Chapter 403 - 403: Ash? Vs Estel part 6 (1/2)
[Diana point of view]
How much time do I need to prepare my final attack? I'm not sure, but I do remember both Linda and Seo Ah telling me...
”At that time, when death greeted me, I entrusted all the blessing of the heroes companion to you. It feels like that of an eternity, but I'm sure it only lasted for a second or two. I know for a fact, that you will be using it to a better use, and thus, I departed from the world in peace during that time” [Linda]
”That time, all I can think of was to save Saintess Rumia. My heart feels like they will be bursting, as I wonder how long the time has passed, only to realise it actually didn't take that long. It sounds scary, but in all honesty, it doesn't. Somehow, it feels oddly calming” [Seo Ah]
And just like them, the oddly calming feeling that I am currently experiencing, I can tell that no matter what happens, I won't regret it.
”Behe! Birdie! Bobunny!” [Elise]
”Thank you for saving us” [Zerolith]
As one by one, the strange thorn that pierces our bodies being removed, our counterattack begin, but as most of us sustain heavy injury, it becomes dull
”Dark mana zone: Barrage of darkness Abyssal bullets!” [Zerolith]
”Dark mana zone: Suicidal kitten bomber” [Kucin]
But that isn't an excuse to stop fighting, as each of us stand up, we believe, we believe that we will save him! We will save him no matter what!
”Are you alright, Charlotte?” [Rean]
”Yes. Yes I am” [Rean]
”Just hang in there. You can rest...” [Rean]
”NO! I WILL FIGHT UNTIL THE END!” [Charlotte]
”Charlotte...” [Rean]
”Princess Diana, please! Your order!” [Charlotte]
It looks like she will not step down no matter what kind of persuasion we will be using, in which case
”Raging water magician, can you help me immobilize him for a few seconds. At that time, the blessing inside of me, I'll transfer it all to him in hope of saving him” [Diana]
”Right!” [Charlotte]
”I will support you!” [Rean]
Those two are getting themselves ready to strike at any time, where as other
””Area heal”” [Rumia, Seraph]
Rumia and Seraph are healing other without caring much for their injuries, and Ash begin to start bombarding his spells once more, thing look bleak
”That thorn, it's a nuisance” [Mara]
”Even my plant magic imbued with Avery power wither...” [Farhah]
”And it sting... If it wasn't for the blessing of holy beast, my fist might be here no more” [Khamishah]
”For now, all we can do is dodge and counteract through long distance spell” [Kara]
”That will do. Karon, we will shield the long range attacker, cover them all!” [Aries]
”Leave it to me!” [Karon]
They're planning to attack him from a far, and as for the thorn that's coming from the devil's blessing
”There's too many of them!” [Anjin]
”Can you keep up?” [Saint Louis]
”I can and I will!” [Anjin]
”Linda! Stop!” [Alaric]
”You're badly injured from the direct Explosion magic!” [Singa]
”Just rest first! Leave saving Brother Ash to us!” [Savel]
”I won't! I fail to save him the last time! I don't want that to happen once more!” [Linda]
The thorn keep on searching for it next pray, while we are constantly cutting it apart. Good thing Ash didn't imbued it with any of his spell, or that will cause us all extra trouble
”!” [Ash?]
”Everyone! Protect Charlotte!” [Khamishah]
Charlotte begin charging up all of her spell, as countless magic circle keep intersecting with one another, keep boosting the power of each other, creating a powerful spell that's ready to be fire at Ash at any moment
~Dash~
Ash, ignoring all the incoming attack, passes through all of them, all the while the miasma of the devil attack those whom he passes through
”Fool!” [Khamishah]
Mrs Saga quickly grab one of the many thorn, even when the spikes of the thorn keep getting larger and longer, piercing her muscle
””Shield”” [Karon, Aries]
Through shield magic, both Karon and Aries block the thorn and Ash path, while other bombard spell after spell, but that doesn't stop Ash from dashing through
”I won't let you!” [Rean]
~Clash~
And thus, the clash of sword and scythe, with Charlotte's life at stake happen, but Rean is not alone
””Rean!! Dodge!!”” [Lara, Nara]
”NO! Just charge through!” [Rean]
””Tchh... Be careful!!”” [Lara, Nara]
And it looks like Lara and Nara almost have the same idea as I am, instead of giving their blessings, they simply reinvigorated the blessing of God of Death inside Ash's body and thus
”#83(+*janskK” [Ash?]
Ash begin going out of control, and before he can prepare the next powerful spell to ward us all
”Water magic: Droplet” [Charlotte]
(((Such power... We will be doom if we get caught in it!!!))) [Rean, Lara, Nara]
Those three, before retreating, make a simple last second spell to keep Ash from moving, and a single small water droplet from Charlotte hit Ash directly, before that water bullet expand into a column of water, that's render Ash immobile. Not only that, inside the tall columns of water are countless magic circle firing multiple spells, from water javelin to ice arrow, at a speed comparable to Zerolith's firing speed. Any attempt from both Ash and the thorn of devil are nullified by the countless spell being fired at frightening speed
”Go...” [Charlotte]
”Thanks! I will!” [Diana]
I don't know how I will get through that dangerous pillar of water. I get this feeling, firing off my blessing will be meaningless in the face of this powerful column of water... If that's the case
