Chapter 76 - Ch 76 : Eve's Strategy

' Okay, let's try to think of a way to get past through that annoying red scarf.'

Even after his attack was blocked by the Red Kuntilanak, Ray didn't feel discouraged at all.

There was already too much failure in his life, and adding one more definitely would not hurt.

Ray was still working his head as hard as he could when he suddenly noticed a red scarf coming in his direction.

" Be careful!"

Eve's figure appeared from Ray's shadow and threw him away to avoid the red scarf.

Actually, Ray didn't really need that help as his danger sense had already warned him. Still, it was a fact that Eve tried to save him, and Ray appreciated that.

" Don't be dazed. That Red scarf has an auto-attack ability, and if you are not careful, you will be caught by it. Right now, only you, me, and Mira were left, and we would definitely lose this battle if you are to get caught by the Red Kuntilanak."

" I know. I'll be more careful next time."

Eve who saw Ray like this, shook her head. Ray was still too inexperienced, and even though he might be stronger than he looks, his inexperience might lead to his doom in his dungeon.

" Okay, I'll lead the way and try to block the Red scarf. Mira will cover from the back with her blazing arrow, and if you can, try to score a hit at the Red Kuntilanak."

Eve told her battle plan to Ray, and since Ray had no better plan, he decided to stick with Eve's plan.

In fact, Eve's plan was the most suitable for their current situation. It might not be a super-smart plan, but it could be said as the one that was carefully thought of.

The two nodded at each other to gave signaled that they were ready, and at the moment when the red scarf was going to attack them once again, Eve and Ray started to move.

" To the left!"

With her B-rank danger sense, Eve could somehow predict the trajectory of the red scarf. She easily led Ray through the first few attack of the red scarf, and now they have closed their distance to the Red Kuntilanak.

" After this, the number of the red scarves was too much to be avoided. I will use my shadow skill to make a barrier; try to find an angle to launch your attack!"

As they got closer to the Red Kuntilanak, Eve's words became the truth.

Ray could see that the Red Kuntilanak was flying high in the air and was surrounded by countless Red scarves hovering around her.

KYAHKK!!! Kill.... Kill everyone....

Along with those words, the Red Kuntilanak pointed her finger at Ray and Eve, and about a hundred red scarves immediately rushed in their direction.

" Mira, now!"

Ten blazing arrows were launched from Mira's place to block the first round of red scarves. Maybe because it was still a cloth, the red scarves weren't immune to fire, and some of them were burnt by Mira's blazing arrow.

Still, it was a bit too early if they wanted to celebrate.

Even after some of them were burned down by Mira's blazing arrow, the number of Red scarves aiming at them didn't seem to decrease at all.

Eve who saw this, immediately gritted her teeth. Her hand made a bull shadow puppet, and from her shadow, a shadow bull appeared.

" Moo!"

The appearance of the shadow bull was not that long. It came to block the red scarves, and when it did its role, it directly disappeared.

Ray saw the attack was stopped by Eve's shadow bull and had his eyes glimmered. It was the closest he ever had to the Red Kuntilanak, and there was no better chance to attack than now.

His hand summoned his Natal weapon, the rock, and threw three of it in the direction of the red scarves to trigger his passive.

Now that his passive was already on, ray placed the bluish shining rock in the holy staff slingshot.

Aiming it at the head of the Red Kuntilanak, and only when he was hundred percent sure that he released it.

" Let's do this, True Holy Stone!"

The stone that now has a blue and white glow on it was launched in the direction of the Red Kuntilanak. It flew through the gaps of the Red scarves and successfully hit the eye of the Red Kuntilanak.

BOOM!!!

Ray's eyes widened as he saw the stone was able to hit its target.

The Red kuntilanak screamed in pain, and all the red scarves surrounding her disappeared.

The attack just now was just too effective, and it seems that it was able to bring the Red Kuntilanak out from its second phase.

The Red Kuntilanak fell to the ground and seemed to be weakened a lot.

.

[ DING!!! The Red Kuntilanak have entered a weakened state.]

[ Special skill red scarves have been disabled, and now the Red Kuntilanak could only do some melee combat.]

