Chapter 71: Powerful Mist
Sara's Ultimate Skill was her strongest weapon, and most of her skills were hidden beneath that skill. Once she activated the ultimate power, Sara's strength would rise significantly.
It would be still far from her peak, though.
Nonetheless, the NPCs who had reset their level had it tough. It depended on a person, but most of their skills would either get sealed or heavily weakened.
In Sara's case, she could bring out her dullahan power in two ways. Either use the Ultimate Skill or let her head separate from her body.
Both had tremendous weaknesses that could result in her death should she fail to erase her enemy.
Thus, Sara was ecstatic that she could use one of her epic skills without leveraging the Ultimate Skill!
"Schnee! We are no longer playing around!" Sara ran toward her cat sister.
After her sister's call, Schnee stopped dancing and killing monsters. She glanced toward Sara, her golden eyes narrowed.
To say nothing of her armor, the dullahan momma had suffered heavy losses from her clash against Wolfen Demon. Of course, thanks to Stella's healing, Sara's lacerations closed, and just minor wounds remained.
Nonetheless, Schnee displayed a genuine ire, "What's the plan?"
"The four bosses!" Sara replied, then she shouted toward her winged sister, "Stella! Follow us!"
An army of black wolves bared the Deathwill Sisters' way. Their excessive numbers, genuine madness within their hues, and howling forms looked absolutely irritating to Schnee and Sara.
Before Schnee voiced her opinion, Sara shouted, "Dullahan's Mist!"
A dense and grayish mist, as if straight from the graveyard, appeared around Sara. It swallowed her whole, then spread further in all directions.
At last, Schnee disappeared within the mist as well.
"You should feel my presence now," Sara's voice came from the same spot.
Schnee nodded and glanced in Sara's direction. Since her big sister was already running, Schnee turned into a cat form and ran after her.
In that mist, Sara hid her presence. She could erase the sound coming from her as well. Her control was also perfect, as she could allow her sisters to feel her presence and voice. The mist also had an offensive use!
What mattered the most was that Sara and her sisters could easily go through the black wolves. Those low-level creatures and their instincts were rendered useless in Sara's domain, making them look like fools looking for their masters.
"We will be quick and decisive! Let's kill all those bosses in less than five minutes!" Sara shouted like a warrior.
From behind her, Schnee commented, "You don't have to be so impatient. He won't die anyway."
Sara ignored that comment, "The four bosses are already moving. Our first boss is charging straight at us, hoping that he will find us through this reckless move. I will smash his face with my spear, and you will amplify the damage, Schnee!
Stella, you don't have to use your mana for offensive yet! Keep it for healing, instead!"
"Big sis! She can use some wind blades, can't she?" Schnee rolled her eyes, then closed her mouth after not receiving any response.
Sara was too serious! Her focus remained on the impending black wolf boss, whose form was just a few meters before her.
In an instant, Sara gathered some of her gray mist around her spear. She added a few layers of it to her weapon, then an additional layer that spun around her spear's tip. In that form, Sara added durability and damage to her weapon.
And that spinning mist gifted her destructive power that would be like a drill within the enemy's body!
"The first one!" Sara shouted as the black wolf boss' howling face emerged from the dense mist.
She immediately threw a powerful thrust.
[Black Wolf Boss Lv. 25 HP: 2500/2500 MP: 350/550]
[Black Wolf Boss Lv. 25 HP: 2014/2500 MP: 350/550]
It didn't matter whether the boss had tough skin or flesh. Sara ignored his defenses, her spear sinking seamlessly into his forehead. Her mist spiraled like a wild beast, digging deeper into the monster's skull, searching for his brain.
Blood oozed in all directions like a fountain. Some of the boss' flesh flew past Sara's cheek as she pressed her spear further, using her body's weight as an additional force.
That one thrust took nearly five hundred health points. And then, Sara pressed more and more, increasing the blood loss and amplifying the bleeding.
But the real damage amplifier came from Schnee. In her small cat form, Schnee pounced at Sara's spear, then slid down toward the wolf's face.
Her little paws scratched the boss' forehead. Although her scratches tickled, her debuff skill sank into the monster's body.
His tough flesh became softer, lowering his physical defenses significantly. In this way, Sara's damage rose, bringing her closer to the boss' brain.
To help her further and vent out some of her frustration, Schnee kicked the boss's head and jumped up.
Her form turned into a humanoid girl whose bouncing chest would gather the attention of intelligent and horny male species.
She gently spun, then descended with a punch. Her little fist sank into the boss' torso, which bent like a bow.
The boss cried, his head going up due to the pressure coming from behind.
At last, Sara found his brain. Her eyes flashed with constant messages about the critical strikes and the monster's enemy loss. As his HP dropped low, Sara promptly took out her spear, inflicting the death blow.
Sara smiled, "We didn't even allow him to use his skills. But the remaining three." She turned to the side, then her smile widened, "These three will hurl some stuff at us. I am not done yet, though."
Sara immediately took a battle pose to face one of the three remaining bosses to attest to her words. Her head flew up, raising her body's power and speed.
"I will deal with the right one alone. You work with Stella, keep them busy, and wait for me," Sara said.
Her cat sister chuckled, "Someone is fired up. If you take your time, I will throw some aid to you."
Sara nodded, then became headless… Her head flew up toward Stella, "I don't want to spend my mana on keeping my head safe. Hold it, Stella."
"…" Stella hovered her eyes on her sisters without letting any response.
"Hold it!"
"Ok." Stella extended her hands, taking her sister's head.
Schnee chuckled, "Couldn't you become headless faster?"
"That process has a weakness, just like the Ultimate Skill," Sara replied loudly, no longer paying attention to Schnee.
She entrusted her sister with a pretty challenging task. But who else, other than Schnee and her weird abilities, would keep two bosses busy to give time to the dullahan momma?
With Stella overseeing everything, Sara believed in everyone.
After Schnee turned her eyes toward two bosses shortening the distance, her face became expressionless, and her eyes became dull, "It's no fun with monsters. They won't give me any satisfaction from bullying them."
Two bosses parted their jaws, letting out some sonic howls. Those howls swept through the forest like wind blades!
Schnee sighed and didn't move.
Those howls went through her, cutting her skin slightly, "I like a little pain. At least this much you can do."
Other than being a sadist, she was also a little masochist.
