Debuff Master

Chapter 499

‘I-Impossible!’ Siegfried couldn't believe that he was poisoned. He had extremely high resistance to poison, so most poisons wouldn't affect him at all. In fact, he was a source of radioactive energy, which meant that he would definitely not be affected by poison.

So how che ended up getting poisoned after just clashing with them?

This was proof that the venom possessed by Hennessy’s Apparitions was extremely–no, at the pinnacle of all poison, and the fact that he was poisoned even though they did not hit him was already more than enough proof.

“Insignificant creature.”

“You cannot stop my resurrection.”

“My poison will disintegrate you.”

“Die! Insect!”

Hennesy’s Apparitions sensed that Siegfried was poisoned and picked up the pace of their attacks. The combined attacks of the towering apparitions, which stood two meters tall, were ferocious, and they landed blow after blow on Siegfried.

“Ack!” Siegfried screamed after receiving a ton of physical damage. He had been pushed into a corner on top of being poisoned, but the fire in his eyes remained strong.

‘I have to end this in an instant.’

The only thing on his mind right now was to swiftly end this fight with Hennessy’s Apparitions.

Woooong!

He gathered his mana and placed a white field around him.

Flash!

A blinding light flashed from the field, completely enveloping Hennessy’s Apparitions. It was Siegfried’s most powerful crowd control skill, Absolute Zero.

‘I have to end this right now...’ Siegfried clenched his +13 Horse Fly tightly.

Whoosh!

Then, Siegfried jumped into the air and slammed his +13 Horse Fly into the ground.

Rumble!

Splitting Heaven and Earth unleashed its fury not only on Hennessy’s Apparitions but also on Hennessy’s Cocoon situated atop the Sun Pyramid, but...

“You dare...”

“Is that your last stand?”

“You will not die a peaceful death.”

“What an annoying frost this is...”

Shockingly, Hennessy’s Apparitions didn't die despite getting hit by Splitting Heaven and Earth. In fact, even Absolute Zero couldn't seem to freeze them either.

Other enemies would have already been frozen solid by Absolute Zero and the following impact from Splitting Heaven and Earth would have smashed them to smithereens, but these monsters remained alive.

Of course, Siegfried’s combo wasn't completely useless against them.

C-Crack...!

Their frozen joints would crack whenever they took a step forward, but that was about the extent of damage the combo had done to them.

Hennessy’s Apparitions soon regained their mobility and attacked Siegfried once again.

The Level 300 monsters lived up to their levels by not only surviving the Absolute Zero and Splitting Heaven and Earth combo but also going after Siegfried and driving him to a corner right after the combo.

While Siegfried was busy fighting against the four apparitions...

Badump! Badump! Badump!

The cocoon pulsated even faster as its hatching tdrew nearer.

[Hennessy]

[Status: Hatching]

[TRemaining: 6 minutes, 51 seconds...]

Every second counted...

‘It’s not going to be easy fighting against all four of them. I need to shake them off somehow and destroy that cocoon first,’ Siegfried thought before activating his title, Pesky Brat, and dashing as fast as he could away from the apparitions.

Shwoong!

He ran so fast that he started running along the walls of the Sun Pyramid even though the slope was nearly seventy degrees steep.

“This little rat!”

“Catch him!”

“Stop right there!”

“Where do you think you’re going?!”

Hennessy’s Apparitions chased after Siegfried as he ran on the pyramid walls.

‘I need to shake them off and isolate the cocoon with Grand Duel. Then, I’ll throw everything I got at it. Death’s Touch, Quick Draw, and finish it with Torrential Flower Rain.’ Siegfried formulated a plan in his head while running along the walls of the pyramid.

The monsters chasing after him would no longer be an issue if he managed to use Grand Duel on the cocoon, right?

‘Almost there!’ Siegfried ran as fast as he could toward the top of the pyramid where Hennessy was located.

‘I can almost use Grand Duel just a bit–’

It was then.

“You shall not pass.”

“You shall not pass.”

