Chapter 221: Pope of the Black Sun (5)
A roar erupted as the giant fist of light came crashing down on Karnak. If it landed, it would spell his doom. There was no way he could just stand there. Summoning every ounce of strength, Karnak cast Wind Walk.
Damn it! It’s not giving me even a moment to breathe!
The giant narrowly missed its target, and just then, a purple chain-blade shot toward its legs. Four chains of fighting aura wrapped around the giant’s ankles. The giant’s massive frame wavered for a moment, as the other ends of the chains were anchored to a nearby building.
Varos’s weight alone was never going to hold the giant’s legs in place, of course, but this way, he could at least disrupt its movement for a moment. Naturally, the instant the giant put strength into its legs, the aura chains shattered. Violet fragments scattered through the air and dissolved into nothing.
Varos hurriedly sent a transmission.
—Lady Serati! The back!
Serati, positioned on a rooftop, responded to the signal and delivered a follow-up strike. A long stretch of blue aura lashed out, slamming into the back of the giant’s head.
—Sir Leven, take this opportunity to strike and retreat!
Leven, his whole body reinforced with crimson aura, darted in like a bolt of lightning and landed a fierce blow. The attack scraped across the giant’s light-formed skin with a screeching impact, then he immediately pulled back.
Amid the successive explosions, Varos kept issuing commands through their transmissions.
—We don’t have to bring it down! We just need to make it recognize us as obstacles!
This covert magic transmission wasn’t just useful for exchanging secrets. It had enormous value in battle as well. In the chaos of running, swinging weapons, and casting spells, shouting instructions out loud was hardly wise. It was far too easy to lose breath and trip over your words.
