Chapter 297 297 It's not affecting it
"When they're occupied, we make a run for it. Nexus, keep an eye on their movements."
The combat was fierce, with the assassins displaying incredible prowess in battling the unique creatures of the forest.
The assassin who manipulated the natural elements conjured gusts of wind and torrents of water, attempting to fend off the Wireworms. His movements were fluid, a dance with the forces of nature.
Meanwhile, the stealthy assassin skillfully dodged the attacks, blending into the shadows and reappearing with swift, precise strikes. His eyes scanned the area, seeking vulnerabilities in the luminous bodies of the Wireworms.
As the battle raged on, Nexus observed the wireworms engaging the assassins. He saw an opportunity amidst the chaos and decided it was time to make their move.
"Follow me," Nexus whispered to the women, leading them away from the hiding spot. The forest provided cover, and the dazzling display of the Wireworms' battle with the assassins created the distraction they needed.
They moved quietly trying to go as far away as possible.
However, the strongest assassin, a daunting figure with a cold demeanor, observed the prolonged battle with growing impatience. He tightened his grip on the hilt of his formidable sword, the anticipation of catching up to their quarry evident in his piercing gaze.
"We need to catch up with them fast," he declared, his voice cutting through the chaos of the battlefield. The other assassins nodded in agreement, understanding the urgency of the situation. The Wireworms, despite their relentless attacks, seemed to be delaying the pursuit.
With a decisive nod, the imposing assassin decided to escalate the confrontation. He stepped forward, creating a brief distance between himself and his companions. The air around him crackled with an impending surge of power.
He raised his sword high, and his voice resonated through the dense forest as he began to chant.
"Mana from within, breed forth giant that destroy!" His incantations reverberated, a potent invocation that echoed through the trees.
The ambient sounds of battle momentarily hushed as his chants grew louder and clearer, commanding the very essence of mana to heed his call.
The forest responded to his invocation, the magical energy swirling around him. The air shimmered with an otherworldly glow an hefty mana giant began to take form. Its ethereal body materialized, colossal and imposing, a testament to the assassin's command over mystical forces.
He kept chanting, the words vibrating in the air, resonating with the unseen energies of the forest. The giant, responding to the powerful summons, took shape with each passing moment. The towering being, surrounded by an aura of raw magical power, began to move.
Its movement was deliberate, as if bound by the will of the assassin who had brought it into existence. Blinded by its own formidable power, the mana giant marched forward with purpose.
The luminous glow emanating from its colossal forms illuminated the surroundings, casting an eerie light on the forest.n)(o(-v--e-.L)/b)(I//n
As it approached the Wireworms, the chaotic dance of battle took on a new dimension. The giant, towering over the creatures, extended its colossal hands.
With a sheer display of magical might, it grasped the Wireworms, each movement tearing the luminescent beings into pieces like mere rags.
As Nexus and the women pressed forward, the thunderous thuds of the giants echoed behind them, prompting an involuntary halt in their tracks.
The entire group turned, their eyes widening with a mix of awe and terror as the colossal mana giant continued its relentless pursuit, tearing the once-formidable Wireworms into minuscule shreds.
Nexus, his disbelief evident in his wide-eyed expression, muttered in amazement, "How is this possible?" Each movement of the giant sent shockwaves through him, disrupting the very foundation of his understanding of the magical forces at play.
"They'll catch up to us!" Nora's voice trembled with fear, her body quivering as she comprehended the imminent threat.
"Relax, Nora," Madeline reassured, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "We'll get out of this."
Crystal, her eyes fixed on the approaching giants, called out urgently, "Nexus, we need to do something!"
Nexus, still grappling with the surreal scene unfolding before him, was snapped out of his stupor by Crystal's insistence. The giant, with each colossal stride, closed the distance, causing the forest to tremble and the birds to flee in fear.
"Nexus!" Crystal called once more, tugging on his robe. Her eyes locked onto his, seeking guidance and a plan of action.
"Attack them!" the lead assassin commanded, his voice cutting through the tumultuous atmosphere as he urged the giant forward.
Stuck in a fixed spot, Nexus surveyed the escalating danger. Crystal's repeated pleas and the looming threat forced him into action.
"Master!" Crystal shouted, her voice echoing with determination. Nexus met her gaze.
A slight nod from Nexus signaled Crystal to unleash the dormant power within her.
With a surge of determination, Crystal tapped into her latent potential, drawing upon the energy Nexus had left inside her. The transformation was immediate.
Crystal's form became a manifestation of death itself, her entire body overflowing with pitch-black mana. Her eyes glowed with an intensity that matched the dark energy coursing through her veins. A formidable aura surrounded her, announcing the unleashing of a power that surpassed her previous limits.
With newfound strength, Crystal surged forward, propelled by the unholy energy now coursing through her. The forest seemed to darken in response to her overwhelming power. She approached the towering red mana giant with unwavering determination.
As she neared the colossal adversary, Crystal swung her fist with incredible force.
The impact sent shockwaves through the giant's form, creating visible ripples in the air. The mana giant, caught off guard by the sudden assault, staggered backward, its once-confident stride disrupted.
"Go on, Crystal!" Monica's voice resonated through the tension-filled air as Crystal unleashed a barrage of pouches, each striking the mana giant with incredible force. The forest echoed with the thuds of her relentless assault, an attempt to break through the seemingly invincible foe.
Crystal's body exhibited an extraordinary elasticity, resembling rubber glue. With her extensibility power, she could manipulate her limbs to any length, a feature she exploited to the fullest. Her arms stretched and contracted like rubber bands, delivering blows upon blows to the mana giants.
"Yes, Crystal!" Nexus encouraged, his voice cutting through the chaos as he tried to maintain composure and keep the rest of the women settled. The situation was tense, and Crystal's efforts were their only defense against the relentless giants.
Crystal's fists maintained an impressive momentum, hitting the York Killer's red mana giant like rapid-fire bullets. She poured all her energy into the relentless assault, her hands moving so swiftly they seemed to blur in the air.
However, despite Crystal's strength and relentless effort, the red mana giant remained seemingly unharmed, merely staggering with minimal movement. Frustration and concern etched across Crystal's face as she continued her assault.
"It's not affecting it!" Crystal shouted to Nexus, her frustration evident. "I can't keep this up for long."
Before she could complete her sentence, the giant casually swung its colossal hand, striking Crystal with a force that sent her soaring through the air. Crystal's body tumbled across the forest, landing at a considerable distance, gasping and coughing from the impact of the powerful blow.
