Chapter 272: Chapter 266: Breakout Attempt
“Has it gotten this bad already?” Koula sighed with a worried frown, “It must really be a critical moment if the Halfling needs to step in. Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
“Remember the battle we fought in the sewers and against that pile of corpses? I was impressed by your speed and agility.” Lancelot gave her an encouraging smile, “You mentioned before that you have a bomb that creates a bright light, right?”
“Yes!” Koula nodded, “I’ve decided to call it... the Flash Bomb.”
“How exactly does this flash... bomb work? What’s its power like?” Lancelot asked seriously, “It shouldn’t take as long to prepare as the Priest’s Divine Arts, right...?”
“It’s not very long.” Alamir complained slightly, “Just enough to cover your retreat...”
“Of course not. You simply rotate the cap clockwise for half a turn, and three seconds later it will burst out a lightning-like bright light, so make sure to throw it where you want it to light up within those three seconds.” Koula took out a small ceramic bottle from her bag, raising it to show everyone, “As for the power, I can assure you from personal experience that if it explodes within twenty feet in front of you, for the next ten seconds, the only color in your vision will be pure white.”
“Sounds like the nemesis of creatures from the Shadow Realm.” Lancelot nodded, “I need you to throw them about 10 feet away from the monsters, can you do that?”
“After drinking the Mutation Potion, I can do that,” Koula replied, looking somewhat haunted at Lancelot, “but that means you’ll have to...”
“Get almost up to the monster’s face,” Lancelot shrugged, “Who asked it to have such a big face? We should leave immediately, before the Mother of Demons’ reinforcements arrive.”
Koula sighed, pulling several colorful potions from her bag and drinking them one after the other like beverages. With each emptied bottle, her aura surged, and when the last bubbling, translucent potion was down, she was only a head shorter than Lancelot, with an aura even stronger than Bruto’s normal state.
“Ah, I’m not used to seeing you guys from this angle.” Koula had a confident smile on her face, her voice even hoarse, a far cry from the previous shrill and thin pitch, “I can’t maintain this state for long, let’s hurry.”
“Okay.”
The monster initiated another Shadow Jump, vanishing from the spot in an instant. It seemed as though Lancelot had landed a hit on the Dark Weaver’s body, but the sharp sword blade had only sliced through the residual phantom the enemy had left behind.
He inwardly sighed in disappointment, but his Divine Sense revealed the monster’s new position, causing his expression to drastically change.
Perhaps thinking that his companions were not strong enough, the enemy didn’t retreat but instead moved closer, teleporting right next to them and launching two tentacles as thick as water barrels at them!
“Be careful!”
Lancelot called out loudly to his companions, simultaneously rushing back with all his might. However, even with his fast movement technique, he clearly wouldn’t make it in time to rescue them.
Bruto, who should have been protecting his teammates, was still in a state of blindness and dizziness, completely unaware of the incoming attack.
In that critical moment, Koula stepped forward.
Having drunk the mutation potion, she exhibited a courage seldom seen in halflings. She drew the two daggers at her waist and, like a barbarian, leapt fearlessly toward one of the tentacles.
The thick, black tentacle smashed into the halfling’s crossed weapons, sending the two daggers and their owner flying. Koula’s body slammed against a tree trunk, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously severely injured.
But she successfully blocked one of the tentacles, protecting the more vulnerable spellcasters.
However, the monster’s true target was still Elothysia, who was with her two children. Although it didn’t understand why the succubus was present, in its mind, succubi were not demons skilled in combat. It planned to snatch the foolish female demon along with the two children she held, then use Shadow Jump to quickly exit the battlefield.
