Chapter 797 - Japan Versus South Korea IV
“Limit Break!” Mariposa stated as she unleashed the level 200 skill given to summoners.
With one skill, Mariposa unleashed all the soulbounds in her arsenal. Seven bug soulbounds are now present in the battlefield. The Undaunting Stag Beetle, the Psychedelic Butterfly, the Crystal Mantis, the Generator Centipede, the Sonic Dragonfly, the Stink Bug, and the Wyvern Hopper is now released in the battlefield.
All soulbounds of the player Mariposa has been released due to the Limit Break skill.
Soulbounds will have 50% more stats for the ten minutes that they are summoned.
The spacious stadium suddenly started to feel small with all the bug soulbounds in the area. All the gigantic bug soulbounds started rampaging towards the enemy team. The one team member of the South Korean national team could not keep up with the onslaught and died as a result.
Creeopysoo is also backed into the corner as he cannot deal with seven monsters at the same time. He had no choice but to also summon all his undead knights as well. He summoned Moomie and Voodoo Marie. .
As the fight was focused on Creepysoo because of his flashy spells and undead knights, the Japanese Team did not notice that Ain is already near them. Mariposa also noticed too late because the Armor of Darkness that covered Ain is yet to be used which made him become camouflaged in the dreary atmosphere of the stadium.
Ain did quick work of the two other team members of the Japanese National team since they are not tanky enough to soak all the damage that he dealt. He was supposed to kill Mariposa as well but the Crystal Mantis with the support of the Psychedelic Butterfly blocked him from hurting her.
The sharp claws of the Crystal Mantis could easily cut a person in half just like what happened to Ain’s fallen team member. The Psychedelic Butterfly is also using the powder that it is releasing in order to buff the other bug soulbounds.
It did not take long for another of the South Korean National Team’s player to fall. The Sonic Dragonfly managed to kill their priest player. Without the help of the priest player, the tank player of the South Korean national team fell as well. He did manage to use a skill called damage reversal that killed the Generator Centipede.
Mariposa might be alone to protect the two ace players in her team but that does not mean she cannot do it. She is now exhibiting the true reason why summoners are dangerous in the battlefield. She coordinated the soulbounds in a manner that pinned Creepysoo and Ain.
She only needed to buy five minutes of time and they would be assured of their victory. She believed this but she forgot a crucial thing on one of the undead knights that Creepysoo holds. When she noticed that nails and strings were already manifesting above her, it was too late to move away.
A small doll that is likened to Mariposa is created in front of Creepysoo. The damage that the doll receives will reflect to a total of 75% of the target’s health when cast upon a player. Mariposa is suddenly losing health rapidly due to the effect of the skill. She had no choice but to divert the damage to one of her soulbounds.
The damage is diverted to the Undaunting Stag Beetle, but she noticed something wrong again. With just one damage transfer that dealt 50% of her health, her soulbound immediately turned into particles of light. Mariposa then suddenly coughed up blood as a result.
The doll that represented the target that Voodoo Marie creates is not something that can be easily broken with transference skills or spells. She marks the spirit or soul of the target instead of the body which makes this skill dangerous for summoner players.
Creepysoo used this on Equinox during their battle, but the latter just used Rewind to undo all the damage. Mariposa lost 40% of her health as a result since the sudden death of a soulbound also made her take damage. The satisfaction bar that Ares has continued to rise for both teams as they battled to their utmost capabilities.
Ain managed to grasp the attack patterns of the Crystal Mantis and continued with his counterattack. The weakness of bug soulbounds is that some only use their instincts. The Crystal Mantis is one of those bug monsters that heavily relied on instincts which meant that being read meant death.
Ain continued his attacks until the Crystal Mantis fell in battle. He then used his sage arts to pull the Psychedelic Butterfly and beat it to death as well. The Stink Bug and the Sonic Dragonfly noticed that their master is defenseless which is why they left their current battle to aid her.
The Sonic Dragonfly managed to out speed Ain to a large degree with the support of the Stink bug that uses stench to decrease the stats of the enemies. Creepysoo is now free from the other soulbounds but the Wyvern Hopper is not easy to deal with as it is considered as a low rank dragon.
Moomie is currently defending against the Wyvern Hopper, but its boosted stats are not easy to deal even with four undead knights fighting. Don Quixote is almost dead just by taking one of the hits of the Wyvern Hopper. If Voodoo Marie did not heal Don Quixote might have fallen earlier.
Creepysoo and Ain might look calm and composed but they knew that they need to finish the battle now as they can feel the immense power from the two players gathering strength. Ain knew that in order to defeat the soulbounds, the summoner must first be defeated but he cannot get close to Mariposa.
“No choice. Martial Sage Arts: Fox Hunt!” Ain stated as he suddenly vanished from the stadium.
The audience wondered where Ain vanished, but they cannot see him. Exactly one second later, Mariposa, who was flying, suddenly dropped to the ground.. Her soulbounds also turning into particles of light.
