Omega Summoner - Chapter 2130: Second Artillery Strike
The plan of the allied guild of the Evergreen guild is now set in motion. The airship that is powered by Salamander went up in the skies once more and dawned on the area of the Forest Swamp Abomination. Faust along with the vanguard group has started to do the second artillery strike.
Salamander was fed more magic crystals and released more flaming bombs on the Forest Swamp Abomination. One would think that the Forest Swamp Abomination would be burning once again but the Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn has thought of a countermeasure against the artillery strike. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn has also created flying units that has the ability to soar high in the skies.
These flying units were called the Foliage Wings as they are flying monsters that have been parasitized the same way as the Foliage Soldiers. These Foliage Wings were mindless monsters that can only listen to the commands of the corrupted dryads and corrupted leshy. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn was able to create a thousand of them in under a day.
The Foliage Wings did not try and attack the Salamander powered airship but would use their bodies as physical shields to stop the flaming bombs. The Foliage Wings would then explode into thorns as soon as they make contact with the flaming bombs. When the Foliage Wings successfully explodes into thorns, the flaming bombs would also explode in the sky and the flames would die down before they hit the ground.
Some flaming bombs managed to almost reach the Forest Swamp Abomination but there was now a powerful barrier being maintained by numerous corrupted dryads and corrupted leshy. One would see them sitting on top of the trees and singing curses to create a powerful barrier that enhanced the current one. This made the large Forest Swamp Abomination protected even if it is still inactive.
“As the I have thought, the enemy is now heavily protected and even managed to think of a way to counter my airship. Still, this will be enough as I am not the main attraction for this battle.” Faust stated as he continued on his artillery strike with all the magic crystals that he was given.
“Faust is doing his job. Mage unit, are you ready?” Peridot asked the others behind her. “Ready!” The mages replied as Peridot told them to cast six different elements per group.
Peridot divided the number of mages under her into six spell casters that will cast six different elemental spells. The mages did not know why Peridot told them to do so but they all heeded her command regardless. She was the one assigned as the leader for this unit which is why her commands in battle will be absolute.
“Great job guys.” Peridot stated as she broke a peculiar stone that shined in six different colors.
“Harmony!” Peridot stated as a magic circle that has six different colors appeared on top of the mage unit.
All six different elemental spells that she had the mage unit cast were suddenly sucked inside of this magic circle. With each completed spell, the magic circle became bigger and stronger in terms of mana capacity. Peridot controlled this spell perfectly as she sacrificed a mythical tier gem in order to not mess it up. When all of the elemental spells finally combined together and amplify their damage, she clutched her hand, and the magic circle suddenly turned into a gem.
The newly created gem was larger than the one that she used before, but she was not done. Peridot turned this gem into a bullet to which she gave to their best sniper in the guild who is Silent Ghost. Silent Ghost accepted the bullet and loaded it up into his sniper rifle. He relaxed his body as the target was the middle area where one of Awraka’s shadow eyes was planted.
Awraka’s shadow eyes are basically like shadow shikigami that could be used to monitor any area for 24 hours. She could use at most five of them simultaneously, but she cannot activate all of them at the same time. The shadow eyes are also the perfect way for surveillance as the latches onto shadows of the living without them noticing it. Even Adrian thought that this skill was busted because it can attach to him without him noticing it.
Only another being that can control shadows can detect such a thing. Sirius can easily detect it and swatted it like a fly when it detected such a thing latching onto his master’s shadow. He said that the master’s shadow is his domain which is why he will guard it with his life. Awraka could also share the vision of the shadow eyes with another being, but it does take lots of mana when the distance is large.
“I have a lock on the target. Hooo! Quick Silent Shot!” Silent Ghost stated calmly as the gem bullet is fired from his weapon.
The sound that was released from Silent Ghost’s weapon was incredibly subtle. It sounded like a fast mosquito zipping through another person’s face. They will only hear the sound if they had keen senses and near their ears. The bullet was incredibly fast as it traversed half the distance within a span of two seconds.
The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn felt something was amiss, but she was unable to react in time as she was focused on the airship above. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn or the other dryads did not notice that a bullet was able to pierce their barrier. Th bullet was able to pierce the barrier as Silent Ghost has an interesting passive skill that lets him pierce through barriers or defenses when he takes at least ten seconds to aim and fire.
The bullet pierced through the barrier and went straight to the chrysalis of the Black Fairy Mavros. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn only noticed the bullet when she heard a sound near the chrysalis. A beautiful gem filled with immense mana of different elements is suddenly lodged on the surface of the chrysalis. Silent Ghost was a bit ashamed as his attack did not pierce the chrysalis as that was the best-case scenario that was briefed to him.
To Silent Ghost, the bullet not penetrating inside of the chrysalis is a failure but the other players that saw what he did were terrified. The distance from him and the chrysalis was five kilometers but he was able to accurately hit a target even if he can only see it via a shared image. The talent needed to do what he did was incredibly insane as the observers felt that they could be killed by him as long as everything was set up.
“Such a blunder.” Silent Ghost stated which made all of the people near him strain their eyes from the disbelief of his words.
“You did well. That is all that matters.” Awraka stated as if this was already a normal conversation in their lives.
“Perfect. Thanks, you two.” Peridot stated as she assumed her dragon form and flew towards the Forest Swamp Abomination.
The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn inspected the small hole in the chrysalis and tried to get the colorful bullet out, but she was suddenly alerted of a dragon with unusual features flying towards them. This dragon was none other than Peridot as she transformed back into her humanoid form when she was close enough.
“Dissonance!” Peridot stated as half of her mana suddenly vanished.
The corrupted dryads and corrupted leshy did not attack Peridot instantly as she was merely flying above them, but Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn suddenly felt a powerful energy rising from the chrysalis where the Black Fairy Mavros was gathering power. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn suddenly feared that the bullet lodged in the chrysalis was the one that is growing in power. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn did not care what will happen to her as she turned her hands into spears and tried to take out the bullet, but she was too late.
An explosion of great force and six different elements razed the area that they were in. The sound of the painful scream of the Black Fairy Mavros echoed as she was forcefully expelled from her chrysalis. The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn could also be seen losing almost half of her body but is still alive due to the tenacity of a dryad.
“Who dares!” The Black Fairy Mavros shouted as she now looks like a teenager as she has managed to gather enough strength to assume a more aged form.
The Black Fairy Mavros could be seen looking at Peridot in pure rage as she saw the dryads and leshy around her in great pain. Some even died due to the explosion that was equivalent to an Elemental Catastrophe. The Black Fairy Mavros screamed but her voice was also enchanted with a curse. The powerful sound waves created by her scream is headed towards Peridot.
“I am done.” Adrian stated as he once again appeared but now behind Peridot.
