Chương 290: Chapter 273. Anna's Idea

Anna Ericsson's Point Of View /Swoosh! /" You're getting annoying, you know that?" I couldn't help but voice my frustrations at my opponent. From what we had seen during the first time we were attacked by them, we thought that they weren't fully autonomous. But it seems that they learn as they're fighting. Or maybe all that time they spent standing still, they were actually thinking of how they could fight us on their own.

If so, I'm not sure if what we're doing is going to work, but I just have this feeling inside of me that if I can land an attack with the Goddess Of The Underworld's Mana, it'll hurt the opponent. Who would've thought that they've adapted so well to us though... / CRASH! / A loud sound filled everyone's ears, I took a look with one of my many eyes, it was John. He was able to do it! He threw one of them into a Portal! From the smile on his face, it looks like it was a successful strategy.

Oh, he's finishing his opponent off. Good, he crushed its head and smashed its heart... If they do have a heart that is." Anna! What was that!? It was Matthew, wasn't it!?" Alice called out to me, mid-swing of one her swords as well. I can't tell if that takes talent or if she's just too obsessed with John now. It doesn't take much to realize that she's fallen for Our Husband. It was the Princess Carry that was the finishing blow to breath through the walls in her heart.

If Sarah and I didn't have a chance to calm her down before this chaos erupted, I'd hate to think what she would try to do. We even had to pull out the "reward you in time" strategy already. I've learned that she's quite obsessive, but at the same time, I can see her cheeks growing more and more red as she calls him by his name. Well... Fake name, but it's the only name we can call him out in the open like this.

Speaking of which, how will the rest of the girls react when he eventually reveals his real name to them? Maybe Sarah and I should prepare him for that one day? Anyways, I need to give Alice an answer." It was! He's defeated his opponent, I say we don't let him get too far ahead of us! What do you say, Alice!?"" Of course!" Pressure!

"!"

"!" With my words, Alice's killing intent had released in a giant burst that seemed to affect our enemies and cause them to involuntarily take on a defensive stance. I took this as my moment to try and land a blow. Kick! Swing! / Swish! / Again, my dagger just misses by a hair's breadth. It continues to dodge away, but I have an idea now. Perhaps it was that crash, it made me finally realize that I've been thinking about this all wrong.

John didn't rely on his Paladin Skills, and I shouldn't be relying solely on my Divine Channeler Skills either! I've been so transfixed on my Channeler Skills that I forgot that I have more to offer than just being Divine Channeler. I can use a simple trick that won't take much mana to do. First, I need to make him run away again, that shouldn't be difficult to do. Kick! I begin to the chase against him again. Still, he tries to run and dodge, but not this time! Throw! /Whoosh!

/ I threw one of my daggers at him, this was a feint and he fell for it! He ducked, now to channel my mana / SNAP! / And with that, my plan worked! I've wrapped both of his feet with strong vines that I can summon with my Druid Job! Now with that! Thrust! / STAB! / Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. Finally! I got him!...

"!!!" Something's strange with my mana. It's not harming me, but the Underworld Goddess's Mana is being sucked into the chest of my opponent. It's not stopping either, I need to withdraw the blade. / GUSH! SPLAT! / I pulled out my dagger and the green and black blood of my opponent began to pour out of the wound in his chest." URAAHHHHH!" An ungodly scream left his mouth as Purple and black lines began to spread out of the wound and cover my opponent's body.

I jumped away from my opponent, and I waited to see what would happen next, but I was surprised at the answer. / BOOM! / He exploded into pieces. I was surprised at how quickly that happened. But with that, it seems my strategy also worked! I knew it would!" Good job, Anna! Now come and help me, would you!?" Alice called to me. I was glad she did, if she didn't, I think I would've begun to celebrate early just because I was able to finally strike the enemy. I was surprised by how fast they were.

No doubt, if I was surprised with my eyes, Alice, whose eyesight wasn't as strong as mine, it must be even more confusi- / CLANK! / Kick! Grip! Never mind, she's doing just fine. She's only missing by about half an inch. First, I move fast to my dagger that I threw at my opponent and reclaim it. Thankfully, I didn't throw it far. After picking it up, I begin moving closer to our opponent and begin to channel more mana into my daggers as I approach.

