Chapter 1881 Sei -Part 10
Upon learning that this current form that Jin was wielding was more …unorthodox, Sei also decided not to hold back anything else and started to pour her chi into making more of those Water Dragons that she previously made to go against Ke Mi.
However, knowing that the skill had been countered once, she had placed something more unconventional to make sure that her skill would have more success. And that was to imbue each Dragon that she summoned with a different element into it. This meant that instead of 9 water dragons, there would be a mixture of water, fire, lightning, earth, and even metal dragons in her skill.
She believed that with a multi element attack, there would be something that would definitely overwhelm the defences of her opponent. Not only that, but the difference in forms also means that they do not exactly have the same capability as each other. Sei noticed that some forms were slightly weaker than the others and it so happened that this one had the brains and brawn to back her fighting strategy.
Thus, Sei liked to bet that this would work against her.
In the meantime, Ayse had brought out a device that looked like a rifle. But instead of bullets, Jin noticed that the items she was using as 'bullets' were similar to the crystals that Peppers had talked about. The Panda Cultivator remembered that there was one time Peppers kept complaining that the crystals that absorbed her mana were heavy and always wished that Ayse could keep improving so that she did not have to lug around a bunch of crystals on her body.
Upon seeing those crystals to be similar to what Peppers had held on previously, Jin had to ask. "Are those crystals the stuff that Peppers carry every day?"
"Oh? You knew about these?" Ayse was surprised since she thought that Jin hardly talked to Peppers considering how she had always been a recluse.
"They become that small and compact already?" Jin asked and Ayse was happy to hum her acknowledgement. "Then that means…you are using that to power your rifle?"
"Power? Why power them when you can use them against enemies, especially annoying tough ones like the one in front of us?" Ayse asked as she cocked her rifle and aimed at Sei who was creating the Dragons behind her opened war umbrella acting as if she was trying to heal herself but was actually chanting the incantations for the Nine Dragons Attacks.
"Besides, our opponent there seemed to be using the same technique as what she had used against Zither Mistress Ke Mi and I am not as strong as Ke Mi by any far stretch. So in order to protect myself, I too have to be like you, Master. To borrow other people's powers. The only difference is that I know how to utilise them even more than they know how to." She smiled as she took aim and fired a shot without hesitation. Her rifle popped the remaining canister that held onto the crystal and she casually reloaded it without seeing the effects as if she already knew what was going to happen.
The problem was that Sei did not know what that was. All she knew was that it was some sort of weapon that could shoot projectile fast as Ryuli had described to her. But understanding her opponent's strength, Sei decided to cast her water chi barrier using her War Umbrella as the catalyst.
If it was just an enhanced bullet filled with mana, that would probably be fine as Sei's water barrier is of a high level but what she did not expect was that the bullet that was flying towards her contained a magic density that far exceeded one's imagination when it comes to a mere bullet being enhanced fill mana. The Seiryuu counterpart was prepared to see her water barrier partially broken or maybe ripped and the bullet penetrated through the War Umbrella and perhaps injured Sei a little before she released her incantation against Ayse.
Sadly for her, she never understood the origins of that power within the bullet. For when it had finally made contact with the chi water barrier, the entire dungeon instance rocked. Walls were broken and the second layer had to be the one that controlled the impact of the explosion. Ayse was already equipped for what was to happen and had the System Rider boots to be stuck on the ground with underground spikes to hold her in position.
Needless to say, this interrupted Sei's incantation as she immediately changed all those chi into a makeshift barrier. Even when she was taking damage, the few dragons she had already summoned were swimming around her to make sure that she suffered slightly lesser damage.
The fact that she didn't lose her body was already a boon as she huffed and puffed from the third degree burns that she incurred and immediately changed the dragons into an intense layer of barrier made from the metal Maqi that she was manipulating.
"For a spirit that boasted the strength of a supposed legendary creature, you seem to be hiding a lot. I understand your wish to hide the first round to cover your tracks and surprise your enemy. But this current barrier? I do not approve of it. You are like a coward. Master Jin, I am disappointed to report that this particular person might not be worthy of being your employee." Ayse said as she took another shot at it and the very same thing happened.
Ayse reloaded her rifle while tolerating the impactful shockwaves while loading the crystal bullet into her rifle chamber again. The Pepper's Grade magical explosion rocked and destroyed the second layer of the dungeon instance, exposing the third layer to the two fighters. At first, the System thought that Sei would pose a threat but it seemed like the System might need to get the Research and Development team to collaborate in order to improve the attack.
"Huh, and here I thought the increase in magic density would cause a more impactful explosion. Looks like the intricacies of her spells incantations being written on the canister might matter as well. Let's try the third bullet to be sure." Ayse said with a smile.
