Chapter 349 What's The Plan?
As both Tristan and Myst continued to focus their sights on the monsters that stood before them, gradually cleaving away the fourth wave's numbers through their powerful attacks, the two of them thought about the buffs Valyr had given to them earlier and how it had made their lives easier.
Nevertheless, this thought was quickly dispersed as they glanced at the young man from time to time. Although he was helping the two in clearing the wave out by sending out a plethora of skills, to both Tristan and Myst, it would be more apt to say that the young man was just sending out whatever skill he had in mind, only for it to work due to the man's incredibly strong power.
At first, Valyr had sent out a tornado made out of flames, which elicited a nod from them as it cleared out a great portion of the monsters making up the wave. Of course, the thought of where Valyr had picked up magic still lingered in their minds, continuing to ponder over the answer to the question as the young man continued to send out more magic-based attacks.
A wave made out of flames carried along by wind, spears of water propelled by wind, a giant wave of mud made by mixing earth and water together, the skills that Valyr had sent out at the beginning were all attacks that the two were somewhat aware of being used by mages, which prompted the two to continue watching him as the question of how Valyr picked up magic in the first place disappeared from their minds.
Instead, what replaced it was the question of how far Valyr's magic could go.
Thankfully, it did not take long for them to find out their answer, which was… not that far.
A ball made by mixing fire and water, a wave made out of earth and wind, from how Valyr was mixing only a few magic skills together, Tristan and Myst eventually pieced two and two together in their minds as they came to the conclusion that he only had access to magic corresponding to the four basic elements at most.
Then again, even though his repertoire of magic was more or less limited, which caused him to unleash attacks that would normally be considered useless, Valyr was still able to dish out a great amount of damage through his magic experimentations, even showing off his ability to control pure mana by sending out a barrage of mana bolts one time.
Eventually, the trio had killed all of the monsters making up the fourth wave, prompting them to simultaneously let out long sighs of relief, with Tristan and Myst's sighs being significantly louder than the one Valyr let out.
"With the fourth wave, we only have one wave remaining." Smiling as he said these words, the expression on Valyr's face quickly turned solemn as he turned his head to look back at the only monster that still stood far into the horizon. Seeing this, Tristan and Myst shifted their gazes to briefly look at the monster as well, only for the three to turn around and head back to the frontlines to plan out their course of action for the final wave.
"Although I highly appreciate your participation in the defense, Valyr, you're definitely making me feel like recruiting defenders for future monster tides is a useless endeavor." As the trio returned to where Damian was, their expressions somewhat visibly exhausted from what they had just done, the former moved closer to them as he looked at Valyr with a slightly bitter smile.
"Is that so?" Responding to Damian's words with a slight smirk, Valyr looked at the other people surrounding them, taking note that most, if not all of the people looking at them had awe and reverence in their expressions. With that in mind, he let out a light chuckle as he decided to sit on a nearby boulder. "Well, you should still continue recruiting them. Though I may have promised that I would participate in this monster tide, I can't say the same for the monster tides that may come after this."
"In any case, I'm surprised none of them harbor any grudge towards us for hogging up all of the monsters." Letting out yet another chuckle, Valyr pointed at the people surrounding them, prompting Damian and the others to turn their heads around and notice the awe and reverence that was evident in their expressions.
"If you think about it, we've shown them that they could still get far stronger." Tristan grinned, to which Myst nodded in agreement. "The fact that we could handle a single wave all on our own, that's something they definitely want to emulate in the future."
"The other defenders aside, what are we going to do for this final wave?" Feeling as if they've talked enough about their impact on other people's aspirations and goals in life, Tristan decided to shift the topic back to what was more important, which was their plan for the final wave. "Speaking of which, do we have an idea on how strong this Tidemother is?"
"Let me check." Deciding to volunteer, Valyr turned to look at the large silhouette far out in the horizon before activating the hyperfocus ability of [Gambler's Discerning Eyes], allowing him to see what they were up against at far greater detail.
Though the Tidemother they were about to fight against and the Lesser Tidemother they fought before visually looked similar, the number of limbs this Tidemother had was two more than what the Lesser Tidemother had, while the number of eyes on its face surprisingly being double than the Lesser Tidemother's.
As for the openings that could be seen on its underside, there were a dozen of them, arranged in a way that formed a hexagonal shape, prompting Valyr to wonder whether there was a reason for the arrangement. Other than that, the Tidemother more or less looked the same as the Lesser Tidemother they had fought.
Though, the [Analysis] Valyr had obtained said otherwise.

"Well then." As Valyr bitterly smiled while taking a look at the screen that popped up in front of him, Damian and the others raised their eyebrows in curiosity as they shifted their heads, wondering what made him say those things. Noticing their attention all focused on him, Valyr turned the screen around, omitting the remarks he had received along the way before asking them a question.
"So, what's the plan?"