“You shall not pass.”

“You shall not pass.”

The four Hennessy’s Apparitions suddenly appeared in front of Siegfried and blocked his path.

“W-What?!” Siegfried exclaimed in pure shock. The four Apparitions were definitely chasing after him just a few seconds ago, but they were now standing in front of him. He could not help but wonder if these monsters had used teleport or ssimilar skill.

He looked back to check and was shocked.

“Stop right there!”

“You’re just an insect! Quit resisting!”

“Haha! Fool!”

“Where do you think you’re going?”

The four apparitions were still chasing after him from behind.

‘Damn it... There were eight of them, to begin with...’ Siegfried grimaced after realizing that he was up against eight monsters from the start. He was already having a hard tagainst four of them, so fighting eight of them all on his own was without a doubt going to be an impossible challenge.

“Die, you insignificant creature!”

“Die, you insignificant creature!”

“Die, you insignificant creature!”

“Die, you insignificant creature!”

Hennessy’s Apparitions attacked him all at once from all directions.

***

Crack!

Siegfried gritted his teeth and swung his +13 Horse Fly as hard as he could, but there was no way he could defeat numerous Level 300 monsters while he was poisoned.

‘Damn it... My body isn’t listening to me...’ Siegfried couldn't land even a single hit on the apparitions and was forced to only defend against their attacks.

However, he was not going to give up.

‘Now that it turned into this... I’ll beat them to death one by one!’ Siegfried clenched his fist and cup with the one and only solution he could think of at the moment.

His plan was to use Grand Duel to kill Hennessy’s Apparitions one at a time, taking advantage of the skill’s effect of instantly going off cooldown upon his victory. Moreover, the skill would also restore his HP[1], Mana, and Stamina upon victory.

If he used Grand Duel on Hennessy’s Apparitions and killed them one by one, he might still have stleft to destroy the cocoon before the boss monster awakened.

“Here goes nothing!!” Siegfried screamed at the top of his lungs and swung his +13 Horse Fly.

The Hennesy’s Apparitions nonchalantly took a step back to avoid the attack, but this was well within Siegfried’s calculations, as he immediately used Grand Duel on the apparition closest to him.

Krwaaaang!

Fwaaaaah!

Pillars of flames shot up from the ground and hardened to form the Barrier of Victory around him and a Hennesy’s Apparition.

“Do you think this cheap trick will work on me?!” Hennesy’s Apparition shouted in anger.

“Let’s go on a lovely date together, shall we?!” Siegfried retorted with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

“W-What?!”

“The others are waiting for you, so let’s hurry up and finish this!”

“I thought this was a date?! How can you think of others while you’re on a date with me–”

It was then.

‘What the fuck is this crazy bastard saying?’ Hennesy’s Apparition realized that it got distracted by Siegfried’s nonsense, but it was too late. Read Web s Online Free - Fire Fire -

Shwaaaaa!

Thousands of projectiles flew like a beautiful flower rain within the Barrier of Victory, but the beautiful sight lasted for only a short while as they flew ferociously toward the Hennessy’s Apparition.

The Barrier of Victory looked like a blender grinding something, which in this case was Hennessy’s Apparition.

“T-That’s a bit...” Siegfried grimaced and grumbled at the grotesque sight. He thought he had a pretty strong stomach, but the sight of something getting blended right in front of his eyes made his stomach churn, and he was forced to close his eyes.

However, using Torrential Flower Rain within the Barrier of Victory was extremely effective.

The Hennessy’s Apparition was nowhere to be seen by the tSiegfried opened his eyes, and the only remnant of it was a thick gooey green puddle on the floor.

“Ugh... That’s gross...” Siegfried felt nauseous after seeing what remained of the monster.

Krwaaaang!

The duel was over, and the Barrier of Victory crumbled.

[Alert: The cooldown tof Grand Duel has been reset!]

[Alert: Your HP has recovered!]

[Alert: Your Mana has recovered!]

[Alert: Your Stamina has recovered!]

