Just as we flashed once, we flashed again, again, and again. In the ten seconds before that tail slammed like a meteorite towards the spot we were at, we already were over a hundred metres away.
And at this moment, just as the tail created a mighty shockwave that wasn’t any less dangerous than the tail itself, my big chariot flashed and appeared in front of us.
*Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!*
And by the last jump, we finally arrived over the surface of the chariot while the world was rumbled by the aftershock of the tail, the loud monster roar, and the deep hatred scream of that Curasee.
“Huff… Huff… That was pretty damn close! Huff… Huff…”
As we landed, I rolled over my back and rested there for the second time in such a short time.
Like before, my body was entirely soaked in cold sweat. Even if I tried to control my fear and nervousness from the surface, I was shit scared from within.
And even if I controlled my fear and mind, my body reacted in a different way. I stayed there for a few minutes while not caring about that monster anymore.
After all, my chariot was protected well with that bubble. To save my life in such a close call, I couldn’t help but feel more grateful towards that bubble.
It was worth every penny paid into it.
“Why is it so calm?!” Just as I finally managed to stand up, I noticed that the world around me was ushering under weird heavy silence.
I knew that monster’s attitude. By now it should be swarming the entire city under its rage. But unlike what I expected, I saw it standing still in its place, like getting frozen while its tail was still on the spot I was at before.
“This…” some bad foreboding came like lightning inside my mind. No, it was impossible! There was no such a way to happen, right?
But before I could even catch my breaths, I noticed something far weirder than the monster.
And it was too late for me to do anything at this moment!
*Rumble!*
A pillar of red light fell directly over my head! A pillar of familiar red light came directly from that nasty star weapon in the depth of the dark red sky!
Damn! Wouldn’t they even give me a damn moment to catch my breath?!!
I only had enough strength to stagger towards the central pillar of mine. I knew the angels planned this beforehand, using this moment of weakness of mine to hit me with their deadly weapon.
But what was the point behind this? I didn’t know. Their previous times proved how useless that weapon was against my chariot.
Did they think I was weak to not resupply my chariot with stat points? Or was there something else I didn’t know about?
As I reached the pillar, I started to throw stat points like running water. All I was focused on was to make sure the stat points were near million to make sure the shield would sustain this attack.
*Boom!*
“Damn!”
Just as I was in the middle of all this, I felt like my body was hit with a bulldozer. Just when I regained the clarity of my mind, all I could see was dark shadow blocking even the red pillar of light falling over from the sky.
“That monster…” without the need to ask or think about useless questions, I instantly gave the order to my chariot to move.
*Rumble!*
Just by hair breadth I escaped the mighty fall of that monster’s gigantic body. It felt like a mountain just fell over Earth, causing a mighty explosion that started as a small flash of bright red and white light before expanding fast in a half circle.
The explosion looked like a sweeper, sweeping away anything standing in its path. If I even stopped my chariot for one second, I doubted the shield would survive this attack.
Despite the explosion, it didn’t seem logical at all, but I didn’t care about that for now. After all, I knew the main reason behind that strange attacking behaviour of the monster.
*Boom!* Just as that explosion exceeded two hundred metres radius, its explosive power dissipated all around and swept across my chariot.
I could feel my chariot trembling out of this mighty shockwave. Yet the shield sustained that attack. And in the middle of that bravely burning fire, a gigantic dark shadow stood straight up like it wasn’t a monster, but a human.
“Kakakaka! This is really fun!” a strange hoarse voice came from that direction with a weird laugh. I narrowed my eyes and started to move my chariot as far away as possible.
At this moment it was better to move away from that deadly monster’s direction.
*Rumble!*
Just as I pushed my chariot half a mile away, another pillar of red light fell over my head again. Damn! What was wrong with those angels?! Did they just abandon this city and decide to deplete all their blessings over such useless attacks?
Did they mistake me for state reserves to be this shallow? No f*cking way!
I kept pouring stat points inside the pillar. My chariot’s stat amount was now over half a million. Even after taking two attacks of the star weapon and that sudden bombardment of that monster, the stat points level was at a secured level.
“Sh*t!”
But just as the pillar of red fell upon me for a few seconds, I saw that gigantic behemoth running on four. I didn’t know from where it got these two extra limbs, but it was running in preparation for another attack.
And that made me realise something… “How did he find me in the first place?”
I raised my head and at this moment I noticed what was going on. The red light coming from the star weapon was blocked by my chariot defence, yet the bubble surrounding my entire chariot wasn’t enough to sustain such a fierce attack.
