Chapter 327 A Moment of Glory
Nebulae Tiger roared furiously, sending out shockwaves that dispersed the smoke and dust from the explosion, with the roar echoing throughout Stream Town.
It sent chills down everyone's spine.
This was the might of a high-level Overlord Grade Phantom Beast; a single roar could shake one's soul.
However, Nebulae Tiger's roar was not just to intimidate the enemy, but more for its own master.
CelestialParagon was now surrounded by a layer of bright red mist.
This move was a unique skill of Phantom Beasts called the Life Barrier, which could form a protective shield around the master to prevent them from being easily taken down.
After all, a summoned beast is still a summoned beast. If the summoner dies, the summoned beast will also vanish, so summoned beasts have skills to protect their masters.
CelestialParagon glanced at the effect of the Life Barrier and immediately smiled broadly.
The Life Barrier could absorb 20,000 points of damage. Even if the enemy got close, breaking this 20,000-point shield would take a lot of effort. Moreover, his own combat power was very high, and the opponent would probably be dead before they could deplete the 20,000 points of damage.
CelestialParagon had been worried about what to do if Eric directly attacked him, but now his only concern was gone.
"Black Flame, your time has come!" CelestialParagon began to command Nebulae Tiger to attack Eric.
The biggest difference between a summoned beast and a wild monster is the player's control. With player control, a wild monster that is already strong becomes even more difficult to deal with, not to mention a high-level Overlord with many skills, which can easily kill players.
The 10-foot-tall Nebulae Tiger lightly leaped, covering a distance of more than ten yards in an instant.
"So fast!" Eric was shocked.
Nebulae Tiger's claws then struck towards Eric's body. Although Eric tried to dodge, he was a bit slow and got hit.
However, Nebulae Tiger's strike did not cause any damage to Eric, as it was completely blocked by Swordsoar Ascension.
But Nebulae Tiger did not stop after one failed strike and immediately swung its claws again.
After a series of strikes, Eric's Swordsoar Ascension was quickly broken.
Seeing Nebulae Tiger's fatal claw attack coming, Eric finally used Parry to block it.
But there was no suspense; a high-level Overlord at level 30 was incredibly powerful, and Eric, who wasn't even a first-tier professional, couldn't possibly withstand it. As a result, he was sent flying like a cannonball.
"No wonder you're the famous master Black Flame, you managed to block that." CelestialParagon, watching from the side, couldn't help but applaud.
CelestialParagon was not mocking Eric but genuinely praising him.
He believed that under Nebulae Tiger's attack, he would not have been able to react in time and would have been killed instantly, but Eric managed to block it.
However, the price Eric paid was heavy. After being sent flying, he landed unsteadily and had no strength left to dodge or block Nebulae Tiger's next attack.
The huge gap in attributes couldn't be bridged by combat skills alone.
Previously, Eric had used brute force to crush his opponents, leaving CelestialParagon speechless. Now, Eric faced the same problem, and it was already impressive that he had survived this long.
As Nebulae Tiger pounced to finish Eric off, a figure suddenly rushed over from a distance, blocking Nebulae Tiger's claw strike and saving Eric.
This left CelestialParagon stunned for a long time because the figure's speed was so fast that he couldn't even see it clearly before it appeared in front of Eric and blocked Nebulae Tiger's full-force strike, which was simply unbelievable.
Eric got up and looked at the tall figure standing proudly in front of him, smiling slightly, "Just in time."
The one who blocked Nebulae Tiger was none other than Eric's personal guard, Kyle.
As an Obsidian Level personal guard and a first-tier Swordsman at level 30, he was naturally not comparable to players.
Originally, Eric didn't want to use Kyle, but since CelestialParagon had used a summoned beast, not using Kyle would be suicidal.
"So it's an NPC guard. No wonder it's so strong, able to block Nebulae Tiger's attack. But do you think a level 30 first-tier Swordsman can defeat a high-level Overlord Nebulae Tiger?" CelestialParagon said disdainfully.
He had used a summoned beast, so he wouldn't say anything about Eric using an NPC guard, but he had enough confidence in Nebulae Tiger. Even at the same level 30, Nebulae Tiger was much stronger than a first-tier professional. Eric's move was just delaying his inevitable defeat.
"I admit Kyle can't defeat Nebulae Tiger, but he can hold it off for a while. Let's see if I kill you first or if Nebulae Tiger kills Kyle first." Eric smiled slightly and charged towards CelestialParagon.
Kyle, being a first-tier NPC, might not be able to defeat a high-level Overlord Nebulae Tiger, but he could certainly hold it off for a while. Otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy of being called an Obsidian Level personal guard.
Although Nebulae Tiger chased after Eric, Kyle used his skills to hold it off, making it impossible for Nebulae Tiger to catch up to Eric, who was extremely frustrated.
In no time, Eric quickly reached CelestialParagon.
"Take down that guard first." CelestialParagon knew that with Kyle around, Nebulae Tiger couldn't do anything to Eric, so he ordered to take down Kyle first.