The cooldown tof Grand Duel was reset, and Siegfried’s HP, Mana, and Stamina were restored, as the duel had ended in his victory.

‘It’s not enough...’

Unfortunately, Siegfried knew that this was far from enough, so he took out a Mutated Three-Legged Octopus and munched on it while running toward his next target.

“Next customer!” Siegfried shouted and used Grand Duel once again.

Thirty seconds later...

Krwaaaang!

The Barrier of Victory crumbled, and Siegfried reappeared. The corpse of one of the apparitions was on the ground, and it had been split into two by Quick Draw.

“Next!” Siegfried shouted once again while munching on another Mutated Three-Legged Octopus.

Krwaaaang! Follow current s on NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt

Siegfried repeated this process several times.

“Next!”

The third apparition was shredded to death by Torrential Flower Rain just like the first one.

“Next!”

The fourth apparition was struck to death by Leonid’s ultimate skill, Blackhole Strike.

“Next!”

The fifth apparition was grappled to death by another one of Leonid’s ultimate skills, Cyclone Slam.

“Welcome!”

The sixth customer had its head disintegrated by the Energy Buster from the Great Champion’s Belt.

Six out of the eight Hennessy’s Apparitions were finally dead...

‘Not yet!’

However, Siegfried didn't stop there. He chewed on another Mutated Three-Legged Octopus and used Grand Duel to kill the remaining two Hennessy’s Apparitions.

Thus, he managed to kill all eight of Hennessy’s Apparitions, showing the terror of the Debuff Master. Yes, he'd gain additional stat and skill points due to his Hidden Class, but what truly made him scary was the efficiency of his skills in combat which could only be described as insane.

On top of that, he had also learned skills from Weapons Master Shakiro, Sword Emperor Betelgeuse, and Grappling Master Leonid. All of these made it possible for him to defeat Level 300 monsters.

However, Siegfried didn't have tto relish in his victory, as he had to rush to the top of the Sun Pyramid.

[Hennesy’s Cocoon]

[Status: Hatching]

[TRemaining: 59 seconds...]

There was less than a minute left, and he had to destroy the cocoon within a minute.

***

‘I’ll start with Splitting Heaven and Earth.’

Siegfried used his skill at the grotesque-looking pulsating cocoon.

Rumble!

But...

[Hennessy’s Cocoon]

[HP: ??????????]

The cocoon practically received no damage just like a while ago.

“Why the hell is this thing so tough?!” Siegfried screamed out of frustration and used Quick Draw on the cocoon.

Sukeok!

The Sword Emperor’s secret technique cut the cocoon but...

[Hennessy’s Cocoon]

[HP: ??????????]

It still received practically no damage.

“I can deal damage to it, but its HP is not reducing...?” Siegfried was baffled by what was happening. He was certain that the damage counter appeared just now, but the cocoon’s HP didn't reduce even by a sliver.

‘Defense...? No, this has nothing to do with defense. This thing is just loaded with HP!’ Siegfried realized that the cocoon wasn't actually tough; it was just a bullet sponge.

[Hennessy’s Cocoon]

[Status: Hatching]

[TRemaining: 30 seconds...]

There were only thirty seconds remaining before Hennessy's awakening.

‘N-Nooo!’ Siegfried raised his +13 Horse Fly and focused all of his debuff fields around the cocoon in preparation to use his two ultimate skills. He knew that only Death’s Touch and Torrential Flower Rain was his best bet to destroy the cocoon.

‘I’ll use Grand Duel first before...’ Siegfried planned to use Grand Duel to maximize the amount of damage he could deal within the remaining thirty seconds. Thus, he prepared to use Grand Duel and unleash all of his strength at the cocoon but...

Shwiiiiik! Puuuk!

An arrow flew out of nowhere and pierced the cocoon and...

Kabooooom!

A powerful explosion erupted and devoured the cocoon.

‘What was that?!’ Siegfried hurriedly looked toward where the arrow had cfrom.
