A scary figure appeared on top of his head, with slight dizziness that made him see the world blurry. It was such a mighty skill indeed, as even with using his darkness absorption skill, reducing the damage to half, he had lost four thousand Hp nonetheless.
Scary cavalry!
"System alert: Player has used darkness absorption skill. Tempest of lightning sword skill is stored, ready to be used for twenty four hours. Remaining free spots for skill absorption are two."
He had the skill, but he had no time to explore it or see its details at least, as the other NPCs were moving fast, with their swords aiming for him.
"I have to get out of here," he muttered, gritting his teeth to make clear of the target he had in mind.
"Dash piercer!"
He selected this nasty cavalry! He wouldn't risk getting hit again with such a strong skill, or any other one. The next moment, his body was forced by the system to fly in the air for three meters, and this time he wasn't seeing things clearly.
However, how hard was it to locate a big horse and its rider? Even if he was subjected to such a dizzy effect, he was able to attack the cavalry successfully, while aiming to make him fall!
"4000"
The same amount he lost, he repaid to him; with a stun effect for his dizziness. As he fell with the NPC off the back of the horse, he started aiming blindly towards his falling body, using the advantage of being stunned.
"Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab."
"2000, 4000, 2000, 2000, 2000"
Around twelve thousand Hp were cleared in these mere seconds, while Bloom regained his clarity again. once did, he heard the swift move of the sword through air; and it wasn't only one but five!
"Slice!"
"3500"
He hurriedly used his escape skill, driving some distance from the attackers. In the next couple of seconds, he left his body moving smoothly with the skill, while looking for any target to move at!
However he didn't find anyone nearby at this moment, and as such he was forced to use his life saving skill, coupled with a defensive one.
"Breaker piercer!"
His sword moved, clashing with one of the many coming to his back. As his body turned forcibly to face the enemy, he linked it with another skill.
"Fog of gravity!"
He used the active form of the skill, and instantly fog started to well up from him, covering an area of fifty meters, even reaching to the area where his shadow doppelgangers were fighting at!
Instantly all the NPCs here had a moment of pause, and during this moment, his skill dashed him, carrying that NPC three meters in the air, dashing rapidly until he hit one of the three wagons, heavily causing a booming sound accompanied by a sound of crack!
"6000"
A huge figure of damage appeared on top of this NPC, while making him stunned. Bloom didn't delay and used his both swords to hack this NPC, using the advantage of chaos occurring at the enemies behind.
"Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab."
"2000, 2000, 2000, 2000, 2000, 2000, 2000"
Fourteen thousand damage was dealt to this NPC in less than five seconds! By the last hit of his sword, and despite not having a single crit, that NPC fell, died under his hand, triggering two system prompts at the same time.
It was his first NPC kill today, and he wouldn't be the last to fall!
Despite having the urge to check the reports from the system, he didn't have the luxury to shift his attention to that; as the real fight kicked in from the two cavalries here.
Each one used a skill similar to that of his, summoning five doppelgangers each, and each one seemed to have slightly similar strength to the original NPC.
Bloom saw the five summoned by one cavalry on the other end of the wagon, as they were heading towards him. as he turned around, he found five more coming at him, with seven NPCs and one footed cavalry.
"These two are really a pain," he muttered, as this task proved to be much harder than he initially thought!
However he wasn't without a solution! As they closed up to him, he used the gap created by the presence of this wagon, and used a skill towards a distant NPC.
"Hawk!"
The next moment, his body moved, jumping high in the air like a hawk, bypassing the incoming blockage by hair breadth. As his legs touched the ground, he jumped again, and this time he headed towards one of those fighting his shade doppelganger.
"You summoned your doppelganger and wanted to circle me? let's see who has the strongest doppelganger here!" he evilly smirked, while his sword came swiftly, falling like thunder, to hit the NPC in front directly on the back of his head.
"3000"
The NPC lost three thousand Hp points at this mere attack. During his battle with the other NPCs, his shades were quite busy jumping around and using the variety of his skills upon these NPCs. Despite their number here being quite high, reaching fifteen, they managed to decrease their Hp below the critical line, while losing only two doppelgangers in the process.
"Fair exchange," he muttered, while following his sudden attack with two more stabs, clearing the NPC Hp at once, making him fall dead under his feet.
Two more system alerts appeared, and he didn't care about them as he ran directly towards the next NPC.
As his sudden appearance was known to them, the other NPCs were quite prepared for his attack. However, he didn't plan to waste time here, as there were a small army of nine angry NPCs and ten doppelgangers, running after him!
"Slice!"
"3500"
The moment he got near the NPC waving his sword, he went directly towards evading, using his slice skill to move his body along the side of this NPC.
