Chapter 37 The Conjoined Siblings
The chamber was filled with tension as the five participants faced off against the Conjoined Siblings, their unique powers crackling in the air.
"Just for your information, i'm staying behind and using my books to cast spells," Dreamer was the first to break the silence and initiate what could only be called the start of a strategy.
"I have swords, but they can head toward enemies, so i'll be at the mid-range," Hero smiled.
"I can defend everyone using my shield and also attack… I think i'll just switch based on the situation," Orasio spoke with his nervous voice.
And that left…
"Seems like me and Chosen use our fists to fight, so we'll have to fight head on…" Boxer sighed, he knew that this was the most dangerous role, but also the most essential.
"Just for your information," Stark stretched, ready to attack and avoid, "Each of them have 75k HP, the witch's strength and speed are low but its defense and stamina are very high, the warrior on the other hand has overall average stats."
All the participants looked at Stark as if he was talking gibberish, confused as to how he knew all that, but they all knew he wouldn't try to deceive them in such a situation, so they all nodded.
[3…2…1…]
[BATTLE START!]
The first to attack was Stark as he immediately began running toward the witch and warrior.
But just like them, the guardians seemed to have gotten ready for the assault, the witch rising her scepter in the air and casting [Beam], while the warrior on the other hand placed himself in front of his sister, his skeletal hands ready to unsheathe his sword if they approached.
But Stark didn't care about that.
"Aura Smash," he focused his aura in his right hand, then punched the air, sending the giant crimson fist toward the two bosses.
"Fair enough," Dreamer opened ten of the books around him and began casting.
The Conjoined Warrior immediately tried to cut the attack with his sword, but it was futile, after all you can't cut 'Domination' magic.
"-3427!" on the witch, but it also cancelled her beam spell.
"-5329!" on the warrior.
"Hey, that guy's pretty good," Hero began floating in the air right next to his swords, which were now spinning around him, "But I think it's time to help."
"Fair enough," Dreamer opened ten of the books around him and began casting.
"IT'S SHOW TIME," Boxer laughed and dashed at incredible speed toward the guardians, reaching them before Stark did.
"BOXER SMASH!" he used one of his skills to punch the warrior while he was still disoriented from the crimson fist.
"-8291!"
'Holy… this guy is doing damage,' Stark thought.
But they weren't the only ones that could use skills.
"Strike!" with a powerful blow, the warrior tried to attack Boxer, who was taken aback not expecting the monster to balance itself after such a blow.
~SLASH~
~THUD~
But a green shield appeared in front of Boxer, allowing him to move away, when he and Stark looked back, they saw that it was Orasio that threw his shield and used [Ally Protection].
At the same time, Hero threw his two magic swords at the warrior and witch, each slicing the guardians with a very precise and swift slash.
"-2638!" on the witch.
"-4182!" on the warrior.
Immediately, the sword went back to spin around their owner.
Dreamer's books emanated a dark aura as they unleashed spells upon the siblings, it was like a machine gun that wouldn't end no matter what.
"-327! -251! -425!" the damage was extremely low, but the sheer number was enough to make up for it.
[Conjoined Witch: 65763/75000]
[Conjoined Warrior: 51937/75000]
"We are actually doing decent!" Hero laughed while floating mid-air.
"Greatest team ever?" Orasio dared to add.
Stark and Boxer had already backed away at this point, ready to attack again in the front lines when they could, but they were confident, after all they had done so much damage in less than a minute.
It almost seemed… pathetic, maybe they were too strong for the first guardians?
'…'
But no… this was just a delusion.
Of course they weren't.
"Heal!" the witch raised her scepter, and a golden light enveloped the warrior.
"+15000HP!"
The Conjoined Warrior let out a fearsome battle cry as his wounds began to heal rapidly, rejuvenating his strength and stamina.
"Ah shit…" Stark mumbled, of course it wouldn't be easy, "Aura Smash!"
He sent another crimson fist toward the duo and began rushing toward them, followed closely by Boxer.
~BOOM~
The warrior was able to jump out of the attack's way, but the witch with her very slow speed wasn't able to.
"-3789!"
[Enemy stunned]
Immediately as he saw this message, Stark shouted at the others, "THE WITCH IS STUNNED, ATTACK HER NOW!"
None of them could understand, but they listened regardless: Hero launched his swords at the witch, slashing her three times, while Orasio threw his shield to create an explosive barrier that dealt enormous damage, Dreamer also cast more spells.
And in the end…
"-16271!"
Furious, the warrior rushed toward Stark and Boxer, his sword ready to strike.
"Strike!" it jumped and struck down, but Stark avoided it, "Strike!" it spinned to try and take out Boxer, but he perfectly blocked using [Parry] and punched the warrior away again.
"-4728!"
The warrior stopped himself from being sent too far using his sword, making it scratch the ground and create sparks. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Skeletal Aura!"
"Beam! Glass Attack!"
After being mostly on the receiving end since the beginning, the guardians were finally able to use their attacks.
And that's when the participants hoped they could have just continued to stale for damage endlessly.
The warrior's hands began glowing with a silver aura, it was as if souls were dancing around him now, and he pointed its sword at Boxer as he was the one that hit him the most.
The witch on the other hand was able to use two attacks at once, sending not only a giant beam toward Hero, who used his swords to block it and receive 637 points of damage out of his available pool.
But it also sent 'Glass Attack' toward Orasio, fortunately enough though, he just used his shield and blocked all the piercing shards that were sent.
"HAHAHAHAHA~" Hero, blood pouring out from his mouth, was laughing hysterically, confusing everyone.
But it was only a few seconds later that they all understood.
"The Hero's Resolve!" he smiled while activating this skill and grabbed the two magic swords in his hand.
He dashed toward the warrior, closing the distance between them in a fraction of a second.
~SLASH, SLASH, SLASH…~
He kept on attacking and attacking, and although the warrior at first tried to shield himself from the relentless assault, he was soon enough overwhelmed.
"-8271!"
"-10172!"
"-9381!"
After hitting three incredible attacks on him, Hero calmed down and backed away.
"Phew~" he feel to his knees, seemingly exhausted after using such a powerful skill, "I'm gonna be out for a bit, I hope what I did is enough…"
But it wasn't.
"Life Share," the witch's scepter began glowing with a green light, and suddenly…
"-20000!" she dealt a massive amount of damage to herself.
And…
"+20000!" she gave it to her brother.
'These things are fucking annoying if they can keep on healing each other…' Stark groaned.
They needed to find a solution to kill them both, and fast.
