Chapter 562 - 563 - Second tournament – Finals – The last round – part 8.
"Come back here you little shit!" – shouted ClownFrog as he unleashed a barrage of bones made out of lava at the Dance, who was flying away and was summoning some of her single summons to act like meat shields, blocking some of the attacks.
"[Flesh Meteor]!" – ClownFrog tried dropping a meteor of molten flesh at Dance, but she saw the attack coming and barely managed to dodge it by using [Sudden Escape].
"New Painting! Phenix Of Icy Wasteland!" – Dance drew a giant icy phenix that flew towards ClownFrog, forcing him to fire back with the [Boulder Max], launching a giant boulder at the bird, with resulted in the hit….
"!?"
But the boulder was frozen and shattered by the icy bird, before then flying straight towards the ClownFrog and forcing him to deploy an demonic barrier to block the bird that collided and blew up against the barrier, freezing it, but not harming ClownFrog that then made the frozen barrier just collapse.
"Tch."
(When it comes to the rough firepower, she definitely outshines me.) – thought ClownFrog, as he started summoning flying undeads to his side, before then making them go after the Dance, who had no other choice but to confront them.
(However, when it comes to the numbers, I'm easily overwhelming her in that category.)
(True, she has some new and strong summons that I had never seen before, but by the looks of things, she can only have 2 different colored ones at the same time for some reason, and she can't summon too many monsters at once, meaning that they can only work as meat shields right now.)
(And there is also that annoying ass magical girl class. By the looks of things, that bolt skill of hers has a medium cooldown, so she can fire it more than once during the combat.)
"…"
(But she still has that weakness from before, where she cannot handle too many things at once, nonstop.)
(She is trying to keep her distance while also making sure to slay as many monsters as possible in order to not get trapped.)
(And if she breaks free, she will have more room and time to draw an attack, resulting in her launching one of those big ass attacks.)
(Unlike before, I should be able to take some of those big ass hits, but knowing her, she definitely has something new that could fuck me up.) – thought ClownFrog as he continues summoning nonstop more and more monsters to his side.
"Tch."
Dance created a giant gust of wind, pushing back some of the monsters, before continuing to flying away.
(Dammit! I thought he had already run out of the flying ones!) – thought Dance.
"!"
"DANCE! BELOW!" – shouted the Mascot as it saw O'a and Sirius on top of one of larger buildings, before then leaping off of it and swinging their blades at Dance, firing long range slash attacks at the Dance, forcing her to quickly draw an simple barrier magic with her paint that blocked the attack, but also causing the barrier to get shattered as it was only drawn using two colors.
"!"
"BEHIND!" – shouted the Mascot who fired the [Magic Hope: Rose Missile] at the Hera who suddenly appeared right behind the duo.
"[Damnation Judgment]!" – Hera fired her own attack that swallowed the magical creature's bolt attack with a blast of pure demonic energy in the form of a column of black wings, before then hitting both Dance and mascot, knocking them down and making them fall down.
"!?"
Dance saw Zod rushing in, before then jumping and trying to swallow the two.
"[Master Blink]!" – However, once again, Dance managed to avoid getting swallowed by the Zod by teleporting away, before then reappearing in the air once again alongside her mascot and quickly using her flight skill once again in order to not fall down.
"So, you have used your [Master Blink]?" – said ClownFrog, alarming Dance who quickly used her water, wind and thunder paints in order to create giant claws that collided with a giant man eating plant, tearing it to shreds.
"…"
(Shit…. So, he wasn't just randomly summoning monsters.) – thought Dance.
(He was buying time and making a distraction in order for his elite monsters to take positions.)
(Ah….. This isn't looking good for me.)
(Instead of trying to make a space, I ran into a trap, didn't I?)
"…"
(I have 2 charges of the [Blink] left, [Teleportation Gate], [Mage Retreat], [Self Evacuation], and [Magic Hope: Evasion].)
([Teleportation Gate] is out of the question since that skill takes a long time to set up…. And pretty much every single teleportation skill I have left on me besides the [Teleportation Gate] are short range ones.)
(I can maybe land a counterattack with [Magic Hope: Escape], since it does provides me an attack buff after I teleport away…. But that guy has not used teleportation skills as I had.)
