[ You have absorbed the blood essence of a 'Novice Demon Shaman', purification in progress… ]
[ You have obtained 334,182 EP! ]
Although the location given by the 'Knight' Long was very rough and hard to exactly pinpoint in this chaotic battlefield that turned chaotics after seconds of both armies' engagement, I was still able to find them easily once I got within proximity thanks to the advancement of my both my Perception and Wisdom stat which in turn increased the prowess of both 'Omni-viewing Eye' and 'Sensory Area'!
'I should pick up the pace…'
Of course, while it was necessary to take care of these 'shamans' so that the battle wouldn't take an unexpected turn, to me, the extermination of as many demons as possible was just as important, not to mention the fact that it was very likely for my performance to decide the quest rewards that would be given, just the EP that I would gain was enough of a reason to put it at the top of my list.
Relying only on my dual swords and dual crossbows naturally didn't reach the desired speed for me who wanted to at least wipe out a quarter of this army on my own, not that I was only going to rely on them anyway. After all, even though my primary target at that time was the tower challenge, I didn't learn elemental weapon techniques just for show!
Other than employing the 'Freezing Venom' technique to the Ice elemental arrows fired by my crossbow, I also planned to use 'Aerial Sword' which actually suited this battlefield too well!
Operating its sequence and fusing Wind elements with Sword Essence separately from the normal stream of elements and essence that was supplied to my dual swords, I temporarily let my swords float in the air as they were being held by my mental energy as two azure green long daggers of identical shape materialized in their place…
The speed at which the process of Wind Essence gathering into shape was so quick that it almost made it look like the two long daggers appeared out of nowhere!
Immediately after, I repeated the process twice more, ending up with 5 long daggers made of Wind Essence floating in front of me as I held back the two swords and slashed away the head of the demon soldier who was indiscriminately attacking me.
Although three times the process should have resulted in six daggers instead of five, the threshold of 'Aerial Sword' at Intermediate Mastery was still persistent, conjuring more than five weapons and ending up unable to move was a very stupid trade-off that I naturally wouldn't choose to make.
The difference of one weapon wasn't that much anyway. Besides, I wasn't planning to use these long daggers in a normal manner anyway.
The five azure green long daggers which were standing still in the air suddenly started to spin in a straight manner as I controlled it using my Sword Essence before adding some more strength using my mental energy, the blades' shape already disappeared as they were replaced by five green discs!
'Why does it look so similar to those discs from that show…?'
As the discs seemed to produce a slight shining light due to their fast spinning speed, I couldn't help but compare them to the discs used by the bald character from that dragon something show. This wasn't the first similarity either, even the Sky Dragon's juvenile body looked quite similar to that series's dragon…
'Whatever…'
Of course, as this wasn't the right time to think of such miscellaneous matters, I immediately focused my attention on the five whirling discs and sent them to start their own killing spree!
A demon that was cooperating with a fellow demon to finish off a human Swordmaster suddenly stopped in place. A clean slit was quickly revealed on his neck as black blood gushed out!
'Not bad!'
The weapons formed with Wind Essence were naturally quite strong to damage the flesh of these high leveled demons, but as a remotely controlled object, it still lacked the weight behind the hands that used them. Especially when compared to my own hands, they wouldn't be able to achieve one-hit kills like I was able to.
As such, I came up with the strategy of using the blades in that way to achieve more critical damage, which was quite apparent in my first test against a demon with average strength. Although it might not be as easy to kill the demons on the higher end with one hit, wouldn't the cooperation of two discs be enough to end the deal?
With 'Omni-viewing Eye' handling a circular area around me with a diameter of 20 to 25 meters, wouldn't my efficiency double at the very least?
'Huh, another one this quickly?'
Few minutes didn't even pass after Light had departed from the last shaman's location, yet I received another transmission from Long of another one, this definitely…
'It's getting fishier by the second…'
Unlike the 'Demon Shaman' that I met in the last base which could at least had a few weird elemental-like attack spells when I checked its status, the earlier target seemed to be much more useless in comparison, having only a basic technique of sorts and identified as a 'Novice' by the system. However, with how strange the things these shamans dealt with, underestimating his 'supernatural' ability just because of that wasn't the right answer, especially when taking the fact that he was being nannied by a 'Sword Demon' of a higher tier than the one who I met in the last base.
Assuming that it wasn't just a coincidence for two shamans to be this close to each other, then the number of shamans naturally wouldn't be small, this only made me even more sure that some sort of a 'hidden blade' was prepared by the demons in the case of an unfortunate scenario.
'This makes it the current top priority…'
Immediately dashing and killing my way to the next location pointed by Long, I didn't particularly try to kill more demons than necessary to open a path for myself. In this peculiar situation, time was truly of the essence!
