Chapter 770 Big Words From A Loser.

The summoned Phantom Viper can utilize all the abilities that the paragons used. Salvos's divine ability didn't work on the defense paragon so it won't work on this phantom. That doesn't mean that Salvos is weak. He would have been able to fight the other paragons and kill them, especially the speedsters and the spell tower but the brutes and defense paragon would have shrugged off his attack. 

"Is that really a good idea to leave them to attack it," Salvos asked. "It seems very dangerous."

Soverick shrugged. "We can afford to play around a little. The child of the plane has not changed anything. We are still killing the Vipers. They have only gotten a fighting chance. We will still win when it has been weakened enough. So let them play."

The child of the plane is not really here. It is just a phantom with a portion of the strength of the child of the plane. The child of the plane is not supposed to be here so it is being anchored here with the available connections present in the arena. It will disappear when all of its connections here have been cut off. 

That's why it created that barrier to protect the Vipers by its side from death. It needs them to be here. Its presence has only granted the Vipers an immortal paragon that is also capable of attacking since all of their strong attackers have died.

The two of them watched Salvin and Ghaster attack the child of the plane. It stepped out from among the Vipers to fight them. It also kept a barrier in front of the Vipers to protect them. It is actively protecting the remaining Vipers and it is also fighting Ghaster and fending off the thousands of phantom weapons.

Salvin and Ghaster attacked with everything that they have but their combined effort is not enough to defeat it. It could create barriers to protect itself from the phantom weapons. The barriers are very thick and are as multilayered as the barrier of the spell tower. But it didn't need to do that. 

Its numerous arms moved as fast as a speedster's and are strong as brutes such that they destroyed the phantom weapons with a single hit. The ones that couldn't be destroyed can't get past the defense of his body either. It also used tens of spell matrixes to distract and hamper Ghaster.

If not for the child of the plane having to do a lot at once then it would have eliminated Ghaster already. Even then Ghaster is struggling. His speed is not doing him any favors right now. He is barely managing to keep up with the phantom Viper and all his effort is spent on evading the spells. He has not been able to land a single attack with the heavy-looking hammer he is carrying about. 

Ghaster grew frustrated the longer the fight went without him making any useful hits. He took a risk to get near the phantom. He thought he dodged a spell successfully as he approached from behind the phantom Vipers, but he didn't see the tail that lashed out and whipped him. 

His instincts saved him at the last moment. He is not familiar with fighting with a Viper but his bloodline is so he managed to dodge the tail. But he couldn't dodge the backhand that the phantom viper sent his way. He was slammed away with a single smack. The arm was too fast to dodge and also too strong to block.

The phantom Viper capitalized on the weakness of his situation. It turned most of its attention towards Ghaster's flying figure and punched out at him with two of its hands. Ghaster would have been turned into pulp were it not for Salvin's timely interference. 

The phantom weapons increased their attacks on the barrier protecting the Vipers and sought to capitalize on the phantom's distraction. The phantom Viper had to divert more of its connection from speed and strength boosts to maintain the barrier. Even then, one of the fists of the phantom Viper struck Ghaster in the head and catapulted him across the sky. He landed face-first on the ground. He stood back up groggily and hefted his lightning hammer despite the dent in the side of his head.

He yelled at the phantom, "You will pay for that."I think you should take a look at

Then he rushed back to the fight. Soverick and Salvos entertained themselves with the fight. Their serene observation was disturbed when Salvini arrived. 

She rushed towards them shouting, "Give him to me."

"Can I fight him too?" She asked when she got to them.

"It is all yours," Soverick told her.

"Yippee." She exclaimed in joy and joined the fight.

The tune of the fight changed immediately. The fight turned from the harmless harassing of the phantom Viper into a bothersome harassing. They are still outmatched by the phantom Viper but now they are bothering it. It has 10 arms but that isn't enough anymore to easily fend off its assailants.

"Will you not come and fight me yourself? Are you so cowardly?" The phantom Viper bellowed at him.

"Come at me then." Soverick beckoned to him with his hands.

He has all the time in the world. It is the phantom Viper that is desperate. If it is so desperate, then he should come and fight him. As for him, he will not go and fight a needless fight no matter how many taunts are thrown his way. It is especially so since he can't end the fight at once. He still remembers clearly what happened to him the last time he used WORLD BREAKER on a brute. He is not going to repeat that now.

He is not particularly interested in having another brawl with what is essentially a super brute. The normal brutes were already tough to deal with. So he won't let himself be talked into a fight. 

It spat angrily at him. "Coward."

Soverick rolled his eyes. "Pretty big words from a loser." He mocked.
