Chapter 75 075: Combat
The dinning hall was large, infact extremely large, and while there was an extremely long table in the middle of it, what was most prevalent was the massive chair sitting on a raised Dais. If Cole didn't know any better he would say that looked like a crown.
And as for the table, it was more like a conference table, arranged in a circle around a pentagram that at the moment was glowing a dull red while the mother of all Eldritch Gaze eyeball things floated there, using it's tentacles to attack the orc and Sylvain along with the two humans that were their party members.
"Morgan open fire on that eyeball, but focus it in sort bursts, keep it preoccupied so that I can find a soft spot." Cole ordered as he vanished into Morgan's shadow, and the Direwolf gave a small whine that was part mechanical and part animal.
When Cole reappeared out of the shadows, he was high upon the chandelier above the dining hall. The single candle that were ablaze on it was enough to cast multiple shadows across the entire dining hall.
Cole watched as the Orc brought the butt of blunderbuss smashing into the central body of the Truck sized giant eyeball. The creature was blown back, and that was the moment Morgan opened fire on the eye, popping it's gelatinous form full of holes.
[Eagle Sight] [Spiral Needle]
One of the humans that seemed to be playing some sort of sci fi mage. A trio of orbs that were at some point shooting out of beams of fire, ice, and lightning fell to the ground with a loud bang. The death shocked them long enough for one of the tentacle of the massive eyeball to smash into the chest of the orc.
Unfortunately it didn't kill him as the Orc could be heard groaning some meters away. Cole didn't stand on ceremony though, he was already picking his next target the moment his first had fallen to the ground.
Using [Chameleon] for the first time had been worth the use as he was completely assimilated into his environment. He sights were set on the orc, and Cole followed his body as it made an arch in the air, firing the moment he had landed.
[Homing Shot!]
The shot bounced the orc off the ground and brought it down once more with the Orc letting pained groans. Cole was not surprised, Orcs had high defense, whether hey we're fantasy orcs or sci fi ones. He pulled back the bolt on his rifle and slid another bullet in.
[Double Tap]
*Bang! Bang!*
The orc went silent immediately, as a tentacle went flying in Cole's direction. He [Shadow Danced] away as the chandelier blasted into hundreds of pieces that rained down on the two people and one big eyeball left.
Both the human and Sylvain brought up a sort of shield to protect their bodies. But Cole was already on the moved as he appeared in front of the human, coming out arm first, from a shadow cast being a pillar.
[Double Shot]
Her head hosted open as Cole rolled forwards, dodging the massive tentacles that came smashing down on his location. Morgan opened fire once again, keeping the eyeball container and screeching in pain as Cole pointed his arm backwards and blasted a [Chaos Blast] right onto the body of the boss.
*Boom!*
Cole vanished, shadow dancing to the back of the Sylvain and evading most of the damage from the [Chaos Blast] skill. The shield the Sylvain used before was used once again as it actually blocked the 'chaos' shrapnel that was flying every which way.
Cole smashed a foot in her back, throwing her forwards to come crashing to the ground as the boss let out a groaning sound of pain. Cole unceremoniously tossed another [Chaos Blast] at it, then rushed up to hold up the Sylvain as it went off.
The ensuing explosion blasted them both backwards, hitting the side of the round table and going over it. It was funny and weird that Cole would be so affected by his own skill, but the secret was in the name, after all I was called 'Chaos' then it was called 'Blast' Cole had enough experience to remember one very important facet of Titan Rising online, you can never take thing literally, but when it comes to skills, sometimes their fanciful names are not fanciful at all. Instead it would be a complete and accurate description of what the skill does.
The Sylvain groaned out in pain as a sword shot out of the dark towards Cole. He brought up the side of his revolver, tossing the blade to the side as someone appeared out of the dark. Then he remember that the Sylvain actually had three human partners, and not one.
Cole shadow danced away and appeared on the almost ruined to bits Eldritch giant eyeball premium grade. He let loose a quick [Obsidian Shot] and then moved away as the skill completely destroyed the eyeball.
Cole invited the system notification awarding him the kill, he let it hang there with the others that were still blinking in the background. The other human vanished into the shadows, while the Sylvain made a beeping for Cole, a revolver and a rapier in her hand, and fireballs appearing in the air behind her.
Fortunately Cole was not alone either as Morgan opened fire, accurately predicting where the hidden human would be, and letting loose a spray of lead that forced the hidden rogue out of hiding, unfortunately he was still alive.
[Gravity] sprung up into existence as Cole jumped, utilizing [High Jump] to go over the attacks sent his way. He landed back at the entrance of the dining hall, with Morgan behind him and a happy smile on his hidden face.
"well then, shall we dance, or you both going to be standing there looking like a couple of Candy ass bitches standing in a circle….. or is it Uni bitches? Hm… well…..come meet your executioner."
