Chapter 100: Mother of Deception (Rewritten)
Within an instant, the frosty weapons were upon them.
A myriad of diverse blades were launched forward, their edge promising an icy demise. Sunny dove into the shadows, rapidly moving forward as the blades failed to connect with his intangible form.
However, they were too overwhelming for everyone else.
Twirling his spear, Dan Heng skillfully parried the oncoming projectiles, barely withstanding against the endless bombardment. Although he failed to block some of them, they shattered moments before piercing him, blocked by an amber barrier that kept crumbling and reforming.
Meanwhile, March did not have a difficult time avoiding the ice constructs. Due to her Aspect, her physical capabilities were nearly unmatched within the frigid confines of Jarilo-VI — especially because she was manually lowering the temperature. Not only that, but Bronya had shared her augmentations with everyone.
So, with her bow in hand, March was able to swiftly maneuver around the insidious weaponry. She was even able to take some shots while under fire; an extraordinary feat of dexterity.
Of course, Cocolia easily swatted any arrows aside.
As for Bronya... she wasn’t as strong or fast as Dan Heng and March, and she couldn’t turn intangible like Sunny. By all means, she should have succumbed to the opening salvo.
However, she had her own advantages in this situation.
First of all, her ability to perceive the world around her was highly superior to others, being able to count the individual hairs on a person’s head, or the tastebuds of a person’s tongue. Naturally, this ability extended to battle, allowing her to read attacks, and react much faster than most.
Unfortunately, no matter how supreme one’s cognitive abilities are, physical abilities will always serve as a limiting factor.
