Zombolution: Unleash the Undying Power

Chapter 221: Unexpected Attack

Cassandra’s frustration with Ophelia’s elusive maneuvers reached its peak, fueling her determination to intensify the attack. Gritting her teeth in anger, she exclaimed, "I’ve had enough of your games, Ophelia! I’ll put an end to this now!" With a swift movement of her hands, she activated her ’Ice Blade Barrage’ skill.

Numerous ice blades materialized, swirling menacingly around her before launching towards Ophelia in a targeted assault. The blades, gleaming sharply, cut through the air with a high-pitched whistle, each aimed precisely at Ophelia.

Ophelia, in response, remained surprisingly calm and collected. She watched the incoming blades with a playful smirk, almost as if enjoying the challenge Cassandra presented. "Oh, Cassandra, is this your best attempt? How adorable!" she taunted, her voice dripping with mockery.

Skillfully maneuvering her guns, she shot at the incoming ice blades. Each shot was precise and calculated, effortlessly shattering the blades into fragments that scattered harmlessly to the ground.

As Ophelia countered the attack, her body swayed gracefully, evading the shards with ease. Her movements were fluid and confident, a stark contrast to Cassandra’s aggressive stance.

Fueled by her rising anger, Cassandra refused to be discouraged by Ophelia’s playful mockery. With a fierce glare, she shouted, "You won’t be laughing for long, Ophelia! I’ll bury you under a hailstorm!" Channeling her rage, she raised her hands, summoning her ’Hailstorm Arrow’ skill. As she swept her arms forward, a barrage of ice arrows formed, each one sharp and menacing, launching towards Ophelia in a torrent of cold fury.

The arrows, glinting in the light, exploded on impact, creating a breathtaking spectacle of ice and snow that enveloped the battlefield. Cassandra’s face was set in a determined scowl, her eyes burning with the intent to end the fight. Her every movement was forceful, imbued with the full extent of her power, as she continued to unleash arrow after arrow.

Ophelia, however, maintained her composure amidst the icy onslaught. She moved with an almost balletic grace, easily sidestepping the arrows. Each movement was a display of her agility and confidence, her smile never wavering. As she avoided the attacks, she chuckled, "Really, Cassandra? Is that all you can do? You’ll have to try harder than that!"

Her tone was laced with condescension, clearly enjoying the challenge and Cassandra’s growing frustration. With each nimble dodge and weave, Ophelia seemed to be dancing through the storm of arrows, turning the deadly attack into a performance of her agility.

Cassandra’s rage reached its zenith, pushing her to abandon any form of subtlety in her attacks. "Enough playing around, Ophelia! I’ll bury you here and now!" she yelled, her voice a mix of anger and resolve. She activated her ’Avalanche Charge’, wrapping herself in a swirling mass of ice and snow. Her movements were forceful and direct as she charged towards Ophelia, her weapon poised for a devastating blow.

Ophelia, observing Cassandra’s aggressive approach, let out a chuckle. "Really, Cassandra? Do you think such a straightforward attack will work on me?" she taunted, her smile playful yet devious. As Cassandra neared, Ophelia leaped high into the air, gracefully avoiding the charge. Hovering above Cassandra, she aimed her guns down at her. "Bye bye," she said with a smirk, ready to pull the trigger.

Cassandra, however, was not caught off guard. She quickly raised her shield, activating her ’Frozen Aegis’. A large ice shield materialized in front of her, blocking Ophelia’s gunfire. The shield was massive and glistened under the light, reflecting Ophelia’s shots. "You’ll have to do better than that!" Cassandra shouted, her face a picture of intense focus.

Seizing the opportunity, Cassandra then unleashed her ’Cryogenic Blast’, firing a concentrated beam of freezing energy straight at Ophelia. Her arms extended forward, guiding the powerful beam towards her target, her expression one of fierce determination.

Ophelia, still smiling, responded to the challenge. She transformed her Elemental Cascade into a cannon, countering the freezing beam with a blast of her own energy. "Let’s see how you handle this!" she exclaimed.

The two beams collided in mid-air, creating a spectacular explosion. The collision sent waves of energy rippling through the air, lighting up the battlefield with a dazzling display of light and power.

Cassandra, standing firm, pushed more energy into her attack, her face contorted with effort. Ophelia, hovering above, matched her power, the cannon in her hands roaring with energy.

The standoff between them was a testament to their strength and willpower, each determined to overpower the other in this high-stakes duel.

As the standoff between Cassandra’s Cryogenic Blast and Ophelia’s counterattack continued, it became apparent that Cassandra’s attack was gradually being overpowered. The beams clashed with a violent surge of energy, but Ophelia’s cannon was proving to be stronger.

Cassandra’s frustration escalated as she realized her attack was being pushed back. Her face contorted with anger, her eyes burning with the desire to win this battle. Ophelia, on the other hand, wore a triumphant smile, her confidence growing as she gained the upper hand.

In the midst of this intense exchange, Vincent, who had been waiting in the shadows, decided it was time to make his move. "It’s time to move," he murmured to himself, his voice low and determined. With a swift motion, he emerged from the shadows, ready to strike.

Vincent, moving with speed and precision, launched an attack. However, in a shocking turn of events, the target of Vincent’s attack was not Ophelia, but Cassandra. The suddenness of his move caught everyone by surprise.

Cassandra, who was already struggling against Ophelia’s attack, was taken aback by Vincent’s unexpected assault. Her concentration broke, and her face showed a mixture of confusion and betrayal. "Vincent, what are you doing?" she exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief.

Ophelia, equally surprised by this development, ceased her attack and stepped back, her smile turning into a curious smirk. "What’s this? Changing sides, are we?" she asked, her tone playful yet intrigued by the sudden change in dynamics.

Vincent, having disrupted the battle, stood between Cassandra and Ophelia. His expression was serious, and his body language suggested a calculated decision rather than a betrayal. "There’s a reason for this," he said calmly, his eyes fixed on Cassandra.

Cassandra, recovering from the initial shock, tried to understand Vincent’s motives. She lowered her weapon slightly but remained on guard, unsure of what to expect next.
