Chapter 261 261: Part 1: The Glade Wars VI
Time seemed to come to a standstill as Cole crossed the distance to appear behind the Darkling. His sword slashed down, leaving a massive gash on the darkling core's back. She swiftly turned, bringing another one of her sharp forelimbs around. Cole stuck his spear into the ground and Intercepted the strike his entire arm vibrating from the power of the hit, but he kept his balance this time, not moving an inch.
He pressed his attack by slashing his sword upwards and separating a significant part of the spider leg that had locked with his spear. She screeched and blasted out a blob of white in his direction, Cole twisted on the balls of his feet, utilizing footwork from the [Black Demon Swordsmanship] to evade as the white stuff blew last him to wrap around one of the other two fighters.
His immediate scream was enough to leave a chill in Cole's heart, as the white blob turned out to be a web, but one that seemed to be coated with sticky acid. The web burnt furrows into his body as it carved into his flesh, like a hot knife through butter, or carrots through a grater as he was diced to pieces by the net. Cole shuddered as he shared a look with the other fighter, perhaps it was an unspoken agreement between the two of them that neither wanted to die like that, so they'd deal with the bigger threat first.
A couple of daggers flew across the distance to stab into the wound Cole had already made on the Arachne's rear end. This guy was good with throwing his knives, seems like he was also some sort of rogue like Cole was. It gave Cole an idea as he used his telekinesis to pull out his own throwing knives, four of them spinning around him, as he held [Black Malakai] tighter. Even though he could not use the skills of the sword or his spear, they were still very devastating tools in his hands.
He sent the dagger flying towards the face of the Arachne Darkling, while the other guy rushed forwards to hack off one of her other legs, causing her to stumble as she caught two of the blade, and dodged the other two, but nothing prepared her for the Cole's spear as the weapon crossed the distance and stabbed into her stomach, carrying with it enough power to drag her backwards across the Glade before nailing her against one of the pillars.
The other rogue gasped in shock, as the Arachne let out a wild screech, almost immediately the call was responded to, as Darklings from all around responded to the call, each and every single one of them rushing to the Glade. But the same barrier that had stopped Cole from chasing with his [Root Cascade] skill, stopped all of them from getting into the Glade. It was crazy, cause usually bosses had cheats like that, but not this one, it was no different than the rest of them.
Cole pointed his sword at the rogue. "Take a step and I'll take your head, let's talk after I'm done with this freak." Then he broke into a run, building up speed and momentum as he rushed forwards and slashed his sword upwards. A massive gale was raised as a condensed blade of wind slashed out and divided the Arachne Darkling Core in half. Cole felt Black Malakai vibrating in his hands the pure physical might and finesse required to swing his sword and generate that wind blade was taxing, and [Black Malakai ] was strained to the limit.
[Glade New Deron's Mayor and Darkling Nest Mother has been slain! Their Dormant Darkling Nest Core and The Territory Order For The Glade Is Now Available To Who Can Claim It AT The End Of This Time 15:59]
Cole picked up the Dormant Darkling Nest Core, as turned to the rogue who was tiptoeing towards the body of the other person that had been unfortunate to get caught in the Arachne's web of doom. "Are you sure you want to be doing that here? I know we can't use skills so how do you propose you can pick that up and keep out of my hands for fifteen minutes straight, or that even if you can, I won't just kill you after, again and again Until you exhaust or your lives and are taken out of the event entirely." Cole smiled at the man, as he looked back from the Territory Order that was now floating above the place the mayor had died.
"Trust me, it might seem like a good idea, and you're thinking maybe it's just a fluke, maybe the rumors about this guy is not true and I can stand against him, after all you've held your own against another mayor and the darkling core. So perhaps you can face the famous World Breaker and get away with it…..just take my word for it, that's a bad idea! Okay?" Cole asked as he spread his hands wide open, as if to say the choice is yours.
The other guy decided to make the wrong choice as he took a step forward , and Cole closed that distance in a second, his sword finding purchase into the man's ribs. The man coughed, blood spouting out of his mouth as he opened his eyes in shock. Cole knew they felt pain here just as they did in the real world, so a sword through one side of your ribs and out the other definitely did not feel good to the senses.
"I told you it was a bad idea….. you should have listened." Cole twisted the sword and dragged it out. It slashing upwards, splitting the man's body open from the point he stabbed upwards to his collar bone. His body was split open like bag as his insides spilled out the side, the gore was all too real, even if it would vanish in no time at all. Cole flicked his blade to the side the sheathed it. Before walking forwards to pick up the territory order.
