Chapter 543 – Side Story 46) Defeat
46) A natural defeat
“Keukssuk…!”
Evan drooled and frowned. An anxious look was evident. He was guarded by Laura and Apple and Mango, who had grown like Maltese with the [Rapid Growth] Skill.
“Why, why can’t it sync!”
[Telepathy (Lv. 4)] Evan, who has psychic powers, tried to mentally sync Ilya so that he could not concentrate on the battle.
If you’re concentrating on your enemy and you hear a strange noise in your head, you’re bound to lose concentration. Evan, who developed his psychic powers according to my advice, had a lot of fun with this strategy.
It’s a good strategy that has always worked, but it didn’t work this time. Because the opponent wasn’t good.
“No matter how much telepathy you have, it’s hard for a 4th level to mentally sink a 9th level psychic.”
The level difference between Illya and Evan was too great. Besides, Ilya was surprisingly mentally strong. I heard that Godmother often taught Illya to meditate since he was little so that he could control his emotions.
“But you have that kind of personality… Meditation doesn’t work. Isn’t it? Is it because of meditation?”
If it hadn’t been for meditation, Illya, who was even more insane than now, would have been born.
In any case, Evan was completely incapacitated. And Laura wasn’t much help from the beginning.
In the end, Rachel, Sevi, Hanna, and Cristina had to deal with Illya.
Haha! What are you doing, kids! They said I was wrong! Stop me now!”
“Keuuuk! Mo, the body…”
“Your body seems heavier than usual!”
The children were having a hard time. In the meantime, Illya had activated the 2nd stage of Fury. If the first stage of fury is that intangible momentum puts pressure on the mind, the second stage puts pressure on the body.
The children who were caught up in Illya’s momentum were more tense and contracted than usual. In addition, he was mentally pushed to his limits because he had been helplessly pushed back by Illya’s attacks.
It was an unfavorable situation in many ways.
“Now what are you going to do, my daughter?”
Will Rachel’s heroic will be broken here, or will she surprise me by creating an unexpected situation?
I looked down at Rachel with her expectant eyes.
*****
‘At this rate…’
Rachel, too, knew very well that they would lose at this rate. However, just because she knew that, it did not mean that she would come up with a sharp number that could turn the situation around at once.
‘Too strong!’
The woman in the rabbit mask was strong. Even though she was strong, she was too strong. No matter what she did, she didn’t think it would work for her.
There was only one way to reverse the current situation.
‘If Dad helps…’
She just needed to invoke a greater power. No matter how strong that woman was, she couldn’t defeat her father, the Dark Knight.
“… Chit!”
‘Rachel you idiot! What is she thinking?’
But it was a choice I would never have made. Rachel blamed herself and pushed the thought out of her head.
With her dad’s help, he could easily take that woman down. But so? Will you always tell your dad to help you when things get tough?
She wants to be a hero herself, she doesn’t want to be protected by her dad forever.
A hero stands tall against any danger without giving up!
Rachel straightened her waning will.
‘I’m going to do as much as I can.’
“… Evan!”
“Why!”
“Put a mental link on me, Christina and Hannah!”
“Kuuu! Okay!”
Evan bit his lip at Rachel’s words and immediately established a mental link with the three of them. All three of them were within 30 meters of a long-distance mental link, so there was no difficulty. Soon, the minds of the four people, including Evan, were connected.
Every minute was urgent, so Rachel quickly gave orders to her friends.
‘Hannah, hold on until we prepare for the ‘encephalitis spray’!’
‘How long does it take!’
‘… 30 seconds!’
‘Damn! It will take a long time! Okay!’
“Hey bitch!”
“What? Bitch? A bitch up to these feet…”
“Quaaaaah!”
Hanna and Sevi relentlessly ran towards Illya.
‘Christina.’
‘Huh.’
‘Let’s increase the output of ‘encephalitis spray’.
‘What? Rachel, that’s…!’
Christina was taken aback by Rachel’s words to increase the output.
Inherited from her pyromancer Christina and her father, Rachel practiced a deadly combination technique dubbed ‘Encephalitis Coffin Spray’ countless times at the Hero Academy.
Combining attacks of different attributes was very difficult and failed every time. So, the two practiced while lowering the power, and eventually succeeded in making the current encephalitis spray.
However, it was difficult to see a great effect because the power was significantly lowered to find stability. If both of them became high-level psychics, it would be a truly terrifying skill, but now it was just a skill full of superficiality.
‘That’s too dangerous!’
‘Know. But that is the only way to overcome the current situation.’
Cristina said it was dangerous, but Rachel was firm.
If you make it stronger than it is now, the lightning and flames will not mix and will explode as they are. Both lightning and flames are elemental attacks with strong destructive power, but if they explode, the casters, Rachel and Christina, could be in danger.
‘Don’t do that, just ask the uncle for help…’
‘That’s not allowed! Can’t you see that Dad hasn’t come out yet? It’s because he judged that we can still fight enough! But here, if we don’t try and ask for help… Maybe he’ll dismantle the Young Hero!’
‘That’s… Kue! I don’t know! OK got it! I’ll prepare! Do I have to die when the uncle is there! Start right now?’
‘Huh!’
Pajijik-! Fire-!
Lightning and flame rose from Rachel’s and Christina’s hands, respectively. The power of nature with the power of the two girls intertwined. Its size gradually increased.
‘Charge.’
