Chapitre 154: Snakes' Snack
-Mysterious Castle-
Ack! The shockwave pushed me back but I was able to stand on my feet. The burden of using Shade is too much, not to mention I'm using his second form. My giant sword was shattered, so the axe of the Minotaur. This is really bad. The last time I fought with Centaur, my group made it in time and we were able to gang up on him and that's how we defeated him. This time, I'm really having such a hard time keeping up with this Minotaur because of these injuries I took from them earlier.
"Huff Huff... Not bad puny human. I'll commend your bravery, but this time, I'll end you." The Minotaur is ready to finish me off after that collision of our attacks but my plan was successful even if I die here.
-Icy Plains Camp-
*Zia's POV*
"Did you feel that?!" Celeste asked worriedly. No, I didn't sense anything...
"Yeah, I think. It came from the Icy Mountain. I felt a large amount of army. I also felt tremendous Auras near the top. I should have not sensed it but the Auras are too powerful that it emits even here." Mari said. She's getting worried for some reason. Still, I didn't sense anything... Now I'm starting to think if something's wrong with me.
"The Guild Leaders might have felt it too. Something must have happened there. There's no way an army and powerful monsters would just pop out of nowhere." She said. She's right. If there's a massive force there that just showed up out of the blue then maybe they are already there from that start.
"Fellow people, warriors, mercenaries, and adventurers of New Life Online, I know you've felt a malicious aura just now and it seems that something happened inside the castle. Right now, we don't have the proper formation and we are scattered like fresh meats to those hungry monsters. Listen to me and this would really save our lives." It's Zeth, he's taking the spot of the commander and the other guild leaders are just going on with it. Maybe they realized that we really need to cooperate.
"Who the f*ck said that you can just command us?!" Ugh... or maybe not. It's Siren...
"Stop talking to me like that. We have to cooperate or it would be a slaughter. Doesn't matter if you like it or not but if you would just slow us down then it's better if you guys could leave this place and hide." They're starting it again...
*WOOOOOOOOOSH!* A portal was created out of the blue and two people showed up!
"Both of you stop arguing. I'll take the position of the commander for the people of New Life." Oh crap! It's my sis and an old geezer!
"You, sh*t..." Siren is even annoyed right now.
"What was that? Do you want me to cut your tongue out right now?" Sis really owns them.
Siren just stayed silent and it seems that there are no more problems with the cooperation... The atmosphere after my Sis showed up started to lighten up and most of their worries faded away. She's so reliable and I think with her here, we can win this battle.
"Zeth was right earlier. We have to cooperate or this would be a disaster. So our plan is to take advantage of our homeland and do our best to stop this invasion. I have a plan and we will start now!" She ordered in an absolute attitude.
-Scy's Guild-
*Akko's POV*
"What was that?" I've felt a tremendous ominous feeling from the Icy Mountains.
We assembled every member we have and the only missing is Zia's group and Scy.
"Yeah, I felt an insane number of monsters. I hope Scy is ok there." Elou replied. Why the heck did you...
"What do you mean Scy is ok there? Did he go there by himself?" Petula asked... Now you've done it Elou...
"Uhmmm, I was just..." Before he said anything I intervened.
"Yes, Scy went there by himself to investigate and I think that he found something dangerous instead," It's better to tell them the truth.
"Hey, Akko... are you sure?" Elou asked me.
"It's alright. They should know. We are family after all."
"Why didn't you said something earlier. We should have come with him and helped him when he needs us. Scy and you guys saved us a couple of times and we want to also do the same for you even if it's just a pain in the butt..." I appreciate the concern Petula but it's a dangerous mission...
After that, I explained why he went there by himself expect the change of gender part...
"Anyway, I also have here a mana stone or rather, an aura stone which is filled with Scy's mana and if by any chance that Scy loses all of his mana or if he dies then the light of the mana stone would go off," I was so worried that I stole some of his mana when he was sleeping...
"Uhmmmm, Miss Akko, why did it go off just now?" She said...
"That's absurd... there's no way..." As I look at it... the light is really gone...
-Mysterious Castle-
*Scy's POV*
Oh sh*t, with that second form, I used all my mana in just an instant. My cloth armor disappeared and I'm back to my regular self. I hope that the people below this mountain felt that armies' aura so that they can prepare their people in a large scale battle. Now I'm in a pinch. All that's left in me is my regular fighting style. I don't even have my own weapon.
"Ho ho, did you just run out of juice little fellow?" Why is the Frozen King such a douche?
"Then I'll show you the strength of a Minotaur without his axe! Huff!" I know that your axe was just a decoration...
"MINOTAUR RUSH!" Without the heavy giant axe, the Minotaur is moving so fast! He's rushing towards me like a real bull this time.
I removed both the arrows sticking on both of my arms. Thankfully, it doesn't hurt like in real life but I still felt a little pain. Also, the poison didn't really last long because of my transformation earlier. It increased my overall resistance to all kinds of damage and negative effects on me.
*SWOOOOSH!* I rolled down to avoid the attack of the Minotaur and it was a successful dodge. It might be fast but he can't change the direction whenever he wants to and I think that he's also exhausted as me.
I started running around him trying to mess with his focus. He might be big and strong but without his axe, he can't use any area of effect moves.
"You! Huff!" He tried to use his horns at me but it's easy to anticipate!
"HEAVY PUNCH!" As I managed to avoid his horns, I slowly charged my fist and aimed for his face!
*BAAAAAAM!* It's been a long time since I punched someone or something with a solid sound. That felt good. That move should have made me vulnerable for a second but with my high agility, it removed that effect.
After that I sidestepped and the Minotaur tried to face me but as soon as he looked at me, I already prepared my next move!
"Damn you! Huff!" The Minotaur is pretty angry!
"SCISSOR KICK!" *BAAAAAAAM!* I furiously kicked him in mid-air which created a massive impact that his neck almost got broken but I'm not done yet!
"OVERHEAD KICK!" *BAAAAAAAM!* My attack hit him at the back of his head and his face hit and destroyed the ground! The Minotaur didn't move after that last attack lying on the ground.
But damn... I'm so exhausted. That happened so fast.
"Woah! That's pretty neat. But I guess, that's enough play time. Lamia and Moondog, finish him off." Frozen King ordered the others to kill me knowing that I don't have the ability to defend myself but you're all wrong...
The lamia is aiming her bow at me. I know that her ability with a bow is as great as Elou but who do you think am I...
I ran towards her and she decided to shoot me!
*SWOOOOOOSH!* She shot the arrow and I jumped and turned around but I was hit at the back!
"That's not going to stop me! FIERY HEAVY KICK!" I used my remaining mana to attack her!
*BAAAAAAAAAM!* An explosion occurred and smoke covered the area. I think I got her! I used my mana that regenerated while battling with the Minotaur. Also, I have a shield at my back which protected me from that arrow she shot at me.
As soon as the smoke clears, I saw her standing and was holding, both of her hands, daggers. So she isn't just an archer huh. She can also use daggers. It seems that she used the daggers to block my attack.
"Come forth my lovely pets." The Lamia can talk after all. For some reason, she dropped the daggers and she slowly raised her hands and I sensed a huge amount of magic power! Her hand started to emit light and the ground beside her started to crack and she summoned numerous large snakes! Holy crap! And I thought those snakes in her head are just decorations too...
"KILL HIM!" Holy crap! Dying as snakes' snack isn't the best way to die!
