Versatile: Alternate World

I thought the Mistfall Turtle of the Damned will just keep on releasing the violet fumes and keeps on roaring without showing any signs it will attack us physically until  Almira ordered me to not shoot and only shoot the loaded ammunition when the time is right. At first. I was confused on what Almira meant on that as the Mistfall Turtle of the Damned is not clearly showing any signs it will be attacking but soon I now know what Almira meant to get ready.

After stomping its small legs or flippers or whatever you may call it,  it started to approach the caravan and that alone is a piece of bad news.

BANG!

One cart was toppled off by its swipe and now I know what it means to be facing a boss with a quick time event. I only experienced quick time events in normal games on PC and some consoles and never in Alternate World but for the first time, a quick time event occurred and I was forced to respond to it.

​ With the rampage of the Mistfall Turtle of the Damned, the flippers or the feet, bah, whatever you call it is now trying to sweep off the caravan and the carriages attacking it. Some carriages are able to steer away before the attack of the Mistfall Turtle of the Damned land but there are also some carriages that are not able to avoid and were toppled by the attack.

"Don't retreat! If the attack of the Mistfall Turtle is about to land to your carriage, attack its weak points under its flippers as fast as you can!" Almira shouted and based on the little echo ina her voice, she is transmitting it to everyone in the caravan.

Then it happened, the giant flipper that was about to smash our carriage is now getting ready to clobber us. I calmly tried to look for the weak point that Almira mentioned. Just as I thought I have little time to even see where this weak point is, a similar mechanic to a Quick Time Event occurred.

Everything seems to go in slow motion and the so-called weak points appeared with big circles on them. I spotted three of them with the other two too far and too hard for me to shoot properly while there is one that is freely open and can be easily shot at without worrying of missing.

I steer the Sealer of Gods and aimed it to that place and pull the trigger, releasing the loaded ammunition to the weak point.

With the speed of the ammunition being fired, it was enough to land a small blow to the Mistfall Turtle of the Damned and the incoming attack seems repelled as the damnable turtle was forced to retract its little flippers.

"Good, Bladeheart! You actually got what I meant. As expected of my disciple," Almira started laughing like a maniac after saying that.

I didn't laugh nor be proud of that as I can't try to even lose my focus against the enemy. I doubt that is the last assault that will be coming to us so I reloaded the Sealer of Gods and materializes a few more ammunition in case one bolt is not enough. I took advantage that it is still not targeting us.

Seeing our performance, the other carriages also did the same as us and since they have multiple people in charge of firing the Sealer of Gods, they have an easier time managing everything before the attack of the Mistfall Turtle of the Damned will begin its attacks to the carriage.

It didn't take long for the turn for us to be attacked to arrive again. This time, two of the weak points are present and as someone who is a bit not sure if it was needed to attack them all decided to do that instead.

With the loaded ammunition, I shot the first one. And as expected, it didn't easily retract its flippers again which is why I immediately loaded the second one and aimed it as fast as I can to the second weak point before releasing it again. It is heart thumping as it makes your blood go and your adrenaline seems to be rushing around your body and even though it is a game, just experiencing the actual experience can still lead me to this.

SU!

The second weak point seems to explode as blue blood exploded the moment the second ammunition hit the second weak point and this caused the Mistfall Turtle of the Damned to retract its flippers again but it started to wail more than usual and the violet fumes it has been constantly releasing no longer goes out from its shell and body but this time, it is now releasing a breath of violet flames.

"Alright, looks like we are now on the final adjustments on beating the crap out of the big momma!" Almira grinned and she stopped the carriage from running. Since the carriages are running from the machine, it isn't going to run without being done so compared to horses where it might get startled due to the Mistfall Turtle of the Damned.

"Everyone, be sure to protect the carriage, we will now enter the final phase and we are now ready to pummel this big momma a lot."

After that, she climbed to where I was while carrying the [Smite of the Fallen] in her shoulders like it was nothing. I clearly know that it is hard for someone to carry it easily and yet she managed to do it. Is this perhaps one of Almira's abilities or this is just something that allowed her to carry it because she is the one who made it? Mystery still stacks up but I have no time to dwell on what it was and decided to continue observing the movements of the Misftall Turtle of the Damned.

"Are you ready? This may cost us a lot of energy to pull this through and we only have one time to do this right or we will mess up everything," Almira looked at me, trying to see whether I am up to the task or not.

"Don't say it that way, Master. I would get nervous if you added some pressure to that."

"Ha, no worries. Adding some little pressure won't likely consume much of your brainpower and that will also allow us to quickly judge just like how you did earlier when the enemy tried to attack our carriage. Just think of this time just like earlier."

As much as she wanted to calm me down, there is no way I would easily calm down like that. I am weak on that especially if something can only be done once, it honestly makes me more nervous than right now. I know I am not the one going to aim but this is still nerve-wracking to me. What if I fail? What if I get in trouble if I mess up? A lot of things are swirling in my mind right now.

I slap my cheeks as hard as I can and Almira was surprised I did that. I might be confident in most situations especially if it was in combat as I am experienced in it, but against something like this where I can only stay in one place and wait for the right timing to appear is not easy. It was like being a sniper waiting for your target to appear and when your target appears, you are trying your best not to mess up that one single shot that may give your location to the enemies.

Soon, the Mistfall Turtle of the Damned is no longer rampaging like earlier but this time, it is now facing all of our carriages. It was like it is ready to go and charge towards us anytime.

"Get ready Bladeheart, I will load the [Smite of the Fallen] to the Sealer of Gods and you are the one in charge of charging the Sealer of Gods with mana."

"I have to charge it with mana?"

"Yes. Earlier, you didn't need to do that since the ammunition themselves are made of mana and they can propel themselves easily at high speed. If we want to replicate the same speed the mana ammunition of the Sealer of Gods whenever it was fired, charging up some mana on the Sealer of Gods itself is necessary to shoot it properly."

Hearing the explanation, I nodded and touch the Sealer of Gods. Compared to earlier, there is now a new button beside the generation of ammunition button. It was the [Charge] button.

Since I don't need to worry about my mana due to the effects of the Mana Recovery Level 10 Magic Circle of the carriage, I will be able to supply more than what is necessary.

"Should I start charging up the Sealer of Gods now?"

"Yes, do it!"

I activated the charge function of the Sealer of Gods and I didn't expect it to hurt like hell. Not only that but it was like my body is being sucked into the Sealer of Gods.

Almira grinned and gives a thumbs up. "I forgot to mention that it will hurt like hell, but maybe it is good training for you to endure pain, I guess? I am sorry about that but please endure it for a little while longer.
