Chapter 200 - Day 2 of debutante party part 6 (1/2)

That damn butterfly, I don't know what he/she had done during the brief moment of me blacking out, but I sure know I wouldn't forgive those actions. Kara, Mara and Farhah, they sustain quite severe injuries, a brief look and I can see multiple scratch marks as well as concussions especially at the head area.

~High pitch screeching~

And now the Holy Beast Drant that is under his/her control are summoning its minion, and there sure are a lot of them. Tchh, I can't deal with all three threat at once. So I should prioritize defeating the source of today problem

”Steel wall” [Motra]

”That isn't enough to stop my punches!” [Khamishah]

A punch resembling that of a cannon, as the steel wall erected by Motra getting destroyed by two powerful punches, Motra fall back behind, trying his/her best to regain back the upper hand, and honestly, it might be on her favor to once again turn the tide of the table

”Holy gong” [Traveling bard]

The mysterious traveling bard, his flute change into that of a gong, and with each hit, I can feel the holy mana resonating in the air. The direct effect intended isn't damage, I mean, there is some damage, especially to those ants as they look affected by it, but I guess the true intention is to sever the ties between Motra and Drant, at least that's the impression I'm getting.

”Tchh... it's chaotic” [Ash]

As I grab Motra's wing, I slam him/her into the ground, and immediately use flamethrower magic, trying to burn his/her face, but he/she quickly covers it with earth wall directly into his/her face, before blending in with the ground below him/her before re-emerging somewhere close to launch a counterattack. I launch various spell to keep her in check but those damn minion ants keep on shielding her. The same goes for Khamishah and the traveling bard. For other, they're trying to either help Mahsuri to surpass Drant or help reduce the minion ants number

”Ash! Go and help Mahsuri!” [Khamishah]

”But!” [Ash]

”Don't worry, the two of us will catch her. More importantly, the longer Drant is under his/her control, the more at disadvantageous we are” [Khamishah]

”Grr... fine, just give him/her one hell of a beating!” [Ash]

”And that, what we would do” [Khamishah]

No choice but do as the saga told me, I'm sure her judgelment as the strongest adventure is better than me, what more I am clouded with fury right now, and even though I'm reluctant to do so, it's better than letting Motra wins the overall war

It's easy to spot where Drant and Mahsuri currently are, as Drant literally stood out among others ant, that as well as the fact that Mahsuri's water golems keep on attacking Drant non stop. There are some soldiers and Valkyrie trying to help her by chanting a long range spell, I guess since Mahsuri didn't bother telling them no, I should do the same. Maybe even trying to go up and close with Drant and perform a critical hit

(Here go. Stealth mode, shadow dive, invisibility) [Ash]

Go inside my own shadow and travel toward the target, enter Drant's shadow, set my magic beforehand, and aim for the jaw.

”Here go, great explosion!” [Ash]

”!” [Other]

”Good! Tyrant Megalodon, finish it quickly!” [Mahsuri]

My surprise attack work, as one of it jaws seems to be dangling around, swaying peacefully left and right, with the last thread of tendon and ligament holding it in place before being violently rip by Mahsuri's megalodon.

”Shadow dive” [Ash]

Aim for the other jaw, at least that's what I thought of doing but Drant didn't make it any easier for me as it commands few of it shadow ant soldiers to enter the shadow world and try their best to kill me. Foolish ant, those who enter the shadow world will have their light susceptibility increase, at least twice from normal, and normally those who have dark magic didn't have light magic affinity and vice versa (there are exceptions of course, such as Elise and I), so that's why

”It's suicidal for you to beat me in here!” [Ash]

Light whips, make it as many as I could, and keep on increasing it. You ant there that try to escape, I don't remember giving you permission to leave, so I'll drag you here with this light whip, and finish you of with light mana imbued scythe.
