Chapter 101 (1/2)
“Artemis!!!”
Before the Kalas and the other two can steady themselves, the homing missiles come flying at them again, just an instance of response incapability and the missiles have already arrived!
Contorting their face, they helplessly defended against the missiles with the armaments in their hands. The missiles exploded when it made contact witht he armaments. It didn’t really bring much harm but it is definitely making them retreat further and further away…
With Ikaros, maintaining a distance between hehr and oneself isn’t a wise choice. Her abilities made her a nightmare to engage in far range compared to close range….
The result is as they are seeing, countless missiles flying at Kalas and the other two…
The flashes of dou qi s.h.i.+ned every now and then as the missiles danced in the air. The two sides’ arms clashed and would hit the surrounding stone walls from time to time making the ones battling on the floor fight with their guards raised against possible stray shots.
bam bam bam bam
The battle between Ikaros, Kalas, Jared and Momiri dragged on with both sides switching between offense and defense. The sound of clamor also didn’t stop, it’s either Ikaros having her missiles completely blocked or Kalas and the other two using their battle skill with Aegis negating most of the damage.
This brawl has turned into one of attrition, no one side can end each other definitively…
“d.a.m.n it all!!!”
Ikaros may have the advantage of flight and excel in group fights but Kalas and the other two has numerical advantage. After fighting for so long the three could see that Ikaros is just the same tier as them!
What the h.e.l.l, having the numerical advantage and yet the three of them not only couldn’t defeat her, they have to suffer through her counter attacks intermittently. Their anger is slowly and surely building up, it’s up to the point where they are on the verge of exploding with rage…
Being of the same tier and excluding that flight ability of hers and having one more armament than them there really isn’t that much difference between them. Even so, surely she can’t fight against 3 of the same tier without losing any grounds right?
And yet, this angel like girl before them turned the impossible into possible!
Kalas, Momiri and Jared don’t know what the h.e.l.l it is but quite clearly this angelic girl isn’t that much stronger than Kalas who’s the strongest among them. So why, how is she able to achieve such a feat?
After the befuddlement came jealousy, deep deep envy…
What gives her the right? Why can she do something we can’t when we are the same? Why can she go up against 3 of the same tier? Based on what? Doe sbeing able to fly really add that much to one’s strength?
They probably won’t be able to figure this out in their entire life…
Under the influence of envy and wrath the trio’s attack became more and more intense. Ikaros is starting to feel the pressure now as she frantically reacted to them.
If Kalas and the other two thinks it’s a pain to deal with Ikaros, then Ikaros’ thoughts are mutual.
She is holding on with her flight and group fighting capability but as time drags on she is starting to grow weary of this fight!
At the end of the day, the enemy has the numerical advantage and they are of roughly same power compared to her. On the surface it might look like she’s fighting without losing ground but that’s only because Ikaros is not letting on about how hard this is.
Whenever the barrier is broken she has to use her wing to block the attacks. She might be able to block them but some of the force from the battle skills are still transmitted from the wings to her body. On the surface, it might look like she’s okay but inevitably she has been hit!
Only she knows that their battle skills aren’t ineffective…
This is within Wu Yan’s expectation. He has confidence in her abilities but despite that she is still fighting against 3 of roughly the same strength as her. She might able to pull off a parity in battle power by leveraging her group fighting excellence and flight ability but it would take a whole lot more to attain victory…
The original plan was that Ikaros would delay them until such time that he and Mikoto deal with the small fry and then they would gang up on the three.
Wu Yan and Mikoto might not be able to compete fairly with Kalas and the other two. However, with the help of Resplendent Breath, it’s not like there’s no chance at all. (Tl: Yes, as you may have noticed there are a f.u.c.k ton of IMO, redundant double negatives.)
Ikaros on the other hand doesn’t have the same thought!
