Chapter 938: First Spot Taken
(MC POV)
The mont those words left my lips, a spear of red energy was shot towards .
I took a step to the side and the spear passed harmlessly, barely grazing my side.
Lilith pouted, disappointed that she couldn't achieve a quick victory at the start.
Honestly, I had half expected them to rush at as a disorganised mob but it seems like they had other ideas.
Aside from Lilith's surprise attack, no one else tried anything as they moved to encircle .
Interesting…
One might think that this is their way of trying to hit from my blind spot but the only problem was that I don't particularly have those even with the current restrictions placed on myself.
No, this formation was just to allow them to be able to go all out against without worrying about each other.
In each of their eyes reflected an obvious, primal hunger. It seems like they really wanted that 'pri sleeping spot', huh?
They took a mont to compose themselves, as though needing that ti to finally decide to fight against .
That was when I heard the faint rustling of wind coming from behind .
Like before, I simply sidestepped and the fireball from Manami sailed past , right as the ground I stepped on suddenly sank to throw off balance, courtesy of Diao Chan's Spell.
I felt my hair stand on end and I quickly erected a shield above , right before Lian Li's lightning ca crashing down on my shield.
I took the opportunity to cancel the earth prison wrapped around my foot, negating the earth spikes the Spell was supposed to hit with. I barely lifted my foot from the hole before several ice spears were shot towards my chest.
A wall of fla was summoned in front of , lting the ice almost imdiately while I took a step back to allow Tsuki's dark lance to miss too.
I heard another rush of wind and this ti I had to spin out of the way as Eris's air blade and Brendan's water blade sliced through where I had been monts before.
Raising my hand, I summoned another shield just in ti as Elaria's sniper bullet disintegrated against my shield, my little sister looking none too pleased at being caught.
Then the sa shield was redirected upwards as another lightning crashed down, this ti summoned by Guiying.
I stopped and slowly cracked my neck. All of the attacks by my disciples just now were rely ant to test the waters. The real fight would be starting now.
Almost as soon as the thought went through my head, I had to leap away as a wave of lightning, fire and ice crashed at where I had been.
My feet hadn't even touched the ground before I had to throw up a shield, deflecting Tsuki's and Lilith's dark lance that were thrown from in front and behind .
Eris had rushed up towards at that mont, her sword slashing out in an arc towards my neck.
I barely reacted to her feint as she pulled back at the last second, moving to thrust her sword towards my chest instead. I was also aware that Elaria had set herself up for another shot with her sniper again, aiming at the small of my back.
Hardening my arms and tilting myself, I used my right fist to deflect Eris's sword away while my left first was raised to deflect the bullet.
Eris did not pause in her onslaught and tried to slash at again, forcing to deflect her strike with my fist once more.
She caught in a blade lock with my arms and the rest of my disciples did not waste that chance, all of them sending an attack at at the sa ti from every direction.
Thinking quickly, I reached out my other hand and grabbed Eris's collar, my swordswoman's eyes widening when she realised what I was about to do.
"Might want to enhance your body a bit," I suggested, right before I spun in a circle and used her as a shield to block all the attacks thrown at .
Eris let out a shriek, more out of embarrassnt for letting herself be handled like that than out of pain since they can't get hurt here anyway.
I then tossed her away towards Brendan, the alchemist barely ducking in ti as Eris sailed over his head, cursing at him for not catching her.
I spun back just in ti to catch Lilith's punch in my palm, the demoness clucking her tongue in disappointnt before summoning several red spikes around her that imdiately shot themselves towards .
White orbs appeared where the red spikes would have hit , redirecting them towards my other attackers who were trying to close the distance with , forcing them back.
Twisting my hand, I flipped Lilith upside down and made her let out a gasp of surprise, right before she was blasted away by my wind to crash against both Diao Chan and Guiying, interrupting the attack they were preparing.
I leapt up into the air just as the floor froze solid, Kiyomi letting out a grunt of disappointnt as I avoided her attempt at freezing my legs.
A rumble echoed in the sky and I had to blast myself back with a gust of air before Lian Li's lightning stuck .
Unfortunately, that threw right in front of Eris who had her sword prepared in a lunging motion towards my unprotected back.
I twisted myself in midair, raising my fist again to deflect her attack to the side while my other fist was also raised to deflect the bullet Elaria had shot.
Eris started to pull her hand back for an overhead slash and I moved my arm above to defend against that.
Knowing that her sword would be deflected by my arm, I turned my attention to the back where Lian Li, Manami, Kiyomi and Brendan had tried to fire off their own elental blast at while Elaria switched to shoot a bazooka from the side.
All of them I dealt with by conjuring a wall of fire, right as I felt Eris's sword hit my arm.
I was about to move to strike her away when I felt sothing hit in the chest with a tallic clang.
I stopped and looked down, only to see Bait grinning up at with her sword touching my chest, the girl having been summoned forth from Eris a mont before.
Really smart.
She counted on assuming she would only use one body but summoned her second persona behind her to take advantage of that. She probable even had more plans up in store should this one had failed, most likely having her other two personalities striking at from behind while Bait and Eris distracted .
I am impressed.
"Hell yeah! First strike goes to us, Master!" Bait cheered, giving Eris a high-five.
I chuckled, "One slot taken, three remains. Carry on."
I could have sworn my disciples had let out a rather animalistic growl at my announcent.
