26 Chapter 19
Elizabeth POV:
[OPEN FIRE!!] (Rudolf)
After the Rudolf Command, all The archers hiding in the branches among the trees started shooting Arrows on to the demonic Eye.
Tonight there was a full moon so the arrows would glint off the moonlight every now and then and it would look like tiny stars attacking the Gigantic Being. All the arrows Successfully hit the Eye but it didn't even budge.
Soon the Gigantic eye started to act like a mother and Small Demon Eyes started coming from its behind and another volley of arrows was shot from the archers. The tiny demon eyes dodged all the arrows and quickly came here to attack the archers. Luckily my Archers aren't fragile and have been taught Close Quarters Combat in case of emergencies like these.
What was unbelievable was the fact that some of the archers were still hit by the Tiny eyes and fell down their branches.
[W-What!?] (Me)
I quickly used my Branch Magic and caught every single archer that fell down with thin plant roots and carefully placed them down.
I became unsteady and held on to the balcony railing.
The Fight with the Silver Daemon made me lose almost all my mana and It will take at least 20 hours to regenerate completely.
I unsteadily went away from the balcony and made my way to the open ground below. While I was going down the stairs I heard the gigantic eye scream again. [AWWWWOOOOOOOHHH] and it broke halfway through the wall right beside me and got stuck.
I forgot to breathe while looking at it and it gave me the creeps as it looked back at me.
It felt like it was staring into my soul.
It screamed again and charged straight at me I wasn't fast enough to block the head-on collision.
[GAH] I screamed in pain as some of my blood left my mouth.
The wall behind me broke as I fell through it. I fell from one story height and fell straight on the ground.
I laid there as the Gigantic eye was right above me. Staring into my eyes and it was terrifying.
[HEY BEAST!! OVER HERE!!!] (Rudolf)
Rudolf used his vine attack on the eye, that attack couldn't even be compared to mine.
It hit the eye with a loud snapping noise and the eye changed its target from me to Rudolf. It Screamed again and charged at Rudolf.
I unsteadily stood up and went towards the nearest Fallen Archer.
[Are You Okay?] (Me)
He coughed a bit and let out some blood. [I-I'm sorry about this. Y-Your Highness.]
[Don't be. What happened up there?] (Me)
[These Demon Eyes are not Ordinary ones. They're really Fast. Even if we blocked them, some other would attack from behind.] (Fallen Archer)
[Okay you did well. Now Get up and get yourself Patched up then help everyone else who has fallen.] (Me)
[Y-Yes Your Highness!] (Fallen Archer)
Just then I saw Tifa and Sarah coming here. There was also a little girl Silver Daemon following them.
[Your Highness! You're Hurt!] (Sarah)
[Don't mind me, you failed your mission didn't you? now we have to fight this mess.] (Me)
[No we didn't Fail. We gained intel that the summoning was supposed to happen tomorrow at the festival by using this.....eye thing.] Sarah said that and Tifa brought a Weird looking eye the size of a hand.
[We also arrested everyone in suspicion of siding with the Cultist.] (Sarah)
[Then how did That thing came here?...maybe it's looking for the eye Tifa has?] (Me)
[There is a possibility.] (Tifa)
I nodded [Okay, Sarah get that eye and try to get the Gigantic eye's attention. After that try to give that thing to the gigantic eye.] (Me)
[Yes Maam!] Sarah saluted and went up a tree.
[Tifa I need you to get everyone injured to a safe place and patch them up.] (Me)
[Yes!] Tifa said and headed towards the fallen soldiers.
I wiped the blood trickling down from my mouth.
[HEY BEAST LOOK OVER HERE!!] I could hear Sarah from all the way here. I just hope this fixes everything.
The gigantic eye didn't look over to Sarah and kept its attack towards Rudolf who skillfully dodged them with the best of his ability. And the Tiny eyes were started to be brought down by the archers.
Rudolf noticed Sarah and headed over there. Sarah also started to shoot arrows at the eye.
The Eye Finally noticed Sarah and Screamed loudly before charging towards her.
Sarah panicked and threw the eye thing straight towards it before jumping off the tree which was blown to smithereens by the giant eye's charge.
Sarah landed safely but the weird looking eye was hit by the Gigantic eye and squished after hitting a tree.
[Oops] (Sarah)
I Stared at Sarah with cold eyes.
[What? I Panicked.] (Sarah)
I held on to my temples in pain but just then.
[AWWOOOOOOOOOOHHH]
We heard another Scream from the sky.
[Oh....My....God] (Sarah)
I was also left speechless.
......another gigantic eye descended.
Evan POV :
I placed down another Campfire. They're handy for their increased health regeneration.
Whew. Finally finished building this arena.
I looked into the distance and I could see the elves fighting the Eye of Cthulhu in the distance.
My arena was also made with a long Wooden platform that went below and above trees also here and there too with ropes hanging on branches too. I also placed tons of torches on the trees so it's really bright.
[Now to lead that Boss over here.] (Me)
Just then
The Eye of Cthulhu has Awoken
[OH COME ON!] (Me)
What the hell are those Cultists doing!? Wasn't one Enough!?
