Chapter 206 – Despair (4)
Chaos Alcatraz, whose side was attacked, briefly let out an annoyed voice.
The fact that such a voice came from the mouth of a guy who had ignored our attacks like a passing breeze until now probably means that he has finally found Chaos Alcatraz’s weakness.
Even thinking about that for a moment, Chaos Alcatraz raised his hand and waved it towards Ellie who was clinging to his side.
It’s like shaking off dust from your body.
It was just a simple movement, but Ellie, who was attached to Chaos Alcatraz’s body, was unable to avoid it and ended up colliding with her hand.
“Ugh!”
Although it was just a hand movement to shake it off, the impact on Ellie was so great that it sent Ellie flying far away, as if a person was swatting away a small animal.
“Ellie!”
“I guess it’s not the time to worry about that bitch.”
When I turned my head towards the sound, Chaos Alcatraz opened his mouth and prepared to fire his breath at me.
Everyone except Freya and I saw that and immediately rushed to stop it.
The area of attack was, of course, the area on her side that Ellie had attacked just moments ago.
After quickly matching the number of attacks with 5 people using a small skill, Noah swung a sword made of blood on the 10th and final time.
〈Disobey Strike Blood〉
Bang!
A loud crashing sound rang out, but surprisingly, Chaos Alcatraz did not react much, unlike when Ellie attacked.
Just before, he made a small but irritated voice mixed with pain, but this time, there was no sign of that at all.
This means that the breath that attacks Freya and I does not stop.
Is there a breath of black flame flying like when I transformed into this phase?
What I used to block the breath earlier was me and Freya’s 〈 God’s Power: Sanctuary 〉 and 〈 Frozen Block 〉 3 skills that were used according to the duration, so I blocked it without damage.
However, I think I can use the skill once more, but Freya may not have had the cooldown time to use the skill yet.
That being said, it should be avoided rather than blocked.
Just after using 〈 Dash 〉 or 〈 Hyper Teleport 〉.
If you’re avoiding it alone, you can use the skill to move quickly, but since you have to move with Freya now, there’s nothing you can use.
Usually, there are no skills that move together to protect other characters.
Fortunately, even though 〈 Dash 〉 is originally a skill that only moves one character, it seems to be based on the principle that people who are together are treated as objects and are moved together.
So, I used 〈 Jet Stream 〉 on the ground earlier to escape using repulsion, but now how do I avoid it?
Should I use a skill on the ground to avoid it this time?
However, the previous attack did not have a wide range because it hit the ground with the sole of the foot, so it was possible to dodge backwards using a skill, but this time it is impossible to dodge backwards.
Considering the range of the previous attack, no matter how much you step back, you will not be able to avoid it and will be hit by the breath.
“Jinunim!”
At that moment, Minercia flew over her head, grabbed Freya and me with her feet, and then quickly flew up.
This is really nice timing!
Grumble!
Black flames pass beneath our feet as we fly.
When you think that your entire body is covered in the rising heat even though you are passing right next to it, your mind is filled with the terrible thought that you might not even feel the pain and just burn away.
While Yuria rescues us, the remaining people seem to be still trying to attack the area that Ellie attacked earlier, but they are not seeing much success.
Why? It certainly seemed like Ellie’s attack worked, but this time the attack didn’t work at all?
If it were a game, I would have figured out the rule with infinite tries.
We soared above Chaos Alcatraz’s head as he fired his breath.
The moment I thought about it in my head, Chaos Alcatraz’s head began to move.
While shooting the breath.
Chaos Alcatraz’s head let out a burst of breath and turned his head in the direction we had taken off.
What? You mean it even moves along with the character while it’s attacking?
It’s an attack with a wide range, but it even moves when the targeted character moves. What kind of pattern is this?
Chaos Alcatraz’s breath gradually rises above the ground and follows us as we fly in the air.
“Yuria! Go under the Chaos Alcatraz tail!”
“Okay, Jinu!”
At my words, Minercia immediately flew towards Chaos Alcatraz’s tail, dodging her breath.
However, if it gets close to its body, it won’t be able to fire its breath at us.
