Chapter 429: Unison II

[Proto Earth 1]

As the huge explosion rung out all over the city street, the surrounding people naturally took cover from its shockwave, while the guardian player on the other hand stood shock upon witnessing one of his team being blown all over right in front of his very eyes. In comparison to the death inside the dungeon which will automatically revive the player outside in the real world, the death outside the dungeon which is reality is permanent.

The only way one can survive such fatal death would be if the healer have an ability to revive the dead person. Of course such skill is available towards the healer they have brought with them, so in that terms even if someone among their team was killed, they would simply revive back to its healthy state as long as the healer isn't killed and has mana to supply such high tier spell.

However despite knowing that, the scene of having one of his members killed right in front of him seemed to struck a certain trauma within the heart of the guardian player. So with that site right in front of him, the guardian player literally flipped over as his rage boiled and his strength far surpasses the maximum pressure capacity Kaido's barrier can manage.

In just one push, Kaido's psychic barrier shattered into pieces, as the guardian player rushed forward and slammed his shield towards him. Likewise Kaido himself was shocked by this sudden turn of events as he crashed towards the truck behind him, before he got slammed deeper into the vehicle when the Guardian literally charged towards him with another shield bash.

As Kaido shot through the truck and stumble across the ground, numerous authorities wielding gun then open fired at him as bullet rained down from above, causing Kaido to suddenly erect his barrier once more at the sudden shock.

But such a flimsy barrier without fully intact concentration was fragile in front of the guardian as he slammed his sword unto the barrier surface and shattered it in one strike, thus forcing Kaido to take a jump back to dodge its blade.

As Kaido took the precautionary measure to distance himself away from his opponent, he simultaneously released a huge torrent of flames conjured from his palm, as the fire itself flooded the whole street and begun to melt the rubber from extreme heat. Unfortunately flame alone wasn't enough to stop the Guardian's movement, so in order to make the player to fully stop on its tracks, Kaido literally turned the whole flame wasteland into a frozen wasteland in a single swipe of his hand.

From the sudden rise of the temperature to the sudden drop to absolute zero, all objects that have durability far greater than a rubber, then begun to show sign of breaking from the pressure erosion that Kaido enacted. Naturally any form of armor was part of the object that is affected, meaning the guardian players armor begun showing sings of breaking the moment Kaido used pressure erosion from the sudden heat to the sudden cold.

This is the reason why blacksmiths often slowly simmer down their crafted objects with cool water and not cold water. Cause if they did, then the objects they will craft will to brittle for use and easily break apart from its corrosion and faulty cooling of metal. The same property has been applied in this fight.

But Kaido wasn't over, without a second thought, he begun raining down lightning and torpedo razor air from the sky as he bombarded the city streets and completely turned everything into chaos.

From this destruction similar to a world ending threat of mother nature, every person that is outside on that particular street, begun jumping inside the building for cover as they waited out the storm that was happening outside. However this was no natural storm as it conjurer has a mind of its own and knows which is friend from foe, so despite taking cover from this devastating storm of attacks, Kaido simply targeted the building that was being used for cover till to the point that they cant be recognized.

But most of the attack itself was concentrated towards the guardian player who was near him and literally ripped to shreds after being hit with multiple attacks. In just few blocks from Kaido's attack, the guardian's armor was then chipped away little by little as the player itself roared out in frustration.

As if answering its frustration, the spearman and the two swordsman suddenly came out from the right wall after blasting a hole on it, as they sweeps down their weapon and cuts off Kaido's control from the destruction happening outside. Just like that the storm outside the building finally ended as the players rushed in towards Kaido.

As the assault got fiercer, Kaido defended himself from the attacks while also casually sneaking in a counter from an unexpected angle. From the fight between him and the three weapon holder, the battle trail spans from building to building as the area of destruction spreads far and wide, while also showcasing that he is an even more bigger threat then the reported player within the area.

From this battle alone, Kaido literally took all of their attention, as he battle against 8 opponent all by himself.

*********

Meanwhile while the distraction was underway, Lilia on the other hand had her hands full on dealing with the two opponent right in front of her as she finally arrived at the building where the sniper reside as she had her clones climb the tower on the surface while she sneak in hiding.

Likewise her clones actually did as they were intended, as they climb up to the tower on its surface which serve to distract the attackers from her real body and waste their time taking out the fake body.

As Edelene and Castorea put their all into eliminating the clones closing in on the latter, Lilia efficiently climb unto the tower with her sneaky footsteps. Not long after she finally reached the floor which Castorea was currently located as she saw her clones attack her from all over the direction. However despite the assault, Castorea efficiently eliminate the clone one after another  which literally showed her skills in close combat fighting.

