Chapter 144: Probing Attack

Lake could tell the fight was about to end when the giants started to head away from the city because he understood the concept of running away. Stepping into his room he thought about what he had just watched, the fight itself had just been a lot of the two sides throwing huge attacks at each other or at least that had been what he could see.

He was sure there had been other things going on like them using skills and all that but he had been too far away to really notice anything like what skills they had been using to change their big ass attacks. It kind of reminded him of something like how battleships would probably fight just shooting the biggest guns they had until they either won or they sunk.

Of course the best part had been when one of the giants fell from the sky after being hit with a head shot that he guessed had instantly killed them. He had to say those giants ended up being a lot weaker than he had expected. It was like they didn't expect such heavy opposition or maybe they weren't that experienced.

He had seen one get made in the past so he guessed those ones he had seen in that battle were newly born which made them lack battle experience to the point where they had kind of just sat there and took attacks. It could have also been that it was just hard for them to maneuver their big bodies well in the air.

He had seen the pose they had chosen for flight and maybe looking that stupid was out of necessity to increase their mobility enough that it wasn't a death sentence for them to fight in the air like that because he had noticed a lot of the golden lights had been moving fast enough were they had been flying circles around them.

Oh that was another thing, there ended up being a lot more holy mages in the city than anyone had expected. Lake had kind of known because of the vault he had broken into but it had never been confirmed until now. When that had been revealed everyone on the balcony other than him had gone crazy like they had just seen a miracle. The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin

Well he guessed they had, in a world like this miracles were everywhere because the gods and what they were doing was very apparent it was actually so common that it made him wonder what passed for a miracle here. In his world people freaked over something like toast having a picture on it because that was really all you could hope for but here he guessed a god giving you a Legendary job was probably a miracle.

Jenson didn't know what it was but there were rumors Domare had a Legendary Job and he believed it 100%. In his time surviving under Domare he had seen them do some wild things and the way they gave orders made you think they could see not only their future but what could have happened if you made a different choice.

It wasn't an all the time thing and there seemed to be certain conditions that had to be met but the number of times he had seen Domare solve problems before they could happen made him wonder what had happened during this fight. Domare had seemed confident in this fight so something had made it so Domare wasn't able to see through the temple's defenses like normal.

Jenson stopped thinking about it because he had just found the giants. Domare seemed fine which wasn't surprising but the rest of them were in rough shape. One was even missing an arm which he hadn't seen happen so it must have happened as they were retreating, it wasn't really a life threatening injury for a undead though so there was no reason to worry about it, Domare would be able to heal the others as soon as they regained their mana.

Since Domare had been the one who made them they were technically undead under their control meaning Domare could heal them like any necromancer could to the undead they had under their control. Necromancer was one of the new jobs the Demon Lord had just allowed people who met the requirements to start unlocking and Jenson was a big fan.

He had been quick to get it because he had already maxed out the Unholy Mage and Dark Mage jobs so all he had to do was enter one of the Demon Temples and he had been lucky enough to get it. "How Many?" Jenson snapped back to reality and quickly answered Domare's question.

"I detected 21 of them right after you all revealed yourselves and that was the most I detected at one time so I think that is probably pretty close to the actual number." Jenson had been hiding close to the city during the battle fulfilling the role of a scout to help make sure Domare didn't need to worry about anything other than fighting and like he said earlier, be a last resort messenger if anything went wrong and they were all killed.

"Were you able to get anything in the short amount of time you had the Mage in your hand?" Jenson wouldn't usually dare to ask anything directly like this but it was kind of important because with their lose this had become more of a probing attack to get information about the enemy and he knew one of Domare's odd skills that he hadn't seen any of the other giants use only worked if Domare was able to hold them still and he had seen Domare try at the beginning of the sneak attack instead of killing the mage Domare had used the opportunity to grasp them.

The mage had been able to escape using an attack but that didn't mean Domare had failed to get any information first. "No, the mages wield blessed armaments." Domare stopped talking for a few seconds after saying this and Jenson could tell it was because they were about to use a spell.

After a few seconds of Domare gathering mana, Jenson saw the wounds on the other giants start to disappear, ending when the one giant regained its arm. After all of this Domare stood and said. "Time to return." With that order all of them followed Domare away from the city, not sure when they would return.
