Pride Online

Chapter 647: The Weaponized Fortress Part III

“You’re faster now, Emilia. You attacked before my illusion was even created.”

Maysa appeared at Emilia’s side. She grinned at Emilia. At that moment when Emilia was trying to cast a spell on her, another Maysa popped up behind her.

“What will you do if there’re two illusions at the same time?”

“...!!”

This time, Emilia opened her eyes widely in surprise because two Maysas pointed the pistols at her.

Bang!!

The Illusion pistols were loud. Emilia did not have much choice but to cast a stone wall to guard the bullets. But that was a bad move since those two were...

“Two illusions!?”

“Correct.”

Bloody Shot

Bang!!

4,002,512

Again, Emilia miscalculated it. Maysa was now standing in another direction and the illusions slowly faded away. The grey-eyed lady winked at her and disintegrated. Emilia gritted her teeth so tightly!

She could not catch this woman no matter what she did!

She tried to calculate her every movement, but she still could not do it. She was tricked into draining her MP and HP for nothing.

Bang!!

A gunshot sounded again and Maysa reappeared. Emilia tried to fight the illusions so many times after that, but it was useless. This girl’s attack was formless. She could not even predict one percent of her.

The more she let those illusions trick her, the more HP she lost. Emilia started to realize that it was worthless to be gentle. She would be at a disadvantage if she did not finish it fast!!

Her blue eyes shone brightly, and no one knew if that was because of her prompt decision or anger. She raised her right hand up and a terrifying magical light flashed.

“I’m done. No matter where you are, die!!”

Grave Sand

BOOM!!

Emilia’s greatest magic was immediately performed. Thousands of thorns dashed out of the ground in a two-hundred-meter radius around her. It was almost impossible to dodge.

“O...ouch...”

As expected, Emilia heard a moan from her left side. There, Maysa was being penetrated by a giant spear. Her grey eyes lost a sign of life in a flash before she gushed out a lot of blood. She gritted her teeth.

“Y... You didn’t have to go this far.” Maysa could barely talk.

“I knew that your real self wouldn’t be far from your illusion, no matter how good you are. You can’t possibly dodge this.”

Emilia said and sighed in relief. Maysa gritted her teeth.

“T... This is cheating. I can’t dodge like this!”

Maysa scolded her. Emilia finally smiled. She sighed softly. At the same time, the penetrated girl also did the same.

Emilia was frozen in place.

“Oh well.”

Maysa grinned and slowly pointed up at the sky. Emilia stared at Maysa for a while before she realized that she should have followed Maysa’s finger!

Bloody Shot

Bang!

4,800,236

The bullet shot at the small girl. She was startled. Her blue eyes were opened widely and so much damage was done. She gushed out so much blood that she dropped to the ground on her knees. Seeing the enemy dodging her attack was bad enough, her condition now was even worse!

“W... What’s this? The Bloody (haemorrhage) status?”

“A little off. It’s actually the ‘Hemolysis’ curse.” Maysa grinned. “It’s a high-level curse that continuously reduces the player’s HP until he dies. It took a lot for me to put it on you. As expected of the player with the highest defense power in Pride.”

“A curse...”

Emilia murmured with her eyes widely opened. And she knew that this curse could not be healed with the general healing magic that she had. If she did not run to Nero or Scarlet who possessed high-level healing magic, she would definitely die.

She glared at Maysa with both rancor and confusion.

Maysa only let out a long sigh.

“Now that we’re here, I’ll give you a hint, Emilia.” Maysa grinned. “Are you not suspecting anything at all about where I’m standing right now?”

“...Where you’re standing?” Emilia muttered softly. “What do you mean by that!?”

“Do you really not find it familiar?”

Maysa asked again. The more she did that, the more confused Emilia was. What about it? It was only a building that almost collapsed. ...Almost collapsed?

Wait a minute! She just hit it with the thorns. Maysa jumped down from it and fought her. The building should have been destroyed already, but it was still there like nothing happened. And Maysa also stood there.

‘Don’t tell me...’

“You guessed it?” Maysa grinned. “I’ve been standing here from the start. You’ve been tricked by my illusion to run around like a mad lad.”

“I... Impossible!”

Emilia shouted. She had been tricked all along? This woman had been controlling everything ever since before the fight started and Emilia had been following her around with the calculation that she would never find the answer!

Seeing Emilia’s face, Maysa let out a scoff.

“It looks like your brain really is a supercomputer.” She giggled. “It seems like a good thing to be able to calculate accurately, but a computer’s still a computer. You get so lost when you’re tricked. You’re so straightforward it makes me sad. It’s a huge weakness that you have just like what Mr. Sander said.”

That provocation worked. Emilia’s eyes twitched. She gritted her teeth tightly before she stood up and cast a spell so fast!

“Don’t underestimate me,” Emilia muttered. “Do you think you’re winning, Maysa? Did you forget what I have? With it, your illusion is nothing!”

The small girl shouted loudly and flicked her hand to call up the magic characters on the ground.

It was obvious that the characters were for summoning a beast. Maysa looked at it with a straight face.

‘The earth is the body. The root is the blood. The rock is the heart.

I summon you, the Earth Goddess, Gaia!’

BOOM!!!

Once the casting was over, a giant hand punched out of the ground where the magic characters were. It pushed its gigantic body up and caused so much vibration on earth.

A moment later, a thirty-meter-tall figure stood up. The Earth Goddess growled so loudly. Emilia stared at Maysa.

“Take her, Gaia!!”

Crash!!!

As soon as the order was passed, Gaia slammed her hand where Maysa was, and the building finally crumbled. Emilia was confident that Maysa had already been killed.

Even with the illusion, no magic worked on Gaia!

“HAHAHAHAHA.” Emilia laughed out loud for the first time. “Now it’s over, Maysa. I must admit that you’re good, but it’s not enough.”

She laughed so loudly like she had lost her mind. Her cool had been completely wiped out. She looked up at Gaia with a smile. She panted so harshly.

“Now it’s time to destroy the ship.”

She was about to walk away.

Crack~

At that moment, the sound of someone pulling the trigger was heard. The blue eyes were opened widely. A cold metal was at Emilia’s neck again. How many times had she been outplayed like this? That did not matter anymore.

What was more important was...

“W... Why are you still alive? A... And how can you still use your magic?”

Emilia asked softly. She did not have to turn around to see that it was Maysa!!

“And why can’t I use my illusion with you, Emilia?”