Well no time to think about that, Time for some Action!
I quickly gulped down all my buffs potions.
Life 160/160
Iron Skin: Increased Defense by 8 points
Swiftness: Increased Movement speed by 20%.
Regeneration: Increased Life Regeneration speed.
Camp Fire: Increased Life Regeneration speed.
I used my grappling hook on the trees and let the momentum take me forward. It looked like I was flying straight forward and it felt good. The wind whistling past me and the nice cool breeze of the night.
I got close to the 2 eyes and I could see the kingdom in a really bad state, some trees fallen, some tree house with holes in them. I could also see the Elf queen and Sarah on the ground dumbfounded by these two giant eyeballs.
hmmmm....even staring at them doesn't make me feel any kind of fear. Is it because of the skills?
Its because of the skills isn't it!
I tried to intimidate the eyes [YO! YOU TWO BETTER "WATCH" OUT FOR THIS.]
Dam I don't know many eye Puns. Better "LOOK" for them later.
{Author's Note: That Wasn't even remotely funny.}
I took out my Silver Bow and shot some Fire Arrows to the both of them. The arrows looked like some fireworks on its way before blowing up in this dead of night.
The arrows successfully hit the Eyes and they were ignited on fire. They looked like Giant Fireballs now.
I got Both their attention now. By the Way one of the eyes had around 60 percent health remaining. Which makes sense as it was hit by hundreds of arrows by the elves.
The tactic to beat them is simple. they spawn some servants of Cthulhu which are just tiny Demon eyes whose sole purpose is to annoy you. Then after that, they would charge 3 times. let's hope they do that here too. That's Phase 1 of these guys which I have to beat.
They both charged at me but I grappled to a tree and headed towards the arena I built. Fighting them there would be 10 times easier with the more open area.
I reached there way before them. the wooden platform isn't very wide but just enough for one person to stand, walk or run on them. Plus I made the platforms go around the trees and also above them. So I can move around a lot.
I dual equipped my shotguns.
I looked back and saw Groups of those tiny eyes coming at me.
The only good thing about these eyes is that they have very low health.
and they would drop Hearts sometimes that can heal me.
I shot a few times and it took care of the whole group. The Widespread is amazing in clearing these out.
The eye's finally reached here and I started to shoot them. I focused on the one that had nearly died.
If his health reaches below 50 Percent then I'll have to fight his Phase 2, which is basically he losses his ability to spawn more tiny demon eyes but the charge will be longer and stronger.
My Tactic here is simple.
1) Fend off the little eyes.
2) Get some good hits during their charging phase while dodging them by using the grapple.
3) Repeat.
This is enough to kill them both.
The only problem would be their last Phase where they go at the speed of light. But I'm also fast enough with the grappling hook.
I kept trying to kill them with this tactic. It was slower but also the safest and it won't turn daytime anytime soon so I should keep my patience.
They got few hits on me but since I was a living tank right now so the damage I received was only in single digits.
One of the eyes finally went to its 2nd phase. Its started rotating on its own axis at very high speed while spewing out tons of those tiny eye's. The Eye of Cthulhu also lost its Front part of the eye's skin and it just looked like a giant floating mouth with large bones sticking out that looked like sharp teeth's.
.......
.....
.....
Now they're both in their second phase. One has 20 percent hp left and the other has 40 Percent.
My arena is also completely Destroyed by the Eye of Cthulhu's Charges.
I received some hits every now and then but its nothing noteworthy.
If I'm correct then they will go to their 3rd phase when they have 10 Percent Health left.
Now how should I take care of that phase? Its the most troublesome one if they survive at around 3 Percent or lower Health then they receive a permanent 100 Percent increase in speed. That is the thing I want to avoid the most.
Wait. The queen and her archers had been stationed in the nearby trees watching this battle between us. I can use their help, a volley of around 50 arrows is bound to take away more than ten percent of their health....right?
I guess the reason they didn't shoot yet is that they're afraid of hitting me. Or the fact that I'm also handling them quite well.
[HEY QUEEN! A LITTLE HELP! ON MY SIGNAL LET EVERY ARCHER SHOOT THAT WEAKENED EYE!] (Me)
I couldn't see the Queen's expression since I was busy fending these guys off. I focused all my offense on the Eye with lower health.
As its health reached around 15 Percent I looked towards the archers and they were (thankfully) Ready and in position with arrows nocked to their bows.
I grappled away from the eyes and screamed with all my strength. [NOOWW!!!!]
A giant Volley of what appeared like hundreds of arrows flew from above me to the Eye with lower health. I also shot some Fire arrows just in case.
Almost all the arrows hit it, but unfortunately, it survived with 3 Percent health.
[FUUUU-] I was about to swear but the other eye charged at me. I quickly grappled to some other tree and the tree I was standing on before was completely Obliterated. The Eye with lower health Started charging towards me with insane speed. My Reactions aren't fast enough to Dodge That!
[SHIT!] (Me)
