Chapter 498 Third party (7)
Things could have become real messy if the wind titan could summon creatures that could use electric attacks. Still, the Jin was a group of creatures that could do a lot with wind alone. The soldiers, adventurers, and anyone else that came to help still were fighting in the middle of the night. It didn’t seem like they had much time to rest.While using earth magic, Billy looked for the presence of his wives around the area, and fortunately, he found their presence and sighed in relief. He also found Alexander and Lily’s, so he couldn’t have asked for more. It was hard to identify Svan’s presence among so many people since he didn’t have much mana, though. Regardless, Billy headed to where they were, and the moment he arrived, everyone turned around after feeling his presence.
”Billy!” Everyone said in unison.
”It seems that I arrived in time…” Billy said, and then he looked around and also saw Svan and his daughter fighting some jins. “Everyone looks so exhausted… I suppose it can’t be helped.”
”Did you deal with the ice titan?” Kate asked.
”Yes… But I didn’t do it alone,” Billy said. “In any case, I didn’t expect that I would find something like this here as well.”
Billy explained what happened in the samurai state. The others didn’t seem that surprised since they expected that Billy would win somehow. However, he also brought some bad news.
”That cyclone is a lot stronger than the one I destroyed… Perhaps I can destroy yet, but not without risking spreading a lot of destruction around,” Billy said.
Fortunately, the cyclone wasn’t moving, but thanks to the powerful winds, no one could set tents, and most of the vegetation and trees had been destroyed thanks to it. So, everyone could only rest in some improvised houses of Earth that his friends made, but even their power with Spiritual Core had a limitation.
”Hey, it has been a while,” Svan said after he approached. “I heard a bit of what you said… I didn’t think that the titans would be much stronger than each other, but I guess we got unlucky here.”
”I can feel its presence, and I can say that their power is basically on the same level. The real problem is the nature of their abilities,” Billy said. “You can endure cold. It isn’t like it will kill you instantly, at least in most situations. You have time to act before the worse happens. However, that thing is different. It can control wind and evolve into lightning. Once you get hit, unless you have an indomitable will and a body strong enough to withstand the energy, you will be paralyzed and slowly or perhaps killed pretty fast.”
”Well, coming from you, that is probably true,” Svan said. “You can use lightning, after all. As if that isn’t troublesome enough, forcefully getting rid of the tornado will probably send everyone flying in different directions, and it will damage this state more than a little bit. We managed to make a containment zone, but that won’t help in this scenario.”
”Anything else you guys want to say?” Billy asked.
”The cyclone is getting stronger day by day,” Alexander said.
”The same thing happened with the one I deal with… Those creatures are essentially skeletons and pure wind, so their bodies are being absorbed by the cyclone after they die,” Billy said while he watched a group slaying one monster that was approaching.
From up close, Billy could see that Jins didn’t have legs, they floated thanks to their Wind Manipulation, and they had arms that could be used as cannons. Their bodies are semi-transparent, but they emit a gleaming, phantasmal glow. It was quite unsettling…
”So, even without moving, the titan is getting more powerful… Just what we needed,” Natalie said.
Billy didn’t think too much about it when he was with the samurai, but now he felt like facing the titans was like facing a living natural disaster. Somehow, they managed to contain the damage created by the monster by acting fast, but it was only a matter of time before things got out of hand. If Billy waits for Icarus and Lucyna, perhaps he can come up with some plans to end things as swiftly as possible. They were the type of guys who would have an easier time with their skills against the wind titan.
”Well, I am a bit tired since I came running after the battle against the ice titan, so my head isn’t that clear,” Billy said. “I will rest for a while and see what we can do.”
The others nodded. They could see that Billy’s boot was a bit wet, and it was because his feet were bleeding. He truly needed some time to rest… All that movement caused that to him. Regardless, the others also thought that they needed to come up with some ideas, but all of their options seemed way too limited. Fighters like Alexander, Lily, and Natalie could only think of strategies that would be possible for them, so it was no surprise that things wouldn’t go well. Still, it was better than having a crazy idea and trying to pull it out without doing anything involved with their fighting style. Still, thanks to Billy’s arrival, they all had the same idea and shared it with him when he woke up.
”Creating a tunnel to pass through the storm to ignore the wind and lightning bolts?” Billy asked after he heard their plan.
”It is possible, isn’t it?” Lily asked.
”I wouldn’t say that it is impossible, but if we do that, we might end up finding ourselves in the eye of the storm,” Billy replied. “If we cause enough damage, we might stop the storm without causing damage to the state, but if we take our time, we will be attacked with the monster’s full power. Our weapons will work as conductors, and we will be hit with one hundred percent of a chance.”
