Chapter 52: You don't use the pyromaniac's flas
"It must be hard to move with my flas raging around. Go in the direction the second arrow had co from," Reylin said, "If you see him, use taunt and notify through the voice chat. You don't have to point the staff at him or do anything other than taunting and keeping him close to you. Understood?"
"Understood, boss!" Steel lody saluted like the soldier and kicked the ground to charge in the appointed direction.
Reylin smiled and chose a different direction.
He went to the right and rushed with the flas gathering around his body.
Similarly to him, his black staff called the flas, and one could only wonder how good the pyromaniac's mana control was.
Steel lody didn't see that, nor did she care about anything around her! She remained undaunted even before the firewall before her!
Since the flas spread across the forest, those flas were foreign ones. Being in the party would do nothing, and Steel lody would soon face the pain.
It would hurt, but the idea of pain didn't scare her.
She knew it was important to be fearless and decisive at this mont to catch the archer! Should he disappear, the pyromaniac and the masochist would be at his rcy!
"Only Rey's flas can bang on the shield, though. That's a bumr!" Steel lody only disliked the fact that her heavy armor and shield wouldn't let out her favorite sound, and that was it.
Once she stepped in flas, Steel lody bit her lips. She felt boiling, and the fire blocked her vision. Nonetheless, her rush carried on, and she didn't even stumble once!
That alone was an impressive feat, really.
"Eh? No way..." Steel lody felt like sothing went through the flas!
She turned her eyes to the side, and her eyes just noticed the flas filling up the gap within their wall. However, that mini-movent filled her heart with joy as Steel lody believed it was an arrow!
She rushed faster, and soon, Lares casually appeared before her.
He was in a vulnerable state!
His eyes remained locked on Reylin through his mark, and he held the bow tightly. Nothing around him mattered, and his hand slowly pulled the bowstring behind...
In his usual gaplay, Lares would have been surrounded by his teammates.
He took this mission solo, and that was a fatal mistake.
Steel lody said through the voice chat, "I found him! We won the gamble! Haha!" She sounded so happy and innocent that Reylin's lips curled up into a smile unconsciously.
He replied, "Aren't you a lucky woman? Taunt this fucker."
"Taunt!" Steel lody followed Reylin's words, and her taunt stopped Lares.
He woke up from his state, his eyes blinking fast. Those hues shifted to Steel lody, and he whispered, "How did you find ?"
"The gamble!" Steel lody replied in a joyful tone while keeping her taunt.
Lares' hand moved on its own.
The taunt forced players to let out their basic attack.
Since Lares had been using his bow since the beginning of the ga, and he even used it on Earth, his body was well aware of the basic attack. He had that imprinted within himself, and he moved like a loyal dog.
"Damn it..." Lares spoke through his bitten lips as he sent out the basic attack.
It didn't leave a dent on Steel lody's shield, to say nothing of scratching it!
His face contorted uglily, but that didn't last for too long as the black staff's tip lit up in a fire! That was sowhat expected. Otherwise, the pyromaniac wouldn't have shared his weapon with soone else.
However, the color of those flas erased Lares' ire.
"He can use that ultimate skill through it?!"
"Oh! The Red Sky... Oh..." Steel lody mimicked the famous scene, and imdiately after, the legendary flas exploded from the staff!
On the other side of the battle, Reylin strutted with his hand pointing where Steel lody was. He ford a gun with his fingers and controlled his flas in this way...
Once he saw the red pillar, Reylin smirked and went with flas, making way for him!
At last, he appeared before Lares, whose half body remained scorched. He barely survived that skill as his archer's step activated itself after the taunt ended!
He couldn't move further, however.
His body was supported by the tree, and he lay on it with his legs sprawled, "Reylin... You broken motherfucker."
For a person with such a background, not many people could force Lares' vulgar language.
Reylin did it with his broken mana control.
"How did you do it?! I didn't know you could use that skill through the staff!" Steel lody asked what lingered in Lares' mind.
