Chapter 2188 Manor of Vishnu -Part12
"What thE HELL IS THAT THING!?" No. 7 complained as she was looking at the Shadow Chimera that was fusing right in front of her even though her body was moving instinctively to reload both of the Wand Rifles which she had expended when she felt something was amiss when the Shadow Predators she tagged previously suddenly to start disappeared one by one.
No. 2 was focusing on his escape route that he too did not notice it until No. 7 shouted right back at him, demanding an answer which he was not able to conjure up as well. All he know was that he needed to make sure this particular monster did not consume the War Boar Herd.
The very thing that he had put in so much effort just to ensure that they were still surviving right up to this particular point.
"How would I know? Just kill it!" No. 2 yelled as they believed this was not the time to save up on ammunition nor magic power when he saw the Shadow Chimera, who now had such a weird size and appearance that the Commando Mage could not even idenifty such an abomination.
Multiple pairs of horse legs, probably eight to ten of them from a quick glance. A series of snake like heads right at the back of the Shadow Chimera, with the assumption that it was going to cripple the War Boar Herd with their bites. Perhaps, there would be poison in those fangs or it would be fuelled with shadow magic that enabled such poisoning to occur.
But the most menacing portion of its appearance and probably the most dangerous part of the chimera was the head.
The head of an alligator, with its jaws wide open horizontally, attempting to bite the Veteran War Boars who were protecting the rest of the herd by acting as its rearguard.
The only thing that they were thankful right now was that the War Boar Herd had not been fazed by the Shadow Chimera's new appearance and their reaction was mild based on the reaction of the War Boar Leader who No.2's was mind controlling.
To them, the War Boar veterans would be thinking this was just another day at work kind of situation but unlike 'another day at work', they were now handling and protecting their spouses and kids from such danger. If they were not in the picture, the War Boars would had acted more aggressively to counter the Shadow Chimera in tandem with the Commando Mages.
So, despite the fact that they were running away from the supposed threat, a couple of the War Boar were actually rather patient and tolerant so far for the sake of their herd. They were not going to fight against the monster unless the human hunters required their help.
And with how the battle was going, it seemed like there was not much of a concern despite the fact that they had a quick shouting argument between each other.
No. 2 did a fast right turn instead of the initial direction they were moving. It actually made the trip to the forest clearing a little longer but No.2 was betting on the Magic Circle Stickers he had placed at that specific right turn he had done.
He knew that even if No.7 wished to fight with this enlarged Shadow Predator, she needed some breathing space to ensure that her shot could be charged even just for a second longer to burst the enemy into bits and pieces.
Right now, she was merely shooting haphazardly to in essence parry against the snake heads coming too close to the rear guard of the War Boar Herd. However, she did not take into consideration that the Veteran War Boars had taken the rear guard for a reason as well.
Their 'Celestial' Magic was cast in lieu of No.7's shots, enabling a series of earth walls popping out, causing the Shadow Predators to knock right straight at it.
This gave No.7 the chance to power up No.2's Wand Rifle as she used one hand and her knees to reload the current Wand Rifle she had. If there was a website on awesome reloading, this might actually be the reloading video reel of the day.
As the ammunition clip popped out of her Wand Rifle, she used her telekinesis to pull out another clip out of her battle vest just to physically hold it so that she knew that the clip was loaded and not a blank one.
With that she inserted the clip and used a combination of telekinesis and physical reloading while using her knee to support the Wand Rifle.
In the meantime, she was balancing right on top at the speed the War Boar was running down the Forest, dodging her head from stray branches that might knock her out and simultaneously charging the separate Wand Rifle so that she can use it for the big attack when the time was right.
Naturally, the initial Earth Wall barrier was eventually broken through as a sign of strength but instead of breaking the remaining Earth Walls, the Shadow Chimera, merely split themselves out, allowing No.7 to once again feel all the tagged preys in her midst once more and later had their signals disappear the moment they combine together for the second time.
While it might just be a gimmick or a feature that the Shadow Predators were utilising, this gave the Commando Mage insight to some vital information which she might not have if the War Boar rear guards did not insist in assisting No.7 in her downtime.
With such a possibility open to her, she knew that her shots must have the surprise element in order to ensure that those Shadow Predators chasing after them would not separate the moment they shot a huge magical shot coming towards with the intent to annihilate them.
Your journey continues with empire
And perhaps, No.2 or maybe even the War Boars who now trusted the humans with their lives would be able to assist in such an endeavour. After all, if her attack does not succeed, the Shadow Predators would only get bolder due to the time limit that they have before the sun goes up.
