Chapter 641: The Best Possible Timing
I fly upwards to try to gain some distance. Watching the hecatoncheir's sword closely for any sign of [Dimension Rend], I attack with [Dimension Claw].
Even if I hit, the damage won’t be enough to justify the cost. But, rather than falling back without doing anything, it’s better to keep up the pressure. This should also make it harder for it to pursue me.
But my claw carves through empty ground. The hecatoncheir has used [Shadow Dance].
The MP cost of that skill is fairly high. Why would it use it just to dodge a simple [Dimension Claw]…?
The hecatoncheir's shadow rapidly climbs the side of the tower, coming closer to us.
『It can do that!?』
I fly higher up. But, this is bad. With Miia it’s essentially a two-vs-one, but while in the air I'm back to fighting one-vs-one. It’s probably pursuing me so hard because it wants to force me out of the fight quickly.
Once we start fighting in the air, separating will be difficult. If it goes badly, I could end up being dragged down to the ground.
The rematerialised hecatoncheir kicks off the tower to leap towards me. It's using [High Jump]! I hadn’t realised it was this mobile. It was entirely focused on defence last time, so I didn’t notice.
