BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1463 The Doom Knight Malefa II
"What should we do?" Creepysoo asked Peridot.
"Deal with the other enemies and make sure to not get caught up in whatever storm that guy is brewing. Even we do not want to join his fight when he is that fired up." Peridot stated.
"I thought he has changed a bit as he used his head more, but he is starting to revert back to his habits when he started walking by himself." Levin Cloud stated via a head popping out from a tree.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "Lets us go, Bone Dragon! Let us defeat the other undead!" Creepysoo commanded as he hopped on the Bone Dragon while his other undead knights dealt with the enemy undead.
Peridot also commanded her clay soldier army while Levin Cloud used some supporting spells to empower their troops. They made a conscious choice to never be in a fifty-meter radius of Adrian and the Doom Knight Malefa. They are not afraid of the Doom Knight Malefa but are afraid of the fact that they might get attacked by their own ally.

"I know that you can talk as you are an intelligent undead unlike the rest." Adrian stated.
"My words are wasted on an impure being such as yourself, but I shall humor you demon." The Doom Knight Malefa stated.
"What is a Doom Knight like yourself being a subordinate of another undead? The Dread Mansion or Dread Village is not even a ruler type of undead." Adrian asked.
"You do not need to know as you will be dead after this fight." The Doom Knight Malefa stated as she suddenly held her hand up as her great sword flew back towards her.
The Doom Knight Malefa did not waste any time as she immediately vanished from her location. The Doom Knight Malefa reappeared in front of Adrian and swung her great sword at him with a very powerful force. Adrian did not falter as he gripped his sword with both hands to parry the attack of the Doom Knight Malefa.
"Heavy!" Adrian thought as he could feel that his body is being slowly pushed back despite the fact that he is already in his true form.
The Doom Knight Malefa might not look like it, but she was surprised that the enemy before her caught her sword. In all her years of living as a mythical tier undead, she has yet to have an opponent that is her match. She would have met her match if she found the undead knights under the Undead King Arthur, but she was trapped in the Dread Village.
"I need more power. Perfect Assimilation: Sirius!" Adrian stated as a magic circle suddenly appeared below his feet.
The image of a wolf silhouette eating Adrian is seen as his form suddenly changed. The knight armor that he has is now covered with wolf like motifs as his helmet has also changed to have wolf ears. He also has this feral aura around him which made the evaluation of the Doom Knight Malefa increase.
[You have perfectly assimilated with your soulbound, Sirius.]
[Stats will be increased while in this assimilated state.]
[You have inherited the skill: Poison of God.]
[You have inherited the skill: Realm Ender.]
"Perfect! Twin Fang Form!" Adrian stated as his sword suddenly split into two.
[You have entered the Twin Fang Form.]
[Agility has been greatly increased in this form, but strength is slightly reduced.]
Adrian did not waste any precious moment as his newly found speed is even difficult for the Doom Knight Malefa to keep up with. Adrian is leaving afterimages with every step he takes and landed the first hit on the Doom Knight Malefa\'s left leg.
[You have applied a stack of Poison of God on the Doom Knight Malefa.]
[The Doom Knight Malefa has been afflicted with Aether Bane and damage has been dealt.]
Adrian kept up with the swift movements which the Doom Knight Malefa tried to stop but her weapon is not fit for defending against enemies that are fast. The Doom Knight Malefa might not have any difficulty in swinging a gigantic sword around but that does not mean she could also maneuver her body quickly while using the weapon. Adrian aimed towards the neck of his enemy, but the Doom Knight Malefa managed to predict it and blocked the attack.
Being blocked by the enemy is not a problem for Adrian though as he could just use the other sword in hand to deal damage. With a clean slash, Adrian hit the right shoulder of the Doom Knight Malefa. For the first time, Adrian saw the Doom Knight Malefa flinch as if she felt pain which undead should not be able to.
[You have applied another stack of Poison of God on the Doom Knight Malefa.]
"It seems that she can feel the damage of the Aether Bane since it is akin to holy attribute energy." Adrian thought as he continued his attacks.
If one could see the fight between Adrian and the Doom Knight Malefa then they might confuse the one who is the real evil. Adrian was swinging his sword like a lunatic, but it was not sloppy sword handling. He was also laughing like he is enjoying it whenever he gets a hit on the Doom Knight Malefa. To an unbiased eye, one might see a power drunk holy knight bullying a dark knight.
The clash between Adrian and the Doom Knight Malefa is not even limited to their area. Each one of their swings could send a powerful shockwave that can knock down any being within the area. Even the undead under the Doom Knight Malefa are making sure that they are not near her.
Adrian is slowly chipping out the health of the Doom Knight Malefa but he noticed that it is also being slowly healed. With the number of hits that Adrian has connected, the health of the Doom Knight Malefa should have been at the 85% mark already, but it was only at the 93% mark. Her health is even rising slowly but Adrian already knew the source of the regeneration.
The ten Dullahan were actively supporting the Doom Knight Malefa in their fight. The Doom Knight Malefa might not have a way to hurt Adrian, but the latter does not have a way to finish the fight quickly as well. As long as the Dullahan are alive then the Doom Knight Malefa will not fall as well. Adrian\'s allies also tried getting close to the Dullahan, but the Death Knight Archers are making sure that they are safe.
"A good tactic indeed for the current predicament that they are in." Adrian muttered but he can also do something about the Dullahan.
"Try blocking this! Soul Searing Wave!" Adrian shouted as he released two sword energy waves with his two swords.
The two energy sword waves were directly in the path of the Doom Knight Malefa but it would hit the Dullahan if she were to dodge it. Adrian made sure to pack the energy sword waves with as much aether energy as possible to make the damage greater. Even the Doom Knight Malefa could feel the dangerous energy coming from the sword waves.
The Doom Knight Malefa knew that she should not avoid the attack but defending it will not be easy as well. She knew that the only way to truly counter the attack from her enemy would be to use another force that is equal to it. The Doom Knight Malefa suddenly exploded with miasma once more, but it was not dark violet in color but dark red instead.
"Doom Slash!" The Doom Knight Malefa stated as she swung her giant sword in a 360-degree fashion, and it created a circular sword wave that clashed with Adrian\'s two sword waves.
The two energy sword waves came into contact and created a powerful explosion but the aether energy overpowered the Doom Knight Malefa\'s energy. Only one sword wave was cancelled out by the attack that the Doom Knight Malefa did, and she was directly hit by one of Adrian\'s attacks. The smoke cleared and the scene of the Doom Knight Malefa kneeling from receiving the attack could be seen.
The Dullahan immediately tried to use Pain Split to transfer health back to their leader, but they noticed that the transfer was painfully slow. As if there was something blocking them from sending health to the Doom Knight Malefa and that something is the Aether Bane. Aether Bane is different from Nether Bane which Sirius has if Adrian is in the Netheros Form.
Nether Bane deals damage and explodes in a splash when it stacks. Aether Bane deals slight damage but reduces the regeneration of enemies with more stacks. The Doom Knight Malefa already has a max stack of 10 which means she has 70% reduced healing from outside sources and 30% reduced self-regeneration.
"You are a worthy foe. I must admit but I shall not fall here." The Doom Knight Malefa stated as she started to increase her already vast amount of energy.