She was loud and happy, so Reylin brightly replied, "I wield flas. My control gets better every day as I am one with flas. That's all."
"Oh, okay," Steel lody didn't understand, and she just agreed as usual.
Reylin closed up distance and pushed his boot into Lares' mouth, "Using my flas so blatantly against . I won't kill you quickly."
"No matter what I would've done, you still would get mad," Lares barked, "You are that fucked up, Reylin. Everything must go your way, I know it."
"Ah, this guy is taking out so personal stuff. Steel lody, could you go and hunt so ants? I will be back soon," Reylin smiled toward Steel lody.
She felt colder out of nowhere, so Steel lody nodded and trotted away.
Reylin's eyes retracted to Lares, and he said, "There was one ti we disagreed, didn't we? That one little argunt made you delusional about ."
"You are Crown. Back then, the ga didn't exist, so I still stand by my point. You wasted your talent for many years and beca nothing but a parasite to your family. Your excesses were funded by your family, and you must have cost them a fortune.
I can't stand it. I can't stand people who waste their chance!"
"Your point was that I have exceptional drawing skills and that I should beco an artist. Reach the peak like my brothers... and bla bla bla bla. Fuck you, really. Why do all of you give a look at other people's lives?
You compare my family to other countries' families or sothing? If I beco known, would other countries look down on us? You think I care?" Reylin said while kicking Lares' face brutally.
He was also quite honest.
"In the current world, it will be nothing but good for our country if you beco known. This ga has already left too much impact on Earth.
I am not down because of it. In the future, we might even beco teammates because you will honor your father's will. We might stand together for our country.
As for ... Why do you care? Hmm?" Lares snickered.
He looked too devilish with blood on his face, "I am Brand's son! I can do the fuck I want as well! If I want to lecture you or tell you my view, then I will fucking say it out loud! My goals don't matter to you!
If you don't like it, then spare your annoying talk and just hit !"
"I will hit you, of course," Reylin did as he said.
Lares laughed while coughing blood, "This ti, you gambled and won! Congratulations, Reylin. Luck is also part of the skill. Next ti, I will prepare anti-mana arrows. You think there's nothing against mana?
Yes, mana is one of the main forces in this world.
But mana is not flawless!"
Reylin shrugged, "Yeah. You can co at any ti if you catch up with . Have fun with your heroes and work for the Blue Rose Kingdom. I won't say bye. I will do the 'bye'."
Reylin's leg lit up in flas, and those devoured Lares.
Lares left his last words, "It's not over for our guild! Until the next ti, Reylin!"
[You have killed Lares.]
"Tsk... Talkative enemies are a pain in the ass," Reylin whispered, then returned to Steel lody's side.
On their reunion, Steel lody scratched the back of her hair, "I forgot to shout, 'Showti'. Sorry!"
"Hah. I don't mind."
-
In real life, Lares took his VR Helt off.
He didn't return to the battlefield due to a few things.
Two main reasons were the travel ti and his father's plan.
"It will be over soon..." Lares whispered, then took the bow and went to train in his personal dojo.
He didn't change his clothes and just grasped the bow.
After he pulled the bowstring, Lares let out three consecutive arrows.
Those arrows landed on the board, and his eyes narrowed with disappointnt.
After a few more arrows, Lares' mother entered the dojo.
She was pretty surprised to see him here, "Aren't you in an important battle? Did you two lose?" She asked worriedly.
"Father is still up. And why did you co here, mom?"
"I thought I would clean your dojo, at least. You live alone in such a big house."
"Let's clean it together..." Lares sighed and went to help.
His mother peeked at the board after hearing his sigh, "Your archery got even better!" She said, but that was a blatant lie.
Lares knew it as his mother didn't know about archery at all, "Thanks."
"Don't look so dejected... If your brother was alive, you two would have pushed yourselves to the limits and win the worldwide competition. I am sure of it!"
"He had talent. I do not have it."
"You love archery as much if not more than him."
"Mom... You don't know, but he gave up on archery a year before his death."
"What?"
"..."
