The Primal Hunter
Chapter 722
Jake could admit when he was wrong. Sometimes, at least. This was one of those times.
Witches aren’t fun to fight.
Dark tendrils lined the walls, all of them semi-ethereal as they sought not to physically attack people but leave them with some odd dark affliction that wasn’t a curse but seemed a lot like a curse. This particular affliction did damage and fucked with your senses, throwing them for a loop. Jake could definitely feel the roots of the magic in the dark affinity, but outside of that, he had no idea what he was dealing with.
“Hexes, try to avoid them. They are difficult to dispel,” Dina warned after Sylphie was hit and proceeded to smash into a wall as she became unable to tell up from down.
Okay, so they were dealing with hexes. Great.
Jake tried to claim the upper hand right off the bat when the fight had begun and activated Arcane Awakening at the stable 30%. The Sword Saint and Fallen King had also joined him – with Sylphie trying but getting hit by another few tendrils.
The first barrage of arrows released from Jake got blocked by a black disc of pure energy that popped into existence not close to the witch, but only five or so meters in front of Jake, making him nearly blow himself up if he hadn’t reacted fast enough to make all the arrows stable.
It wasn’t like the old man or Fallen King did much better. Rainclouds began to condense all around the room, but dark magic instantly influenced them, and the rainclouds became clouds of black smoke that flew toward the swordsman and encircled him.
Out of all of them, the Fallen King did have the greatest success as he released a golden wave of force that the Dark Witch seemingly couldn’t do much to influence. Yet the moment it was about to strike, the witch seemed to just disappear into nothingness, leaving nothing more than a pile of black smudge behind that absorbed the Fallen King’s golden wave.
Within the first ten seconds, it was established this fight would be annoying, and in the following minute, it was made extremely clear it would be very annoying. They were caught within the domain of a witch, one she had spent more than a century in. And it showed as their party found themselves bombarded by magic from all sides. Magic of varying kinds, from simple black bolts to odd hexes that did nothing but try and mess with you in some way. The Sword Saint even ended up getting hit by one that just made everything smell like absolute shit.
However, it wasn’t all bad.
“She is running out of energy or at least spells,” Dina said through their Golden Mark. “Look, the runes on the wall are fading with every second.”
“And her mind clearly isn’t all there,” the Sword Saint added.
Jake had to agree. The spellcasting was complicated due to its inherent nature, and yet it felt sloppy and clearly not performed by someone with a plan. Usually, the most annoying opponent was someone who could string attacks together and claim momentum. This Dark Witch just threw everything and the kitchen sink at them, hoping something would hit them in the head. What was kind of weird was how her focus obviously shifted from Jake, Sylphie, and the Fallen King throughout the fight, instead focusing nearly all of her offensive magic on the Sword Saint and Dina.
This did confuse them initially until Jake realized why.
“You two are the only ones affected by the Karmic Plague.”
Sylphie and the Fallen King were considered monsters and thus immune, while Jake had Palate of the Malefic Viper, which he had already used to remove any semblance of the plague from his body.
“Great, good to know,” the Sword Saint grumbled as he found himself surrounded by odd eye-shaped objects that didn’t look like they were doing anything except just staring at him menacingly.
The old man sent out an omnidirectional cut, making everything warp around him as he pushed away the eyes, only to find several of them appearing again, this time covering his sword and robe, freaking him out a little. Dina cast some spell on him that made the eyes instantly disappear, but this only seemed to pull the attention on her.
Sylphie and the Fallen King tried to do something to the Dark Witch, but she was seemingly impossible to lock down. To make matters worse, the dark aura in the room wasn’t just there to limit visibility and enhance her own magic. Jake had activated Arcane Awakening at 30%, yet he felt himself dropping in power ever-so-slowly, down to a level where it felt like the boost was only at 20% now.