By the time I reach the opponent, both my blades are glowing with purple and black waves of mana that matched Alice's swords as well." Woosh!" Another strike from one of her swords and another miss. Thankfully I'm here now to help. Before I could attack with my dagger, our opponent saw me coming and jumped back to give himself space, it seems that it's more afraid than ever now with the 2 of us teaming up. Perhaps it's because of the fact that its friend is gone? Who knows?

Regardless of if it does or doesn't, we need to strike now while the iron is hot. We're now 2 for 2 and we can make it 3 for 3. As I was deciding what to do next, a welcome surprise appeared for us. / SNAP! BAM! / A beautiful sight entered my eyes as I saw My Husband land a jab and then a straight to the back of our opponent's head. The straight launched the opponent towards us." I'll get him!"

Alice was more than happy to land the finishing blow on our enemy, John and I nodded our heads as she stabbed the enemy with the blade in her right hand. Just as what happened with me, I saw the Underworld Goddess's Mana being sucked into the stab wound that was on the opponent's neck instead of his chest this time." What is goin-!" / Thump! Thump! / Alice connected the dots before I could inform her to back up, she jumped and landed next to me as our opponent exploded into pieces." Good job, Anna, Pr-... Alice."

John corrected himself before he made Alice show her pouting face again. I could tell from his reactions that he still didn't understand why Alice wanted him to call her by her name. Maybe that was for the best, but at the same time, I wonder how he doesn't notice such obvious signs?" Anna! I saw what you did! That was awesome, I didn't even think of using the vine trick to hold them down! I ended up getting lucky when my guy tried to punch me into the ground, his arm got stuck and I could open a Portal."

He praised me. Maybe I was focusing too much on his surroundings, the reason he doesn't see the other girls is because he only sees Sarah and I in his eyes. While we're going to have to change that feeling eventually, for now, it wouldn't be bad to just enjoy it, right? I answer back quickly so I don't worry him." You inspired me to try that, Darling. When your opponent crash landed, it made me think about the fact that I other abilities besides my Divine Channeler Skills, just like you not just being a Paladin."

His smile grew when I mentioned how he was the source of my idea. That smile is unfair, I swear." For the Gods, just kiss him already, Anna!"" Hey! Rivvy! Don't spoil the moment! Let them enjoy their romance in peace!"" Natty, you realize yelling at Rivvy... is just as interrupting as Rivvy's interruption."" Now, now Unnie, no sense causing another argument."" Ah! No! She noticed!

Don't close the window, Ann-" And like that, my enjoyable time with My Husband was unfortunately ended with the comments of my Goddesses, who treat my Marriage as a part of their own personal enjoyment. Thankfully, recently, I picked up the ability to forcibly close the Connection between us so they can't see and hear everything I do." Well, I'm glad I could help, Anna. Same for landing that punch to set up your last attack, Alice. Which looked great by the way! Now we can go and help Sarah!"" Yes!

You were a great help, Matthew! Let's go help Big Sis!" Alice was happy that John praised her. Now all 3 of us turned from the remains of our enemy and started running towards Sarah. But as we arrived, we were met with an interesting sight." Huh? Oh, hi, everyone!" Sarah had already finished beating her opponent. She was sitting in front of her opponent who was vivisected on the ground. She must've landed enough blows to each side that a single slash down the man's torso was enough to end the fight completely."

I'm glad you all finished up! Let's go kick that bastard back to where he came from now!" Sarah happily suggested what to do next, right before John was about to reply to her, we heard an awful sound that meant we weren't done yet. / RUMBLE! CRACK! Thoom! RUMBLE! / A rumbling had begun to shake the earth, the bodies of our enemies all began to shake, before we could even react, all of the bodies and pieces of the bodies flew together and collided. An all-consuming black beam of light shot into the sky.

We all could only sit as we saw a giant foot stepped out of the beam of light. Before long, we realized the fight wasn't over, in fact, John said it best before we prepared for battle." Of course, they combined into a bigger problem!"
