Second World
chapter-1730

?From within the giant dark sphere in the sky, different colors were occasionally seen. These colors came from the explosion caused by the lightning, wind, and water elements.

"Quetzalcoatl! Try restricting her for a few seconds so I can cast bigger spells!" Broidrireg yelled. He was casting two spells at once.

"It's easier said than done…!!" Quetzalcoatl returned. Several lightning spears appeared around his body as he fought Azzarilth's spectral projection. These spears zoomed forward, attempting to stab Azzarilth's true body.

A large oval portal appeared between Azzarilth and the lightning spears. These lightning spears entered the portal before the portal vanished without a trace. Another oval portal appeared near where Broidrireg was. Quetzalcoatl's lightning spears flew out of this second portal. The lightning spears were slightly different than when they entered the first portal. They had some sort of dark fog attached to them.

The oval portal was Mage Knight's Displace skill, but the one Azzarilth cast was a variant powered by the chaos element. Any attack that went through the portal was enhanced to add chaos damage on top of the original damage.

Broidrireg canceled his spells and erected four magic shields to block the lightning spears.

He wasn't doing this because he was afraid of losing HP from the chaos-enhanced lightning spears. He blocked the lightning spears because of Azzarilth's innate talent, Chaotic Disruption. Any successful direct attack from Azzarilth had a 20% chance of canceling spellcasting. Aside from that, her every successful attack also drained a bit of the targets' stamina or mana, and caused them to lose natural self-recovery for a few seconds.

With that many lightning spears, Broidrireg was very likely to lose his spellcasting if he let the spears hit. If that happened, he would fail his casting and lose his HP, stamina, mana, and natural self-recovery. That's why he chose to stop his spellcasting and blocked the attack instead.

Luckily, this talent didn't apply to passive DOT inflicted by the infernal chaos domain. Otherwise, they would be in serious trouble. Only direct attacks or spells were affected by the Chaotic Disruption.

Azzarilth's ability against a spellcaster might not be as overwhelming as the eldritch beholder, but it was potent enough. Furthermore, the stamina-draining and natural recovery negation also proved troublesome to non-spellcasting enemies. To top it off, this was a passive ability, so it required no effort from Azzarilth.

Azzarilth followed up her attack by casting chaos bombs. Twenty magic balls containing the chaos elements spread and bombarded the space. With such a large AOE, Broidrireg and Quetzalcoatl had trouble dodging the blast. Both of them failed to cast any spells. The infernal chaos domain also boosted all attacks containing chaos elements.

Broidrireg and Quetzalcoatl were helpless. It's not like they wanted to remain within the domain. The problem was that Azzarilth's infernal chaos domain was a mobile one. It followed Azzarilth and always placed her at its center. Unless they chose to stop fighting Azzarilth and flee, they would have to stay within the domain. They could only endure the effect until this domain ran out of duration.

Out of frustration, Quetzalcoatl forced himself to advance. The thin lightning suit still protected his body. He flapped his wings as he advanced, producing sharp lightning blades that sliced at Azzarilth.

Azzarilth cast Chaos Magic Wall to block those lightning blades. While doing so, her spectral projection came from above to intercept Quetzalcoatl's advance.

Broidrireg might have a problem casting big spells, but the speed of casting spells with six runes or below was almost instant to him. He aimed these spells at Azzarilth's spectral projection, hindering it enough to give Quetzalcoatl free passage.

When he was close, Quetzalcoatl folded his wings and spun at high speed. He turned into a gigantic drill charged with electricity. This giant drill slammed into Azzarilth's chaos magic wall. The magic wall shattered after resisting for one second. The lightning drill proceeded forward and aimed at Azzarilth.

Azzarilth was not just a capable spellcaster, she was also a powerful melee combatant. Before the lightning drill hit, she shifted position. This was Shadow Flash skill. It was similar to Jack's Flash Step but could be performed in the air.

Her new position was beside the lightning drill. She swung her claw down at the drill. The air where the claw passed through was torn as if paper. Out of the torn space, a void was created.

Quetzalcoatl knew the danger of Azzarilth's Void-tearing Claw. He stopped his drilling form and dodged the claw. While he successfully dodged the deadly claw, he was not fast enough to dodge Azzarilth's follow-up attack, a tail slap.

Quetzalcoatl was too close. Azzarilth's tail was very fast. When he sensed her tail slap, it already arrived at the side of his head. The impact sent him reeling and tumbling through the air.

Broidrireg didn't have the time to worry about Quetzalcoatl. He wished that Quetzalcoatl could buy him time to complete powerful spells, but he only managed to cast two seven-run offensive spells, Infinite Water Spears and Whirlwind Serpent.

Azzarilth was not at all flustered by Broidrireg's spells. She had her spectral projection tanked Broidrireg's spells while she rushed to Quetzalcoatl.

Quetzalcoatl wasn't going to just lay down and let her do as she wished. He gathered his energy and unleashed her divine lightning breath.

The lightning breath hit Azzarilth square in her chest.

"Take that, b*tch…!!" Quetzalcoatl exclaimed triumphantly.

"Quetzalcoatl, be careful! Prepare to evade…!" Broidrireg shouted with urgency.

Quetzalcoatl was still puzzled by Broidrireg's warning when he noticed Azzarilth was grinning. Then he noticed Azzarilth didn't receive any damage from his breath attack and her body was glowing with soft light.

What Azzarilth used was Absorb Energy. While Spring Crown activated this skill using his weapon, Azzarilth could use her body to execute the skill. With the boosted energy gained from Quetzalcoatl's divine lightning breath, she opened her jaws and released a terrifying torrent of energy.

Quetzalcoatl was engulfed by the divine chaos breath. He screamed in pain as the powerful blast washed over him. His HP was also reduced by a great deal.

"Quetzalcoatl…!!!" Broidrireg yelled with worry. He wanted to go help but Azzarilth's spectral projection barred his way.

Quetzalcoatl was sent a large distance away before the divine chaos breath ended. Many scars caused by the breath attack were seen on his body. He also lost his lightning suit. The DOT from the infernal chaos domain affected him again.

Azzarilth snickered. "You two are pathetic," she said with disdain.
