Chapter 34: Kodo Beast Magic—Resurrection Spell

The sudden halt of the Poet Saint nearly rendered the painstaking efforts of Bear and White Day fruitless. Fortunately, he noticed the Kodo beasts that had been blasted away ahead now rising to their feet, and instantly realized the precarious situation he and his companions were in. Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to push himself forward, bracing himself as he charged toward the magical Kodo beast.

Originally, he had believed Bear and White Day could deliver him right to the magical Kodo beast—if not directly beside it, then at least within three meters. That would have allowed him to break through the blockade with ease and preserve more than half his mana to confront the magical Kodo beast! Unexpectedly, after their all-out attack, Bear and White Day were nearly exhausted, and the environment they created for him was extremely harsh.

A distance of seven to eight meters separated him from his target, with at least twenty adult Kodo beasts, several Stone Kodo beasts, and Silver Kodo beasts barring his way. To break through and approach the magical Kodo beast was no simple task—and even if he reached it, he might not have enough strength left to unleash skills against it.

This realization stirred a subconscious urge to retreat—after all, he was merely a level 17 Bronze Lion Warrior. His physical attack and defense were adequate, but his magical resistance was pitifully low. Facing a level 10 magic-type boss, he could easily be killed in two blows. He even began to resent the one who had come up with this harebrained scheme—Scavenger Qilin.

…

Behind, I and the other four watched as the Kodo beast horde failed to close ranks before the Poet Saint broke through, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief. White’s face improved slightly as well.

At least nothing catastrophic happened!

Yet the situation remained dire. As the magical Kodo beast advanced within twenty meters, the Poet Saint was still five meters away from it. If he couldn’t break through the remaining stretch quickly and attack at close range, Tea, who was hiding in the corner, would be in grave danger!

Even with the ice armor boosting her defense, she could withstand at most two rounds of magic attacks. And she still had adult Kodo beasts potentially spawning behind her, so her mana consumption would not be light.

Thinking of this, I glanced quickly at the narrow gap created by Bear, White Day, and Poet Saint’s earlier efforts—a small opening left behind after their simultaneous use of group combat skills wiped out some of the Kodo beasts.

Suddenly, a bold idea sprang from the depths of my mind. “Follow the Poet Saint and face the magical Kodo beast together?!” My heart skipped a beat. I had to admit, the thought was madness—for someone at level 8 to challenge a level 10 boss was almost unthinkable…

After carefully weighing the current predicament of all six and the Poet Saint’s chances of success, I gritted my teeth and, under the shocked gazes of the other four, nimbly slipped through the gap between the Kodo beasts, chasing after the Poet Saint.

“Qilin, you…” White Day called out, about to say something, when suddenly a dark green light shot from the magical Kodo beast’s staff!

The dark green glow enveloped the area where the three had just unleashed their skills. In the next moment…

Nearly ten adult Kodo beasts, who should have been dead, suddenly surged up from the gaps, completely cutting off the retreat of the two. White Day’s cry of “Come back quickly!” turned into a look of dismay and awe at the magical power of the Kodo beasts.

Resurrection spell?

White Day cursed inwardly! Thankfully, the battle hadn’t taken the worst possible turn. Just as the magical Kodo beast revived the Kodo beasts, Scavenger Qilin quickly caught up behind the Poet Saint…

With the Poet Saint leading the charge, nearly all the Kodo beasts’ attention was drawn to his imposing figure, leaving Scavenger Qilin unseen.

Seeing that Scavenger Qilin was momentarily out of danger, White Day and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, their hearts leapt again!

The magical Kodo beast’s “Flaming Fireball” appeared once more… Seeing this, Tea, hiding in the back corner, turned pale—the magical Kodo beast was now within twenty meters of her.

…

“Killing them is useless! Push through!!”

Prompted by my words, the Poet Saint unleashed a fighting prowess unseen in ordinary days. “Lion Rend!” “Lion Charge!” “Lion Slash!” he roared, casting a series of first-level skills. Each charging adult Kodo beast wailed as it was blasted aside, the distance shrinking rapidly to less than two meters.

Faster than I had anticipated.

At that moment…

Whoosh!!

Three massive flaming fireballs shot overhead, blazing hot.

Terrible!

Following behind, my heart skipped a beat.

Whether spurred by the fiery orbs or some other cause, the Poet Saint suddenly let out a mighty roar:

“Furious Lion Slash!”

With that shout, a faint yellow light enveloped him, and, radiating an awe-inspiring aura, he smashed the last Stone Kodo beast in front of the magical Kodo beast to the ground.

Without pause, the Poet Saint rushed up to the magical Kodo beast—its head that of a Kodo beast, its body human—pouring all his remaining mana into his Bronze Greatsword!

Facing the fireballs suddenly appearing above its head, he struck down with all his might!

But just then, a chilling cold surged from behind…

“Tea has struck the target, activating freezing effect. Adult Kodo beast is frozen for 5 seconds.”

“…”

“Tea has struck the target, activating freezing effect. Magical Kodo beast is lightly frozen for 1 second.”

No need to look—this was Tea’s magic, the handiwork of “Frost”!

Affected by the sudden “Frost,” the Kodo beasts entering the light frozen state could no longer gather their magic, and the flaming fireballs above the magical Kodo beast’s head dissipated into countless red fire elements, vanishing without a trace!

In the next second!

The Poet Saint’s Bronze Greatsword struck the magical Kodo beast squarely on the forehead!

Its body shuddered, staggering back two steps, and then a fireball twenty centimeters in diameter appeared in its hand. Before the Poet Saint’s astonished gaze, the fireball rapidly swelled!
