The Mysterious Black Magician

Chapter 344 - A Sentry

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Relentlessly, the two hunter beasts were shooting water and fireballs at him. 

Then again, because of the combination of fire and water, every time they exploded produced a large amount of smoke. Yman's figure was engulfed by it, hindering everyone's vision of him.

The commentator Mora Liz held the microphone near her mouth.

"Surprising! Very surprising! Competitor Crimson's health points remained the same even though he's being bombarded with such powerful attacks!" Shouted Mora Liz.

Everyone instinctively glanced at the huge monitor and saw Crimson's health points still at 100 percent.

Tsk!

Josie Finn clicked her tongue.

"What kind of monster is he!?" She mumbled.

Josie Finn activated her advanced resonance. She could not wait any longer. Her enemy was so weird!

She was planning to defeat him using her normal resonance only. But, she was too naive for thinking she could defeat him with just that.

Josie Finn's figure glowed after activating her advanced resonance. Her appearance immediately transformed into something closely identical to her tiger-like deity.

"Take this!" Josie Finn immediately fired multiple waves of energy.

Now, not only the hunter beasts but also Josie Finn. 

They finally saw him jumping out of the smoke. 

"No wonder, Jami was defeated by her," Dianne muttered while being engaged in watching the match.

"Will he be alright?" Maku asked.

"Well, let's see what he will do," Dianne replied.

They were talking about Yman.

The drones did not leave his side. They were like part of his body. Wherever he went, the drones also came along with him, catching all the powerful attacks the enemies fired at him.

"Woah! Those drones look so reliable!" Bob commented.

"However, they looked like they would not last long," Chloe followed up.

Just as Chloe said, the shield was finally dwindling.

"Uhh~ right," Bob said, slightly regretful. "Tsk! Those two beasts were giving Yman bro a difficult time. He could not even get close to Miss Josie Finn."

"Yeah," Chloe agreed. "And now, there are three of them that are attacking him at the same time."

"W-will he be alright?" Bob asked in worry.

"Hmm… that… we can't be sure," Chloe could not lie about it. 

"Don't worry, Miss Cloe, Mr. Bob, I'm sure my brother will do something about it," they heard Yana's words.

They also noticed Rea nodding her head, agreeing with Yana.

"Is he hiding some trump card?" Bob got excited.

"Haha, I hope he did." And so, Yana said it with an innocent smile.

Bob slightly blush, but soon slapped his face slightly. They wondered why he did it. Regardless, it looks like even Yana herself wasn't so sure. "Let's cheer for him, then," he suggested. "Yman bro! Fight! Fight! Fight!" Bob's loud voice overwhelms all the noise in the plaza.

Following Bob's lead, they began cheering.

Chloe was admiring Yman that he managed to remain unscathed even in the face of such overwhelming attacks.

After leaping away from the smoke, Yman ran away from it. Naturally, Josie Finn and the hunter beasts' eyes followed him.

They fired less this time. Yman was so fast. They could not fire aimlessly. It would empty their mana for no reason.

While running away, Josie Finn noticed Yman produced another chakram on his hand. He threw at them a second later.

Before the chakram could get near them, she fired a wave of energy from her sword to confront it. It wasn't her usual wave of energy.

The wave energy of Josie Finn successfully hit the chakram of Yman. They exploded upon contact. Both disappeared in a matter of seconds.

"Oh no! Miss Josie Finn was very careful! Yman bro's chakram exploded!" Bob exclaimed when Yman's chakram exploded along with Josie Finn's wave of energy.

"Miss Josie Finn knew that Yman's chakram was full of surprise. So, she made sure to get rid of it by increasing the power of her energy wave," Chloe explained.

"Right."

Bob and the others agreed to her.

Another chakram came tearing the space while bringing up the fast-spinning noise.

Wriiiing!

Yet, it exploded when Josie Finn's powerful energy wave hit it.

Boom!

Yman slightly squinted his eyes. 

'As expected of someone who could summon two beasts at the same time,' thought Yman.

He continued running away as another water and fireballs were coming at him.

Boom!

They exploded behind him. But Yman is already far away from getting hit by it.

Another chakram materialized on his hand. But this time, there were three of them.

Looking at it, "That's useless!" Josie Finn exclaimed while accumulating more magical energies on her sword.

She fired those energies at the same time Yman fired the chakrams. Like before, they exploded in contact.

But a smile leaked at Yman's hidden face. The next second, they heard another explosion which was followed by an unusual scream.

GUWAAARR!

Wha—!

The audience exclaimed.

Josie Finn hastily glanced beside her. She saw one of her breasts writhing in pain while lying on the ground.

"Kou!"

She called out the name of her beasts. It was a beast with a water element.

There was a wound on its side. And it was currently smoking.

"How come?" A mutter escaped from her mouth the second she saw her beast. "Where did the attack come from?" She was certain that she got rid of all her enemy's chakrams.

 In fact, it was not only her who questioned it. All of the onlookers had the same question.

"Look! There's something in the smoke!"

One of the audience pointed to the smoke where Yman came from. Since the smoke in that area was so thick, it didn't dissipate right away. At the moment, it slowly cleared. They could even see a shadow within.

Everyone was curiously staring at it. The second later, the smoke finally disappeared. They could finally identify the object.

"A…Mechanical Bat Sentry?!" Mora Liz said that sounded like a question.

Right. It was a Mechanical Bat Sentry that usually could be found in heavily guarded establishments.

But they noticed it wasn't made of special metal, instead, it has the same color as those chakrams.

They all gawked in disbelief.

After seeing it, they realized what happened. Yman used himself as a decoy while leaving a sentry in the smoke.

When Josie Finn and her beast's attention was fully seized by him, the sentry fired and hit one of the beasts.

"What a cunning move by Crimson!" Mora Liz shouted.

Rea showed a smug and proud face.. Deep inside, she wanted to shout-- that's my guard! But she had to stop herself from doing it.
