805 One more attack (1/2)
Even though the Blades could copy more than one ability, only one ability could be used at any given time. However with two of them, they could cover each other's backs quite easily as they used different abilities. The earth ability was used for defence, while fire and lightning was used for attacks.
”I'm getting sick and tired of these walls of earth!” Chris shouted.
Watching Chris fight, Oscar was starting to wonder something. He was sure that the weapons Chris was using right now were the same ones that he had clashed briefly with before, the only thing was, they seemed to be weaker in Chris's hands.
'Does he not know how to use them properly?'
While not thinking about his MC points, Chris's impatient nature caused him to rush in extending his two blades.
'I've finally recovered to do this again, and this time it's going to be a little bit more of a bang compared to before, you two better be ready after this!” Chris said.
Although it seemed quite rash, Chris had already been fighting them for a while trying to get them to show every ability they had up their sleeve, and so far, they had seen three different abilities, so he was sure there wouldn't be any surprises.
Once again a wall of earth had been put up between them, and several attacks with the earth was made towards Chris, but he ignored all the attacks, the spikes and poles that hit his body. When they did, they crumbled to the ground, not leaving a mark on him.
If he had just spread the Qi around his body thinley than the attacks would have gotten through, but Chris was paying attention, moving the Qi around each attack point.
Oscar's skills had all come off from cooling down and he was now following closely behind Chris, and Owen had his own trick up his sleeve.
'If I use this, then maybe we can get out of here, but I was saving it for that old man.' Owen thought. Still he was ready, Owen still hadn't activated his soul weapon, however he was unsure if he could rely on Chris to do the job properly.
Just as Chris was ready with his swords, the large explosion over from the side of the field came at them. The first thing they felt was the immense wind from the explosion that had pushed their hair back. If it was a normal human, then they would have gone flying from the power of the explosion alone.
When they turned their heads, they could already see the shadow encasing the explosion.
'What is happening over there?' Owen thought, the real question he wanted to ask, was who was winning.
”Huh, where the hell did those guys go?” Chris said, as he twisted and turned his head but could see no signs of them at all.
”They're gone.” Oscar said. ”I guess they must have had some teleportation ability just to run away just in case, and it looks like the big boy has disappeared as well.”
Chris slammed both of his swords into the ground, piles of dirt were thrown in the air and fell back down on the floor again. It was clear he was just venting his frustration.
With the two fights over, now they could all finally get a breather and it was only then that they would come to find out that Quinn was no longer with them, and he was in a struggle between life and death fighting against the king tier crab.
Over on top of the large hill that had mostly been flattened due to the crab using it as some type of nest, Quinn was down on his knees having expended most of his energy. There wasn't much he could do to stop the water spout attack. The water jet coming from the beast's mouth was a large one, it covered more range than his flash step would have allowed him to dodge and he would have been hit.
Shadow hop also wasn't possible because he could only hop to another shadow created by him, that's why he always activated the shadow dome when trying to use it, and shadow dome was a skill that just wasn't possible to use against the demon tier beast.
It was too large in size, if Quinn even could create a dome big enough to trap it, it could have easily broken out with a single strike.
With no MC, barely any Qi, and his blood bank and flask empty, there was nothing he could do. Now he had wished maybe he did snatch some blood to put in the flask from Chris, but he never did.
Staring at the crab, it looked like it was heading towards Quinn. It had crystallised it's uninjured claw and opened it up, then swung straight towards Quinn and it's claws had already surrounded him.
With its power, one snap would be the end of him.
'I could call Leo for help.' Quinn thought. The system allowed him to summon his vampire knights to his side whenever he wished.
'No, I don't think Leo could even face this thing, and why should I risk him getting hurt, I already called Arthur for help. There has to be something I can do.'
Looking at the crab and it's crystallised claw around his body, it hit him. In the crab's attempt to get rid of the enemy in front of it, a ray of hope was seen for Quinn. When it crystallised it's hand, the crystals on it's back moved and dissipated.
