Chapter 202: Rampage (1/2)
(BAAANNNNNNGGG!)
After Sistela's warning, a loud explosion followed immediately which caused another cloud of smoke to erupt in an instance.
Cinde and Rea stared at the smoke with wide eyes and mouth agape. Crimson was nowhere to be seen.
Basically, inside the smoke.
Rea glances at the entrance to check if Crimson had respawned. But the entrance was as empty as it used to be.
'He's still alive even with that attack?' Rea asked herself. 'The cause of the explosion…? Wait, what was the cause of it?' She was baffled.
In a sense, there wasn't supposed to be an explosion. After all, it was a charging attack using blade-like fins and boomerangs.
So the explosion was an out of place result.
Just after she thought of it: ”Ella, look! Someone was sent away from the smoke!” She heard Cinde was pointing in the direction of the smoke. A silhouette was sent away from the smoke after a thunderous explosion.
They glanced at it but they could not discern who it was as it was charred and black.
When it landed on the floor together with a dull sound, the body rolled several times before it went to a stop.
Black fumes were oozing from its body.
Rea and Cinde held their breaths. Then their ears picked some sounds of steps. It was coming from the smoke. They glanced and astonished in an instance with what they saw.
”Crimson!?” Cinde exclaimed after having a clear view of the silhouette's persona.
When the smoke had fully cleared, they noticed him standing unscathed from the attack coming from his back and front.
On top of it, they saw some electrifying spheres as big as golf balls around his body. It was the same spell that was used by the Abnormality with the form of a gigantic gorilla.
It was also the reason why he came back at that time to retrieve his scout bee. Because it copied the spell of that monstrous creature.
Now it was his to use. He combined Sistela's mana and the crimson mana to create these little spheres of scattershot.
Before the enemy and the boomerangs could hit him. He fired them all at once, hitting both the dummy boss and the boomerangs.
However, Cinde and Rea had no idea how it happened.
Though he copied it, he could not use it redundantly as he could not transfer the spell to him without his Skill Modifying ability. For him to be able to use it, he needed to use the Third Version Ant-model Type B Fire Doll to inject it into him.
With this process, he could use the spell even if he wasn't in his Black Magician mode.
Sistela notified him.
”Mhm!” He just nodded to reply.
He just made a total of 5 ants carrier of Scatter Shot last night. In this regard, he could only use it 5 times. But of course, it was a different story if he could use his Skill Modifying ability.
The enemy was blackened as it was hit in a close range. The boomerangs somehow had disintegrated immediately.
He didn't waste more time and shot himself towards the boss with his body surrounded by tiny spheres that were ready to fire whenever he liked it.
The boss was still on the floor. But it was twitching and its body was glowing. Probably, started to heal itself.
While he was advancing towards the enemy, he didn't wait for it to fully heal and shot the valley of scattering shots towards it. Luckily, some of them were able to land on the boss followed by loud explosions.
Another Type-B ant bit him. Then it was followed by the formation of another group of Scatter Shot around him. They were in bright reddish and sparks of lighting were visible on each of them.
They were sticking on his body like they were glued on him.
Rea and Cinde were holding their breaths when Crimson suddenly jumped into the cloud of smoke caused by the explosion of Scatter Shot.
Then they felt a thunderous impact that shook the whole room. Not only once or twice, but it was also followed by a consecutive impact.
They were wondering what was happening inside the smoke.
The smoke seemed not going to dissipate anytime soon as they saw it thickening with the addition of dust.
(Gyeeeeeeee!!!)
