Chapter 351: Reversal (2/2)
The Skill which was passed onto Irja through the Energy Linkage was the luck-based Karmic Slash.
Unaware of its effects and being wary of its unnatural nature, Yordi stopped in his tracks and dodged the attack derived from Karmic Slash skillfully.
In light of that, it gave the energy-conjured beast the opportunity to pick up Axter. It put him onto its back before rushing back in our direction.
As soon as he was put down, I directed the Cure that I had just finished casting to him, covering him with milky-white energy which visually expanded throughout his body before coagulating to his frozen shoulder.
Using the 25% of Control that I was using to grind the Cure's Proficiency, I guided the effect of Cure to focus on that part of his to thaw the frost away and stopped its spread.
”Irja, move away from us for a bit, this extreme cold will also affect you.”
”… If you can't undo it, step away and don't risk yourself being affected as well. We will remove that altogether later.”
Irja said while biting her lips in frustration. Despite that, she listened to me and distanced herself before providing support fire to Monady and Udann.
Since his target was taken away, Yordi's grin left his face as he switched his target to Monady.

While Daisuke switched his focus on thawing and stopping the frost on Axter's shoulder, Monady who was at a slight disadvantage against Larnel was put under a more definite disadvantage when Yordi joined in.
”We have to leave, Larnel. These guys aren't as easy as we thought them to be. If we stay any longer, we will be the one dying.” Yordi reminded when they managed to put a little distance from Monady who's crazily ignoring the injuries she's receiving.
Infuriated with the turn of events, Larnel furiously shouted, ”Shut up! You two useless pawns! The Company was lauding you two for your magnificent skills but a few lower worlder put you in this state? I'm going to ask for compensation once we're back at Gobos.”
”I know. We will answer for this blunder but at the moment, we have to preserve your life.” Yordi acted subservient. Unlike Rowena who was just a hired muscle without any other responsibility than becoming a tool for combat. He's specifically hired to ensure that nothing will come untoward to Larnel as well as giving him sufficient experience.
At this moment, he already judged that they cannot afford to play in this space anymore where life and death hang onto that Core.
”Rowena. Pull back. Hurry up!”
Because they're talking loudly, Monady immediately reacted.
”Hey! Who says you can just come and go after killing one of us?”
”Stand down or become another lifeless husk!” Yordi barked at her but it had little to no effect on the woman.
Monady relaxed her shoulders before releasing a sigh. ”I thought of using this at a crucial moment but…”
As her voice trailed, two figures with identical appearances as her suddenly appeared next to her.
It's the Skill that Daisuke passed onto her through his Energy Linkage. A slightly weaker version of Phantasmic Doppelganger.
Although she could only create two clones, she believed that it was enough for her to prevent their adversaries from leaving.
While the two clones sprinted towards Larnel and Yordi, Monady's voice echoed across their immediate surroundings, ”Irja, Udann. And you three. Come and help me stop them from leaving!”
From the darkness behind Rowena, Yordi and Larnel, three figures with different Energy Intensity appeared, all fresh and unscathed.
One of the three is Yatapa, Daisuke and Irja's silent acquaintance. From his body, his energy was scattered like smoke closing off the three higher world denizens' escape route.
The other two consisted of the Dafirae Tribe who arrived along with Faren and a freed Transcendent. The Dafirae transformed into Crimson Spirit before joining the freed Transcendent as they both spread open their Domain, subjecting the weakened enemies within it.
At this moment, the battlefield was reversed. With their escape route blocked, Rowena, Yordi and the infuriated Larnel had no choice but to fight for their way out.
The question is… will they be able to do that?
