Chapter 129: Chapter 129 - Air Behemoths Cage
Both of them stopped shooting as the dust that accumulated because of the intense destruction and dirt upon the field and factory started to slowly fade away.
As the dust went away both of them didn't need to look from the scope as they could clearly see what had happened there.
"What the hell is that thing!"
William said with shock evident in his voice as he looked at the strange thing on the battlefield.
[ A Few Moments Before ]
As Balos and the remaining members of the nierman bike gang went inside the factory all of them started to wait for the inevitable doom that awaited them.
Balos thought crazily over how he can protect them or even just be able to protect himself. He thought of every trick, plan, mischief and spell he could think of.
And right when the chaos outside stopped abruptly he too had a revelation as he thought about the one spell that could not only protect him but also protect his remaining gang members.
But for that spell to work at its best he needed a lot of mana and right now because he had to use a few small spells to avoid getting injured he didn't have a full capacity of mana.
Balos thought about how to get rid of that problem and suddenly his eyes widened as he looked behind him at the remaining pale faces of every body that were still alive and had an idea.
'Yes, I could use them. Right now there my and im theirs only hope so we need to do these if we want to survive whoever these motherfuc*ers that are shooting at us.'
He looked towards his remaining gang members and a few other females who had not only lost their temporary boyfriends but also their hope. He looked towards them with a fire in his eyes as he said.
"Guys do you want to survive those blasts out there?"
The remaining people looked at him like he was an idiot or something and one of them said.
"Are you f*cking with us, Balos? Can't you see how desperately we are trying to save ourselves."
"Yes, I can. But any of you guys have any bright ideas that may help us out at this moment."
"If we had then wouldn't we have used it by now!" Another guy screamed at him.
"Why are you asking us for ideas, Aren't you our leader? Isn't this one of the times where you are supposed to help us out."
"Yeah, Yeah. He's right, you know. This is one of your responsibilities as leader so think about something, Man! Otherwise we will get crushed under this pile of dirt and rubbish." Another guy said to him.
He looked at the few people that were screaming at him for his incompetence and some who were begging him for help and he made a mental note of who said what to him.
'After I get out of this mess, I need to clear out some of these pesky rats from the gang.'
'But looking at this small number of people, What point is there to remove anymore. let's see if there will stll be any remaining after this situation is over.'
He looked at them with a different meaning in his eyes as he screamed loudly for everyone to hear.
"Yes, What you're saying is correct. This is indeed my responsibility. I should be the one to protect you guys and I am also the one to blame for not protecting our other fallen brothers." Balos said it with as much emotion he could fake so that he might get the best results out of them.
"And because of their hard work over the years and sacrifice, I am going to use a spell that will absolutely protect us from this problem."
"If you already had a spell like that then WHY the HELL didn't you use it before?" A new member of the bike gang who was bleeding from his sides screamed at Balos.
Balos was angry at being interrupted so abruptly but didn't look like that on his face. On the contrary he had a sad face as he said.
"Yes, you're right about that too."
"Because the spell is too powerful to use, It takes up a lot of my lifespan every time I use it. But … if I did use it before, maybe all of our other remaining brothers would have still been alive." Balos made up a small lie to get greater effect from them.
"Yeah, you should have used it you fuc*ing mother*ucke-" The same new member tried to throw curses at him but was punched by the guy next too him.
"Shut up you fool! What idiot would have used his own lifespan to save others. I know that it was selfish of him but he was only trying to protect himself."
"But none of that matters anymore as he is willing to use it on us so why are you guys still unsatisfied with it." He said as the other people slowly nodded their heads as they encouraged Balos and some even thanked him for his sacrifice.
He looked at these people like they were fools but only from inside and told them.
"Bu- But there is still one problem with it you guys."
"What is it tell us? all of us will quickly find a solution to that as fast as we can."
"The spell also needs a lot of mana which I don't have much at this moment."
"Oh that's it. We can help you with it. Just do what you need to do and we will help you with it."
"Thank you guys, now I am sure that with all of us combined nothing will be able to hurt us."
"Alright then give me all of your mana."
Balos said and all of them started to give him mana, even the reluctant ones.
After feeling that he had enough mana he casted his strongest defensive spell he had.
Suddenly a huge amount of air came out of nowhere as it swelled around all of them and it slowly started to surround them as it spinned in a very high speed counter clockwise.
Looking at the shield, all of them rejoiced as Balos thought with hope.
'Now let's hope those bastar*s don't do anything that might defy what we know in common.'
[ Back on the Hill ]
William and Delmar didn't need to use the scope of the Mana Railgun to see what was happening there as it became pretty evident from where they were sitting.
They looked at the big dome of a highly condensed air that was swirling around the last remaining people as William asked.
"Delmar, What the shi* is that?"
Delmar thought for a moment before he replied.
"That right there is a problem."
"Meaning?"
"It's a level four spell that is one of the best Air Affinity spells available out there."
"And looking at how condensed and at how much speed the winds are rotating I am sure that it's at its peak mastery."
"So does that mean we won't be able to pierce it then?"
"Not with what we have over here, No."
William thought for a moment before he asked.
"What about using the OVERDRIVE?"
