Chapter 55: Might Be in a Bit of Trouble
"Damn it...this isn’t going well. The Captain is driving Colt further and further away from this area...he’s clearly aware that we’ve got Teleport Spells and he’s trying to prevent us from using it by not letting us regroup.
That’s why he’s forcing Colt away from me...and while that’ll take the Archer out of the equation as far as Colt is concerned, it also means there are going to be a lot more arrows coming at me," Frowned Lexia, as she raced across to evade an incoming barrage of ice arrows, before springing back as Arren appeared in front of her and swung his fist at her face, his knuckles grazing the tip of her nose as she evaded a direct hit, before thinking to herself, "Guess I have no choice...I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to reveal all the tricks up my sleeve here, but I can’t keep holding back if this keeps up. I need to turn the tables..."
"Your stamina is impressive for an Assassin...but it’s only a matter of time before we wear you down," Remarked Arren, as he teleported behind her and drove his right fist towards her back.
She swiftly sprang off to her left, his fist grazing her right side before he quickly backed away as several arrows came shooting down towards Lexia.
"Alright, here goes...[Bone Zone]," She chanted, before several sharp, curved bone spikes burst out all across her body, the arrows hitting the bones and shattering, cracks spreading out across the bones as the broken shards of ice fell onto the ground.
The cracked parts of the bones then fell off, before regrowing and repairing rapidly, as Lexia took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Another arrow then came shooting towards her left shoulder, aiming for a gap between the bone spikes protruding out of her body, before another bone spike swiftly extended out of her shoulder, the arrow colliding against the tip of the spike and shattering upon impact.
A new Level 3 Spell she’d come up with during The Irregulars’ grueling training up on the Pearl Mountains, which she’d named Bone Zone.
It allowed her to freely extend out bones from anywhere on her body, it required her to constantly run her Mana throughout her entire skeleton, so it was a fairly draining Spell.
However, it was also linked to her instincts and senses, so it worked as an almost automatic defense...if she sensed or noticed an incoming attack towards a certain spot on her body, the Spell would extend out bone spikes from that spot to intercept the attack.
She then glanced up at the building the Archer was atop of with a smirk, as the arrows stopped coming, before turning her gaze back as Arren teleported behind her.
