Chapter 644: The Giant Figure’s Onslaught
Even though we were finally about to bring it down, the hecatoncheir’s behaviour has changed! It seems like it has regained its past experiences and techniques at the same time as it recovered its scattered sense of self.
However, its MP is already down to 10 percent.
『Aro, Treant! Help create an opportunity somehow!』
It’s dangerous to directly cross swords with the hecatoncheir in its current state. On top of that, our side has decreased in number since Miia was kicked away. I have no other option but to have Aro and the treant make it fumble somehow, and act on that.
“Got it!”
『Leave it to us, master-dono!』
Treant moves to insert himself between the hecatoncheir and me. He then raises his branches, sending out [Woven Armour] in a bid to capture the hecatoncheir. It slides away, sinking into its shadow with [Shadow Dance].
Aro’s [Dark Sphere] flies towards the hecatoncheir’s shadow. It seems that she planned on attacking it with magic again at the point it sank in. But the shadow suddenly shunts to the side and avoids the [Dark Sphere].
In the first place, aiming to time her attack to the start of [Shadow Dance] is difficult. It’s necessary for her to predict beforehand when it’s about to use the skill. Perhaps knowing that she had been aiming for that window, it thought to activate the skill a little faster than usual. In addition, by moving at a high speed before using the skill, it was able to shake off her aim.
