Chapter 499 Third party (8)
The group hesitated in following that plan. Sarah was pregnant, and the last thing that she needed was to be electrocuted. Her condition still was fine, but the baby in her belly still was in a critical part of its development. Without a doubt, a lightning bolt fired by the titan will cross her entire body, so she didn\'t even try to say that she wanted to go no matter what. She wasn\'t that careless, and she was finally waiting for her first kid, so she wouldn\'t do anything to put the baby in danger.
That being said, the plan wasn\'t half bad. Billy had been training his shock Resistance, so he probably could take a direct hit, but not two… Definitely. In any case, he just had to go alone and damage the enemy with an attack powerful enough to make the creature lose control of its power. It would be better that way since he could heal himself almost instantly with his magic and he kind was used to being beaten up, not that was a good thing. Besides, it was probably the best shot that they had. Alone, Billy wouldn\'t have to worry about covering for anyone else, and his friends didn\'t think that he would make any careless mistakes. They had that much trust on him.
"Who is in command here?" Billy asked. "Maybe we should follow that idea, but we will need the cooperation of everyone nearby."
"Let me guess, you want to go alone, and then once you get us an opening, we will approach and help," Kate said.
"You know that amulet that Felipe gave me? I can use that to protect myself from direct hits," Billy said. "Even if the monster\'s power is massive, that amulet will protect me for a few hits. I will use that chance to attack and knock down the monster. Its body might emit electric discharges, but that is probably a spell that needs to be activated. We just need to find a way to prevent that."
"Hmm… You used lightning alongside your weapon to paralyze the ice titan, right?" Alexander asked. "But that didn\'t work that well, and the monster still was able to use magic. Lightning is useless against this titan, so what are you planning to use?"
"Blunt trauma… My goal is to hit the monster\'s head with a massive hammer and then make its core shake. That should stop the magic," Billy replied. "With some luck, I will crack the head and then eventually smash the core."
"I thought you weren\'t the type who would want to rely on things like luck and possibilities," Svan said. "Still, I suppose that is the best Shot that we have. Putting that aside, I had never heard of such a magic item… I didn\'t think that Felipe was stingy, but he sure favored you with something that he never showed before. Nevertheless, I approve of the plan."
"Wait, what?" Billy asked.
"When the wind titan crossed this state\'s border one year ago, the family that ruled things here packed their things, got all the money they could, and then disappeared," Ilfa explained. "As such, this state has been in total disarray for the past year. Half of the population left, and the other half didn\'t know what to do, so they negotiated with us to become a part of our state. Somehow, everyone knew that the titan would return pretty soon. So, Dad is the one in command here."
"I have a hard time understanding if your people think that you are reliable or if they just like to throw problems on your hands," Billy said.
"Sometimes, I also question that myself," Svan said and then shrugged. "However, you can\'t find a barbarian more reliable and respected than me."
"You certainly aren\'t the humblest," Billy said. "Regardless, we need to make everyone fight those monsters and kill them faster for this plan to work. Otherwise, they will get in the way and prevent all of us from attacking at the same time."
"I thought you were planning to kill the titan with a hammer," Alexander said.
"I am just covering my bases in case something goes wrong," Billy shrugged. "If we cut off the monsters\' pieces with each strike, it will take a while to regenerate, and it will be defenseless. If possible, it would be better if you guys could work together to chop the legs of the titan as well. Alexander and Natalie will use physical attacks and aim at one of those, while Kate, Sarah, and Lily will attack the other from a distance."
"I suppose we can do that," Kate said.
"We will need a clear plan of action, though," Sarah added. "Trying to improvise when we only have one chance is too risky."
"While you guys take a break and do that, I will hunt some of those things," Billy said.
Even before Billy could get close enough, he began to smash the jins. He made two Earth walls appear around them, and then he smashed them between those. More than half of their bodies were made of wind, so that method was quite good at killing the monsters.
You obtained 300 experience points.
The skill Earth Manipulation obtained 150 experience points.
…
Those who were fighting around frowned when they saw that. They had gotten used to seeing magic in the last few days, thanks to Billy\'s friends, but they didn\'t see such an efficient method of killing against those beasts. Besides, it also looked like a method that would work on humans, and there wasn\'t much anyone could do against that.
With Billy\'s help, the extermination of the monsters increased quite a bit, but everyone knew that it was a double-edged sword since the death of the Jins was strengthening the tornado. Regardless, it was something that they had to do. Eventually, his friends rested and returned to the battlefield, and then they helped Svan spread the news about what they were about to do.
