Chapter 258: Love Game - Cacophony - Cassiel
Feather-plucking bastard!
Jassiel’s cheap shot at the start of the match was infuriating. So was the fact he was using interchange collars on his Elevated.
Ugh... I completely forgot to warn them. But Ozzy and Rain can take care of themselves.
The pair of interchange collars basically let Jassiel control the mana of his Elevated, which meant he could feed them his own mana or draw on theirs as needed.
Such a thing required a high degree of similarity in mana, to begin with. Cassie wouldn’t have put it past Jassiel to modify his own squad’s mana aspects, just so he could use them like batteries. The odds of three people coming together with instantly compatible mana were vanishingly small.
Just like the odds of Jassiel letting her get a spell in edge-wise.
Most angelic mages were expected to act in a support role to less magically gifted fighters, but Jassiel’s teams seemed to be all warriors. It wasn’t that such squads weren’t useful, but more that the particulars of Jassiel’s war form were antithetical to Cassie’s magiform.
His speed meant she had to constantly be on her guard for his attacks. His strength meant that she couldn’t put too much into offense when she needed her shields up. And his weapon was exactly the sort of annoyance that kept Cassiel constantly interdicting his strikes against her team.
Not that her team was doing too badly.
Ozzy’s performance was actually quite admirable. There was an extra spring in his step and a bit more flutter to his wings.
Rain, however...