Taking this chance, Lilia quickly charged forward with her short sword as she activated her skill which engulfs her body with a mist and will help her obscure the sight of her enemies. However Just before her blade could hit its target, Castorea suddenly saw her reflection from one of the shattered glasses, as she quickly rolled to the side before aiming her bow towards Lilia.

But as Castorea pulled her strings, Lilia quickly threw in multiple knives towards her direction after missing her target, which forced Castorea to block the attacks  and cancel her aim. the moment that happened Lilia then proceeded to kick away Castorea's bow off of her hands as switched her hold on her short sword and begun swinging it frantically towards her.

Disarmed, Castorea then dodged the first three swings from Lilia, as she blocked the fourth swing and countered a straight punch towards Lilia's face. Unfortunately Lilia manage to catch her straight with her free hand, as she quickly threw it to the side before letting out  a left kick aiming for her head.

As a natural response to that, Castorea quickly pulled back her head and bend her back in order to dodge that kick, but the moment she made such a move, Lilia quickly spun around and deliver back kick with her other foot and nearly pushed Castorea at the edge of the building.

Failing to push off Castorea off the building, Lilia then charges forward once more as she first threw an initial double kick which was dodged by the latter, which was quickly followed by a single back spin blade swing and ending it with with a back hand stab towards her opponent. Sadly to say all of her attacks missed their target as Castorea was too nimble on her movements which made it hard for her to even land a hit

Taking advantage that all of Lilia's attack was a miss, Castorea then quickly went down on her knees as she strike for her heels with a kick, which made Lilia fall on the concrete fall face first. The moment Lilia fell unto the floor, Castorea quickly stood up from her ground as she raised her leg and stomp her boots towards Lilia's head, But this attempt to finish the former off was short lived as Lilia simply rolled to the side to dodge her stomp.

After Lilia dodged the boot stomp, She then pushed her self back up as she plans to charge forward and fully push off the sniper off the building. But just as she was in the middle of her momentum, a stray magic bullet passed by Castorea from behind and surprisingly hit Lilia squarely on the face, causing her to fall down on her back.

Luckily for her the stray bullet doesn't have that much power which only caused her to fall on her back, cause if it has enough power otherwise, it was rest assured that Lilia's head would have been blown off by such a surprise attack.

With such an attack, it would take Lilia quite awhile to jump back in as her whole face is sore from receiving that magic bullet without any protection against magic on her head. Even thought she was not seriously injured, the shockwave from the attack alone, literally shook her mind and stunned her performance for quite awhile.

Taking this chance that Lilia was immobilized from that surprise attack, Castorea then slowly stood up straight as she walked towards Lilia with calm steps. Since she expects that Lilia will be immobilized for a minute or two, a few seconds is what she needs to quickly finish. Unfortunately she had underestimated Lilia's tenacity.

So the moment she got close to her target, she then saw Lilia sprung up from her state like a startled rabbit, as she disarmed her once more within a few moves and pushed her back in just one kick to put a distance between them. 

Apparently in order to escape the startled state, Lilia telepathically asked for the systems help to get her out of this situation, as the system itself gave her a useful information. However in exchange for her to return back to her normal state, she would need to literally hurt herself. A simple shock was needed to recalibrate her brainwaves and kick start her body back to normal.

So upon receiving such information telepathically, Lilia then bit her tongue so hard which inflicted pain near the brain and literally kick start the function of her whole body. But due to her actions, her mouth with blood, as her tongue received a type of major damage from her bite.

Upon receiving a reboot, Lilia threw in multiple knives towards Castorea which forced her to take cover along the building's walls and gave a chance for the former to activate her skill again and surround herself with her own mist.

After encapsulating the whole floor with her mist, Lilia then begun to hunt down Castorea as she kept her short sword and took out another weapon at her disposal 'Changed sickle'. Using one hand to hold her sickle and the other to hold the chain attached to the sickle, Lilia then moved within the mist as she hunted down Castorea's heat signature visible in her visor.

As the mist grow thicker, Castorea's senses heightened to its maximum degree as she begun to sweat from all the movements she had done in just a short span of time. Holding her sniper rifle firmly on her hand, she then suddenly felt a dangerous presence appearing behind her, as he r eyes naturally moved towards her back and saw Lilia about to swing her sickle towards her.

In an act of instincts, Castorea quickly ducked down to avoid being hit by the swinged sickle and witnessed the destructive capacity of the weapon itself. In just one swing the attack literally destroyed the wall that she was using for cover herself. If she hadn't dodged that attack, she was sure that her head would have been cut off or better yet explode from its destructive force.

