Chapter 576 Ironwood Assassination (part 2)
The Emberforge Blake was an epic-tier katana crafted from a combination of obsidian and the heart of a dormant volcano. Its blade shimmered with a molten fiery core and it radiated a palpable heat even when sheathed.
The epic tier katana granted the user 4 abilities, with the first being Inferno strike. This ability unleashed a searing crescent of flames towards a target. Upon impact, the target is enveloped in intense, burning fire, causing both physical and searing magical damage.
The second ability was Flame Mastery which granted the wielder a greatly increased level of control over fire. Not only could they manipulate nearby flames, but they could even summon small firestorms at will for tactical advantage.
The second to the last ability was Fire Resonance which grants the wielder immunity to extreme heat and fire-based attacks for 5 seconds, and passive increase to the wilder's fire resistance.
Last was the Incendiary Aura. By channelling their will into the blade, the wielder can envelop themselves in an incendiary aura, setting fire to anything that comes into direct contact. This aura not only provided a defence against close-quarters attackers but also dealt constant burn damage.
These 4 abilities made it a top-tier weapon among epic-tier weapons, but such strength came with 2 drawbacks.
Using the weapon for a prolonged period of time, the wielder would experience sudden bursts of anger and also a constantly increasing vulnerability to water and ice throughout the duration of use.
Inferno Strike!
The Ulrik descendant, skilfully swung his blade multiple times, sending out searing crescent flames towards Blake who was standing still all this while.
CRASH!
The crescent flames successfully connected to Blake, but instead of being pushed back or showing any signs of damage, Blake's body shattered into hundreds of pieces.
"An Illusion!" He was alarmed.
At the same time, Blake rose out of the darkness behind the Ulrik descendant and struck at the yellow barrier multiple times.
Almost instantly, rows of earth spikes shot out towards Blake forcing him to stop his attacks and jump out of the ground, before blending back into the darkness.
The Ulrick descendant had predicted the attack, but he had been a second late in executing the counter-attack thanks to the drain effects of the speed domain.
Appearing above the outside part of the darkness domain, Blake controlled a thunderbolt from the dark sky to strike down at him before firing it back into a portal and repeating the cycle again.
'I don't need Ebony and Ivory to break your defences!' Blake grinned as he was once again struck by lightning.
"Shit!" The family head couldn't help but curse as he saw what Blake was doing.
His expression had turned serious the moment he saw the dark sky, but it had soon changed to panic as he saw the speed and darkness domain enveloping his brother. contemporary romance
Now he knew why Blake had the confidence to attack both of them!
AWOO!
Seeing his reaction to Blake's action, Ebony and Ivory continuously circled him as they increased their firepower on him.
"They just keep coming!" The family head was annoyed as he felt the increase in pressure. However, before he could do anything, Ebony and Ivory lunged at him from opposite sides.
Wind Tunnel!
A tunnel of strong winds appeared in between the wolves and pushed him out of the way.
BANG!
Ebony and Ivory went straight for each other, but instead of colliding they combined into their Gray wolf form, and immediately fired a large beam of ice toward him.
'I almost thought I got a break!' The family head cursed Ebony and Ivory as he once again moved out of the way. However, that was when a large spatial corridor opened in the Ice beam's path.
"You've got to be kidding me!" The family head was on high alert in case a spatial tear appeared, but it was at this moment that Blake had completed the 3rd cycle of lightning amplification.
…
Back inside the darkness domain, the Family head's brother had been relentlessly throwing out attacks at Blake's illusions.
"Come out and fight!" He screamed in rage and annoyance, but unexpectedly, Blake replied.
"Alright." Blake said as he cancelled the darkness domain, however, it was at this moment that the amplified lightning crashed down on the Ulrik descendant.
BOOM!
The thunderbolt crashed into the yellow barrier, instantly shattering both it and the rock armour into pieces.
His eardrums were ruptured, his eyes blinded by the bright light, and his body and organs severely damaged by the electricity.
The Ulrik descendant who was in a very bad condition was still trying to get himself in order when a large spatial tear opened and a powerful beam of ice shot at him.
As a result of the limitations of Emberforge, he was instantly turned into a solid block of ice with the blade of Emberforge poking out.
"One down, one more to go." Blake said aloud as he walked up to the Ulrik descendant and grabbed the hand that held onto the Emberforge before shattering the rest of the body.
"NOOOOOOO!" The family head screamed rage and pain as he watched his brother's body being shattered.
"Cool weapon you got here." Blake smiled as he melted the frozen hilt of Emberforge and inspected it. Since the owner was dead, the bind was destroyed, thus making it safe to take.
With an evil grin on his face, Blake turned his attention to the family head. "Time to get this over with."
…
Outside the domain, members of the Ash Corps had completely surrounded the area and were now waiting for the arrival of an artefact to open the domain.
However, just as the artefact arrived at the scene, the domain opened up.
THUD!
Right before their eyes, the headless corpse of the Family Head and the shattered body of his brother dropped to the ground, but no one else was seen.
Fear gripped the hearts of all those at the scene, as they immediately reported to the situation to the city commander.
