Chapter 38: Cocoons

Chapter 38: Cocoons

Since some of the guild masters had been knocked out. The ones still standing didn't notice it... but they were holding their ground quite well.

When Vanessa used her Thunder Beam again, the creature tried to repel the attack with a swing, but then the spear didn't do its job, and the beast was pushed backward almost until it hit his throne. Everyone looked surprised... did the boss get weaker? Only Terry knew what was going on, and soon the boss did as well when he saw him crushing the cocoons...

"Keep him busy!" Terry shouted. "His strength decreases or increases according to the number of allies he has around!"

Everyone thought that Terry had died since he just disappeared from the fights, but then they found him sneakily smashing the cocoons. The others also thought that the strength of the beast was surreal, considering that the monster didn't look different from the others. Still, they couldn't imagine how come was that possible... only Terry, that had fought the red giants could understand it.

Vanessa focused on firing Thunder Arrows that were incredibly fast and forced the monster to block them since he was unable to dodge those. However, every time he did that, the electric current paralyzed him for a fraction of a second. Several of those stopped the monster for several seconds, and the beast was attacked by everyone.

Unable to move and while seeing several weapons approaching his next, the boss used his spear and made the metal extend around its body to block the attacks. Terry clicked his tongue when that happened... the enemy got severe a bit too soon than he had expedited. As if that wasn't annoying enough, the entrance door was filled with cracks.

"Whatever, I will make it do..." Terry thought and then dashed toward the entrance of the room.

A single moment before the door completely collapsed, Terry looked at those three holding the door, and they jumped away. They had no idea what Terry was planning. Still, they decided to trust him... in the next moment, he used Sonic Punch, and the powerful punch hit the door and the enemies and even created a blast that sent hundreds of them flying down the stairs while killing dozens of others instantly.

The impact made the building tremble a little, and the battle behind Terry stopped... and everyone looked at him, even the boss. Meanwhile, the enemies in front of him were still going down the stairs. That should buy the group some time.

Vanessa didn't want to hear that from Terry, of all people. Things could have been a lot easier if he decided to use his powers on the others. If he could become that strong, it would have been even more efficient to make everyone receive a small portion of that power...

In any case, the group checked the outside and confirmed the situation. Meanwhile, Terry began to smash the cocoons... each one of them only granted him two experience points, but it was better than nothing.

"I guess this will do for now..." Terry said and then approached the others.

Terry saw that his previous attack killed a lot more monsters than he had expected, and at least half of the enemies had got quite a bit hurt while falling down and stepping on each other... he lost a lot of experience...
