Chapter 252
Gracie deactivated her [Maddening darkness] spell so she won’t hinder Cain. She did not want to interfere unless asked to. She had another thing to do after all.
BAAM! A shockwave exploded from inside the ball of flames that Cain was creating. “You need to die!” Melissa yelled as her charred body dripped with blood. She immediately regenerated and blasted herself toward Cain.
[Lisworth’s Resilient Sphere]
Melissa’s punch immediately shattered Cain’s shield. [Teleport]
“COOOO!” Cain teleported the Kenku directly to him. [Lesser Empowerment] [Haste] He then enchanted him to fight better.
The Kenku Grabbed Melissa’s hand and kicked her in the face. She twisted her body and tried to grab his leg but he dodged thanks to [Haste] grabbing her by the hair, he kicked her to the ground.
“That chicken? I thought we tied him up.” Kayden was surprised at Cain for letting the Kenku free.
“Rieth did you betray us!” Melissa screamed as she saw Cain and the Kenku Rieth teleport back down.
“Don’t you care what happens to the others?” She screamed again.
“You don’t seem to understand-coo, I never endanger my people-coo.” Rieth took his stance.
“You only left a few cubuses guarding them. Did you really expect that such low security will keep them locked?” Cain poked his ear.
“That isn’t possible! I left the best of the best.” Melissa swung her arm as she yelled.
“Yeah, I heard they had some powerful charms. I woke up about half an hour ago, I did have enough time to send some talented people.” Cain said with a smile.
~We finished here, we freed the Kenku people~ Cain received a mental report through one of his enchantments.
~Good work, Alaric. I knew you druid would be fine with your high wisdom. How are the others doing~
~Those four adventurers took care of any strong monster. I was not personally happy to work with the devils but their squad saved our arse~ Alaric replied.
~Fine, I await your report later then. I’m in a fight now~
~Then tell straight away!~ Alaric quickly closed the line. He would have never called in if he knew that Cain was in a fight.
“I just received the news. Everyone is safe.” Said Cain.
“Cock-a-doodle-do!” Rieth screamed at the top of his lungs, “Let’s get this over with!”
“You must be lying, there is now that is true!” Melissa yelled as she leaped at them.
[Earth wall] Cain quickly created a stone spike in her way. She jumped to the side to dodge the attack. Otherwise, she would just pierce herself.
“Coo!” Rieth leaped at her and swung his talons at her. She rolled away and countered with a left hook. Rieth blocked that and tried to peck her face.
Melissa ducked down and tried to head-butt him on the chest. Rieth leaped backward and then countered with an upward Kick toward her face. She blocked the kick with her forearm and rushed in for a punch.
From the perspective of a Fenrir villager, he wasn’t able to even follow their movements. Cain on the other hand was standing still while pointing his hand at them. He had one eye closed while his tongue was a bit out as if he was aiming something.
Cain was trying to aim his spell. He didn’t want to hit Rieth. The spell he was about to cast was a bit dangerous after all [Synaptic Static] He cast it when he found the right moment and hit Melissa directly.
Melissa was in the middle of swinging her punch at Rieth when she felt a horrible headache and her vision blurred. Her legs started to tremble and she leaked what was inside of her. All her muscles twitched uncontrollably and Rieth gave her a hard punch in the face.
[Synaptic Static] was a painful spell that did something simple. It filled the links between nerves with static electricity inside the target brain and spine. You can say it caused a seizure at command. Most people can’t survive it without permanent nerve damage even if they had a regeneration.
Seeing how Melissa started twitching on her own, Rieth knew that Cain did something. He didn’t care and jumped in Kicking her in the face again and sending her rolling.
[Thunder Step] [Enchanting] Cain flashed toward her to slice her apart. She shouldn’t be able to regenerate in her current state. As Soon as Cain swung his dagger, Melissa was nowhere to be seen.
“Sh*t! Forced teleportation?” Cain growled as he tried to track her location. Unfortunately, this wasn’t created by a contingency spell so he couldn’t track her.
“Then the other one.” Cain turned toward Meliliana. Gracie and Kayden have already cut her to pieces while they were fighting Melissa.
“Master, we finished here,” Gracie reported. Cain patted her head and set Meliliana’s corpse on flames.
“Did she run away?” Kayden asked and Cain nodded with a pained face. “It was hard to kill her while her regeneration was active so I prevented her from doing that. She seems to have prepared beforehand to be teleported away if she lost that ability.” Cain explained.
“It was really satisfying to kick her in the face-coo. Nothing beat beating you annoying boss-coo.” Rieth said and Cain gave him an exhausted look.
“You’re right.” Out of all people. Gracie agreed with him. She had once kicked her boss (Sebas) and it was satisfying.
“Why did you free him?” Kayden asked.
“Don’t worry. Rieth here is an old friend. He is a good guy.” Cain said as he slapped Rieth’s back.
“We just met an hour ago-coo!” Rieth replied to him. “Listen, are you sure your friend here is right up here-coo?” Rieth pointed at his head as he talked with Gracie and Kayden.
Rieth was a friend that shared Cain his cell in his past life. They lived together for over five years before the Kenku rebelled at the Dragons. Rieth was the shining star of his people as he had mastered martial arts to an astounding level.
At their final battle, Rieth achieved a godly feat. He bare-handedly fought two ancient dragons and won. He did die later because of his wounds but he won nonetheless. As the dragons feared that another Kenku of his skill would appear, they decided to turn all the Kenku into dark roosters and pale chickens.
“I told you, we’re friends in our fight against the dragons. We even managed to score a win and free your people today!” Cain patted Rieth’s shoulder.
“Coocaaa?” Rieth looked at Cain with a confused rooster face.
CRACK! Cain felt the dimensional rift Crack. It was about to break.
“Everyone get ready, the real fight is about to start!” Cain yelled as he lifted his arm up. [Enchanted teleportation: Multi targets] Cain used enchanting to simply cast multiple [Teleport] spells at the same time.
The next moment, everyone was standing around the rift. About 300 feet away from it. If the rift shattered, they need to finish the earth dragon immediately before he can recover. Or they can keep him from healing while Alice heals the beast god.
“I will transfer the plan to your minds immediately so get ready!” [Message] Cain shouted as he sent the message to everyone.
