Chapter 84 - Buying Time Part 3
Chapter 84 - Buying Time Part 3
Isaias was getting serious as his enemy was much more sinister than before. It would take his all if he wanted to defeat his enemy. Just as he was about to advance, he felt that his enemy was grinning. Aura was seeping out of his skin with a dark purplish glow. Evaporating in the air as he was smiling at him.
Just as the two moved towards each other, Isaias then dashed towards him. Twirling his staff and then placed it on his back while dashing headfirst. Even with his frail body, he dashed like in his youth. Speed was of a Grandmaster like him.
Soon, he was assaulted with spikes emerging from the ground. Rotating his staff, he managed to break the spikes like it was nothing. With his skill still active, he was able to disintegrate the spikes. .
Looking at the transpiring situation that his spikes were all ineffective, Gerard dashed towards him. He used his mana to create a ball of energy and threw it towards Isaias.
[Void missile]
The missile was launched and Isaias evaded it by moving sideways. Without a homing capability, it was launched only in a straight path. Still, it grew bigger and bigger and it sucked anything that it touches. Making the floor left to be caved-in with its damage.
[Void missile]–a ball of energy that was launched in a straight path. Sucking anything when it expanded and disappears right after.
Isaias then dashed without reserve. Thinking that time was of the essence. While making his way to the enemy, he was launched with more missiles. He was evading the missiles in hair's breathe and he stepped back when it was expanding. Making some parts of his robe disappear as it was sucked.
To his surprise, the missiles were expanding right where he stands. As he expected, the missiles' expansion were all controlled by his enemy. Making his grin on the process.
"Hahaha! Enjoying it? I can do this all day!" He shouted.
As he was dashing, he used his great manoeuvre and was hopping sideways. Dashing left and right like a fish in the water. Missiles were all expanding and sucking left and right as he dashed. He was able to be left unscathed but his stamina was left barely able to cope up. Still, it was impressive for him while having that kind of body.
Enduring the strain to his aching joints, he used his skill [Restore past self]. Making him have stamina again as nothing happened at all. The distance was cut short and he was getting nearer and nearer to his enemy who was just standing right where he fired the missiles.
It was like he was waiting for him up until now. He dashed towards him and held tight his staff. Enemy smiled and went to approach him head-on. Dashing head first, they clashed with their weapons.
The enemy has its claws extended and Isaias has his staff. Both clanging as the two weapons met.
"Your weapon is unusually hard! How did it happen to be on par with my claws?" Gerard asked.
"Hahaha, my staff is indestructible. I am the only one who can destroy it if I will it," Isaias said to him.
"Well, that explains it." He said then used his skill [Void missile] in point-blank range. Making Isaias step back in great haste.
Isaias then used his skill [Unending prison] and his enemy was surrounded by a white barrier.
[Unending prison]–a prison that has a multi-layered barrier. The barrier regenerates even it took damage from the enemy inside. The layers were a hundred and can only be dispelled when the hundredth barrier was destroyed.
He was trapped inside the barrier and he was surprised that he was not damaged at all. Thinking that he will not suffer, he grinned at Isaias.
"Hey, what are you thinking with me being contained inside? You think that I can't get out from here?" Gerard said to him.
"Try it if you can first before you get cocky. You will never know it if you will just stand there and leisurely have fun. You can try if you can get out with your skills. And I think the regeneration of the barrier is fast enough for your skills," Isaias said to him.
"Let us get started then. I can easily rip one barrier at a time." He said just as he started to pierce the barrier with his claws.
While he was inside, he touched the barrier and started to rip it. But as he started to touch it. It repelled his touch, making him grit his teeth on the process.
"What? What is this? I can't rip it?" He shouted.
Isaias can only sigh as he saw his enemy be having a hard time. With him maintaining the barrier, he has confidence that this barrier can hold out long enough for years. Still, he was in the race of time. Making him have plan B. But with his skills in his arsenal, he can only seal the enemy.
And that was the purpose of Prophets. Sealing the enemy Demon Lords with the help of the heroes of different job classes.
They were not the ones in the front lines and that was the job of the heroes. They were all in the tomb and they were the living pillars of the seal. Making them sleep eternally with the seal they were guarding.
While the enemy was panicking, he used his void missiles without reserve. Throwing it to the seal left and right and the seal were damaged by it. Even with his skill, he was only able to damage it by a quarter and the barrier repaired itself.
"This pesky barriers of yours really wanted me here huh? It really gets into my nerves." He said to him.
With more time that passed, Isaias can only have his sweat trickle his cheeks. His enemy then used his trump card to make the barrier destroyed once and for all. Gathering his [Void missile] into a greater mass and intensity, he lifted it above his head. Making it larger and larger as time passed by. Isaias can only watch from the outside as his enemy was struggling inside. Making him watch in awe but deep inside, he was smiling.
The enemy shouted with all he got as he gathered all his mana for the skill. Making a huge ball of the black void above his head. He threw it to the barrier and so Isaias watched it while smiling.
As the ball struck the barrier, Isaias made the barrier shrink. Making the ball compressed with his enemy on the inside. As the ball expanded, Isaias made the barrier smaller and smaller while the ball was getting bigger and bigger. The ball then sucked everything and the Demon noble screamed as he was disintegrated inside.
Only ashes were left when Isaias extinguished the barrier. Looking at his enemy disappearance made him sigh and inhaled deep.
"I have met more Demon Nobles in the past, Gerard. Much stronger than you." Isaias said in his self.
Looking at the enemy of Joan, Isaias saw that he was battling his enemy. Joan pierced his enemy's [Fire breath] and was struggling to be able to split it. Just as everything was getting awry, Joan used his skill [Shapeshift werebear]. Using also his skill [Spirit armor] while in the air. Glowing runes of druid language emitted from the armor and was in bright white.
Preparing to use his skill [Hand slam] while hands above his head and roared at him, he used his skill [Gigantism].
[Gigantism]–a skill of Werebear form that makes his body become of a giant. Strength and Vitality shoot up as long as the skill was active.
Bang!
Using his skill Hand slam on the enemy, the Demon General's head was hit and its head was buried on the tomb's floor on the process. Dust flew all over the place and Joan then landed on the floor and roared at his enemy.
Roar!!!
