776 The final skill (1/2)
Attempting to distract the beast, those above continued to hurl their abilities at it, but MC points weren't unlimited. The order was given for them to halt, as it was clear it would do no damage, nothing was getting through the large diamond on its back. It was best to wait for the right opportunity to then strike together.
All those that were on the ground floor, now had to trust in whatever Oscar had up his sleeve. However Quinn wasn't worried, there were multiple ways for him to get out of this, but what about the others?
Firing out from the crabs mouth was a powerful jet stream of water. It looked like the crystals around it's back we're spiralling around the jet of water.
Oscar then proceeded to stab the sword into the ground, which had gone through it like a hot knife through butter. Then the final large ring began to light up. In front of the sword, ice started to form building up from the bottom layer forming a barrier.
”That's it!” Helen shouted, worried. ”The final skill was an ice barrier?”
If a wall made from the planet's substance wasn't going to hold the attack back, she was wondering why Oscar thought an ice barrier would do the trick.
”This isn't just any ice barrier.” Oscar said, picking up the sword from the ground. Now the barrier was formed, at the right moment he proceeded to stab the sword into the ice itself. The ice started to light up so bright, some had to cover their faces and squint their eyes to see what was going on.
The attack had hit the barrier, but unexpectedly it was holding its ground. What happened next was the most surprising. For the attack was now going right back at the beast.
”The last skill is a reflective ability. It can reflect any attack back at it's opponent, and that's not all, it also adds a little bit more power when it sends it back as well.” Oscar explained.
Back when Oscar was fighting against the demon tier beast in the ice cavern, he realised that when he fired the bullet, this was the skill it was trying to use. The only thing was that the ice barrier hadn't risen in time, probably due to how weak it was.
”With an active ability like that. It could turn the tide in any fight.” Owen thought.
Seeing its own attack sent back to it with added strength, the beast knew it was in trouble. There were two large walls on both sides, so it only had one option left. It started to burrow down in the ground. All of its claws that were positioned in it's abdomen retracted inside itself and started to dig away at the ground.
”That's how it was travelling underground from before.” Logan said, watching the whole thing from afar.
When they all looked at the demon tier beast, the diamond still remained undamaged.
Burrowing itself out of the ground, it swung it's two large claws enraged. And once again it brought back the other claws from underneath and started it's charge towards them. Watching the beast come their way, the group were trying to think of a plan.
Its outer exoskeleton was unable to be pierced and the diamond on its back seemed to be even stronger. Perhaps, if they were able to reflect the attack on the exoskeleton it would have worked. At the moment it was the only thing Oscar could think of, then he felt a touch on his back.
”I will just be borrowing your strength.” Sil said, as he walked out in front of the others.
'That's the kid the others didn't want to join in the fight, what is he doing?' Oscar thought.
Mona had still remained well away, not allowing for Sil to touch her, but it didn't matter, there were plenty of strong people to borrow their MC points off and he had another great ability at his disposal.
Holding out his finger like a gun, blue lighting started to run up and down his arm.
”That's the Graylash ability.” Oscar said.
It was running up and down faster than the human eye could see. Aiming carefully and lifting his hand, a bolt was shot out. It looked just like the one that Owen would fire, so people seeing this didn't expect much.
But when the bolt had hit one of the claws, it had snapped right through its shell and the claw had fallen off its body.
”How, how can an ordinary boy we have never heard of be stronger then the leader of the Graylash family!?” Helen said, then she soon realised that there was a chance her and her group would have gone up against such a monster.
Sil's attack was the first attack on the demon tier beast that was able to completely break off a limb. Sil, preparing the attack again, fired another one hitting another of the thinner claws.
While Sil was preparing for the next attack, the beast screamed again and stood up on its thinner claws, putting its body in a higher position than before, and then something strange started to drop from the beast's belly.
”Is it taking a shit?” Nate asked thinking it was strange.
Large drops of diamond were falling out from its abdomen. Hundreds of them the size of a large tiger. One of the first diamonds began moving and soon after all of the diamonds that dropped from the crab were moving.
”Everyone be careful.” Logan shouted. ”These things are beasts as well.”
