The Author's POV

Chapter 351

A powerful ripple of energy swept past as an axe clashed against a wooden staff. A shocking scene ensued after the two weapons collided. Instead of the staff breaking apart upon making contact with the axe, the axe bounced off the body of the staff and a small opening appeared.

"You think your mediocre weapon can go against my staff? An ranked artifact?"

Durara mocked.

She obviously did not miss the opening. Pushing her palm forward, her hand touched Ultruk's bare body.

BANG—

A powerful blast sounded and Ultruk was pushed backward, only halting when his back crashed against the wall behind him.

Durara had come on top at their first true exchange.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

Not so far from them, the situation with Waylan looked a lot more controlled. He skillfully blocked the attacks coming from the duergars standing behind Durara.

Pushing his plan forward, a thick energy blast shot at terrifying speed towards the duergar in the distance.

But, they were well prepared. Upon seeing Waylan's powerful attack, the duergars chose not to panic. Throwing several small boxes on the floor, five large transparent barriers formed right in front of them.

BANG—

Right as the barriers formed, Waylan's attack reached the duergars' position.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The moment his attack touched the barriers, three of them instantly tore apart as transparent shards of mana diffused in the air.

But that was as far as the attack could go. By the time the first barrier broke, Waylan's attack lost half of its power, and with each progressive barrier that broke, the weaker his attack became.

It wasn't long before his attack completely disappeared, leaving behind two intact barriers.

"Damn it…"

Staring at the scene in front of him, Waylan silently cursed.

Although he didn't show it outwardly, I could tell that he was running low on mana. He still hadn't recovered from his previous battle. Even though it was faint, if one paid close attention, they would notice that the hue surrounding his body had dimmed a little.

'…Things are not looking good.'

Although it was premature of me to say that they were both at a disadvantage, from how things were going, even if Waylan and Ultruk did end up winning, the two would be at their last breaths by that time and essentially become even more useless than the current me.

Taking my eyes away from Waylan's fight and turning my attention back towards Ultruk who seemed to still be in top shape, I spoke inside of my mind, addressing a certain someone.

'Do you think your bloodline suppression can effect Durara?'

[…What do you mean?]

Angelica responded inside of my mind.

'If I were to somehow manage to get you close to Durara, do you think your bloodline can suppress her powers, even if it's a little bit?'

If I could, somehow, get Angelica close to Durara in her tooth form and then have her appear from behind and suppress the latter with her bloodline, we could gain the edge we need to win.

After contemplating for a bit on how I could help, and running multiple different scenarios inside of my head, it was the best solution that came into my mind.

Although it would be unrealistic to say that Angelica could suppress Durara by a lot due to the massive gap in strength, it might be enough to give Ultruk an advantage, or so I hoped.

[That's impossible.]

Pouring cold water onto my ideas, Angelica denied the possibility.
