Axie Online

Chapter 47 - Escape

Rudy's fight against dozens of orcs that blocked the only way out of Viredeta village did not end well, on the contrary. His stamina began to drain and exhaustion made his body tremble powerlessly.

Now not only dozens of Orcs were facing him, but also dozens of Goblins, Hobgoblins, Skeletons, Wolf, Trolls, Orcs, and several other mob monsters were surrounding Rudy from behind and the side.

There was no escape for him, there was only death and a penalty.

"Hah... Hah... This is really bad."

While catching his breath and regaining some strength, Rudy started surveying the surrounding area for a way out. Even though Viredeta was actually just a small village, the wooden walls surrounding it were five meters high which even Rudy couldn't easily jump over.

Besides that, he was currently being surrounded by dozens of monsters leveled above him. It certainly can not make him run away easily.

"Ah, I have to use that again. Since the circumstances forced it, what can I do."

“Black Form: On!”

In an instant, Rudy's figure was enveloped in a pitch-black robe and his Strength and Dexterity status points increased by 50% away. Seeing the change in the intruder, the monsters immediately attacked Rudy with enthusiasm.

Rudy forced his body and fought to serve the crowd of monsters that attacked him. This time his movements are much less and slower than before, then he relies more on the Ring of Ice he wears to give cold and freeze status to his opponents.

One by one the monsters in front of him were very easily cut by Rudy.

With increasing speed, power, and perception. Moreover, by reducing the speed of nearby enemies by using the Ring of Ice, Rudy quickly slaughtered the enemies around him.

After a while of fierce fighting, he finally managed to kill the enemies around him.

His stamina, which had been depleted due to the battle with dozens of gatekeeper orcs earlier, greatly affected his movements, so Rudy stopped in place again. Now he is leaning against a wall of a house to rest his legs for a moment and catch his breath, but Rudy realizes that he is currently cornered.

His condition, which was so tired and powerless, was no longer a character who could overcome this crowd of mob monsters alone. Not only his stamina but also his Energy has also run out to touch zero.

'Damn, how am I supposed to get out of this place when my stamina runs out... Wait a minute, didn't I buy a Vigor Potion before?'

In the midst of his despair, Rudy suddenly remembered the Vigor Potion he bought from the Axie Forum when he was making Health Potion I at the player camp. Rudy immediately took Vigor Potion I from Inventory, then drank it down to the last drop.

Right after Rudy gulped down the potion, he felt his stamina gradually recover which was accompanied by a faint purple light emanating from his body for a moment. Even though he didn't fully recover, Rudy could feel that his energy was being recharged.

Reus then took Energy Potion I from his Inventory and drank it too, causing his Energy bar to fill up again by 20%. Knowing that the Energy Potion I, he made worked well, Rudy smiled again and regained his confidence again.

"Blaze Javelin!!"

From the direction of two o'clock came a loud scream. There was a Lich, one of the mob monsters with the Undead race throwing a Magic type skill in the form of an orange-red fire spear.

Seeing that, Rudy immediately swung the Blackstar Sword and slashed the skill to eat it, but something that surprised him happened.

boom!!

"Uaarrghh!!"

An explosion was created as soon as Rudy slashed the Magic Skill. He was also thrown against the wall of the building behind him, causing a large c***k there. Due to the attack just now, his Health Bar was reduced by around 15%.

Rudy fell to the ground due to the explosion. After a few seconds, his body just hit the wall behind him.

Rudy fell not because of fatigue or pain, but confusion. What is he confused about? Of course, it just happened, so what else?

Blackstar Sword has an Ability called Magic Devour which is capable of devouring Magic-type skills, then the user can choose the magic that has been devoured to be issued again or to be converted into Energy. But for some reason, this Ability is no longer active when Rudy slashes the Blaze Javelin skill.

Rudy tried to think again, why is Magic Devour not active? Why wasn't the skill eaten by Blackstar Sword? Whereas in the previous battles in this village Magic Devour could be active without any obstacles or difficulties, how could that be?

While solving the question in his head, Rudy accidentally found something a little odd. The percentage of his Energy bar changed to more than before. This made him think again regardless of the army of monsters that were slowly approaching him.

It's true that Rudy wants to s***h the Blaze Javelin skill from the enemy, devour it and then convert it into Energy, but can't Magic Devour not eat it?

"Could it be because of my level difference with the skill user that Magic Devour wasn't able to absorb everything in an instant?"

Rudy's speculation about it was spot on. Blackstar Sword's Magic Devour was not inactive, but rather its absorption ability decreased because there was a level difference between the Blackstar Sword wielder and the Magic Skill wielder. That was why the incident just now had happened.

The difference in the level of skill users will greatly affect the damage they can make. Suppose there is a level 100 and level 10 player shooting the same skill with the same level, which one deals more damage? Of course a level 100 player, right?

That's what happened behind the decline in Magic Devour's power when dealing with Magic-type skills that were higher in level than the user.

Rudy who just realized this just smiled wryly remembering how stupid he was. Even though this world was a virtual world, there was nothing limitless in the use of the character's abilities or so-called skills.

He rose to his feet intending to fight for his life in Axie Online as much as possible and at the same time thinking about how to escape from this place.

"Attack!!"

With the call for an attack command that came from nowhere, the monsters in the village began to arrive to attack Rudy simultaneously from various directions.

Rudy who saw it all subconsciously clicked his tongue seeing his cornered state who couldn't do anything but fight against tens or even hundreds of these monsters.

Unable to think any further, Rudy finally gave in and decided to s*******r all the monsters that intended to attack him. He activated Hollow Swords, then launched the five semi-transparent blackish-purple swords to s***h all enemies within his range.

When he saw his Hollow Swords hovering to s***h down enemies within attack range, Rudy suddenly found a practical and sure way out. Although a bit crazy, but this is the only chance for him to get out of this Viredeta monster village.

"You can or don't really care, the important thing is to try first!"

Not feeling 100% sure it would work, Rudy pulled back the Hollow Swords that were created earlier and circled around his body. Two Hollow Swords were aimed at his two feet and stepped on him to stand there, while the other three continued to s***h at the monsters that tried to attack him.

After making sure he could stand on his semi-transparent sword, Rudy moved the two swords under his feet to soar up and away from the battlefield below while maintaining his balance.

The remaining three swords automatically followed Rudy from behind because they exceeded the maximum range of his attack.

"It worked? I did it!? I got it! I got away! I got away, you bastard! I got away with this crazy idea, Hahahaha!"

Realizing that the crazy idea that Rudy devised just now managed to get him to escape death and the penalty, he started laughing as loud as he could to celebrate his escape. However, Rudy, who was too happy to have escaped, forgot his own balance and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, Rudy immediately realized and immediately fixed it.

That's right, Rudy floated with the help of his Hollow Swords skill. Using this, he can leave the village of Viredeta. Another crazy idea from Rudy has opened up new possibilities in his Skill Modifier title.
