Chapter 78 - Reverse aggression and outcome of the match (1/2)
It’s nice to see some familiar faces in the comment section right after uploading the first chapter in months.
Anyway, here’s another chapter for today, enjoy.
I don’t have any other options than this one at this point!
When Tobi started retreating I had already assumed the worst and started casting the spell, so I should probably make it in time…!
Or rather, please let me make it in time, if I don’t, it’ll be over for us!
Yumir started shouting while flustered.
「Hind!」 (Yumir)
「Cover your head that is treated as a vital part of the body with your arms, then don’t take a single step! The arrows will rain down randomly, so it’s more dangerous if you move!」 (Hind)
「Isn’t there any other option!?」 (Yumir)
「None! Pray!」 (Hind)
The gem on the staff increased in brightness.
When the crimson arrow that Mitsuyoshi-san nocked reached the heavens…countless arrows rained down on us.
Then, just before the first arrow hit, the light from the staff was released and dropped towards the ground.
「Nuaaaaaaaaaah!!」 (Yumir)
「Adadadada!!? It huuuuuuuuuurts!!」 (Hind)
My vision kept flickering.
The arrow effects were relentless and the sound effects buzzed incessantly in my earlobes.
I can’t get used to this no matter how many times I’ve taken it!
A few people from the audience that were cheering for us covering their faces entered my field of view, but that’s understandable.
With the current game balance, other than a heavy warrior with good equipment would usually get incapacitated by Arrow Rain.
…However, we still hadn’t died.
Seems like I made it somehow…
From under our feet, a soft white light was being released upwards, in the opposite direction of the Arrow Rain.
This light that came from 『Area Heal』 had made it so that we narrowly escaped death right now.
If I were to say that the timing in which I released was barely in time, the amount of MP needed to release it was also barely enough.
When it comes to the damage and healing, our HP had kept going up and down repeatedly, but it seems like the amount of HP healed was higher.
Though each time my HP turned red which meant that I was barely alive, I lost a couple years of my life span.
「――――、――――! ――――――!!」
Then, in the few seconds until Arrow Rain was over, I quickly gave Yumir some instructions.
I’m not sure if she got what I told her right with all the sound effects of the arrows, but Yumir’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit and she nodded.
Just when there were only a few moments left on 『Area Heal』, 『Arrow Rain』 ended up finishing first.
The next moment-
「I saw it coming!」 (Yumir)
Yumir sent the incoming arrow flying with her gauntlet.
This 『Area Heal』 shouldn’t have been within their calculations, but Mitsuyoshi-san nocked another arrow without showing signs of agitation.
As expected, he’s calm.
However, within their duo, Tobi who saw us survive the 『Arrow Rain』 was left speechless.
Sorry but…I don’t plan to let this chance get away.
「Run!」 (Hind)
「Oooooooooooooh!!」 (Yumir)
The moment after 『Area Heal』 was gone, Yumir started running while releasing sparks from her aura.
After being bombarded by 『Arrow Rain』, Yumir’s MP was now full and her HP was recovered to around 60% due to 『Area Heal』.
The moment she reached the place they were at, it wasn’t Tobi…but Mitsuyoshi-san who she released a 『Slash』 at.
Unfortunately he dodged it, but having his expression warped, Mitsuyoshi-san took a big back step and she followed after him.
I had followed after Yumir and hit Tobi, who tried to follow up in a panic, with all my strength on the side of his face with my staff.
「-Kh!?」 (Tobi)
His slender body fell over sideways, using the momentum created by him rolling over, he placed a hand on top of the stage and stood up.
He’s like an acrobat…
However, I kept blocking his path and wielded my staff.
「Well then, take up your weapons Tobi. I’m your opponent.」 (Hind)
「H-Hind-dono…!」 (Tobi)
Even though he was still agitated, Tobi gave up on providing assistance to Mitsuyoshi-san and took up his dual blades.
