Chapter 478 New Form

Chapter 478 New Form

As I was watching the spray of blue blood fly in the air, I quickly took a few steps back. I wouldn't want to get smeared with blood, after all.

After seeing it drop onto the floor, I felt glad that I dodged.

*SIZZLE!*

The blue blood was raising suspicious green smoke as it burned the crystal flooring of the castle!

"D*mn! Is it acidic?!"

Although I wanted to gain more distance, the other priests started to notice me and began to attack. They didn't go for melee attacks, but rather fired beams and projectiles from a distance.

"Will!"

Fatima cried in worry before switching her armament from the rifle to the Machine Gun. Like the rifle, it had enough strength to overpower the god-level enemies, forcing them to keep their barriers up at all times.

"Fina, Yorm, Judy, Julia!"

I quickly called, but I didn't have enough time to even give them orders. Attacks kept pouring down like rain, making it impossible for me to even take a breather!

Fortunately, they understood their assignment well, and buffs started falling onto my body. My speed more than doubled, with strength reaching up to 5 times that of normal. With this boost, I doubt I'll get pushed back now.

The attacks that almost grazed me before were now easily dodged, but as they noticed that I got faster, the number of attacks doubled. They're not allowing me space to dodge! Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

*VRRRRRRRRRR!*

Fortunately, Fatima's covering fire could take down a few of the attacks, allowing me to weave across the remaining projectiles safely.

'However, at this rate, I'll just get stuck defending!'

As I was under constant fire, the nine remaining priests were spreading out, trying to position themselves around me. Whenever I tried to move towards one of them, that person would fall back while the rest increased their attack's intensity, leading to a stalemate.

"No, it's not a stalemate at all...!"

As I was moving around intensely, fatigue would catch up faster for me than for them. If I get tired, then their attacks will hit, and then it's game over!

"Fatima, sorry, but I have no choice!"

Explosions resounded as Fatima ran, taking notice not to go too far from the target.

Although half of them were focusing on Fatima, for some reason, the attacks heading for me weren't diminishing. Were they holding back earlier?

The number of fireballs increased tenfold, with the pesky invisible wind blades covering practically every inch of my surroundings.

"[SHIELD]!"

In the end, I could no longer dodge the attacks and was forced to waste more energy than planned. With a barrier made out of Psychic Energy, all attacks heading for me swerved away, as if getting flicked by an invisible hand!

It was a powerful defense, but as expected, it wasn't enough to cover the difference in numbers. I was still unable to move forward!

Fatima was having trouble, too.

The duration of Status Augmentation depends on how much energy I spend, so letting the battle drag on for too long isn't ideal. She also knows this, so she was trying her best to close the distance even more.

"Being on the defensive isn't my style...!"

Although forceful, I couldn't dilly-dally anymore either. I charged forward, letting the barrier do its job while locking onto a single target. The priest I was approaching noticed it and quickly backed off, trying to regain distance.

'He fell for it!'

I smiled as I watched him back away, not realizing who was waiting behind him.

"Priest Karran!"

One of the priests called for his attention, but since I was chasing him with quite the speed, he couldn't spare a moment to hear his words.

"Checkmate!"

I swung my sword vertically, but the priest dodged it by tilting his body to the side. Then...

*ZIIIIIN!*

A blue light swept across his body, cutting it in half. He probably didn't even have time to feel the pain or the heat as another slash came, running from the top of his head to his groin.

*VUOOOM!*

Another victim of Fatima's [Variable Energy Blade]!