CelestialParagon himself had a Life Barrier that could withstand 20,000 points of damage. He didn't believe Eric could do anything to him in that short time, and since he wasn't engaging directly, it would be even harder for Eric to kill him.
After giving the order, CelestialParagon turned and ran, not giving Eric any chance.
CelestialParagon knew that even if Nebulae Tiger didn't kill Eric, as long as he escaped into the town and hid, Eric would still lose.
With Nebulae Tiger changing its target, Kyle's health began to drop.
After all, Nebulae Tiger was a high-level Overlord, with terrifying attack and speed. Even Kyle couldn't always block its attacks, losing nearly three thousand health points with each hit. Kyle only had about eighteen thousand health points, so he couldn't withstand many hits.
However, Kyle was not an ordinary guard. With a single Great Cross Slash, he took nearly ten thousand health points from Nebulae Tiger. He continuously used skills like Frozen Chop and Zephyr Stride, reducing Nebulae Tiger's speed while increasing his own, making it harder for Nebulae Tiger to hit him.
When Nebulae Tiger used Sky Splitting Claw, Kyle countered with the Swordsman's first-tier skill Roundhouse Triple Strike, which provided 1.5 seconds of invincibility and dealt three hits to the enemy, recovering 60% of the damage dealt. However, it had a cooldown of one minute.
Kyle's sword strikes dealt over two thousand damage, quickly replenishing his lost health.
CelestialParagon was stunned by this scene. He hadn't expected Kyle to be so strong, able to match Nebulae Tiger. If Nebulae Tiger didn't have 1.8 million health points, CelestialParagon might have believed Kyle could defeat it.
Seeing this, CelestialParagon knew that Nebulae Tiger couldn't kill Kyle in a short time. His only option was to escape into Stream Town.
But Eric didn't give CelestialParagon any chance. When he was just a few yards away, he used Abyssal Bind.
CelestialParagon, realizing the danger, decisively used Vanishing Strike, making Abyssal Bind miss its target and entering a strong stealth state for 3 seconds, even re-entering stealth if damaged.
Eric smiled and immediately used Earthshatter Strike, sending a sword energy towards where CelestialParagon had disappeared, revealing him for a moment. Eric seized the opportunity to pinpoint CelestialParagon's location.
With a spatial move, Eric appeared directly above CelestialParagon.
Inferno Thunderstorm!
A thunderous firestorm descended from the sky, landing right on CelestialParagon's head.
CelestialParagon reacted quickly, leaping and using Shadow Cloak, which made him immune to the damage and stun effects of Inferno Thunderstorm, and he sped away.
Eric was slightly surprised, not expecting CelestialParagon to have a skill like Shadow Cloak, which explained his confidence in escaping.
Shadow Cloak made the user immune to all magical damage and control effects for 5 seconds, making it an excellent escape skill.
However, Eric immediately transformed the Ring of Void into the Ring of Fire, increasing damage by 30% and reducing the target's defense by 30%, then used Flame Storm on CelestialParagon's last known location.
Flame Storm lasted for 5 seconds and covered a 10x10 yard area.
Although it couldn't damage CelestialParagon, it exposed his stealth.
Sure enough, under Flame Storm, CelestialParagon's figure was revealed again. Within the Flame Storm's area, CelestialParagon couldn't re-enter stealth.
Eric took a step forward, charging towards CelestialParagon, and activated Infernal Fury, significantly boosting his damage and attack speed.
He then used Pyroblast Burst on the fleeing Celestial Paragon.
The fiery sword, like the sun, struck six times in succession, each hit landing on the Life Barrier.
Each of Eric's strikes dealt over four thousand damage, with a critical hit dealing nearly nine thousand damage.
The 20,000 damage absorption of the Life Barrier was shredded like paper under Pyroblast Burst, and Eric's attack hit CelestialParagon's back. The durability of CelestialParagon's Mithril Level equipment dropped significantly, and his two thousand plus health points were instantly reduced to zero, causing CelestialParagon to fall to the ground, his weapons and equipment scattering.
Although it seemed slow, it all happened in an instant, at a breathtaking speed.
The members of Aether Wing watching from afar were left speechless, unable to find words to describe their feelings.
It turned out that player battles in Divine Realms: Legends could be so terrifying.
It was completely thrilling and overwhelming.
From the appearance of the red light pillar to the end of the battle, it was only a matter of seconds. First, a high-level Overlord fought a first-tier NPC Swordsman, followed by a chase. The two figures, one fleeing and one pursuing, left afterimages, with lightning and fire erupting during the fight, making it hard to keep up. The speed of the combatants' reactions was unimaginable. As a sun-like light disappeared, one person lay on the ground, dropping a pile of weapons and equipment.
Meanwhile, the battle between Nebulae Tiger and Kyle also came to a halt. Without CelestialParagon, Nebulae Tiger turned into starlight and vanished, leaving Kyle standing alone. He had numerous wounds, and the surrounding environment was devastated, with craters and cracks everywhere, resembling an apocalypse, indicating the intensity of the previous battle.
