Chapter 777 A Bump In Their Plan
But he only thought that because he imagined they would use their powers to get rid of him.
Seeing them dart left and right, his heart skipped a beat.
\'Fuck!\'
He wasn\'t fast enough to follow them and could only watch in horror as he watched them go for his allies.
He froze momentarily, time crawling forward around him as he imagined the worst.
Juan almost getting clawed in half. Jack falling from his perch.
He saw it all happen and knew he was too slow to react.
Jack was getting closer to the ground, where he would assuredly suffer grave injuries in the best-case scenario. He would never get there in time.
Juan, flying sideways through the air, was about to fall to Cory\'s feet. There was nothing he could do to help him.
\'Did we bite off more than we could chew?\' he wondered, his heart beating fast.
"Snap out of it, wolfy!" he heard from behind him.
Something flew past his head blazingly fast, going toward the wall where Jack was falling. With a resounding twang sound, David\'s bident embedded itself in the rock under Jack, giving him something to grab onto and slow down his fall.
Jack heard the noise below him and only had a moment to react. But his reflexes were much quicker than your regular old fart, and he managed to twist his body awkwardly to spin toward the ground.
As he did, he passed the bident and grabbed it with his left hand, holding his rifle in the other.
His downward speed was high, and it forced him into a spin around the shaft he held firmly in his hand. When he finally stopped spinning, he kicked at the wall, pulling himself away and the weapon as he fell the last ten feet to the ground.
Landing with a superhero pose, Jack quickly lunged forward.
He was still in a dangerous spot and couldn\'t stay static.
He shot the bident toward the back-line, knowing whose weapon this was, and stowed his rifle away, going for a sidearm instead. Pulling out a dagger from his belt, similar to his wife\'s daggers, he lunged through the enraged dire wolves.
"Thanks, asshole!" Jack shouted.
David did not mind the insult; he knew now was no time for arguing. He jumped up, catching his weapon in mid-air, and spun around as he landed.
Alex finally snapped out of his daze, realizing he was burdening the others, and dashed toward the Raijū, who was reaching the ground after getting struck by the ice pillar.
He had to lock at least one down, or else he would have failed his one task.
Running to it, he reached inside him, touching Morpheus\' soul.
\'I know I never brought out on this side and that the mana here is weak. But I need you. Please help me. Help them,\' he pleaded.
The soul pulsed lightly, responding to his call.
Alex felt an immense amount of mana siphon out of his body, a sign that Morpheus was being summoned to his side.
\'I never realized how little mana I had on this side. I barely feel it when I summon them in New Eden anymore…\'
The pitch-black bat suddenly shot out of his, starting at regular size before ballooning to the size it had in New Eden. With a high-pitched shriek, it announced its presence on the battlefield.
The wolves and Raijū jerked from the shriek, their sensitive hearing making it painful.
"Get rid of the dire wolves!" Alex shouted to it.
Morpheus started looping the sky above the valley, visible pulses leaving its mouth, hitting the dire wolves in the face. And with every pulse, the pain on their faces replaced the rage, and their frothing snarls turned to whimpering cries.
Meanwhile, David took it upon himself to busy up the second Raijū.
Slapping his hands together, a cloud of black smoke rose from them as he slammed them into the ground.
"Come out, death knight! Take care of that dog for me!" he shouted as a slim hand burst through the compacted mud, looking like a bad zombie movie scene.
As soon as the death knight pulled itself out of the ground, it summoned its halberd and charged at the Raijū. It mattered not if it could win.
The orders of its master were absolute, and he would fight until he dropped if so ordered.
With both Raijū suddenly pinned down again, panting and exhausted, evidently from using their powers, the battle reset itself to a normal pace.
This gave time to Cory, who had just received Juan like a hundred and eighty pound bag of potatoes, thrown at him stupidly hard. It had sent both of them tumbling to the ground.
But as soon as he saw the blood on the man\'s arm, Cory forgot he was about to complain, and his healer instincts kicked in.
With Kary containing most of the dire wolves, Morpheus raining pain on them, and Violette doing the same, the rest of the party regrouped to get new instructions.
Jonathan was still in a daze, although he joined up with them, and Margarett was harassing the Raijū along with the undead that had just joined her.
Jack had cleared the stray dire wolves out, making them semi-
safe outside the flame wall. But Kary couldn\'t hold it for much longer.
Her face was covered in sweat, and her skin was pale.
"I can\'t hold this wall for long. When it goes down, you will all need to use everything you have to kill the pack. Only then will we be able to deal properly with the two threats."
Heads nodded all around, even from Juan, who was still getting patched up. It had been a shock to him to see the deep gouges in his limb suddenly start closing as a faint golden light emanated from Cory\'s hand.
Everyone here was extraordinary somehow, and he still had difficulty wrapping his head around it. They were making superheroes look dull in comparison.
"Alright! Get ready, I\'m dropping the wall!" Kary shouted, her legs wobbling.
As soon as she dropped it, all hell broke loose once more.
