Chapter 123: Chapter 122: Ambush
Being attacked by a large number of ghosts was not pleasant for Albedo. Although the ghosts' combat abilities weren't very strong, over time, they caused considerable damage to her.
Albedo had tried to eliminate the ghosts, but whenever she killed one, another stronger one appeared, so she gave up on counterattacking.
Currently, there are more than 30 ghosts present, each at level 92. Just now, the majority of the ghosts were wiped out by Peroroncino.
Albedo's health has also been reduced to 70%.
While the heroic spirits have sustained significant damage, they are still easily able to protect the main body of the ghosts with the help of other ghosts.
A level 100 heroic spirit warrior with no skills, and as a tank, dealing with Albedo was extremely difficult.
As Albedo was thinking about how to handle the current predicament, Rubedo arrived.
With one kick, she sent the heroic spirit warrior of Shalltear flying.
The heroic spirit warrior immediately flew back to launch a counterattack.
"Sonics Boom Punch!"
"Boom!"
A loud sonic boom sounded, and the heroic spirit warrior was instantly killed.
"Too strong," Albedo thought to herself.
Because she had been focused on the immediate situation, Albedo hadn't properly observed Lubedo and didn't know just how strong she was. It wasn't until now that she gained a proper understanding of her abilities.
With just a basic skill, Rubedo easily defeated the heroic spirit warrior.
Without the heroic spirit warrior to hold her back, Albedo could finally focus on dealing with the ghost's main body.
"Impure Shield Impact!"
Shalltear charged in front of Rubedo. The Impure Shield Impact had a very strong repelling effect, and the user could choose between repelling or not repelling with the attack.
Shalltear used the skill to send Rubedo flying a thousand meters away.
"Maximize Magic Radiant Light!"
Albedo didn't expect that Shalltear's attack target would be her. By the time she realized it, it was too late to use a skill to defend.
Without using a defensive skill, she couldn't withstand Shalltear's attack.
"Ah~~!"
Albedo screamed in agony.
"Chidori Strike!" Rubedo activated her skill.
Rubedo's speed sharply increased as she delivered a flying kick toward Shalltear.
At the same time, Peroroncino wasn't idle either.
"Special skill:
Song of Heaven's Roar"
Lock-on skill: Sky Dragon Wraith
Peroroncino shot a seemingly ordinary black arrow.
The moment the arrow was released, a ghostly black dragon, twisted and demonized, appeared.
Surrounding the black dragon were floating skulls shrouded in black mist.
Because of Peroroncino's earlier words, Rubedo thought this attack was aimed at Albedo.
She didn't pay any attention at all.
With a single flying kick, she struck Shalltear.
"Wind Tiger Fist!"
Rubedo threw a punch toward Shalltear, and a fierce tiger manifested on her fist.
Shalltear's armor was shattered, and her body sustained significant damage.
Rubedo suddenly sensed killing intent.
When Shalltear saw that Perorochino was attacking Rubedo, she understood his intention.
"Pure Throwing Spear!"
The special holy attribute spear, which was guaranteed to hit, struck Rubedo.
The attack interrupted Rubedo's attempt to use a defensive skill.
The black dragon slammed heavily into Rubedo's body.
Rubedo's red leather outfit was torn in multiple places.
This leather, like Shalltear's armor, had extremely high defensive properties.
However, the skill Peroroncino had just used had a percentage-based defense penetration effect. The guaranteed hit effect meant the damage wasn't insignificant.
Rubedo felt that both her physical defense and magic resistance had drastically decreased.
Both had been reduced by nearly half.
On the other side, Albedo, free from any distractions, successfully killed the ghost's main body.
However, because Albedo had abandoned her defense in an attempt to forcefully kill the ghost, she had sustained considerable damage.
Her health had already dropped to 60%.
Rubedo's health was now down to 65%.
Shalltear's health was at 80%.
Peroroncino had not taken any damage throughout the entire fight.
"Maximize Magic Divine Light Prison!"
Peroroncino held the Hou Yi Bow in one hand and released the skill.
"Bang!"
A crisp gunshot rang out.
It interrupted Peroroncino's skill, but only caused minimal damage to him.
"The sound of that gunshot... it's CZ2128 Delta!" Peroroncino said.
"See through! Far Sight!" Peroroncino used two observation skills and discovered CZ2128 Delta hiding far in the distance.
"Wait, this isn't right. It's a Doppelgängers." Peroroncino instantly recognized that it wasn't CZ2128 Delta, but rather a Doppelgängers
"Is She the Doppelgängers that sided with Albedo?" Peroroncino thought to himself.
Rubedo spoke up:
"Let's deal with Shalltear first! She's protecting Peroroncino with her life. If we don't take care of her, it'll be hard to get close to Peroroncino."
"No, we should deal with Peroroncino first. The Doppelgängers is holding Peroroncino back. If we don't act now, the Doppelgängers will likely die."
"Let it die and revive later. Take care of Shalltear first. Peroroncino is just a lone archer; we can slaughter him at will."
"Alright!"
Albedo hesitated for a moment before agreeing with Rubedo's plan..
