Hero of Darkness Chapter 647: Hades Armor

Chapter 647: Hades Armor

Another member of the hero's party fell in battle against the newly arrived saints who seemed to be having ample battle experience as they effectively took down their respective opponents. It hadn't even been an hour since they showed up but already 3 members of their party were killed.

"No!! Mikaela!!" shouted a succubus enchantress in grief as she saw the closest member who battled 10 kilometers away from her location getting killed by an a.s.sa.s.sin from the enemy group.

BOOM!!

However, before she could react, red pentagram-shaped archaic magic formations appeared 2 kilometers high in the air and quickly created a 10 kilometers wide isolation barrier, completely sealing off any areas to exit and also suppressing this Enchantress' body to a small degree.

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" exclaimed Edna, a 2nd stage saint Enchantress from the Hero's Party who was also the heiress of her clan.

As for the origin of this isolation barrier… it was cast by the only subordinate who excelled in using magic aka Ceril, the Necromancer.

Edna was an Enchantress… this cla.s.s excelled in using magic formations to perform different purposes. Whether it was attacking, defending or enhancing a team member's attacks and damage output… Enchanter cla.s.s was a perfect support cla.s.s for a team as they could not only use various spells and skills of their own but also aid their teammates from time to time.

Compared to a normal magician, they were hard to come by because their cla.s.s needed excellent control of mana and in-depth knowledge of magic formations that couldn't be messed up while casting them.

Even someone like Ceril excelled in using 6 different elements but his knowledge was subpar compared to Edna because he also had another hidden cla.s.s and never felt the need to dig deep. The only magic formations he was proficient in using were isolation, invisibility and suppression formations that he often used to create a barrier just like the one he cast just now.

Edna on the other end was infuriated to see her friend who was the closest to her among all the party members die so horrifically. Yet instead of avenging her, she is dragged into a fight by this 1st stage saint magician in white and purple robes who wore gla.s.ses and had a blue scepter.

Meanwhile, Ceril was looking at his own stats at this moment, paying no heed to the curses of the succubus whose bosoms were half exposed.

Note : The subordinate must be in his true form to use all 3 of these gifts.] reported the system.

[Good, good. Soon I'll become comparable to a 2nd stage saint.] he spoke to himself.

"Now let's see what difference can the new gear make."

Ceril also summoned his new robes and scepter. Previously when Throk handed them their newly reforged armors and weapons from the guardian dragon's body… only he and Kahn hadn't infused their auras and elements to avoid revealing their real ident.i.ties.

Unlike the other subordinates, Ceril had no bloodline or something of that sort. He was a pure and honest undead lich… well, a variant undead lich and became a legendary rank creature through his own understanding and hard efforts, unlike the rest who were mixed with other legendary monsters and beings to cross that rank.

So he could only infuse his darkness element aura.

BOOM!!

A black pillar of darkness element under this red isolation barrier. However, no one from the outside could sense or detect this sudden burst of dark magic. Edna, the one who saw this transformation had her eyes bewildered.

Dark Magic was forbidden in their empire from the past 300 years and only undeads and monsters in the wild or inside dungeons possessed it. But somehow, there was a first stage saint who had this forbidden element a.s.sociated with his body.

Soon, the ma.s.sive black pillar faded and the grim and oppressive aura started fading.

Ceril was now donning completely pitch-black robes made from the dragon's hide.

The transformed set had a hood, chestplate, gauntlets and a waist belt as part of his armor. But even so, the defense was many times better than any other mage could possibly have in the entire Vulcan empire.

On the shoulders and chest were newly emerged small yellow skulls and one big skull appeared on his belt as well. The entire black robe and the cloak had golden outlines and patterns while exuding a layer of dark green aura around the whole robe.

[Following are the effects of the Hades Armor set :

Speak of the Devil :

Hades armor set will enhance general Ceril's mana and world energy reserves by 50% of the original stats.

All the dark magic and darkness elements attacks and spells now have additional 60% effectiveness, range and damage output.

Casting time for all the spells made from dark magic has been reduced by 35% and the activation time limit for all of them has been increased by 25%.] replied the system.

"Good. Means I can fight on equal terms with her even without transforming into my real form.

It is better this way since master ordered us all to not reveal our true forms unless absolutely necessary." he spoke regardless of the worry of his enemy flying 2 kilometers away from him.

"Hey there, exhibitionist succubus… would you like to listen to a song?" asked Ceril.

Edna was instantly riled up and responded by releasing her killing intent.

"It's called…" said Ceril and revealed an insidious smile as he revealed the melody he wanted Edna to listen to…

"Song of the Dead."
