Villain Ch 791. We Are Going to Die!
Meanwhile, Allen, Azura, and Red_King danced through the fray, their movements fueled by instinct and adrenaline as they dodged and weaved between the falling tombstones and the relentless attacks of the puppets. With every step, they risked being struck down by the deadly onslaught, their bodies battered and bruised.
Despite their best efforts, the sheer intensity of the assault began to take its toll, their focus waning as exhaustion threatened to overtake them. Several times, they narrowly avoided being struck by the deadly claws of the puppets, their hearts racing as they fought to stay one step ahead of their relentless foes.
The chaos raged around them. They knew that they could not afford to falter. With every ounce of strength and determination they possessed, they pressed forward, their minds focused on one thing and one thing only—survival.
But even as they fought with all their might, a sense of despair lingered in the air.
“We have to do something or we are going to die!” Bored Hunter’s panicked voice cut through the chaos, his words echoing in the air like a desperate plea for salvation. He swept his gaze around to look for a way to escape or maybe everything that could be a way out.
“Shut up! I’m thinking!” Arcana snapped back, his tone tinged with frustration as he struggled to formulate a plan amidst the chaos that surrounded them. He still raised his shield high to protect his body.
Amidst the chaos of the relentless assault, Allen’s mind raced as he searched for a way to turn the tide of battle in their favor. He knew that with their current situation, they were facing an opponent unlike any they had encountered before.
In his former guise as the devil emperor, such adversaries would have been easy to dispatch, but now, confined to the limitations of his assassin class, he found himself grappling with the challenge of how to maximize his power. He knew this was a new challenge for him.
Beside him, Azura and Red_King fought valiantly. They too were searching for a way out of the seemingly insurmountable predicament they found themselves in, their minds working overtime as they strategized and plotted their next move.
“We can’t hold it any longer! The barrier’s gonna break!” Bored Hunter’s frantic shouts rang out above the din of battle, his panic evident. While Greatest Healer and Father^Alex worked tirelessly to maintain their protective barrier, their skills stretched to the limit.
‘What to do. What to do. What to do,’ thought Allen, his mind racing as he sought a solution to their dire predicament. It was no easy task to think clearly amidst the chaos of battle, especially when dodging attacks from all directions demanded his full attention.
But then, amidst the flurry of strings emanating from Gheppetto’s hands, a glimmer of inspiration struck.
“His strings! Cut his strings!” Allen’s voice rang out above the clamor of battle.
With a swift motion, he withdrew several of his knives from their sheaths, his trained eyes scanning the tangled web of strings that connected Gheppetto to his malevolent creations. With precise aim, he launched his knives towards the nearest strings, the sharp edges slicing through the air.
But even as Allen’s knives found their mark, severing several of the strings in a shower of sparks, it quickly became apparent that his efforts alone would not be enough to sever Gheppetto’s connection to his puppets. There were simply too many strings that seemed to stretch endlessly in every direction.
Azura bravely attempted to carry out his plan amidst the chaos of battle. She too began to swing her blades, her movements fluid and agile as she sought to cut through the thick web of strings.
But as Azura deftly dodged the relentless assaults of the puppets, their claws lashing out with ferocious speed, she found herself unable to evade every blow. Two of the puppets’ attacks found their mark, their jagged claws tearing through her defenses and leaving deep gashes upon her flesh.
On the other side, Arcana gripped his shield tightly. With a powerful thrust of his arm, he sent his shield hurtling through the air like a deadly projectile, the polished surface gleaming in the dim light as it spun towards its target with lethal precision.
The shield soared towards Gheppetto, its razor-sharp edges sliced through the air with a menacing whir, its trajectory carefully calculated to intersect with the dense network of strings that bound their enemy. With a resounding clang, the shield struck its mark.
The shield’s spinning motion allowed it to slice through multiple strings at once, its razor-sharp edges shearing through the thick web with ease. The strings snapped and fell away.
With each severed string, Gheppetto’s control over his puppets faltered, their movements becoming sluggish and disjointed as they struggled to break free from their entanglement. It also immobilized several tombstones that had been bearing down on them.
The sudden shift in momentum caught Gheppetto off guard, his expression contorted in a mixture of shock and fury as he realized that his hold over his creations was slipping away.
Realizing the chance, Allen turned to Father^Alex and Greatest Healer.
“We need to trap them inside the barrier!” Allen shouted over the din of battle, his voice ringing out with urgency. As he spoke, he ran to Father^Alex and Greatest Healer. His blades whirled through the air as he struck out at any puppet that dared to draw near.
Without hesitation, the two priests nodded in understanding, their expressions resolute as they prepared to execute Allen’s plan. They conjured a powerful barrier around Gheppetto. The barrier shimmered into existence, forming a protective shield that encased their enemies in a glowing dome of energy.
With Gheppetto ensnared within the confines of their barrier, his strings couldn’t reach his puppets or the tombstones anymore. It should be enough to immobilize him. But the problem was the barrier also protected him, so they couldn’t attack him either.
