Chapter 350 - 350: Battle at the New Headquarters part 2 (1/2)
[At the New Headquarters]
[Alaric point of view]
”Alaric!” [Linda]
”I know! Get ready!” [Alaric]
Just as we expected, they will come and attack us when the heroes are away. Of course, we have long prepared for it, but
”They're tough!”
”Without the heroes, we are essentially a snack for these canine devils!”
”Hurry up and block them! We can't let any of them harm the civilian!”
”For the Goddess! We will prevail!”
”RIGHT!”
It's true, even the presence of one of them will dramatically change the battle. For once, their heroic blessing will radiate throughout the battlefield, giving us boost not only in morale, but also in our attack, as their blessing together with our will to ward the devil off, resonate, and thus, making our attack effective against the devil. Not only that, those heroes are strong, even stronger when fighting against the devils, so that's why, heroes and those who fight against the devils, are forces to be reckoned with. Still, that doesn't mean one could stay overly-confidenct when they're with the heroes. When the devils sense the heroes, they will become stronger, as in they're ingrained to hate the heroes. Their power shoot up dramatically, they become even more violent, and they will almost always, focus on taking down the heroes through any mean necessary. Cannibalism to get stronger, suicidal explosion, throwing fellow devils corpses, name it, which understandably, causes those around the heroes to troubles. Unless a much higher, powerful and more intellectual devils giving them some orders, that's how they will behave once they set their sights on the heroes
”This dogs!”
”Help me!”
”SMASH!”
”Thank you, Mr Giant!”
”You're welcom...”
”Watch out!”
”Vampire skill: Life drain!” [Alaric]
Since one of the hunting devil dogs tried to target the carotid artery of the giant, I leap out and launch a surprise attack on it, slicing the throat with my knife all the while using my vampire skill to drain it life force, making it weaker before
”Space magic: Translocation” (There, on the Cerberus mouth) [Linda]
Seeing as one of the Cerberus tries to spit out poisonous fire breath from its mouth, Linda stuff the Cerberus mouth with the devil that was weaken by me. The effect, the devil instantly die while the Cerberus tries it best to spit the corpse of the devil out, before deciding to chew it for extra strength. Of course, this give us a chance to kill it off. Since we need to be strong and precise, both of us simultaneously targeted the neck, Linda with her golden scythe striking from above, and me with my mythril knife striking from below. It strong, the muscle that's keeping the neck is tough, but we managed to slice through it after putting in more effort, but some of the structure keeps the head dangling (and alive), so
”Space magic: PUSH!” [Linda]
A cube like structure arise from her palm, before becoming longer and longer in under a mere second. With that much forces, the Cerberus head finally detached from the body, killing the Cerberus. Parts of the dogs that it tried to chew also spewed out
