Chapter 230 - Lucias Awakening (1/2)
The flame of Lucia is currently raging around the place that even us who are not even the target of those flames are feeling the heat it emits. She held her left palm in the air and a red ball of flame appeared. Unlike the usual [Fireball] and [Basic Fireball] that magicians usually wield, her fireball is closely similar to a meteorite entering the atmosphere of the Earth. She waves her hand that is holding the fireball, sending it to the First Commandment.
BANG!
The First Commandment blocked it using its bony hands. But after the smoke dissipated from the attack, one of the bony fingers on the First Commandment's hands has melted like plastic.
”Tch, it is still not the optimal damage output I am expecting but this is just a sign some of my abilities are returning.”
”YOU! YOU ARE A DEMON! WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE ORDERS OF A HUMAN!? YOU SHOULD JOIN ME AND KILL ALL OF THEM! THAT WAY, WE CAN RULE THE WORLD AND BRING EVERYONE TO THEIR KNEES!”
”Shut up, retard. I don't want to see a world like that, I rather die than live in that world!” Lucia conjured another fireball and throws it again to the First Commandment in which the latter decided to counter with his own fireball from its mouth.
Lucia turned to look at me and the others while she is in the air. ”Master, everyone, my powers might have returned but they are still not in the optimal condition and they are still not on their full potential. I will be doing a support job this time while you guys deal the damage to the enemy.”
”What are you going to do?” I asked.
”Since I am still trying to stabilize my ability, I will be using [Corroding Flame] and set the area on fire. This will make everything in the vicinity have their defensive values drop 50%. And when I say everything, I mean it that everyone including the boss and everyone else including me will be affected by the debuff.”
”It's a powerful debuff skill against the enemies but the downside is that we are also affected huh,” Topaz said.
”Yes. However, with the enemy having high defense, our only way to quickly defeat him is to reduce his defense values and quickly attack him. And while the skill is active, I can't move away from my spot so I also need someone to protect me while I do it since I will not be able to attack, defend, or even move while the skill is active so I am in the vulnerable side.”
”Don't worry, Princess Lucia. I will be the one who will defend you from any of the attacks of the First Commandment,” Atlas immediately presented himself.
”Thank you. Well, Master. I will now begin the spell, so please, defeat that bastard. Dolly? Don't die next time, make sure that skeleton is fully cremated after this, alright?” Lucia winked at Dolly.
Dolly didn't expect that from Lucia but due to her tendency to meet friends as crazy as her, I think she just found her ”long lost sister” from another mother.”
”Heh, noted! I will make sure that skeleton is toasted to the crips, that there will be nothing left for him to return to!”
Dolly have already died from the attack of the First Commandment but that doesn't she is weak and will easily die. She just died saving Lucia and if she didn't save Lucia, she wouldn't have died.
”INSOLENCE! TO DARE FIGHT AGAINST ME! THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS! DIE ALL OF YOU! GO TO HELL!”
Lucia joined her palms together and her wings dyed in red blood color appeared behind her back and seven balls of fire appeared, revolving around her.
”[Arena of Suffering!]”
One by one, flames started rising around the whole place and soon enough, the whole area where we are fighting is now covered in flames, no way to get in, no way to get out. We can't retreat, and we can't surrender. The only way to win is either our side or the First Commandment falls down.
BANG!
The First Commandment slams down his fist to the ground, trying to flatten us. But no one was caught from his attacks. Goro quickly made his way around the First Commandment and send some slash containing flame sparks. From the looks of it, he is now getting the hang of utilizing his abilities as a Magic Knight. Lina also avoided the attacks gracefully before throwing the morning star around the hands of the First Commandment. With the help of the defense reduction debuff of Lucia's [Arena of Suffering], the pure, crack less, and white surface of the First Commandment's bony hands finally show some cracks.
Topaz is also dealing the main magic dps alongside with Dolly while Iron is protecting them from attacks. For me, I used my Blueprint creation of the Saboteur class, pulled up the preexisting bombs I created last time where they are used for the demon hearts on the village of the Elf Folks. After creating a bunch of them, I started running and attaching them to the arm of the First Commandment and quickly avoided the next fist slam of the enemy.
BANG!
The ground shook but no one was still caught and it seems the expression of the burning eyes of the First Commandment is burning more brightly. When the First Commandment raise his hands again, I didn't waste my time and click the trigger.
