Chapter 1037: Chapter 783: Hmm, My Head Is Starting to Spin
"————"
In the courtyard with only a few people, the Breaker King stood there with red eyes, the black fog emanating from his body growing denser, so thick that it could cover the surrounding area.
After this black fog spewed out, the negative energy and evil aura emitted by the Breaker King further intensified, causing Ais’s expression to become grave.
From the current Breaker King, Ais actually felt a slight threat.
Adding to the fact that they were just forced back by the Breaker King head-on, not just Ais, even Finn and Revilia were somewhat surprised.
"...This isn’t just Lv.5, is it?"
Revilia couldn’t help but utter this sentence.
Finn felt the same way.
The Breaker King just now could be ignored, but the power and overwhelming presence displayed by the current Breaker King was not something a Lv.5 could possess.
This was to be expected.
"Although the Breaker King itself only amounts to Lv.5, it possesses an exceptionally excellent special ability."
Reiger saw the crowd somewhat astonished, and then slightly smiled, providing an explanation.
"Its attacks carry negative energy, and if engaging in close combat with an enemy and wounding them, it would affect the enemy’s life force, causing them to lose more stamina and even life energy."
"Its attacks also carry mental attributes, and if proper defenses aren’t in place, the enemy might fall into confusion or a state of mental weakness."
"Ais wasn’t affected probably because her developed ability of ’Abnormal Resistance’ countered these two types of attacks, right?"
Of course, this isn’t why the Breaker King was able to force back Ais and make her feel threatened.
"The true precious special ability of the Breaker King is a skill known as [Night of Annihilation]."
"Once this skill is activated, black fog will spew from the Breaker King, enhancing all combat-related abilities."
"The more black fog that is emitted, the higher the augmentation of combat abilities."
"And if within the range of the black fog, even if the opponent’s level is higher than the Breaker King, the damage dealt to the Breaker King will be reduced, and it can mitigate the harm from all forms of attacks that are especially lethal to creatures like it (the undead), such as light, fire, and holy attacks."
"The drawback is once this special ability is activated, the Breaker King’s life points would start to automatically decrease. The more black fog that’s emitted, the faster the life points decrease, until they deplete completely, causing it to disappear."
With Reiger’s explanation, Ais and the others finally understood why the Breaker King suddenly became stronger.
It was because of this special ability, [Night of Annihilation].
After activating this special ability, the Breaker King was enhanced from Lv.5 to Lv.6.
Though the consequence was the rapid depletion of life points, at least before they were exhausted, the Breaker King could rival a Lv.6; if not holding back, it could momentarily pose a threat even to Lv.7.
This is why Reiger considered the Breaker King, as a summoned entity, especially outstanding.
With proper utilization, this could be a monster capable of briefly bursting out shocking strength, posing a threat even to opponents above Lv.6, and possibly succeeding in a cross-level challenge.
"[Negative Burst]."
Reiger noticed the Breaker King’s life points seemed to be depleting quickly as it had been slashed by Ais, with black vapor sizzling from its wound, and immediately activated negative magic.
The negative energy from this magic is like poison to living beings, but for the undead, it’s the ultimate nourishment.
Thus, the dense black light released by Reiger was instantly absorbed by the Breaker King, not only restoring its life points but also causing its wound to heal at a visibly rapid pace.
Witnessing this scene, Ais and the others’ gazes intensified once more.
This situation informed Ais and the others that as long as Reiger was nearby to activate negative magic on the Breaker King, its life points and damage would be replenished.
Consequently, even if the Breaker King activated its special ability and entered a state of explosive combat enhancement, it could continue fighting without disappearing.
This couldn’t be compared to a mere Lv.5 level of combat strength, could it?
"Alright then." Finn’s eyes were already lit up, saying, "Though its appearance is nothing to write home about, such combat prowess is indeed outstanding and can serve as a trump card in critical moments."
"Indeed." Revilia’s complexion also brightened considerably, "If such combat strength can really be summoned continuously and in sufficient numbers, then the problem of insufficient combat power can be mitigated."
Ais silently sheathed her sword, no longer attacking the Breaker King.
However, the blonde girl still posed a question to Reiger.
"Can you summon others?"
Reiger never mentioned that he could only summon the Breaker King type of creature.
"Of course."
Reiger also gave a positive response.
Besides the excellent summoning entities like the Breaker King, there are actually several kinds.
For instance, the Hell Three-headed Dog that both Reiger and Shalltear summoned, all its attacks can add fire damage, and it is completely immune to fire and poison, making it a large, high-level magical beast with exceptionally strong combat capabilities.
There’s also the Death Knight summoned by Shalltear, capable of launching attacks with instant death effects on the enemy, and once the instant death effect triggers, the enemy will fall dead on the spot, extremely terrifying.
Furthermore, even among low-level summoned entities, some are extremely fearsome.
For example, there’s a creature called the Soul-devouring Demon, approximately at the 30-35 level as a mid-level undead, which has a special ability called [Soul Devouring] that allows it to kill nearby living beings and consume their souls, with its ability growing stronger as it devours more souls.
