Chapter 152 - Onslaught

A bloodthirsty Bultungin in the middle, surrounded by a hulking Ragnaceros, a menacing Spiricoot, a lithe Djinncense and a savage Blitzhog. The tension was palpable as the four of us waited to see if either us or the Bultungin would make the first move...you could almost stab it.

"Kyaa"!

"Coo"!

Evidently, Albina and Savina decided to just break the stalemate themselves. The Djinncense,that I just remembered was named Indigo, let out a loud cry as she threw a cannonball of condensed air straight at the Bultungin, while Banda swung his tail lantern and released several balls of purple flames that began to dart randomly through the air.

"Hehahahahahaha"!

The Bultungin laughed at the sudden assault, as orange aether began to wrap around its legs. As the two techniques were about to hit, the hyenaman suddenly jumped into the air as the orange aether surrounding its legs dissapated.

A huge cloud of dust was kicked up as the Wind technique impacted where the Bultungin was just a moment ago. The Mystic technique did not impact the same spot as the Wind technique, but the purple balls of flame had suddenly jerked upward towards the Bultungin. Having nowhere to dodge or move in the air, the Bultungin crossed it's arms to defend itself as a manic look developed on his face. Flying in random, darting patterns, the purple fireballs impacted the monster one after the other.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

After being hit with the Mystic technique, the Bultungin began hurtling towards the ground as plumes of black smoke blossomed from it's form. It looked unconscious...but it had this unsettling smile upon it's face as it fell.

[Rakka, Burning Blade]!

"Boaa"!

With a loud cry, Rakka condensed a sword of flames upon his brow before charging madly towards the plummeting Bultungin. At the same time, Bori's Blitzhog, Zola, let out a loud snort as it charged forward through a yellow spell circle that had manifested in front of it. An armor made of lighting soon formed on it's head and tusks as it passed through the spell circle.

Just as the Bultungin was about to hit the ground, Rakka and Zola impacted it as hard as they could. A loud bang followed by a cloud of smoke occured as the two techniques made contact. A sharp sudden pain occured on my forehead as both Rakka and Zola suddenly jumped back from the Bultungin, a trail of blood dripping from their crowns.

As the smoke cleared, the Bultungin was standing, with it's arms spread open, claws jutted and blood dripping from them. I saw small arcs of lighting jump up it's arms, a result of Rakka's and apparently Zola's reactive techniques, but the Bultungin still maintained a deranged smile on it's face. The fact that this crazy monster somehow did a counterattack while falling from the sky was a little unsettling...a feeling that jumped straight into being uncomfortable after seeing it lick the blood off of said claws.

After that unsettling action, the Bultungin let out a loud, laughing howl as it's body began to release an orange glow. A second later, it arched it's body and suddenly launched itself towards Zola, laughing all the while. A moment of shock appeared on Zola's face, before turning into a scowl. The lighting armor from before manifested once more as he decisively charged towards the rushing Bultungin at full force. Following his lead, Indigo and Banda changed their positions and released ranged techniques towards the rushing Bultungin at the same time.

Before either of the ranged techniques or Zola managed to hit the hyenaman, the vicious thing had suddenly accelerated to be right in front of Zola and launched a punch straight towards his skull. The punch shattered the lighting armor on Zola and seemed to have stunned the Blitzhog.

The next moment, it picked up the stunned and threw him into the path of the incoming ranged techniques. A loud bang occured as the techniques made impact and aethered the poor hog.

"Ouch! Be careful guys!", Bori said as he held his head and was forcibly removed from the fog of war, disappearing from our points of view. It wasn't good that Bori got knocked out of the fight, but we still outnumbered it.

[Rakka, lock it down before it attacks the others. Freezing Horn]!

Rakka let out a loud snort as he charged straight towards the Bultungin with frost covered antlers. The Bultungin's head was darting between Indigo and Banda, who were running around the field, until it noticed Rakka charging towards it. A devious laugh began to leak from it's form.