Especially if you go towards the tail, you won’t be attacked because you can’t turn your head 180 degrees.
Still, our moving speed was faster than the turning speed of Chaos Alcatraz’s head, so we were able to beat Breath and reach the tail.
But that judgment was not good.
The moment we approached the tail, we felt an object approaching from the side and we had no choice but to collide with it.
We, who were riding Minercia, were hit by Chaos Alcatraz’s tail and thrown to the ground.
Bang!
“Ugh…”
“Krrrr…”
At least right after Chaos Alcatraz collided with us, Minercia wrapped around us and lessened the impact of our tail hitting the floor, but I still felt such a shock throughout my body that I couldn’t even open my eyes for a moment.
It seems to be coded to swing its tail if you go near Chaos Alcatraz while shooting its breath.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to react so immediately.
I opened my eyes and looked around, shaking from the shock so great that it was difficult for me to get up immediately.
Including me, Freya and Yuria are in the same condition as me, and Minercia, who was hit in the tail by a direct hit, is spitting out blood and can’t even open her eyes.
The breath coming towards us, who was lying down, had not stopped yet, so Chaos Alcatraz’s head turned towards us and aimed at us.
〈God’s Power: Barrier 〉
I quickly activated my defense skill before the black flames of my breath attacked us. Fortunately, the black flames were blocked by the barrier before they could cover us, so they did not come closer.
If I had written it a little later, it might have been the same.
Maybe it was because I started shooting the breath and ran away until now, but the flying breath stopped before the 〈 Power of God: Barrier 〉 I had cast disappeared.
《Kwaaaaa!》
As soon as the breath fired at us ended, Chaos Alcatraz began to shout loudly, and at that moment, numerous magic circles were created in the sky.
I don’t know much about magic circles, but it was a magic circle that I had seen over and over again.
It is a pattern that pours out black thorns.
The problem is that so many magic circles were created that they covered the sky.
Why is an attack like that happening at this exact moment?
I just need to use my defense skills right now, and Freyja is there too.
But the problem is that the remaining people there have no way to immediately stop that attack.
And my worries unfolded right before my eyes.
Black rain began to fall from the sky, obscuring the view, like a tropical squall.
The problem is that the black rain is thorns.
〈Frozen Block〉
I immediately created a wall of ice above my head to defend myself.
Patter-patter!
You can feel the impact of so many thorns falling on the ice wall.
Can the girls outside escape this rain of thorns?
If an additional attack were to come here, I would be dead, but seeing that there are no additional patterns, fortunately, it seems that there is no such thing as an overlapping pattern.
After the rain of thorns ended and the ice wall disappeared, I looked for the girls outside.
What you see there is something like a hedgehog, pricked by numerous thorns.
It seems that they tried to prevent the thorns from hitting their head or vital parts by attacking among the falling thorns, but it seems that there were so many thorns that it was impossible to defend them all.
If you look closely, Rachel, who was unable to defend herself by immediately reacting to the thorn, was hiding behind Noah and Lien, so she was not hit by the thorn, but the bodies of Noah and Lien, who had blocked to protect Rachel, are a mess.
I wanted to run over there right now and heal him, but I couldn’t rush forward because I was afraid that Chaos Alcatraz would attack me right away.
We shouldn’t be treated like this until we figure out how to catch Chaos Alcatraz.
Once we are dealt with like this, the snowball will roll and we will never be able to defeat Chaos Alcatraz.
Ha… Now that things have come to this, I think it would be better to return to the Kingdom of Britinya, reorganize, and then fight Chaos Alcatraz again.
In that case, we should gather everyone here and then return to 〈 Return 〉.
I set up the list in Brighton Castle so that the 〈 Return 〉 skill could be used immediately the moment everyone gathered, and I tried to check the list in the 〈 Return 〉 skill with the intention of using it immediately after collecting everyone with 〈 Time Stop 〉.
“Return cannot be used due to the enemy’s blocking magic.”
What is this?
This is my first time seeing a message window like this.
Skill 〈Return〉 can be used in any situation, but it cannot be used now.
Could it be that 〈Return〉 doesn’t work when fighting Chaos Alcatraz?
