Chapter 491: Third Fight: Dan & Gustavo VS Kamei & Orb 2
-----
Dan had yet to showcase his powers, but Gustavo had already shown that he wasn't going to sit and wait for the girls to attack! If they didn't attack, he was going to do it first!
The two were surprised to see the strange and transparent power that Gustavo possessed, a strange ability that helped him at pretty much disintegrating magic! However, it was said that it wasn't just that.
The girls had not heard this from Clementine's, but this power as more than just plain and simple anti-magic, it was a power he was born with innately, an energy that flowed across his body and had helped Gustavo negate the deadly power of diseases in the medieval times, helping him survive through rough times, as the last member of his family.
Across all the tragedies he has lived, he had been growing stronger through them and after becoming a Vampire, even if an old one, he had been practicing and improving the usage of this power to the point where he was capable of manipulating this strange and mysterious force!
But what was this force to begin with, what was its potential and capabilities? It was a complete mystery.
Kamei and Orb, however, were surprisingly observant despite their natures. They had already realized several things about this power, which they shared through Telepathy, a Skill they possessed from some time now, being a fairly common Skill Book dropped inside Orb's Dungeon.
First, they knew that it required Gustav to do something to bring it out. Even if it was a mere wave of his hand, or hitting the ground lightly with his staff, he required a certain action or pattern to bring it out. He couldn't simply do it without moving at all.
Second, to shape it, he also had to move his hands and arms, and his eyes also were very concentrated into it. the two girls noticed it as his dead-fish eyes became suddenly incredible focused when he conjured this strange power in the form of a spear and fired it at them by overcharging energy and firing it as if it were an invisible arrow spear.
And they also knew that this power could negate magic, but not completely and instantaneously! Even if it was incredibly fast as a process, the arrow of "nothingness" as the two girls called it, was able to negate magic by disintegrating it slowly from its runic level. The arrow touched the fortress and the entire fortress runes that made up this beautiful magical formation of holy light attribute began to fall apart constantly, as if many bricks making up a wall began to fall apart and the entire brick wall started to crumble.
The power of Gustav was indeed commendable and awe spiring by how it was capable of doing such a thing, not even other fighters they had seen before with their elemental attacks were able to destroy magic with such incredible ease.
The girls analyzed this power and found out that despite its apparent instantaneous negation of magic, it was not instantaneous! Kamei easily made up a way to counter it.
Just add more bricks to the damn brick wall! She loaded her fortress of magic with even more runes of magic, surprising Gustavo and Dan as the Arrow of Nothingness was incapable of breaking through it instantly, and as Kamei continuously made more runes into the fortress, it kept regenerating and resisting the spear arrow until it faded away and disappeared!
"Interesting, so you can do that, huh? Let's see if you can do it multiple times."
The girls once more noticed the same patterns, Gustav's eyes glowed with bright crimson-red light as he focused tremendously into the task, several spear arrows made of this nothingness surged out of thin air and flew towards the fortress! He had to wave his hands several times to do this too, but he also couldn't fire them at the same time, each one was fired after the other, and not at the same time!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The fortress resisted the hits as it continuously regenerated each hit was strong, but Kamei could handle it, and Orb who had a lot of mana as a dungeon, easily fueled her with enough energy to keep this up… infinitely!
Indeed… Orb's strongest asset as a dungeon was her immense quantities of refilling energy, every second she regained millions of divine energy, the two vampires fighting against them quickly realized this as this fortress seemed completely impenetrable, it never ran out of energy!
Gustavo had tried to do a battle of attrition against Kamei and see how much she could last, but apparently, she was lasting forever!
"What? Does she has infinite mana or something?!" asked Dan in horror.
"Interesting. So you can keep this up for a while. Do you plan to cage yourselves in that place though? It might prove to be a bad thing…" said Gustavo, he walked near the fortress in an instant, moving at incredible speed as he covered his fists with his power of nothingness, and then…!
CLAAAASSSSSSHHH!
A powerful palm strike hit the entire fortress, making it crack!
Crash!
However, the first maintained it up, as Orb saw this as an opportunity to strike!
"Hmph, interesting, so you can take my palm strike?" wondered Gustavo, as he continuously began to hit the fortress!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The people spectating this began to argue, they were calling out the girls as cowards by stalling out time like this!
"Shut up you lot! In this battle everything counts. If Gustavo is not capable of breaking a simple magic fortress, then it is on his weakness that he cannot, this doesn't count as cheating, don't be ridiculous." Sighed Clementine, the Vampires quickly shut up.
Frank smiled back at the scene, as Clementine squinted her eyes.
"Gustavo, don't disappoint me…" she sighed internally.
However, to her disappointment, Orb was acting now!
FLASH!
"Huh!?"
Suddenly, a massive formation of runes emerged out of thin air below Gustavo!
But they were not normal runes… they were Traps… Dungeon Traps!
"What is this?!"