Here, Rachel used the charging skill. With the help of the charging skill, Rachel and Christina were able to reliably maximize the power of the encephalitis spray.
But the important thing was the next moment.
During the casting time, even if the power can be stably amplified with the help of the charging skill, the charging skill is automatically canceled the moment the concussion spray is fired.
Then, from then on, Rachel and Christina, the two of them had to control the power of the encephalitis spray directly. It was a very difficult task for the two who were still young and had a low level of psychic ability.
The two did their best to raise their strength, and soon everything was ready.
‘Hannah, avoid!’
“Okay! Hey Sevi! Come here!”
“Ahh?!”
The gigantic Hanna grabbed her Sevi by her side and jumped beside her.
“What are these bastards… Huh?”
Ilya tilted his head as Sevi and Hanna, who had been clinging to each other, suddenly ran away in a hurry. And I could see Rachel and Christina sweating so much that her clothes were soaking wet.
“That’s…”
In front of the two girls, there was a combination of lightning and flames emitting terrifying energy.
“Haha! Sprinkle encephalitis!”
“Spray encephalitis!”
Rachel and Cristina opened their eyes at the same time as if they were one body and stretched out their hands. At the same time, the beasts of lightning and fire that were being controlled under the influence of the charging skill pierced us and leaped forward.
“Ha…”
Illya let out a sigh at the attack that flew towards him.
And she said
“…Why are you shouting technology names?”
*****
“Hoo?”
My eyes lit up as I watched Rachel prepare for another encephalitis attack with Christina.
“You use the charging skill like that?”
The charging skill I know is to accumulate the power of lightning in the body and unleash strong destructive power with a single attack.
However, Rachel used the charging skill in a completely different direction from the concept I knew.
The lightning was condensed outside the body, not inside. She even put under her own control not only her own lightning bolts, but also Christina’s flames.
It’s the first time I’ve seen a charging skill used in that way.
“Is this why superpowers are fun?”
Even if they had the same psychic ability and the same skill, the effect and method of use were very different depending on the caster. The reason why the effects and methods of use are so different is that each person understands supernatural powers differently.
There is a word ‘apple’.
Looking at this word, some people will think of eating an apple, while others will think of admitting their mistakes and asking for forgiveness from others.
Different people have different interpretations of the same word. And it was the same with superpowers.
What kind of psychic powers you have, how to express them, and what effect they will have depend on the interpretation of each person with psychic powers.
Just as I understood her charging skill as accumulating lightning within her body, Rachel understood and used it in her own way.
“She is our daughter too.”
Like my daughter, Rachel was smart, smart, genius, clever.
“Haha! Sprinkle encephalitis!”
“Spray encephalitis!”
Before long, Rachel launched an encephalitis attack, or rather an encephalitis tube spray, her combined technique with Christina. Using it while shouting the name of the technology! Hmm! Right. That’s the wish
Some people shout the name of the technology and resist using it. Others do not understand such behavior.
However, this was a different issue depending on what you think.
Rather, I recommend naming a skill and using it while shouting.
Not simply because of romance, but because of efficiency.
Just practicing hard doesn’t mean you’ll be able to use the skill you’re thinking of right away. It requires detailed research, consideration, and practice, such as how to use power, how much output to decide, and what shape to make for technology.
And the easiest way to establish a skill is to give it a name.
I also snap my fingers when I use ‘Half Cutting’, a technique that rips an enemy in half. The act of snapping your fingers was like pulling the trigger in a gun.
The process of making a technology and using that technology is to save images in the words ‘half-cutting’ and ‘fingers’.
Simply put, it is shouting out the name of a technology to make it easier to use.
When the mind and body remember the image in which the technology is expressed, there is no need to use the name of the technology from then on.
Later, I was able to use half-cutting without having to shout out the name of the technique or even snap my fingers.
Anyway, Rachel and Cristina’s combined technique, encephalitis spray, flew towards Illya. As if it had been discussed beforehand, just in time for Hannah, who had grown taller than me, slipped out with her Sevi wrapped around her side.
“Haaaaagh!”
“Ahhhhh!”
Rachel and Cristina frowned and screamed. It was to control the power so that lightning and fire would not collide with each other and explode.
“They’re definitely children with promising futures. They’re overflowing with talent.”
It was a different level of power from the encephalitis tube spray that was first introduced. Perhaps this was the first time they had increased their firepower to this level, but the two girls were perfectly in control of their power.
“Yes, I have talent.”
Bang-!
Encephalitis spray hit Illya.
“But they’re still ‘kids’.”
A big explosion occurred. Lightning and flames spread in all directions.
“Ahh!”
“Damage!”
“Have you done it?!”
The Young Hero hurriedly ran away from the lightning and flames. After a while, the lightning and flames subsided, and the smoke from the explosion also dissipated.
From the smoke, Illya appeared in a normal state.
“No, that’s nonsense…”
The children were frustrated by it. The finisher didn’t work. The last hope was gone and all that was left was frustration.
“Isn’t it too hot for the kids?”
The children didn’t see it, but I saw it clearly. Illya using the Furious Explosion skill right before the Cerebrum Sprayer collides.
Ilya blocked the current encephalitis spray in the same way as the first time he stopped the encephalitis spray.
Unfortunately, the kids didn’t know that. So I used the finisher that failed the first time and met the same result.
“Did you smoke all the jokes, kids?”
The result after that was obvious.
It was a complete defeat for Young Hero.
