Chapter 310 - Going All Out (2/2)

”Regarding the third step, aren't you going to cast a defensive skill as well?” Horell asked, feeling that something about the third step was off. But rather than obtaining a straightforward response from Argentum, he instead let out a light chuckle as he replied, ”You'll see when the time comes.”

…

And so, as the three waited for the final round of lightning bolts to come crashing down from the skies, they made sure that they were in their peak condition, both physically and mentally. Horell attuned himself with the energy in his surroundings, Herellia familiarized herself with the newly comprehended [True Submission] skill even more, while Argentum focused his vision on the dark clouds, making sure to alert the two at the very instant the lightning bolts started coming down.

Rumble…

Just as the three of them thought that it would take longer for the next round to start, a loud rumble resounded from the dark clouds once more as multiple areas on the dark clouds started to glow an intense white. At that instant, Herellia and Horell stopped what they were doing and focused their vision on the dark clouds while being attentive to Argentum's every order.

”Horell, cast all of your buffs on all of us,” Argentum said to Horell as he continued to look at the dark clouds, focusing his vision on one of the glowing spots. In response to Argentum's order, Horell lightly nodded before conjuring multiple balls of cyan energy, which were absorbed by the three of them not long after. Although most of Horell's buffs were on the auxiliary side of buffs, it would allow the three of them to last longer in their offensive.

After noticing that Horell was done casting his spells, Argentum went ahead and cast all of the spells in his arsenal, only for him to stop for a bit as he mulled over something. Fortunately, it did not take long for him to finish mulling as he went and started to mutter an incantation. Soon after, he smashed both of his hands to the ground, sending a large wave of energy as the landscape within a certain radius around him started to change.

”[Niflheim Horizon]!”

Whoosh!

In an instant, a great area surrounding him had been turned into ice, shocking the two of them. But just as they thought that they would feel an immense chill from the area, they did not feel anything at all, prompting the two of them to look at Argentum with curious auras surrounding them. In response to their gazes, Argentum let out a light chuckle as he replied, ”You'll see once I start casting all of my buffs.”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After saying those words, Argentum then went ahead and cast all of his buffs to all of them, starting with the Wind-based enhancement spells, then the Fire-based enhancement spells, and lastly…the Water-based enhancement spells.

”Hm?” After allowing one of the blue energy balls to be absorbed by her body, Herellia could not help but be surprised as she felt a familiar feeling from before, but it was amplified onefold. Even Horell, who was familiar with Argentum's buffs after absorbing all of them some time ago, was left at a loss for words as he felt that a great portion of his buffs had become twice as powerful.

Before the two of them could ask the reason as to why this happened, Argentum noticed that a change had occurred to the glowing spots on the dark clouds, prompting him to shout at the two of them, ”Get ready to attack!”

Bzzt…crash!

Coincidentally, at the very instant Argentum was finished talking, the glowing spots had finally burst, sending out a large number of white lightning bolts towards the three of them. To be more exact, these white lightning bolts took on the form of raindrops, which unsurprisingly confused the three of them at the very first instance they noticed this. Nevertheless, they knew that each of these 'lightning drops' contained an immense amount of power, prompting the three of them to become vigilant at all times.

”Cast your barriers!” As Argentum looked at the white lightning drops get closer to where they were, he shouted this order at both Herellia and Horell, with both of them instantly making a move as a barrier made out of cyan energy appeared around them in less than an instant. Soon after, a crimson magic circle appeared on top of the cyan barrier, surprisingly melding with the cyan barrier slightly and enhancing its defensive properties.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Of course, due to the inherent force contained in each lightning drop, the defensive skills were only able to delay the white lightning drops for a short time. Unsurprisingly, every lightning drop passed through the barriers like butter before colliding with the ground like a normal raindrop…if you excluded the shockwave that came from each collision, of course.

Naturally, with the three of them having the ability to hover off the ground thanks to their powers, the three of them ignored these shockwaves as their senses were focused on the remaining lightning drops that had not collided with the ground yet. Without hesitation, Argentum ordered one more time as he shouted, ”Attack the lightning drops with all you got!”

Whish! Whish!

”[Blood Empress Decree: Fusion Verse, True Submission]!”

Fwoosh!

”[Gate of Myriad Armaments, Part Three: World of Armis]!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

”[Blessed Water Magic]…”

”[Eighty-One Meteors of Frozen Grandeur]!”
