An Extra's POV

Chapter 508 Changing Tides [Pt 1]

"Let's go!"

As the Otherworlders scattered, Adonis launched himself into the sky with [Absolute Light Magic], and Justin flew into the air with his [Mimic] Skill, allowing bird wings to sprout out behind him in an instant.

Trisha and Billy, normally melee warriors, were thrust into the sky and enchanted with [Flight], courtesy of Eric's Magic.

Of course, this [Flight] was not a very advanced kind, but it still did the job and let them float. The mobility and speed they would display afterwards was up to their own abilities.

Thankfully, being combative geniuses and experts, they seemed to quickly adapt to this in no time at all.

Eric was the only one who remained on ground, as he began chanting some powerful Magic.

This appeared like a basic strategy, and indeed it was.

Adonis and Justin went for R'ashu--with Justin readying his [Marionette] Skill to restrain R'ashu's movements while Adonis dealt the finishing strike.

To properly land the Skill, however, he would need to use [Stealth] so R'ashu wouldn't be able to see him. This would severely cut down the Dragon Commander's reaction time, especially if Adonis had his attention from the start.

With this combination of theirs, they could permanently put down the Commander.

The problem, however, was with the Dragon General. There was no way Kar'en would sit still and allow them to eliminate the only support she had left. That was even discounting the fact that they had to deal with her.

It was precisely for this reason that Billy and Trisha were sent in her direction.

Still, what could mere fodder do against someone as powerful as a Dragon General? Not only did they not have any S-Tier Skills, but they were also pretty slow and weak compared to the Dragon General.

Even if they managed to make it close to her… even if they managed to reach her… there was no way they could win against her.

… RIGHT?!

Well, the plan was in full motion.

Adonis and Justin rushed towards R'ashu, whose body was already coated in pure lightning. He readied himself to fight his foes when—

~SHIIING!~

A bright radiance burst from Adonis. He used his Light Flare to blind everyone in the area—even those who had their eyes closed.

Justin would have been affected if not for his ability to completely remove his eyes from the equation through [Mimic].

He used this chance to activate [Stealth], erasing his presence entirely.

"Tch!" R'ashu growled, releasing a torrent of lightning around him so that no one would be able to get close.

He easily got over the stun effect of the Light Flare, and soon set his sights on the approaching Adonis.

R'ashu couldn't see his partner, but what did that matter? He would just generate his strongest offensive attack!

"[Lightning Bolt: Full Degree]"

Appearing in his grasp, ready to be thrusted, was condensed energy in the form of a lightning bolt.

This seemed like a long range attack for what would soon be a close-ranged battle. Something didn't seem right, but Adonis marched on, readying his Divine Blade to cleave whatever was being thrown at him.

However…

"Heh!" R'ashu turned away from Adonis, aiming his bolt somewhere else—where there was obviously no one present.

"Gotcha!" At that moment, his eyes narrowed, and his full senses detected the faint presence of an entity sending strings of threads in his direction.

'Just as Lady Kar'en said…'

Justin, who was counting on Adonis to distract the enemy long enough for him to bind him—if only for just a second—so Adonis could thrust his weapon to win, appeared stunned by the attack to come.

"LOOK HERE!" Adonis yelled, but R'ashu ignored him completely, already ready to fire his weapon towards his target.

If he ignored Adonis like this, he was at risk of being killed by the Divine Blade. R'ashu knew that fully well, but he didn't think that would ever happen.

… Not while he was obeying the order of his General.

Speaking of Kar'en, the two brilliant combatants had managed to get near her position through their sheer battle tactics—

something that Dragons lacked.

Interchanging positions and complimenting assaults in order to ward off the bombardments of the enemy had really helped them out.

Combining the effects of their Skills led to a higher Tier outcome, which allowed them to fend off what would normally be beyond their individual means. It was thanks to all of this—the swirling combination of lightning, flames, and a flurry of uncountable blades, that they were able to forge ahead.

Now… It was time for their finishing blow.

"As expected. You humans are truly… predictable." Kar'en grinned as she activated the sole Skill she needed to completely disrupt the formation of the enemies.

'[AVALON]'

A dark scarlet burst was supposed to erupt at that very moment, sending all the enemies flying before they realized what hit them. If they were sturdy enough, they would merely get pushed away, and if they weren't they would vaporize.

Adonis was sure to get pushed away, and even if Justin was not in range due to his distance, [Marionette] would completely break down and R'ashu's [Lightning Bolt: Full Degree] would hit.

That would surely eliminate three out of the five humans. Afterwards, they would deal with the rest.

Eric, who was still chanting, was meant to be their support—

to deliver a massive explosion on both of the targets for final effect.

But, even his own attacks would be warded off.

It was too late for the humans. Against Kar'en's [Eyes Of Inquiry] that saw through all barriers, and her [Ears Of Discovery], that heard whatever was being spoken no matter how obscure, there was no way she could miss the plan they made.

She saw and heard it all; hence, it was the victory of the Dragons.

… Or so it seemed.

"[Absolute Interference]" The voice that rose from the ground was that of Eric, as he poured out all of his Mana to activate his new Spell.

The result was a surging wave that completely turned the tides of the battle.

… An absolute stoppage of Skills within the realm of the Absolute!
