After I explained the plan, we immediately moved into action. The four girls dashed towards the giant humanoid monster once known as Xuan Kun, each heading towards one of his limbs. While they were doing so, I readied another Infernal Arrow, waiting for the right moment to shoot it. This time, however, I wouldn't have any Time Element to help me. I wouldn't know when an opportunity would arise, so I had no way of properly timing the Time Magic, seeing as how it didn't last forever.
That being said, I didn't think an opportunity would arise anytime soon. The monster purposefully didn't let me get a clear shot on his chest, where I previously wounded Xuan Kun. This only confirmed my theory from earlier, but it was troublesome. The girls were trying their best to give me a clear shot, but the monster was effortlessly dealing with them with its large arms.
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
With this, the battle portion of this volume has come to an end. This arc really was action-packed, huh? It was tiring to write to be honest, but also exciting at the same time. Weird.
On a completely unrelated note, I think I'm getting better at writing fight scenes, do you guys agree? N-No? Ah...o-okay...well, I'll keep trying my best, I guess...
Anyway! With this, bonds are severed (hence the chapter name) and one more antagonist is removed from the story...? Who knows, in reality? In this multiverse of magic where necromancy is nothing special, are dead people truly dead? I haven't decided yet, but perhaps I will bring him back sometime in the future. He's not a very pleasant character at all, but I'm planning to include a little side chapter talking about Xuan Kun's backstory and why he thirsts for power so much. Yes, he has a nasty personality, but that is driven by his constant eagerness for getting stronger. The reason for that...it's pretty sad, honestly, if I do say so myself.
By the way, I finally used the italics feature in this chapter. How did you like that little monologue of Xuan Kai's? I'll be making more of this feature in the future, it's just so convenient for showing what character's are thinking.
Anyway, that's all from me for now!
And as always, I'll see you guys in the next chapter~
