Weren't there a little too many tentacles?!
"Take that, you pervert!" It was a relentless onslaught.
At that moment, Jack felt like a cricket in a snake enclosure, struggling for dear life as the darkness tendrils tried to grasp at him one after the other!
"Kid, I swear, you're way too fucking stubborn! Fighting a losing fight is dumb. Tch-- You and your sentimentality! But you won't change your mind, right?" the Old Ghost spat.
"Nope!"
"Fine, then, at least fight smart. This guy's hiding a catalyst behind his back. Destroy it, and this god-forsaken prison will crumble. Be fast. I bet even you won't last long here!"
Jack agreed 2000%, his life hanging by a thread.
With every move he made, with every Arcane Dagger he summoned, his Mana would be drained a little more. The usual 30-minute Evil God Body duration? He'd be lucky to get five!
Even as he kept dodging, he whispered orders, using even more Mana to propel his voice right to his troops' ears.
"Foxes, in position. There are three enemies to deal with!"
"Squad 1 will deal with Acid-Throwing Guy! Shoot down every acid blob he throws with a well-timed fireball. Remember, you need to preserve your Mana!"
"Squad 2 will deal with thorn Guy! Every time he uses a Thorny Vine, burn it down. But the Thorn Walls are too resistant, so help your fellow foxes jump above it!"
"Squad 3 will provide support with the Darkness Tentacles. These things are seriously ridiculously OP, so we'll target the caster instead. Spam flashy spells until he loses focus!"
"Everyone understood their roles? Good, spread out and-- FUCK ME!"
At times, Jack couldn't help but curse. Those tentacles were truly perverse! It was already a miracle that he could dodge them, much less plan a counter-attack in the meantime!
The only thing going for him was that he didn't need to rely on his vision to feel their threat. At least he was never taken out by surprise, even when surrounded.
"Woo!" (M-master? Are you Alright?!)
"HURRY! Go forth, my minions!"
With an Earth-Shattering roar in their consciousness, the foxes all spread out at once. It was so sudden that others couldn't help but gasp in shock. But they quickly calmed down.
"Tch--Coming for round two? Foolish!"
The assassins didn't worry one bit. Before Jack's arrival, they had fought the foxes plenty and had a perfect grasp of the creatures' abilities.
This wouldn't be a fight, but a STOMP!
"Take this!" A shower of Acid balls flew toward the foxes. This would force them to retreat and-- or not?! Instead of trying to avoid them, a bunch of foxes reacted to it!
-- WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! --
Fireballs took flight, quickly colliding with the attacks in mid-air. The spells burst like bubbles, creating Acid Clouds in the air... the foxes rushing underneath!
"Tch-- So what?! Take this!" Another used Thorn Vines. This was the perfect CC move that would immobilize and damage its targets at the same time. This would slow them and--
Except, this time, it was different! Instead of the pack being slowed, a few completely stopped, focusing on the vines and burning them down! All the others kept going!
"T-this, they got smarter?!"
"No, they're fearless! It's that naked bastard's fault!"
"Whatever, let's use something they won't be able to block!"
That's when the assassins went all out! They cooperated together to create the strongest Acidic Thorny Wall of their career.
This thing was unlike the one the foxes had once managed to pierce. If they actually tried, they'd only end up with their bodies in melted goo. It would be GAME OVER!
"Go on, try and beat that!" The assassins watched the show with expectation.
The foxes didn't stop, not at all! They rushed with so much speed that there would be no way for them to stop in time! They were bloody sprinting to their deaths!
But right before they collided with the Deadly Wall, something crazy happened. The foxes at the forefront suddenly jumped a little, seemingly floating in the air for an instant.
Would that do anything? Nope! The Wall was tall enough to catch them, no matter how high they jumped! But that's when the foxes behind arrived!
They also jumped, landing on their brethren's backs and using them as springboards to jump even higher! They flew above the damn thing, assassins crying out, shell-shocked!
"W-WHAT?!"
"Quick, use the tentacles. Stop them!"
"I'm almost done killing that asshole. Give me a second!"
Their colleague didn't realize how dire the situation was. At this moment, he only had eyes for Jack, who even now was screaming obscenities his way.
"So many big tentacles! Are you over-compensating for something?"
"So many tentacles, yet you can't even land one? I bet your wife must be one lonely lady! Then again, with that face of yours...."
"Eh, cheer up! Your face isn't that bad, either. It's a face a mother could love if she's blind and on crack." Jack kept taunting unendingly.
But, the insults were just part of the performance. What truly made the assassin angry was the man's gaze. He kept looking straight at him, grinning, sometimes even winking.
Not being able to kill that bloody naked dude felt so freaking horrible! It didn't help that the guy wasn't especially fast or strong either... He was just more skilled!
At this moment, he felt so inferior, so worthless! But he was definitely progressing! At first, the man had seemed invincible, but he was slowly and surely getting injured.
Thus the assassin ignored everything else, locking on his nemesis! He even ignored the flashy fake spells a bunch of foxes threw to distract him.
As long as he killed their Master, they'd win! He had long thrown caution to the wind, going all out to destroy the bastard!
Seeing the man's reaction, Jack smirked even more. In a drawn-out fight, he would have lost for sure. Sadly for the assassins, it was far too late.
At this moment, two screams echoed at once.
"DIE, you bastard!"
"Checkmate..."
Just as tentacles landed on Jack to finish him off, the foxes finally reached the assassins. With a burst of fire, they used all the Mana they still had on the man's artifact! SHATTER!
The Tentacles all disappeared, revealing a half-dead Jack.
He was bleeding out of every orifice, utterly out of breath. Had the foxes been a second slower, he would have been a goner, the little ones sighing in relief!
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) But just as it seemed like they had won...
Even with the artifact gone, the assassin hadn't given up! He flicked his hand, a dagger flying toward the helpless Jack. -- THROW! --
The latter didn't have the energy to doge, nor did he have Mana left. He could only stand there as the knife reached his throat and-- Poof!
Without Mana, his Evil God Body turned off, the killing instrument flying WAY above his head. This REALLY was a bad day for the assassins...
