CHAPTER 103: PSYCHIC BOMB

SERENA MAIZONO

8 DAYS AGO

Three hours before dawn, and we are now fighting against Eldritch’s most powerful asset: Sakuradrop. Using my Elform to sense the natural magic in the wind, I would say that this peculiar dragonoid is not yet going all out. She’s still on her human form, and it troubles me why Eldritch didn’t use Vesryn Pulse on her so that she could fight us with full strength.

There was an illogical fear coming from our senses. Alphonse, Z the Elemental Dragon, and Danielle can feel it too. If we will just let our instincts decide, we should be running away from that lone dragonoid girl by now. 

“Before we start, let me confess to you about the things I have done in the past.” Sakuradrop held her chin high, looking down on me. She raised her right hand and pointed at my left eye. “That Eye of Deus, you acquired it using your Nexus Link, right?”

I did not answer. I am surprised that she knew how I am able to obtain such power. Realizing that I have the intention to remain silent, Sakuradrop continued her explanation.

“I am the source of the Eye of Deus. I shared it with Michael Eldritch so that he can fulfill his dream. I shared it also with Xenon Wingate for the same reason. During your raid against Cheng Du, Xenon Wingate willfully went to me and made a contract.”

“Y-You!” I made a step forward as I gritted my teeth. “What did you do to Xen!? Why did you give him that eye!?”

“It’s on a whim, I guess.” Sakuradrop smiled menacingly. “Don’t act like you’ve known Xenon Wingate his whole life. If ever, I know him better than you. His thirst for revenge can never be quenched. He is willing to sell his soul to Necross just to do it. Since he’s determined to kill the people on his list, maybe it would be fun to give him the power of the gods. Eye of Deus, Curse of Necross, and Elform. He is a threat not only to humanity but to everything that exists. He will be the perfect being.”

“Release the Eye of Deus on him at once!” I cried out loud.

“Unfortunately, I can’t. If I only knew that you can acquire the eye from Xenon with the power of Nexus Link, I should’ve not given that power to him. Now I’m facing the consequences, and if Eldritch learns about it, I will certainly be punished.”

“Blah blah blah!” Alphonse roared out loud. “Enough talk! Let’s fight already! Eldritch is escaping, and we don’t have time for your backstory shit!”

The Elemental Dragon on Rainbow Form opened its wings and revealed colorful light crystal scales. When it flapped its wings, the scales unleashed millions of glitters that contain unique elemental properties and combinations thereof each. The glitters have the power to corrode and dissolve anything it touches, and all of it was directed to the lone enemy dragonoid in a pink lotus dress.

Sakuradrop spread out her arms, and a cherry blossom-shaped astral barrier was formed to shield her from that elemental sprinkles. Not even an atom of that attack passed through her magical defense.

“Air Shuffle!” Danielle gracefully waltzed and flapped her bladed fans towards the enemy barrier. A set of wind tornado drill surged towards the astral sakura blossom shield, and it was repelled immediately.

“Futile!” Sakuradrop laughed. 

Of course, it was futile, as they are just diversions and distractions for our battle strategy! While Sakuradrop is occupied on blocking the attacks, I grab unto Alphonse and used one of my magic.

“Blink!” Alphonse and I teleported towards the back of the enemy and then he unleashed his chains towards the dragonoid girl. Having perfect control of his chains, Alphonse used it as a tendril to wrap Sakuradrop’s body and restrain her.

“What the-!!!” Sakuradrop muttered in surprise.

“This ends now!” I used my futuretech glove to materialize a longbow attached to my wrist. With my Forge magic, I created a crimson lance that served as my arrow for my long-ranged attack. “Haaaaaah!!!”

“Oh no, you can’t!” Sakuradrop laughed as she magically controlled the pink psychic orb that has been rotating around his body since the beginning of the fight. The pink orb was the one that was struck by the arrow-lance, and upon impact, it blasted like a nuclear bomb.

A loud tremor echoed that destroyed the serenity of the dawn. Half of the Royal Airship has been destroyed due to the explosion. In the nick of time, I managed to Blink myself and my allies away from the epicenter of the blast. I was troubled why the explosion is way more powerful than I imagined because my arrow is not supposed to explode. It was only then that I realized that it was Sakuradrop’s orb that made that excessive blast.

When the white smoke faded, Sakuradrop revealed herself, floating in midair with her angelic wings. Now her body is bathed with pink aura and there are about six orbs hovering around her body.

“That orb, it’s dangerous. Don’t ever try to block it or you will evaporate. We must avoid it at all costs.” Danielle muttered.

“Fighting as a giant dragon will be fucking troublesome, so I will deactivate the Vesryn Pulse.” Alphonse tapped his Elemental Dragon’s cheek, and immediately, the dragon transformed back to its human form Z. Z is now using her partial dragon form as she still has the rainbow crystal wings on her back.