.

A notification came into Ray's mind as the Red Kuntilanak fell down.

Ray could see that the Red Kuntilanak should have more than 60% of its health left, and if they were not careful, it might do other bullshit things like the Red scarves attack once more.

*Swoosh*

Ray's figure flashed, and it appeared right in front of the Red Kuntilanak. He swung the holy staff slingshot powerfully into the Red Kuntilanak's face.

SLAM!!

The Red Kuntilanak felt that attack, and its back nearly bent backward, but somehow it was able to stomp down and withstood the hit.

'….!!'

The attack just now had all of Ray's power in one swing, so seeing that Red Kuntilanak could take it like it was nothing, Ray couldn't help but get taken by surprise.

Kill... Kill..... Killl...

The Red Kuntilanak's eyes were filled with madness. It wanted to kill those puny humans and tear their flesh away. She screamed the word "Kill" Multiple times as death auras converged around her.

Too bad, there was no time for her to power up because Eve's blade flew in afterward.

Swish-!!

Eve swung her blade enhanced with the shadow power on the neck of the Red Kuntilanak, and even though it didn't kill her in one hit, the attack just now still gravely wounded her.

The Red Kuntilanak stopped screaming and shifted its horrifyingly crumpled expression towards Eve and Ray. The death aura stopped converging around her, but Ray could see that the atmosphere around the Red Kuntilanak had changed.

"You dare!!"

It was the first time the Red Kuntilanak spoke with fluent words, and that somehow brought chills to Ray, Eve, and Mira.

" I'm going to engage in a close combat; you guys try to find an opportunity to sneak behind and kill her." Ray looked at both Eve and Mira seriously. He knew that it was the last phase of this battle, and their survival would depend on this.

As Ray and the Red Kuntilanak stared at each other, the distance between them shortened faster and faster.

Soon, they were only separated by a few meters. And then, without a hint of hesitation or mercy, they began exchanging countless attacks, each thumping hit carrying all their might.

Slam!!

Kaboom!!

BOOM!!

Eve and Mira, who were watching from the sideline, were all stupefied into silence.

Light and dark collided with each other whenever Ray and the Red Kuntilanak exchanged their blow.

The Red Kuntilanak was very strong, but because Ray's holy staff slingshot was too effective, her combat capability had been decreased by almost 60%, making her an equal opponent to Ray. 

"Woo-wuoop…"

" Mira, it's not the right time to daze off! We must quickly help Ray to finish this thing!"

Mira, who was reprimanded by Eve, felt a bit ashamed, but she quickly recovered. Her eyes shone with brilliant light as she saw Ray was able to hold the Red Kuntilanak by himself, and now Mira's hand was placed on her bow.

Eve also didn't want to lose. She used her shadow control ability to make a giant shadow blade and was ready to strike anytime.

As time passed, the battle between Ray and the Red Kuntilanak became even more severe.

The ground beneath them cracked from the shockwave created by their collision, and the air surrounding them changed.

Nonetheless, such a long battle didn't place a small burden on both of them. Some openings started to be created on the Red Kuntilanak's body.

She could no longer maintain her focus on the three awakeners as now all her focus was placed on Ray.

Ray's attack was just way too ferocious and deadly, and if she were not careful enough, it would be fatal for her.

Crack! Crack!

BOOMM!!!

All of a sudden, a big opportunity was created by Ray. He trusted his holy staff slingshot at the Red Kuntilanak's face, and she tried to block it with her sharp claw.

However, maybe because the battle was too straining, the sharp claw was no longer able to hold the damage of the holy staff slingshot and broke into two.

The Holy staff slingshot who just broke the sharp claws continued its trajectory and successfully hit the Red Kuntilanak right on her face, launching her high into the air.

'Now!'

Both Mira and Eve knew that it was the opportunity they have been waiting for.

Putting almost half of her energy into this blazing arrow, Mira fired it at the Red Kuntilanak.

Kaboom!!

A big explosion occurred as the Blazing arrow hit the Red Kuntilanak.. However, it was not the end of their attack.
