"Shadow Lord
Darkness Element, Shadow Element, Sword Mastery. It is lacking compared to other Signiums of this level, but there are a few Signium Skills and they are pretty good."
Normally, Signiums from the Sixth Curtain didn't have Signium Skills, but this one had.
Ezio summoned the crown and it appeared on top of his head. His mannerism changed a little, and a dangerous air blew around him. The dagger in his hand turned even darker, and shadows started to flicker. This alone increased in mastery over two elements.
"Darkness Element?" Xiao Chen looked in disgust, "In front of me, you are not worthy to wield it." His Cloak of Darkness shone with a dangerous light, as the night started to hide his form. But at the same time, Ezio disappeared from where he was standing and a third eye appeared on Adrian's forehead. The third eye shot a beam of light and Xiao Chen, who was hiding in the darkness reappeared.
Ezio, who has disappeared, phased back in front of Prince Consort and swung his dagger. He was expecting to injure him, but a barrier appeared to stop the attack. Ezio looked at the armor Xiao Chen was wearing under his tunic, and squinted. The armor had inscriptions and they looked high-level.
"This armor was sent by my mother. It is worth more than this Kingdom. Let's see if you can injure me at all." He said with a smile as he attacked with the giant sword in his hand. Flames bend around the sword, and phoenix Signium flared. The heat was unbearable. But in the second, lightning was added to the mix. It was the special lightning of the Purple King. It was devastating.
Ezio took a step back and donned the wings. He also activated Signium Skill: Star Chaser. His speed tripled as he started to phase in and out around Xiao Chen, who was trying to swing his big-ass sword. Because of his style, he wasn't as quick as Ezio, thus failing to counterattack in time. It was like a mouse battling with a lion. If Lion could land a hit, the mouse would either die or get heavily injured, but the mouse was too fast for it.
Adrian was a great help. He could use different elements and had plenty of ranged attacks to distract Prince Consort. Although he was lacking high quality spells, Yontu taught him some simple spells that Ezio got from the shop.
But nothing seemed to work. The armor he was wearing could defend against all the attacks, no matter how hard Ezio and Adrian tried. Although his dagger was Marquis-Tier, the armor was probably much higher ranked. This was the power of money.
"You are just frogs. You think you have seen the sky, but you have seen nothing!" Xiao Chen shouted as he pulled out two talismans. His mana flared and two talismans flew in their direction.
Adrian raised both his arms and two shields of darkness appeared in front of him. The talisman was definitely high tier, so he summoned a talisman of his own and used it too. Ezio just stared at the talisman in shock. When the talisman hit him in the head, Xiao Chen smiled brightly, followed by two sets of explosions.
Adrian's shields crumbled one after another. The talisman was too strong and shields weren't strong enough to stop them. He was sent back flying with a mouthful of blood in his throat. This was what made those little papers dangerous. Although Xiao Chen normally couldn't produce this kind of firepower, with the help of money, he could purchase these. Although they were using up lots of Essence, thus he was using Mana instead of Qi to activate the talismans, they were still stronger than any attack he could produce on his own."
Ezio's situation was worse, or at least should have been. When Xiao Chen looked over, he was surprised to see a shadowy figure on the ground. Its head was severed from its body, and one of its arms was nowhere to be seen, but it was obvious that the creature was not Ezio.
"Looking for me?" Ezio said from behind Xiao Chen. Before the latter could do anything, he stabbed the sword in his hand with his full force. The shadow on the ground was a Signium Skill: Shadow Clone. Normally Signiums in the Sixth Curtain didn't have Skills, and they would start in the 7th Tier once again, but this one had. Maybe because it was a humanoid Signium, it came with its sets of skills. After all, element-wise, it was unsatisfactory.
The sword in his hand was the Signium's, and it was equal to King-Grade. After all, his Signium was from the Sixth Curtain. Ezio knew he only had ten minutes, he had to make the best use of it. Luckily, the sword was packing a punch, as it tore open the barrier, and drew the first blood.
"Argh! What is that!" Xiao Chen took a step back as he looked at the Crown and Sword on Ezio. Adrian didn't give him the time to think, as he attacked from behind. Since the shield was broken, the only thing stopping them was the armor. Adrian knew his weapon wouldn't do anything to armor, so aimed for the spot where Ezio penetrated.
Dark Flames danced on his sword and attacked the bleeding wound but instead of doing damage, it cauterized the wound.
"You have to be on my side," Ezio said as he shook his head.
"Sorry, I thought I could burn his insides," Adrian admitted his fault, as he jumped back. "He has too many things, how are we going to beat him?"
"We're gonna Slim the Whale." This was a term Ezio coined. The Whale meant rich, and slimming meant making them use their expensive items so, they couldn't fight back.
"How are we going to do that, we're gonna run out of Qi and Mana first," Adrian complained.
"Too bad the monsters are outside of the formation, or we could tag with them. Just attack for now." Ezio said as he approached once again. Xiao Chen was more careful and didn't let him approach from behind. He also didn't use talismans anymore, since Ezio could escape from them with his fancy technique.
"Stupid Signium." He huffed as he pulled out an orb. "This poison is so potent."
"Are you gonna threaten us that all of us will die if you use it?" Ezio asked with a smirk.
"Yes." Xiao Chen was surprised but admitted. "Don't make me use it. Let's return to the palace, and I will forgive you."
"Use it," Ezio said.
"What?" Xiao Chen looked mortified.
"I said use it!" Ezio said and attacked once more. He purposely aimed at the orb, and after three attacks, he managed to crack the orb. It exploded and a green fog started to fill the air. Because of the barrier, the poison fog didn't dissipate but stood in the round space.
"Do you remember the banquet at Zeus's Fury Sect?" Ezio asked as he looked at the poison.
"What of it?" Xiao Chen looked at the poison and asked.
"You tried to poison me," Ezio smirked. "I noticed it immediately and produced an antidote. Actually, I knew you would use poison so I gave an antidote to Adrian as well. So tell me, do you have the antidote or are you stupid enough to carry poison with no antidote?"