I could see thick vapour coming out from the entire chariot as if it was grilled over fire. Damn! Damn! Damn!
At this moment I realised what was going on here. That monster was able to sense my presence thanks to the neutralising effect of the angelic star weapon over my sealing bubble.
And from the look of it, my bubble wouldn’t sustain for much longer. I tried to push my chariot fast away from the fall of that pillar, but it seemed something was wrong with that deadly light.
It kept following my chariot, sticking to it like its shadow. “Dammit!” I turned my head around before I noticed dense numbers of enemies coming from every corner in the city towards me.
Those angels… they didn’t just depend on the monster, but also over their allied forces in the city to come and finish this job.
At this moment I felt the heavy breaths of death over my face for the first time since coming back in time.
Was I going to fall here?
The thought just crossed my mind for a flash of moment before I instantly burnt it away with my will. No f*cking way I’d fall here! No f*cking way I’d let that happen!
If they wanted to fight in such a way, then I’d show them how strong I was.
*Rumble!*
Like before, my chariot managed to bypass the incoming attack of that monster. Just as I expected, once it got close, it jumped high in the air. The scene of such a behemoth jumping in the air was really breath freezing.
But I didn’t even allow my dragorses to stop for even one second. As the monster landed, another deadly explosion occurred.
And this time I was paying more attention to see what caused this explosion. It wasn’t only an ability of that monster, but a combined effort from both the monster and the falling deadly pillar of red light.
It seemed that the monster had evolved and became able to affect the falling pure energy from the star weapon. Just by its massive fall, it detonated the red light and created such a scary explosion.
The first shockwave didn’t fade away yet before another came after me. I embraced myself against the impact while thinking about my options here.
The situation looked really tough, even impossible if you wanted a rational opinion. But such a dark end of the tunnel wasn’t without spots of light for me to survive this.
The first flaw here was the angels themselves. They were crazily consuming their blessing points to unleash that star weapon. So far they have used that weapon five times. Would they have more blessing points to use that weapon for more times then?
That was one flaw in this plan, and that was why they summoned all their allied forces scattered across the city. They knew they wouldn’t be able to keep hitting me like this, especially when even under such circumstances they failed to even touch my hair, even when allying themselves with that monster.
The second major flaw here was the monster itself. I knew what happened to it. That scary Curasee just invaded the body of that monster. It seemed when I evaded the attack of that tail, the monster was in a chaotic state of mind, allowing that parasite to invade its body.
But who said that race could invade such an unintelligent form of life? Once such a thing happened, like this situation now, the Curasee would slowly burn his life force before finally dying.
So that was why the monster was attacking in such a berserk way. Unlike the monster’s past attitude, it didn’t just run around and had fun.
This monster was desperately fighting against time, before the Curasee controlling it would burn the remaining of his life force and would die!
So it was clear what I should do next. But as I evaded the last attack, I noticed that this monster wasn’t just toying around.
It was trying to force me towards a certain direction, a curved way towards the incoming forces.
So from the front it would attack me, and from behind the forces would shut down my path of retreat, and from above that deadly star weapon would keep hammering over my head.
Well the trap was laid and it seemed there was no way out of here. The two main flaws of them shared the same solution; to come with everything they had and try to kill me as fast as they could.
“Kakakaka! This is fun!” the monster roared in an ear deafening laughter before it turned towards my direction. “Your nasty sealing toy has been damaged, and you won’t be able to use your market for now… How are you going to survive this little sheep? Kakakaka!”
I opened my market and as Curasee said, the market was locked up by some sort of item.
Well… such a thing was expected. But if they thought by sealing my market I was powerless, then I’d have to prove them wrong.
“Oh, the look on your face is… priceless!”
I didn’t know what he saw on my face, but it seemed that Curasee was amused. Ok, let’s consider it his last death wish, right?
*Rumble!*
Again another attack landed from that annoying star weapon. I knew my stat points were depleted like running water, but there was something they missed.
Whenever that monster jumped and combined its force with that deadly beam, my chariot would be freed from such danger. So even if I had to pay around a hundred thousand stat points each time I got him, it was much better than paying almost close to a million with a full force of such a weapon taken head on!
But I got what they wanted to do here. They were trying to force me towards one direction, their trap. So they didn’t care about that issue for now.
Once trapped, my shield wouldn’t last forever… Right?
No, it was wrong!
