Chapter 311: As the Dust Settles (2/2)
***
At the same time, Edward confirmed with the other Players that most of Aojo’s pupils were now directed towards Gou Dan.
He nodded at Eleena, and she casted a supreme Flash like no other on Gou Dan.
As a skill, Flash was quite useful in affecting the vision of a target in a fight. However, the Players usually don’t have any use for it since they were usually pitted against sightless undead or fishmen which had poor vision, which was why Eleena never used it herself.
However, the minor skill which could already be learnt at Level 5 would clearly be more than that for Aojo, which was an eyeball through and through.
And in the instant that the blinding light shone, almost everyone could hear a deafening wail.
It was not a real, physical sound—but a mental attack similar to Psychic Scream!
Even though Aojo didn’t actually possess Psychic Scream as an ability, the super Flash that had blinded all its pupils at once clearly hurt it so viciously that its spirit unfurled externally in waves.
And like a porcupine, countless long sharp needles protruded out of Aojo’s body, and it seemed to expand up to four times! Be that as it may, its reaction to prevent the enemy from coming close to hurt it in the period of its blindness only made evident that it was vulnerable despite appearances! “Now! Attack!”
Once the Players who had closed their eyes and stuffed their ears even before Eleena casted Flash saw what had happened, all of them promptly urge everyone else to attack. Now, their attacks could deal certain amounts of damage, even though it clearly wouldn’t be very effective against the thick armor their enemy had. Still, these attacks were unleashed only as insurance. The purpose of it was to prevent Aojo from attacking in other ways, so that it wouldn’t be able to tell where its enemy was attacking from before it could regain its vision!
And with the cover from the Players and believers from the other churches, Jessica, who was already prepared rode forward on her deer while holding Sefarim, aiming her at the divine attribute core which Eleena pointed out beforehand.
“Seffie, seal eight. Release!”“Understood. Seal eight release… This is a spear that stood where stars fall; her greatest radiance lingers amongst constellationsLuminous Lance, Stardust!”
Jessica’s EXP (divine power from Xi Wei) hence poured into Sefarim, setting her ablaze in stellar illumination that revolved around the girl and the sacred lance.
A belt of light appeared beneath the hooves of the deer as well, connecting it and its rider and guiding it towards the enemy as if it was a stairway to heaven.
The light was immeasurably determined and gallant as if it would kill any foe within reach, unshaken even in the face of an enemy which was dozens of times its own size!
In that moment, the sounds of the world seemed to become distant.
When the light eventually faded, the figure of the young girl had already gone passed the Abomination.
In the next instant, pungent black pus was spilling out of Aojo’s pierced body. Its body crumpled even as it screamed, and it eventually disintegrated into mincemeat mixed with the pus as the dust settled.
Sunlight returned to the dark skies then, and the major incident tied to the grand final of the Twin City Cup concluded with the peace after a battle.