Sakuradrop’s defenses are superb, as well as her offensive attacks. That barrier and that orb will prove to be a great challenge to overcome. This girl can wipe us all clean in one attack if it ever hits. But that does not mean that she’ll be winning this fight. We have to defeat her somehow, and the only thing we can rely on in this case is how fast we can deliver a fatal attack on her.

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind on how to defeat this overpowered opponent.

“Sir Alphonse, Lady Danielle, Z.” I grabbed my allies’ attention. “All of you, focus on attack. I would like to try something.”

“I’d better not spend my life just for some trial and error, so make it fucking work!” Alphonse said as he readied his new set of chains. 

“Si, mademoiselle. I think I know what you are thinking right now, and it’s worth a try.” Danielle supported.

“Let’s go, Serena!” Z levitated to gain more altitude and readied her crystal wings to flap more elemental glitters.

“Thank you, everyone!” I jollily cried as I materialized a crossbow on my futuretech glove. “Let’s do this!”

“Elemental Storm!” Z made her first attack by spinning in midair and spreading her wings, unleashing atomic particles that are filled with a thousand elemental magic.

“Chain Barrage!” Alphonse unleashed his bladed chains and chased the enemy like a snake that can swim in midair. Each of the chains is coated with fire, earth, water, lightning, and wind magic.

“Tornado Blast!” Danielle repeatedly stroke the air with her fans and it made a long stream of whirling wind that blasted towards the enemy.

“Futile!” Sakuradrop laughed once again. She spread out her arms and a cherry blossom barrier has once again neutralized all the attacks. Z’s sprinkles were shielded, Alphonse’s bladed chains reflected back, and Danielle’s tornado did not make it through. When all three attacks ended, it’s time for Sakuradrop’s counter! “Die and evaporate to the void!” She shouted.

The six pink orbs spread out and divided into three groups. The first two orbs chased Z, the second two orbs chased Alphonse, and the last two orbs chased Danielle. Those orbs only travel at a speed similar to an eagle, so it’s possible to evade. However, it’s a different story if the orbs exploded as it covers a wide area of effect. The three might outrun those orbs, but they will certainly be caught in the explosion.

That’s why I am here, to try out something I have never made before.

With my impressive and quick aiming, I unleashed arrows from my automatic crossbow. Each arrow hit the bull’s eye of the orb, and when I saw that my projectiles have successfully hit the psychic bombs, I immediately shouted out loud. “Blink!”

In an instant, the orbs that were supposed to hit and explode to my allies have been written out of existence. I have teleported those bombs somewhere that Sakuradrop won’t comprehend.

“Oh, that’s impressive, Serena Maizono! Teleporting my psychic balls away from your allies to keep them safe is the best way to defend from my attack.” Sakuradrop laughed. “However, I have infinite orbs at my disposal.”

Suddenly, twelve orbs materialized on Sakuradrops’ back. These orbs circled around her like a ferris wheel, awaiting for the caster’s orders. Seeing that the situation is getting worse, Alphonse, Danielle, and Z unleashed their attacks again. On the second time, Sakuradrop blocked the magical attacks with her cherry blossom shield.

“Let’s see how fast can you strike out my twelve psychic orbs!” Sakuradrop shouted. “If you managed to shoot them down, then I will spawn twelve more!”

But before Sakuradrop could command the orbs to launch, she noticed that six of the orbs has been pierced with my arrows that were teleported out earlier.

“What is this!?” Sakuradrop muttered.

I made a smug face. My gamble was a great win. During the course when I hit the psychic orbs with my arrow, I traced back the magical source using my Nexus Link. Once that I have made a connection to the source of the attack which is Sakuradrop, I used Blink to teleport the orbs and fuse it to her magical source. The struck orbs would reappear again once Sakuradrop materialized her psychic orbs together with the arrows that hit it.

Now that she’s infused to the weapons I forged, I can now use my ultimate combo against her!

“Now, Serena!” Alphonse cried out loud as he spread out his chains and wrapped one on my waist. He also used his chains to tag on Z and Danielle.

“Blink!”

In an instant, we four appeared just behind Sakuradrop. Much to her surprise, she would not have enough reaction time to run away or block our impending assault.

“Hraaaagh!!!” Alphonse wrapped his chains towards the body of Sakuradrop to prevent her movements.

“Elemental Storm!” Z flapped her wings and unleashed corroding elements that slowly melted Sakuradrop’s skin and dress.

“Finish her, Serena! Wind Blast!” Danielle flapped her fans with full force, launching me towards the restrained and weakened Sakuradrop. With the speed of a missile, I reached Sakuradrop in just a millisecond.

“D-Damn!” Sakuradrop muttered as she witnessed her impending doom.

“This is over!” I proclaimed my win as I created a gigantic portal that materialized a gargantuan golden sword. “Sword of Camelot!!!”
