Chapter 74 Guild Competition Semi Final
Mineva and Cyclops were assessing their opponents when they heard a whistle sound. Everyone quickly called out their ‘Book of Contracts’ and summoned their contract beasts. Both teams agreed to wait and let the other team attack first.
The Contract Beast of one of the members of Cyclops’ team used a skill to cover the area around his team in the mist while Cyclops team members simultaneously approached Mineva to close the distance between them.
Because of the presence of the water element, the mist quickly covered the entire battlefield; in addition, the Cyclops team’s Mage was casting fire spells to turn nearby water into mist.
This move caught Mineva off guard, but Kajal kept her cool and ordered her team to stay together and focus on the opponents’ footsteps while she and Sakshi cast a large barrier spell around their team, after which they began using search spells to find their opponents’ traces.
While Mineva struggled to locate their opponents, the audience could see Cyclops members approaching Mineva from behind due to the magic cast on the barrier. The assassin’s contract beast ‘Sneaky Bat’ was making it difficult for Mineva members to locate them, and it was also using its racial ability, ‘Echolocation,’ to locate Mineva.
“This is what I mean by synergy, guys. One member of Cyclops uses his contract beast to create a mist, while another uses magic to create more mist. This would have been extremely difficult without the magic barrier, but the barrier traps the mist inside the battleground. Last but not least, their assailant is concealing their position while locating opponents and monitoring their position,” the analyst said.𝔫𝒐𝒱𝓮𝓵𝑛𝓮xt.𝗰𝑂𝓜
“Mineva is in a lot of trouble, Kajal will need to devise a strategy, or the situation may worsen for them as mist covers the entire battlefield,” he added.
Kajal realized she had to do something, so she considered what she could do to turn the tide of the battle; she just started thinking of many scenarios when she had an idea. She directed her team to return to the barrier’s end, after which she directed the two tanks to protect the left and right sides while the swordsman guarded the front.
“This is an excellent move by Kajal; She has ensured that no one attacks them from behind and catches them off guard by instructing the two tanks to guard two sides with their earth shield skill, preventing anyone from attacking from those sides. This leaves Cyclops with only one option for attacking Mineva, which is from the front, but I doubt the ‘Sneaky Bat’ will be able to hide their presence from the multiple ‘search’ spells concentrated at one area.” praised the commentator.
“I’d like to inform the viewers that while this plan may appear to be a good one to you, it also has many loopholes that Cyclops can exploit, such as the fact that due to this type of position, Mineva guild members will find it difficult to dodge large spells. So a well-aimed powerful spell can eliminate them all at once,” the commentator explained.
Cyclops was also taken aback by Kajal’s quick decision-making ability, but they assumed she was still a rookie to devise a strategy with such an obvious flaw. Cyclops’ Mage and Archer began casting powerful damage spells while approaching Mineva to ensure they didn’t miss.
Sakshi’s senses were alerted to the change in the fire element, and she informed Kajal that their Mage was casting a powerful spell. Kajal instructed Sakshi to prepare their combo defense spell.
Sakshi nodded and began casting her ‘Fire Barrier’ skill, Kajal also quickly cast a large barrier spell around her team, and Sakshi used her ‘Fire Barrier’ skill to create a barrier within Kajal’s barrier.
“I don’t think two barriers would suffice,” the commentator said.
Just when everyone thought it was over, Kajal cast a second barrier spell inside the fire barrier, sandwiching it between two of her barriers.
The inside barrier was very unstable; it attempted to merge with the first barrier but could not due to the fire barrier, resulting in a compact three-layered barrier. Kajal concentrated all of her mental energy on stabilizing the second barrier and was successful.
“‘Barrier Plus’ is a combo defense spell but is tough to master, This combo also requires two mages to cast, making it extremely difficult to pull off, but that’s not all. You must have a very high mastery of the Barrier spell, which is uncommon because it is a low-level spell. As expected of Kajal, she is a genius to perform this combo,” said the commentator. Mineva fans applauded when they saw Mineva make such a good move.
After casting this combo, Kajal and Sakshi didn’t stop. They wasted no time casting their most destructive spells, having a rough idea of Cyclops’ guild position.
“The Mage and Archer of Cyclops have finished their spell; they will attack any second now. Will their attacks be sufficient to destroy Mineva’s combo Barrier?” said the observer.
The Attacks of ranged damage dealers of Cyclops began to move towards Mineva, pushing the mist away from their path. The attacks hit the barrier, causing a loud explosion, and the first barrier could not stop the attack.
The impact was still present, causing a hole in the second barrier, the Archer’s attack had lost its power, but the Mage’s attack continued until it came into contact with the final barrier.
The impact caused by the attack’s momentum shook the entire barrier. When the barrier appeared unable to keep up, the spell lost all of its momentum and was stopped by the final barrier.
When he heard the big explosion, the Mage wondered if they were all gone; he asked, “What happened? Did we win?”
The assassin inquired his contract beast about what was happening, but the explosion’s sound had also affected him. ‘Sneaky Bat’ was extremely sensitive to sounds, and the impact of loud sounds affected his ability to sense for quite some time.
“Let me check,” the assassin said as he moved closer to Mineva’s position to assess the attack’s impact; he approached them and saw a large barrier filled with cracks, which shocked him.
He wanted to warn his teammates to be cautious, but before he could, the barrier vanished, and he heard a loud thunderclap, followed by his teammates’ cries.
“No,” he said, unwilling to accept what had happened. He realized he couldn’t do anything right now. He looked at Mineva with hate and thought, ‘Even if we lose, I will take you with me, bitch.’ He approached Kajal using his ‘stealth’ ability.
The first lightning strike landed next to the Mage of Cyclops guild; he sighed, relieved that he had avoided the attack, but before he could rejoice, he was struck by the spell traveling through water. The same thing happened to his teammates.