"…"
(When he teleported back then, why did he turned back into a human form? Is by any chance he cannot teleport if he is too big?)
(Or maybe he is trying to trick me into believing into that thing being an fact?)
"…"
*Sigh*
(Yeb…. I fucking hate it when it comes to fighting not only deadly as fuck opponents, but also the smart ones, especially against this kind of bastard that is known for scheming.)
(And the most annoying part of all this…. Is that I'm trapped.) – thought Dance before she noticed a horde of flying skeleton birds flying towards her, causing Dance to fire off a wave of fire using her painting magic.
However, after destroying all the bird monsters, the group of Gusted Vultures appeared and tried attacking her, forcing her to once again fire off an fire magic, this time infused with lava to knock away the birds.
But both of these attacks were a distraction, giving Hera time to unleashed [Impalement By Ice], firing countless spears of ice at the Dance, with also ClownFrog unleashing [Beast Of Poison], firing an giant snake made out of melting acid that flew from at her from a different direction.
"!?"
(Pincer attack?!) – thought Dance.
"New Painting! Roar Of Peace!" – light, wind and mist combined, a roar of magic was created that blocked both the attacks at the same time.
"?!"
"Jesus woman! How many bullshit overpowered barriers do you have?!" – shouted ClownFrog before then firing [Dread Fire Dead], unleashing a giant flaming skull at the Dance, who responded by drawing a giant ice axe that cut through the skull and also landing a direct hit on the ClownFrog, cutting him in half…. Only for his body to then turn into the mist.
"ABOVE!" – shouted the mascot.
"I KNOW!" – shouted back Dance as she swung around her brush, creating a tornado of blades that confronted [Devouring Magma], causing two attacks to once again to simultaneously destroy each other.
However, right after destroying the ClownFrog attack, Dance noticed ClownFrog right above her…. But he wasn't attacking. He was casting buffs.
"!"
"NO YOU FUCKING DON'T!" – shouted Dance as she tried to blast ClownFrog with a serpent dragon drawing, only for the Hera to suddenly appear and deploy multiple barriers, trying to block the attack, only for her barriers to shatter one by one and land a hit on the Hera.
"!"
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" – shouted Dance as she unleashed a barrage of burning cats at the Hera.
"No." – said Hera coldly before she then stared exchanging magic spells with Dance.
However, from the get go it was obvious that Hera stood no chance against Dance, with Hera not being able to land even a single hit on her, even when going all out.
But she didn't stopped, even as she sustained a massive amount of damage, to the point Hera herself was straight up at the death doors.
However, as Dance was focused on Hera, the two remaining demon dragons tried to ambush Dance from the sides, causing her to use [Blink] twice in a row in order to dodge both of the dragons' attempts to try and trap Dance.
"LITTLE…..Shit." – Dance realized she was out of time as she tried to aim for the ClownFrog, causing her to try and fly away from him
"[Dragonic Magic: Overcharge], [Unholy Magic Ritual], [Secret Of Magic: Power], [Dragonic Magic: Pride]!"
"!"
"OH SHIT!" – shouted Dance as she saw ClownFrog opening his mouth.
"[Dragonian Breath]!"
ClownFrog unleashed his multi-buffed breath attack, creating an extremely large blast of necrotic fire that spread everywhere in the skies.
(SHIT! The blast area is too big! I won't be able to get out with a single teleport in time! I have to block it!) – thought Dance.
"[Magic Truth: Hope Will]!" - Dance in desperation deployed her strongest barrier magic, creating a giant magical sphere around her that covered a large area, before then colliding with the ClownFrog's breath attack.
"…"
"!?"
"Oh no…. This isn't good." – said the mascot as it started noticing cracks appearing on the barrier.
"!"
(Shit! I really screwed up!) – thought Dance.
(I wasn't expecting his elite to self-sacrifice in order to protect him!)
The barrier shattered.
"…"
"Fuck." – said Dance before then getting blasted with the necrotic fire, causing her to get sent flying alongside it towards the ground, before then crushing against it, which also caused the breath attack necrotic fire to spread everywhere, rotting and melting everything it had touched, completely obliterating the entire area where Dance had landed.
"…"
(If she lived through this, I'm calling this an bullshit.)
