Chapter 309: Aro vs Azalea 3 (side Azalea)
309 – Aro vs Azalea 3 (side Azalea)
The gale-force winds pass through me, shredding my back as they do . I hear the screams of Hans and Jade from behind me . A moment later, I hear a thud as they’re slammed against the ground a short distance away . I don’t know if either of them are still alive, but I suppose I can no longer expect their assistance in this fight .
Thanks to the wind magic, the fog has cleared significantly . It was already thin from the undead faking her death and focusing on attack magic . The visibility of the area is now sufficient .
Even though it has been supplying itself with magic from another monster, she should be running low by now . There’s the magic power spent it on maintaining the fog over such a large area, as well as preparing the substitute and that wind attack magic . It’s probably safe to assume she can no longer use any powerful skills .
As I raise my head and open my eyes, I see in front of me a single large spider . An araenie… Merely a D rank monster . But if it can use its thread tactically, it won’t be a small matter . I may be holding back for the sake fighting the ouroboros later, but I am disgraced to have fallen for the trick of a young girl . Were Tolman-kakka watching, he would surely be disappointed in me .
As the araenie spits thread, I hear a similar sound from nearby . It seems I’m surrounded .
“I see… Did they plan on following up after I was sent flying? Magnificent . While thoroughly avoiding close combat, I was into a trap… Then the moment I showed an opening, they attacked . ”
More than planning it, the execution such a plan must be difficult . It’s not easy to maintain a medium distance fight without someone to take the role of a tank . She must be under tremendous pressure . A single mistake is enough for her to fall victim to my sword, so it’s impressive how well she’s pulled it off .
To manage without knowing hardly anything about my abilities takes considerable courage… Though from their perspective, that might be fortunate . Had they known I was a mage, they might never have tried such a plan .
