Chương 281: Chapter 264. Final Walk And An Arrow For Your Thoughts

" Yes, line up like that! Now stick your clubs out! Perfect!" Our slap-dash army is looking somewhat better, I aim my hand to be on a perfect angle with the line of clubs that are currently pointing towards the outside of the Barrier." Holy Flame!" / Woosh! / A burst of golden flames exits my hands and with great speed, lit the last of the torches up. I then used my Holy Flame Manipulation to make the relatively small burst of Holy Flames fly into the bonfire that was burning brightly in the center of the Barrier.

From just that small bit of Holy Flame, what was once regular red flames, became a giant golden bonfire. Well, at the very least, this Barrier is going to be well-protected from any of the... What did Sarah name them? Bonded ones? I probably would've called them zombies myself... I wonder if zombies exist here in Gaia? I mean Necromancers do? I think? Ah, who cares!? I need to focus! We're going to begin the assault on the God of The Blackwoods soon.

After hearing my plans, there were some adjustments, but all in all, I think it'll work. The only question now is how will the floating bastard react to it? Regardless, I know that the hostages won't die, he wants me to see them die on the lead up to killing me after leveling this town.

It's almost a shame how this plan may have worked had he'd not been so overconfident and just killed me when he had the chance, now with my Holy Flame Manipulation and my mana hovering around 50% from Paladin's Recovery healing me while I slept. I'm feeling pretty good. The Barrier is self-sustaining itself as well. it's also really strong. It took around 20% of mana to make. That's even more than when I tripled the Barriers back in the basement when we were fighting Fracks... Or Fracks changing into the God...

Or was it the God at the time? Who can say?" Are you all finished up?" Sarah had walked over to me after making her own preparations, more or less, she was fanning the flames to make sure they were strong before we left." Yup, that was the last of the lines."" I still can't believe that every inch of the perimeter of the Barrier is now guarded. It's so much nicer than when you were sleeping."" Yeah, it was surprising when I woke up. The Barrier grew bigger than what I thought it would.

I should thank Angela for setting it up."" You mean it wasn't you?" Sarah's face looked confused for a moment." Well, it was more half and half, I couldn't cast the Spell, but Angela could at the time. So, she did it for me, since I wanted to protect you and Anna."" Ah, I see, I was a little bit confused about how you did that, Darling." Anna had finished up throwing plants she grew into the fire, so she walked up and joined Sarah and I as I was speaking.

Seems she read our lips on her way over to see what we were talking about. Now that it was just us, I guess I should fess up to my small little lie." Now that you're both here, I do need to tell you both something. I can't actually kill that thing."" What do you mean?" Sarah whispered her question as she and Anna wore serious faces at my question." Angela told me that I can't kill the guy with my Holy Flames, but I could take his "time" away by hurting him.

If I had to guess, he's only able to stay in Fracks's body for a limited amount of time, but it's not long. It's probably similar to an hourglass, but instead of just turning it upside down, when the sand fills up the hourglass..."" The hourglass will break. Or in this case, Fracks's body will."" If I had to guess." Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. Anna finished my thought. It wasn't a great scenario to think about... But it's the outcome we need to achieve."

It's the only way to win and live. It's unfortunate in a way, but at the same time, he did technically...."" Yes, but how much of that was him and how much of it was the God?"" I don't know. I guess that's a question for the Gods to figure out after we free him from the one keeping him here?" Sarah and Anna nodded to my words. We weren't really looking forward to this, but we needed to do it. We walked over to the starting position for our plan to start.

Count Sark, Lady Kina, Count Gorse, Lady Diana and Count Tye were all standing there waiting for us." Are you ready?" Lady Kina asked with a slight hint of worry in her 3 pink eyes. I nodded to her and we all just stood there for a moment. But I couldn't help but notice we were missing an important piece of the puzzle. I looked around until I saw a Demon with the thing I needed." Hey! You! Can you come here really quick!?" He hesitated at my call, then he noticed that I was staring at him.

I pointed at him as well, so he knew that I was calling to him. He pointed at himself, and I nodded my head, this final piece of agreement made him walk over to us." W-What can I do for you, Marquess Matthew?" With a bit of tension in his voice, I began to calmly ask for what I needed." Don't worry, you're not doing anything wrong. What's your name?"" Grady, Sir."" Nice to meet you, Grady. I just need one thing from you. Could I borrow your bow for a moment?"" My bow?"" Yes, your bow. I need one.

I'll hand it right back. I just need to fire an arrow."" Uhm... Okay?" Grady handed me his bow and with it, I could begin the first move of this chess game we were about to begin. First things first." Holy Arrow!" One white arrow formed in the notch of the bow. I then nocked the Holy Arrow in the bow." My Love... Have you ever fired a bow before?" Sarah was confused by how smoothly I used the bow." Yes, when I was younger, I had a toy bow and arrows.

I played with it a bit, I eventually started landing arrows exactly where I aimed. Granted, my old arrows couldn't do this. Gigantification!" All of a sudden, the Holy Arrow grew much bigger, I can control the size as much as I wanted, with it, I made the arrow the same size as spear and about as thick as a broadsword." Holy Flame!" / Woosh! / I then summoned a decent sized Holy Flame.

Once it had formed, I separated it into 4 smaller flames, with that done, I changed their shapes from raging flames, into cylinders. I then had them attach to my Holy Arrow. The concentration it took to connect my 2 Spells was something I never wanted to do again. /DING! /" Not now, System!"" Don't mind him, it's a Human thing." The Demons around us were surprised at my sudden yell, but Sarah smoothed it over for me. But now I had it, 4 cylinders connected to my Holy Arrow. Now for part 2." Spin!"

My giant Holy Arrow began to spin really fast. /ZHOOOM! / It was even making a crazy sound, almost like an engine roaring. I looked up at my target and began to aim my bow." How is he going to reac-"" Just watch Our Husband work." Count Tye, ever the thorn, tried to ask about what I was doing.... He was there when we discussed the plan though? Regardless, I released my arrow.. I bet he thinks he just needs to dodge it... Once!.... God Of The Blackwood's Point Of View" Just let them go at least!""

For a beastman, you sure do care about demons. There was a time long ago where demons would skin beastmen while they were still alive. I believe they said the screams made the color of your fur stay "life-like" for longer."" That has nothing to do with now!"" I should drop you and save myself the trouble... No, maybe throw you into the Barrier? I'm sure you'd make a lovely bloodstain."" No!"" Please don't!" /ZHOOOM!

/ An annoying sound filled my ears as the little demons cried for me not to enact my great idea, what is that sound? Are my servants doing something unnecessary? I instructed them to pick off the survivors that weren't in the Barrier yet... I look down and that fool is trying something. A Holy Arrow? What annoying trash. He doesn't even need to use a bow for it. Maybe he's really a novice after all? He used that flame spell well at least. He's even figured out how to shape it now. /BAM! / He released it?

It won't even reach here like this. /BOOM! /" What!?" Flames came flying out the spinning arrow. It's fast, but he won't catch me.... Wait! It's aiming for them! /BOOM! / It's gaining speed, but I pull them out of the trajectory of the arrow. What a foolish trick. While I've never seen that before, I highly doubt it would be usef- /BOOM! / /SWISH! SNAP! /" No!"

"WAAAHHH!" He... He made it go sideways.... It cut through my vines holding the hostages in place....... John Ericsson's Point Of View Shove! I handed Grady back his bow and got back to work!" Okay! Sarah! Anna! Let's go! Barrier!"
