Chapter 604 Barrage of Skills & Spells
As the maid monster continued to fulfill her duties with grace, the Ogre stood as her protector, a formidable guardian capable of unleashing destruction upon anyone who dared to threaten Roz and Lira.
Together, they formed a formidable force, enough to keep Robert and Cang Lu at bay.
"Stop playing around!" Invayne shouted at them. "Finish them already. We have another enemy to take care of!"
"Easy for you to say," Cang Lu spat. "Why don't you ditch out some spells and target that kid!"
"My mana is reserved for supporting you, you idiot!" Invayne snapped back.
"You're not even a healer," Cang Lu reasoned. "You're a Black Mage without a sub class!"
Invayne's face turned red with anger. "Shut up!" She had never been a professional player and was only following Scar's path.
She had hoped to become a Necromancer eventually, but those rare classes were even harder to obtain than they had imagined. She remained without a subclass even now.
To make matters worse, her map awareness and aim were poor, which led to her being assigned to support roles as a buffer and healer instead.
As the fight raged on, Cang Lu and Robert found themselves on the losing end of the fight against the formidable Maid and Ogre, with Lira adding to their troubles with her relentless attacks.
The Maid moved with grace and precision, blocking their every strike and launching counterattacks with deadly accuracy. Her movements were swift, making it difficult for Cang Lu and Robert to land any meaningful blows.
Meanwhile, the Ogre stood tall and powerful, intimidating the two adversaries with its sheer strength and ferocity. Its attacks were devastating, dealing heavy damage and sending Cang Lu and Robert reeling.
To make matters worse, Lira joined the fray, unleashing a barrage of attacks that further weakened Cang Lu and Robert's defenses. Her precision and agility made her a formidable opponent, adding to their struggle.
As the battle raged on, Cang Lu and Robert found themselves overwhelmed, their attacks proving futile against the skilled and coordinated Maid and Ogre. The odds were stacked against them, and their chances of victory seemed slim.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ren was just stalling for time. Another five minutes and the Princess and the Prince would be out of their captivity.
"I know that you're just stalling for time," Scar guessed.
"Oh? So what if I am?" Ren replied, unbothered.
"It won't work," Scar said, and a force field appeared out of nowhere.
[Time Reverse]
One of Joker's spells that speed up everyone on his side while sowing down his enemies, including casting time and cooldowns of skills.
Scar summoned spectral beings from the netherworld, their eerie forms swirling with dark energy. With a wave of his hand, he commanded them to launch a barrage of dark projectiles toward Ren and Isolde. [Shadow Torrent].
Angelica's eyes shone with mystical energy, chanted incantations that revealed glimpses of the future. The air crackled with divine energy as she unleashed her seer abilities, manipulating time and space to disrupt Ren and Isolde's defenses.
[Temporal Disruption]
This spell prevented Ren and Isolde from casting any defensive spells and skills; even the [Teleportation] and other related skills like [Blink] were nulled under this spell.
Match with Joker's [Time Reverse] that slowed Ren and Isolde to almost half percent of their AGI, they could do nothing but await their death.
This was Angelica's trump card, but she could only use it one time a day, and it only lasted one minute because it was too overpowered.
While Hixel channeled his brute strength, gathering an immense amount of energy within his massive frame. With a primal roar, he unleashed a devastating attack that took the form of a concentrated beam of raw power. The beam shot forth with blinding speed, cutting through the air like a scorching lance. [Titan's Fury].
And last was Aragon, who drew back the bowstring. His eyes fixated on the target. His arrow gleamed with a radiant aura, pulsating with potent magical energy. Taking a deep breath, he released the arrow, watching it soar through the air with remarkable speed and precision. It streaked across the sky, leaving behind a trail of brilliance as it gained momentum, akin to a shooting star. [Stellar Bolt].
The battlefield erupted in chaos as the combined onslaught of spells and skills converged upon Ren and Isolde. Explosions rocked the ground, lighting up the sky with dazzling displays of magic and energy.
Isolde's body felt as if it were weighed down by an immense gravitational force, making even the simplest movements a struggle. She desperately attempted to use her [Blink] skill, only to find it unresponsive. Panic gripped her as she realized she was unable to cast any spells or use any skills to defend herself.
Turning to Ren with a sense of urgency, Isolde sought guidance. "Ren, do you have a plan?"
Ren remained unperturbed by the imminent danger approaching. Instead of directly responding to Isolde's question, a small creature emerged from within him. It swiftly flew towards the oncoming barrage of spells, disintegrating upon contact.
In its wake, a majestic and fearsome beast materialized. It possessed the combined traits of a fox, a dragon, and a bird. The creature absorbed the enemies' stats, effectively doubling them. It shielded Ren and Isolde from the onslaught of spells and skills, providing them with much-needed protection.
As the dust settled and the onslaught of attacks subsided, Pii stood tall and let out a resounding screech, asserting its dominance. It forcefully stomped its leg on the ground, spreading its majestic black wings high and emitting a low growl that sent shivers down the enemies' spines.
Joker whistled and couldn't help but express his awe. "Whoa. So this is what little Lily encountered? I suddenly feel sorry for her."
Angelica couldn't hide her fascination as she observed the magnificent creature. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "It's even more breathtaking up close . . . I want it."
Scar remained unfazed by the appearance of this boss-level creature. Instead, he directed his attention to Invayne and issued a command. "Do it now."
Invayne, who was busy dealing with Roz and Lira, was momentarily captivated by the awe-inspiring presence of Pii.
However, she snapped back to reality at Scar's words, and she immediately unleashed the power of another [Nexus Prism] held in her hand.
In the Blink of an eye, Pii, who had dominated the field, vanished into thin air and was trapped in another dimension.
