Chapter 461 - 461: Trouble in Estel part 16 (2/2)
”Let's go” [Kucin]
~Nod~ ~Screech~
Sensing that we will soon enter the castle, Mrs Kucin give us the signal, and we quickly ride the trusty steel bird golem. Of course, the two of us still continue our prayer. I do wonder a bit, since Birdie also glow with the same mana, does that mean Birdie also chant it own version of prayer? Only Birdie and the Goddess know for sure
Soon enough, not only us, but those behind us that pray together ever since the start start glowing just like us. It's a bit faint, but they all can feel it, the mana of the goddess, like that of a mother hug.
The mana start forming small bubble, as it gather around at the top center of the castle, and quickly, it become larger as second pass. All of us can hear it, the collective thought and consciousness of each and every one of us involved in this process. Even the orphans who are not here, I can hear their thoughts as well. They must be praying hard at the orphanage currently. Even Mahsuri thought can be heard clearly by all of us
Just like what Mr Filvisar mentioned, the three of us started to unconsciously enter the barrier. This process will happen simultaneously to all seven of us involved. It feels like a hand, navigating us safely through the barrier, which feels like passing through a thick cloth at this point. I can tell that there will be no fake doppelgangers emerge from us touching this barrier
Once inside
”You!”
”How can you enter the barrier!”
”The barrier? Is it faulty?”
”It doesn't even react to them!”
”This isn't the time to panic! Just capture them!”
”YES SIR!”
They must been the fake doppelgangers, as they try their best to capture us. Spell after spell, with rain of arrow started to pour down upon us, but
~SCREECH~
With it wind magic, Birdie created a powerful wind barrier that not only stop the spell and arrow on their track, but also amplify it and send them back with double the force. Truly, a powerful skill.
”Dark and Mirage Mana Zone: Suicidal Kittens” [Kucin]
Mrs Kucin will usually fight together with her summon inside her mana zone, but this time around, she stay close with me, thus, only throwing spell from a far
The fake doppelgangers that are trap inside the blackish-silver mana zone have their five sense diminish, all the while trying their hardest to block and attack the numerous kittens made out of mana that not only bites and scratch them, but also occasionally explode on contact
(This technique of her become even deadlier with the blessing from Fairy Queen Titania) [Seo Ah]
I have only seen it once or twice, but I can tell the blessing did tremendously improve the spell
”That was quick” [Anjin]
”How was it on your side?” [Jacks]
”Not much of an issue” [Filvisar]
”Same. In all honesty, I feel like charging alone with how little resistance they offer” [Khamishah]
And the other also didn't take long to gather around here. With this, we started our mission
