Chapter 180: Bullet Siege
Ch. 180 Bullet Siege
The red ants come charging in from my left, right, and directly in front of me. Since they’re no longer grouped together, it’s going to take more time to fire off [[Kamaitachi]] to stop each of them. Don’t these guys seem to cooperate too well?
I hightail it out of there, occasionally turning around to fire off [[Kamaitachi]] at them. I repel the [[Clay Gun]] that I can’t avoid with my tail and wings instead. Receiving some damage is unavoidable. As long as I don’t get hit on my torso, the damage won’t be anything too serious. I also have [[Rest]] now.
The fourth ant, which has taken multiple blows from my [[Kamaitachi]], gets up and starts running towards me again. Shit, guess I should’ve finished it off even though that seemed a bit excessive. A four-on-one shootout is going to be fairly hard. These guys, they have the nerve to use their numbers to their advantage to shoot right at my weak points!
I’m struck with [[Clay Gun]] from my left, right, and behind almost simultaneously. Ugh, in perfect sync? If I’m too eager and rush in, I’ll be exposing too many openings. I skilfully avoid the one coming from behind me and deal with the ones coming from my left and right with my wings and tail respectively.
The situation is not looking too good right now. Should I consider using [[Roll]] temporarily to shake them and regain my bearings? No, I have a lot of MP and HP this time. If I simply continue whittling them down like this with hardly any results, I won’t be in time for the day of the execution. Over time, this waste of stamina will hurt.
There’s currently quite a lot of space between each red ant. If I’m dealing with a single target, I can use a powerful skill to crush them. This scene could be the deciding moment of our bout. If I can crush just one, then only three would remain. The situation would improve considerably. Even though I’m going to take damage, it would be worth it to beat down one of them.
I ball my limbs up and transition to [[Roll]]. Believing that I’m planning to escape, the ants increase their pace. I swerve heavily and charge towards the red ant that’s trying to cut me off from the right side.
“Kuchaaa!”
