SWOOSH BOOOOMMM

"Susanoo!"

At the same time that Cynrik activated Susanoo, Brance kicked the ground so hard a shockwave crushed the terrain underfoot, and he rushed forward to greet the Boss.

Without needing to keep tabs on his brother, Brance raised his shields and zoned out, listening to the music. Raising his arms like wings while he ran, Brance twisted his forearms, turning the shields downward, exposing his wrists to the air, and began pulling at the ground using his Terra Affinity.

Circling around the front of the creature and making a sharp hard left turn, Brance's head snapped toward The Tier-4 Chimera, who continuously roared and charged forward like a bull; however, the creature never expected to see 30 Stone pillars jutting from the ground and coming straight at it.

Letting out a puff of steam through the nostrils on its central head as if snorting in disdain, the creature jumped into the air as the multiple attacks drew down on it. It effortlessly glided away from them, showing a higher level of intelligence than any other Chimera the brothers had faced.

This act of cognition didn't escape Cynrik as he watched Brance hurling stone pillars in batches of three at the Chimera.

[Increase the speed and reduce the size of your attacks, Brance; they're too big and can be easily dodged.] With narrowed eyes, Cynrik tapped the ground with his right foot and exploded forward, running to the right and avoiding a confrontation with the fight between Brance and the Chimera.

[Copy, I'm good on Mana; let me know when you're ready.] Following his brother's command, Brance planted his right foot on the ground, pivoted, and smashed both CS Tears into the ground. In response to this, hundreds of thin, needle-like spikes rose up and launched a never-ending assault on the flying creature.

Waving his arms like a flight controller telling an Airplane which direction to go, Brance swung his shields, bringing more attacks from the terrain along with it.

Meanwhile, Cynrik ran at full speed, causing an afterimage tailing several meters behind him and giving the appearance that there were four Cynriks, not one.

As he ran, Cynrik brought his right arm up and gripped his left arm just above the wrist. Unseen to anyone, icy blue Fire Mana was swirling around his entire hand under the flesh.

'Been a while since I've tried this, alright, no time like now,' breaking out in a crazed smile, Cynrik accelerated forward, released his left wrist, and, using his right hand, grabbed onto one of the spikes erupting from the ground.

[GOING UP, BRANCIE!] He shouted, causing Brance to take control of that individual spike and reinforce it as he directed it into a favorable position for his brother.

[CYNRIK JETLENSR, NO MECHA, LAUNCHING!] The spike carried him up over 70 meters before suddenly halting, but due to the insane speed it had climbed, Cynrik's momentum carried him forward, having timed his release perfectly.

With his head angled upward, Cynrik formed a knife hand with his left hand in the air before curling in the tips of his fingers, preparing to unleash an attack that was sure to cause him harm.

'Hey, Tobs, my arm isn't going to explode…right?' With less than 15 meters between himself and the flying Chimera, Cynrik felt the urge to ask suddenly.

-If it does, then it does. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, amirite? Don't forget your Susanoo has a damage reduction.-

-Oh, yeah, also, YOU HAVE TRIGGERED A PRE-RECORDED NOTIFICATION!-

-"Stop being stupid, you ignoramus; if you are going to fire off something that will generate a large explosion, GET THE HELL AWAY FIRST!" end message.-

Cynrik sputtered and nearly lost his composure when he heard the obnoxious message from the past.

'Now, NOW of all times, Tobs, Seriously!'

-Do what you want, Cyn; I did my part…-

Sitting on his shoulder, the invisible Tobs shrugged her shoulders and looked up at the unsuspecting Chimera, who was too preoccupied dealing with Brance's attacks to notice the fly incoming silently from under its belly.

'10 meters, 8 meters, it should be fine, right? I'm Tier-3 now….' Pushing away his uncertainties, Cynrik appeared right under the exposed soft furry belly of the Chimera, twisted his body, and punched out with all his might, his hand erupting in deep blue flames.

"Futae No Kiwami-KAJI!" Raising his voice and shouting the skill name, Cynrik used a skill that he hadn't been able to use for some time.

TAP TAP  BOOOM!!!!!!!!

-You have received…-

The notifications rolled in. However, Cynrik was too preoccupied with the after-effects of his skill. When the second hit landed on the Chimera's body, a massive explosion occurred, sending Cynrik hurtling down toward the ground.

In contrast, the Chimera's body was flung upward and curled like a shrimp, with a swarm of fire spreading across its underside.

Feeling his vision go blurry for a second, Cynrik tucked his left arm, which was completely bare and burnt to a crisp. Ignoring the crispy flesh, the backlash from the new version of Futae No Kiwami affected all the layers of skin, muscle, tendons, and bones of his left arm, from the fingertip to his elbow.

Rotating his body and angling downward, Cynrik met the worried gaze of his younger brother and extended out his right arm, indicating Brance should "pick him up" with another Stone Spike.

[Tsss, fuck, that stung,] Cynrik complained as he reinforced the fingers of his right hand and dug them into the stone pillar, which slowed him down and brought him back to the ground safely.

-No shit!-

[NO SHIT!] Momentarily sharing a brain, Brance and Tobs scolded as Brance ran to his brother's side, and his hands began glowing in white Light. Upon reaching Cynrik, he not so gently grabbed hold of his brother's arm to use [Lay On Hands].

[FUUUUUUUUU, DAMN IT, BRANCIE, WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT WARNING A GUY BEFORE GRABBING HIS INJURED ARMS! AHH AHHH, CHILL, CHILL!] Screaming bloody murder in the mind link, yet staying completely calm and collected on the outside, Cynrik could feel his nose and eyes start running and tearing up due to the pain, so he used Fire Mana to evaporate it instantly.

[Shut the fuck up, moron; if you want to be babied, have Selly learn some healing skills.] Snorting and pumping ample Light Mana into his brother's severely injured arm, Brance noticed the bone and tendons begin knitting back together and healing.

From the Fourth degree down to the second, Brance could heal the worst of the damage Cynrik had done to himself before stopping.

BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM

[There, your healing factor can take over from here. We have bigger problems.] Whipping their heads in the direction of the noise, Cynrik and Brance spotted the massive creature thrashing around on the ground, attempting to put out the fire, which had spread to its entire body. It was also puking large amounts of blood from all three mouths, indicating it had suffered internal injuries.
