Chapter 82 - (82) Unlikely Aid (1/2)

The sixth bolt of lightning began to shoot out with the rest. It was almost to the point where there was a bolt for every party member. Geth was distressed at the fact that the Shaman still had more than 90% of its Mana pool.

'At this rate, lightning will fill the chamber before it runs out of Mana.' He sent out through Albus. 'Zolis, see if your earthquake or fire can disrupt it.'

'I can only use one or the other. I've already used up the extra Mana I get for the day.'

”Fuck” Geth mumbled under his breath. The fire might not make it past that creature's Mana field, but the Earthquake Skill would probably be the same. Maybe it can at least distract it, we only need a moment.

'Use Earthquake. I'll make another rush at it so that it can't strike you when you get in range. Last resort we all have to rush it at once... but not everyone will make it.'

He was very hesitant to add that last bit, but it needed to be said. He knew that if only one blast of lightning hit him, he could power through and reach the Shaman.

The only problem was, for that to happen the others would each have to tank a bolt themselves. Geth didn't think that Zolis, Alise, or Filthy would be able to take a hit head-on. At that range, the blasts were too fast to dodge.

He noticed that Hulk rushed in with him as both sprinted towards the Shaman. Zolis followed some five yards or so behind them.

Once they reached the ten-yard mark, three blasts of lightning shot towards both him and Hulk, he threw up a Barrier to tank two of them. The Barrier shattered as each of them took two blasts, slinging them both backward for a distance.

It still gave Zolis the time she needed to use her Skill. The earth began rumbling as it cracked and busted apart. Ripples shot out across the ground, debris following closely behind.

Everyone got ready to close in on the Boss as the waves of earth began closing in. Just as the ripples made it within five yards of the creature, they suddenly vanished. It was as if they were never there in the first place.

”Shit!”

Geth knew that the Shaman was well within her range. The disruption in the Mana must have protected it from her ability.

'Alright, there is only one way left to disrupt it.' Geth sent out to the others. 'Filthy, Zolis, Alise... I'll be as fast as I can and get Barriers in front of you to tank the damage from the lightning.

You're the fastest, so it will be up to you to strike it before the wave hits. Don't take any unnecessary risks, my Barriers can only block two strikes at most.'

'Right.'

'Got it.'

'No problem.'

'Then we'll go as soon as we dodge the next wave.' Geth sent out.
