Chapter 572: Slaying the Iceflame Serpent Man
The exploding blue ice flower sent Marcus and the Sea Demon Soul flying, both of them thrown backward with a pair of heavy thumps like rag dolls caught in a blast wave.’That had hurt.’
The Sea Demon Soul took the worst of it. It was knocked completely off its feet and slammed into the ground, leaving it unable to recover immediately.
Marcus fared only slightly better. He managed to stay standing, but the attack had still inflicted a Stun. Blackie staggered backward several steps, while that familiar dizzying spiral appeared above Marcus’s head, leaving him helpless for three full seconds.
’I really want to cry.’ That was the kind of power a Level 80 ultimate possessed. Four separate hits, 5,000 damage each, on top of those vicious debuffs. Marcus had barely managed to keep himself upright through the first assault, and now the Iceflame Black Serpent Man was already coming for him again.
"Still alive?!"
The Iceflame Black Serpent Man stared at Marcus in disbelief, its expression twisting with renewed fury. It clearly hadn’t expected him to withstand the attack. The trident in its hands spun once more, and the skill, Ice Venom World, erupted again as another ring of frost arrows exploded outward.
THUNK. The ice arrows struck Marcus one after another. A critical hit. A yellow damage number floated above his head. Then his HP dropped to zero. Marcus died. The serpent had killed him.
Below them, the five Royal Sorcerers and the two Sea Demon Souls were all already under 10,000 HP. Seeing Marcus collapse, the Iceflame Black Serpent Man released two triumphant hisses before turning toward the remaining enemies, apparently intending to finish them off and claim the victory.
Then the system prompt appeared.
Ding!
[Stonehaven, you have been killed by a monster. The Ring of Resurrection has revived you. All stats have been restored to full. You are in an invulnerable state for the first three seconds.]
Golden light flared around Marcus. A moment later, he was standing again, his HP and stats completely restored, his body surrounded by a shimmering golden barrier that rendered him temporarily invulnerable.
Marcus stared at the serpent, then he summoned Pebble.
"Alright, you bastard. Die."
He drew the Twin-Winged Ice Owl Bow and nocked one of the Mythic Blazing Explosive Arrows he had retrieved earlier. Beside him, Pebble did the same, and the two of them raised their bows together. This time, Marcus wasn’t panicking. He knew exactly what he had to do.
"Blazing Explosive Arrow!"
The two arrows shot forward at the same time, trailing violent waves of fire energy as they tore through the air.
The Iceflame Black Serpent Man had no idea Marcus could resurrect. Its attention was still fixed on the Royal Sorcerers and Sea Demon Souls below, which it was steadily wearing down. It unleashed Ice Venom World once more, the storm of frost arrows sweeping across the battlefield and finally wiping out the five sorcerers and the two Sea Demon Souls.