After successfully dodging that dangerous attack, Castorea then forced her body to turn around in such a low angle as she aimed her sniper rifle towards Lilia's head. In just one pull of the trigger, the mana bullet then came firing out from its nozzle as it travelled at the speed of  200 mile per second. In this point blank range, it will only take about a few millisecond or maybe an instant for the bullet to hit its target.

However surprisingly despite the speed of the bullet being faster than a second, Lilia was bale to react such speed as she held up her chain and caught the bullet along its holes, a feat that can only be considered inhuman and only possible due to the adrenaline rush from Lilia and her prediction.

The moment Castorea saw that Lilia caught her attack in point blank range, she then quickly  jumped back as she left multiple small explosives on her tracks and detonate them all in front of Lilia. Using the explosives as a cover, Castorea then rushed towards the hall of the building as she entered the open door elevator before looking out at the floor in front of her.

From her sight, she could see Lilia rushing after her as she wielded her sickle and threw it towards her direction.

Seeing this Castorea quickly aimed her sniper gun at the ceiling of the elevator as she fired away and destroyed the mechanism that kept the elevator in position in certain floors and served as it pulley. The moment this was destroyed, the whole elevator cabin then begun falling down at an incredible speed which made Lilia's attack miss her target by a wide margin.

Realizing that her opponent was heading down at a quick fall, Lilia then rushed towards the window of the building  as she activated her speed boosting skills and strength enhancement skills. before crashing through the tough building window and fall off from the highest floor of the building.

Through this method, not only would she be able to catch up the quickly descending Elevator inside its rail, but it also prevented her having a narrow route fro the long ranged attacker to exploit. After all if she followed the falling cabin inside its rail, not only would it make it impossible for her to dodge the snipers attack if it decided to attack her while falling, it will also make her be buried with heavy debris from the crumbling top ceiling that Castorea had shot.

Because of her attack, the elevators rail ceiling became frail and started to crumble, which makes it possible for anyone to get crushed beneath it when it actually fall from the top. With the intent of avoiding such incident, Lilia decided to simply jump out of the window and catch up to them in the lower floor.

Luckily for Lilia it wasn't only gravity that was helping her in this type of situation. but also the buildings safety mechanism whenever an elevator was broken down and was free falling  inside its rail. The very safety mechanism of the building's elevator rail was preventing the cabin from falling at its maximum speed. The emergency elevator breaks.

In this particular building there are about 10 emergency elevator  brakes in between the middle floors and the lower floors. The purpose of this breaks was to break the momentum to the falling elevator and slow it down in order to prevents the death of any people stuck inside its cabin.

The moment the cabin started falling on its rail, multiple movement sensors sensed the incident as it ejected its safety mechanism for the safety of anyone inside the cabin. Due to that every now and then, a heavy stumble rock the whole elevator which made Castorea fall on her feet as it literally affected her balance. But due to this safety break, Lilia was quickly catching up from the outside.

While the safety measure of the building was on the work of slowing down the cabin, Lilia on the other hand got closer and closer to the ground as she quickly grab ahold of her sickle and threw it towards the fourth floor of the building with an unimaginable force. By doing that her weapon crashed through the buildings window as it latched itself at the edge stopper of the building, which swung her and the rest of the chain towards her intended floor.

Sliding down while swinging at the same time, Lilia applied a direct force unto her foot as she stomped hard on the glass window of the second floor and and safely break through the glass and land on that particular floor. The moment she landed, she quickly yanked the sickle back to her with brute strength as she ran up quickly towards the elevator area of the second floor.

At this very moment the cabin in which Castorea is located is currently falling down at a slowest pace after it hit multiple emergency stoppers and finally got stopped on its tracks on the second floor. Once the elevator suddenly stop its descent, Castorea was thrown up for about a few feet, before she crash to the ground hard enough which literally shook the whole cabin itself.

It took quite some while to recover, before she could finally stand up. But the moment she recovered herself, she then immediately remembered the direness of the situation as she reached out at the door edge of the cabin and slowly pushed herself out of the elevator itself.

However the moment she stepped foot outside the elevators cabin, a sudden shrill coursed through her body, as she felt a hostile object coming towards her at a quick pace. But the moment she took a turn to find out what caused such a sensation, she then found the sickle wielded by Lilia slowly approaching her in mid attack, and was about to hit her square on her eyes.

At this very moment Castorea felt the sensation of death as her life flashed before her eyes as the blade of death slowly inches towards her in every passing millisecond.

But just as the blade was about to hit its target, Edelene's magic bullets suddenly grazed pass Castorea as it squarely hit Lilia and her blade with multiple shot, which forced her to buckle up and b e thrown back by a few feet away.

As Lilia slowly recover from that attack, Edelene then finally caught up to Castorea as she was clearly out of breath from rushing towards her location, but nevertheless she smiled brightly as she wielded her staff.

"Good thing i got here on time"
