100 Gambit of the living weapon (1/2)
”CROSSBOW MAAAAGE!!!!”
”CHUUUUUCK!!!”
[...]
Evlin started to charge towards the demon leader while he was taking the form of a massive dragon and the two started to destroy the southern kingdom even more with their battle.
Evlin would move towards different spots of his body and release a blast of her triple magic bullet composed of a diamond surrounded by raw energy and blessed energy.
”Graaaahhhh!!!”
The bullets managed to pierce the demon's skin, which right now was looking like a mish-mash of monster bodies stuck together, and actually ended up hurting him.
”Yes!!”
Evlin was feeling happy about seeing her attacks working against the giant but she soon lost her optimism as the wounds started to close one after another.
”Oh, come on...”
[Evlin watch out!!!]
”Ashley???”
The three dragon heads charged towards Evlin and almost swallowed her, but the mage girl managed to dodge their mouths once she heard the voice of her sister warning her of the incoming danger and managed to fly out of the way in the last second.
[Ash!! Is that you??]
Evlin looked at the ground and noticed that all of her friends had run around the dragon and were now circling him on all sides.
[Yes!! I asked Gustav to connect all us using his power! We will keep you safe!]
[Perfect, all of you can be my eyes and ears and let me know when I can dodge and when I can attack!]
[Understood!!] x 6
”Marcus let's kick his ass!!”
[You're the boss!]
”No... We are!!”
She charged at the dragon again and aimed both of her crossbows at him to release a barrage of triple-magic bullets.
The dragon tried to block the bullets with his enormous wings but the moment he tried to close them, both wings got entrapped into a pair of golden energy barriers.
[Do it Evlin!!]
[It's your chance!!]
”Ria!! Auren!! Thanks guys!!”
She combined both of her crossbows into a much bigger one and release her strongest bullet yet. The attack managed to strike the beast right into its torso and opened a hole in its center.
”Guaaahhhh!!!”
[Evlin!! He is swinging his tail right behind you!!]
”I see it!! Thanks Daren!!”
She increased the power of her boots and moved out of the way from the tail.
[He's trying to grab you! Turn off your power!!]
”Understood Lilith!!”
She saw a pair of gigantic hands coming at her at an absurd speed. She stopped releasing her raw magic from her feet and started to fall from the sky like a meteor to create some distance from the hands and successfully dodging them.
[Now Evlin!! Blast the hands with everything you have!!]
”You got it sis!!”
Evlin felt like she was a videogame character being controlled by six different players at once. But she didn't mind. These people were her family, she had absolutely no problem in trusting her back to them, and just like they promised, they were all fighting together.
While she was falling, Evlin converted all of her armor towards making a pair of crossbows and shot two huge bullets at the dragon's claws.
The impact made several demons start falling from the creature's body and hit the ground. But once they did, the beasts simply stood up and marched to rejoin with the body once again.
Evlin started flying towards the sky again and observed the situation with concern. Even with Marcus using his power to boost her attacks, all she managed to accomplish was to create momentary wounds that continued to close themselves in no time.
”This is ridiculous... I keep shooting him and he just keeps fixing himself... Marcus, you have any ideas??”
[Me??]
”Of course! We are partners now right? I trust you!”
[Huh... Well...]
[Evlin!! Duck!!!]
”!!??”
Evlin heard her sister calling for her and turned around to see one of the dragon's heads shooting another blast of dark energy towards her.
”Oh no!”
She rushed to create a shield while trying to move out of the way, but the blast was too fast and powerful. The impact managed to bypass her defense and damaged her body.
”Kyaahhhh!!!”
[Evlin!!!] x 7
She was knocked out for a second but the voices of all of her friends helped her recover and wake up. She realized she was falling at a crazy speed and started to release raw magic from her boots again to return to the air.
”Oh my God, that was close!!”
Marcus was also relieved from seeing that his new friend was ok, but he was still thinking about how they could take this thing down.
[I don't know what to do... Blessed energy is the only thing that can harm demons, but his real body is hidden beneath all that mass of creatures...]
”How do we reach the real body?”
[We need to remove the source of his power.]
”The source of his power?”
[My mother once told me that the reason my father couldn't defeat the demon leader was because he had some kind of sword that continued to give him power while healing his wounds.]
”The sword!! He's using the sword to boost his power?”
[I think so! If we remove the sword we might have a chance!]
”But how do we-”
[Evlin!!! Dodge!!!] x 6
”!!!”
Evlin heard her friends calling her attention and looked around to notice that all three dragon heads, both of his arms, and even his tail were coming at her from all directions.
”Dodge?? Dodge where??”
She changed her armor into a cocoon in panic and covered her whole body with it to receive the impact from all six attacks.
”Gaaahhhh!!”
She was smashed between all the parts of the demon that were coming at her and began to drop from the sky again.
She fell on the snow and felt her whole body being covered in pain from head to toe.
”That... Hurt... A lot...”
She started to lose consciousness once again but Marcus tried to bring her back to reality.
[Evlin!! Hurry, apply healing magic!!]
”Mom... Just five more minutes...”
[Evlin!!!]
”Huh!!?? Oh! Right! Magic, magic, healing magic!”
She fixed her body and saw a dragon head charging to bite her.
