Chapter 55: Fighting Jeffrey
Without any choice left, Olsen couldn't care less and used his momentum to spin the axe diagonally, attempting to hack Flamme apart.
Jeffrey also desperately floated backwards to distance himself from Aurora, and at the same time several black snakes emerged from his sleeves and sprung towards Aurora.
Facing the black snakes that were flying densely like a net in front of her, Aurora's speed did not decrease; instead, four swords of energy instantly slashed out, tearing these black snakes into pieces.
As Aurora was kept busy by his snakes, Jeffrey gained some distance between them. His black robe fluttered with the wind, revealing the magic wand hidden under the black robe, which flashed a purple glow.
"Dark imprisonment!"
A deep purple magic circle suddenly emerged below Aurora's feet, and a dozen chains formed by condensed dark elements burst out, trying to entangle her body.
This was the same spell used by Jeffrey to constrain the mercenary squad before, but now he just used it exclusively for Aurora.
Aurora was very familiar with this spell; it was one of the most popular crowd control skills in Legend Online due to its versatility.
The most dreadful thing about this spell was that if it was targeting only one target, the power, durability, and time limit would increase up to three times the original effect depending on the skill's level. This was why a magician with a dark magic skill tree was very popular in PVP.
Fortunately, when they fought with the woman in the black robe before, she was too enraged to use this spell on them.
Aurora needed extra power to break this thing apart, so she sent a large amount of mana to her left hand, and three magic circles hovered in front of her palm—red, yellow, and white—and overlapped with each other into a colorful magic circle.
Lowering her hand, the ball of energy condensed on her left hand blasted away toward the wiggling chain.
"Fusion Magic Cannon!"
Kabooom!!
The two clashed and exploded, hurling enormous energy in all directions.
Aurora skillfully rode the momentum and propelled her body into the sky, flipped her body upside down, stomped her feet on the branch in her trajectory, and shot like a cannon toward Jeffrey, thrusting her crimson sword at him.
"Bastard! Don't underestimate me! Fallen Soul Impact!"
Feeling that his life was threatened, Jeffrey raised his wand and roared at Aurora. In the blink of an eye, a black magic circle exuding chaos appeared on the top of his wand. In the next second, hundreds of dark purple ghost skulls roared and spilled out of it, trying to swallow Aurora like a raging wave.
"Holy Light Barrier!" At this moment, Claudia's staff emitted a soft light, and a pale golden barrier immediately appeared in front of Aurora, protecting her.
A large number of ghastly skulls slammed into the barrier and splattered away.
The light barrier trembled crazily, producing a creaking sound as cracks began to appear in the center.
"Captain! I can't hold it anymore!"
Claudia mobilized all the magic power in her body to desperately maintain the light barrier so that it would not collapse so quickly.
"In that case!"
Aurora clenched her Flamberge Waltz with one hand and pointed it at the magic wand that released the ghost skull endlessly. A ball of energy condensed in her left propelled the sword like a missile cannon upon the contact with the sword pommel.
Swoosh—
Flamberge Waltz strike through the barrier in one fell swoop. The spiral flames bursting from the sword burned the ghost skull that unluckily passed by the sword. Nothing seemed to be able to hinder its path.
Under Jeffrey's horrified eyes, Flamberge Waltz pierced through the magic stone at the crown of his wand.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The magic stone cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye—
Bang!
—and finally broke into pieces.
Flamberge Waltz continued to stab at him with unbreakable momentum.
"No!"
Jeffrey was barely able to avoid the passing sword by a second, the Flamberge Waltz grazed the outer part of his robe and stuck into the ground. The black robe was caught in fire, so Jeffrey quickly discarded it in panic, revealing his real appearance to the world.
"Master, this weird uncle is disgusting, nyaa!" Caila pointed at Jeffrey and shouted in surprise.
From the outside, he seemed like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, but his body was abnormally emaciated. It was not an exaggeration to say that what was left of him was just his skin and bones. Black stripes painted on his pale and wrinkled skin, some even resting in the hollow between his breastbones.
"Shut up! You bloody beastkin! You don't understand anything!"
Jeffrey yelled angrily at Caila when he was poked in the sore spot.
When he was young, he was born with a face that could make any girl squeak and squeal like a bitch, but unfortunately, he gradually turned into this ghastly appearance after being exposed to too many dark elements and staying in a cold and humid environment after summoning the black snake.
"Go, my snakes, and destroy my enemies!"
Jeffrey raised his hands and shouted, and the black snakes surrounding him hissed and swam downstream quickly under his shout, heading towards Claudia and Caila, respectively.
"Snakes! Lots of snakes!"
Seeing these black snakes approaching, Claudia almost jumped up. She was most afraid of snakes and spiders.
At this time, Caila stood up and stood in front of her, drew out her weapon, and pointed at the swimming black snakes: "Claudia, don't be afraid! I will protect you, nyaa!"
"You are still wet in the ear! Just wait to be devoured by my snakes."
"Before that, you'd better save your little life!"
Aurora ran over quickly, pulled up Flamberg Waltz from the ground, and slashed at him.
Clank! Clank!
Jeffrey's wand trembled, resisting Aurora's offensive. Even if Jeffrey lost the magic stone at this moment, his wand can still be used as a temporary close-range weapon.
"Girl, it seems that your strength is only so-so."
During the continuous collisions between the sword and the wand, Jeffrey clearly felt that Aurora's power was not as strong as it seemed, which made him slightly relieved. He pushed Aurora away to make up for it with his hand loading a magic bullet.
Aurora's left hand also released a magic cannon at the exact moment.
Boom!
There was an explosion, and the two were pushed away from each other.
"The guy over there! Hurry up and help! You can't even deal with a little girl, what a waste!" Jeffrey shouted at Olsen.
Olsen, who had just narrowly escaped Flamme's stabbing and was now facing Jeffrey's reprimand, couldn't hide the resentment in his heart.
His combat effectiveness has already suffered greatly as a result of the loss of his left arm. In addition, the previous fight with Jeffrey also consumed a lot of physical strength. It was his limit to be able to keep Flamme busy, albeit briefly.
"It can't go on like this; that garbage is completely untrustworthy."
Jeffrey seemed to have made some decision after dodging Aurora's long sword again, and he directly grabbed a black snake on his body, stuffed it in his mouth, and swallowed it.
"Is he finally going to enter the second stage?"
