Chapter 501
These two mohawks are too strong. Even several expert level mages, Shelia, and the werewolves, are not enough to defeat just two of them.
The enemies’ magic is just average. I mean average among the artificial master level mages that we fought. Not weak enough to be defeated in an instant, and not strong enough to last long. But their teamwork is dangerous. It’s as if they knew each other even long before they got experimented. They had a good teamwork even before that.
I guess it’s just like the previous five expert level mages we fought. There will be more enemies with great teamwork that we will have to face. We also need good teamwork.
But the thing is... I mostly work alone. Even if I gave a command so we can have a teamwork, it’s mainly focused on me being the tank, or made the finishing move. And for the future mission, I will also mostly work alone. That’s why it’s not really teamwork.
The one who can put everyone to good use is Kayla. I should have asked her to come here instead. She’s a good leader.
Other than Kayla, Jewel and Shirley can also lead. Kayla is smart from the start. Jewel is my disciple, but she has better vision of the others since she can’t do much alone like I can. As for Shirley, she’s a princess. She was born to lead, and have been taught many things before we met.
.....
Next time, I’ll just watch them instead of leading. I’ll make three groups. Each group will be led by one of the three. That will be good for them to learn more about tactics in battle.
I heard from Albert that there will be a team battle during the tournament. But I think I will miss it, so I won’t know. I’ll just leave it to Kayla and the others.
I’m finally arrive to help the werewolves. Three werewolves are dead already, and two others got fatally injured. Their regeneration skill is not enough to heal them. One of the fatally injured is Jack. I need to stop the bleeding first so when Kayla came here, he will be healed.
Jack has been stabbed by multiple Ice Spears. And the Ice Spears also froze some area around the part that he got stabbed. I quickly pulled out the spears, and sew his body with Blobbythreads. Without Victoria, I can’t waste too much Blobbies. But I need her to be with Marie. At least I need to heal the wound and melt the frozen part before Jack dies of frostbite.
“Candy, melt the ice with your fire magic. Don’t use big magic so you won’t hurt Jack,” I said to Candy.
“It’s fine if it hurts. The pain will wake me up,” Jack said. He’s acting tough.
“Too much pain will kill you. Your regeneration skill is not enough to heal you. For now, take some rest. Once you’re rested enough, and if we haven’t defeated the enemies yet, you can come back,” I said before I run toward the enemies.
Their teamwork is too good. But I need to be the main focus of the fire mage. It’s because my slash can cut fire. As for ice, I can cut it as well. But it’s a little harder than fire. I need to do something that will defeat the enemies as soon as possible.
The one with fire magic is the mohawk man. And he’s standing back to back with the woman. From my position right now, he’s on the left. Let’s do it.
While the enemies are distracted by the werewolves and the others, I need to approach them.
I raised my right hand, and then pointed it to the right side. The mohawk woman. It’s a signal for Sara to distract the woman with her sniping skill.
She understood it right away and shoot at the woman while she was distracted. But her Ice Shield is too strong for Sara’s bullet to pierce. Still, that’s enough to distract the woman.
With this, only the man will pay his attention to me. Though Celestine is helping by keep attacking with her earth magic toward the two.
The enemies don’t have time to attack us anymore. That’s good.
The man used Fire Wall to stop the werewolves from getting close, but that’s also my chance. The Fire Wall will reduce his vision. And he won’t be able to sense an attack which is not magic.
And I thrusted Reizpear forward toward the man. This should be good. My attack can pierce the fire, and hit him if it continues. But seems like that’s not enough. The mohawk man is too used in a battle. Not just magic battle, but his move to dodge my attack is precise as well.
When my attack hit his Fire Wall, he noticed an attack is coming, so he jumped to dodge it. And he didn’t just jump. He also put his hand on the woman’s shoulder as a pivot, and also to inform her of an incoming attack. With his grip, he informed the woman to where she needs to move even though he’s in the air. And my attack only hit the ground a bit away from them.
“Tsk! They are cooperating too well. This won’t be easy.”
Good thing Angela has defeated her opponent. She is flying this way and will come soon. I retreated and hide behind a big rock to open a portal to where Kayla and Jewel are. If only Angela can just stay with the two a bit longer, she will be here instantly. She keeps forgetting that I can use portal. But I used it to transport her to this forest from the palace though?
“Kayla, too many injured werewolves. Their regeneration skill is not enough. Go heal them first. Jewel, you don’t need to hide your Beastform. Go all out. They are too strong together. If we can just split them up, we can kill them easily,” I said.
Or so I thought. What happened next is beyond anyone’s imagination.
The mohawk woman, after seeing that my attack can reach the two, she did something. The enemies don’t know me since the Fire Wall blocked their vision, but they know that someone from that position attacked them and it almost reached them. And she... summoned her monster.
“Shit! She’s a summoner!? I didn’t expect that at all!”
A summoner, in the cult that tries to go to the moon, where summoned monsters came from. I thought if there are any summoners in the cult, their leader would get them to open a portal to the Monsters World.
This prove one thing. They really don’t know that summoner can open a portal to Monsters World. Which is good. As long as we destroyed their research on space travel, it’s impossible for them to go to Monsters World.
The monster that the mohawk woman summoned is not an ordinary monster. It’s a Giant! A gigantic humanoid monster!
The height of the monster is about ten meters. It has the strength to eliminate all of us with one sweep. Dangerous.
“A giant? First time I see a giant this small,” Jack said as he has been healed by Kayla.
This is still small? Well, I guess Andro’s size is many times bigger compared to this little giant.
“Tell me more about giant,” I said.
“They are huge and strong. Usually, they are much bigger than this. Maybe this one hasn’t reached adulthood yet. I heard about them from Grandpa. He said that even a young giant has enough strength to destroy an entire settlement. Grandpa said that he witnessed the extinction of a species by the giants,” Jack said.
“How can we defeat it?” Candy asked.
By overpowering the monster?
Now, what’s the plan? At least it’s just ten meters. The height of the trees in the forest is about 15 meters. Which means, the guards in the capital won’t notice about the monster yet. If they noticed, there will be chaos in the capital. And it will be difficult to continue our mission there.
I guess it’s time to test her leadership.
“Kayla! Plan!”
“Me?” Kayla asked.
“You’re better than me at this. What to do?” I asked.
“...target the giant’s legs. Make it falls, and then use magic to kill it. Get the werewolves to aim for the legs. Not all of them. Some will need to distract the giant and the two mages. Celestine and I will also use our magic to target its legs. Roy and Sara will snipe the mages. Angela who will come soon will be the finisher with her powerful magic. The others will do as they see fit,” Kayla said.
“Got it. I’ll get Sonia to relay the plan to the others,” I said as I run to where Sara is.
I called Sonia, and had her inform the others here about the plan. And I arrived at where Sara is to tell her personally about the plan.
“Understand? Keep moving while targeting the enemies. The giant is putting the two mages on its shoulders. Left one is the woman, right one is the man,” I said to Sara.
“I can see them. But do I need keep moving?” Sara asked.
“Yes. A sniper whose position has been known is useless. Or at least that’s what Victoria said. Please make me a lot of bullets before you go,” I said.
With this, I don’t have to waste Blobbies to shoot. Now, let’s fight the giant.
