Villain Ch 789. They Just Want to Play!
"I knew it was a bad sign!" Bored Hunter’s voice crackled with frustration, his teeth clenched tightly together in irritation.
"Then why didn’t you tell us?" Red_King shot back, his gaze piercing as he turned to face Bored Hunter.
"I just realized it after Godlike’s warning," Bored Hunter retorted, his tone defensive as he tried to justify his oversight.
The response elicited an exasperated chorus of eye rolls from the rest of the group, their collective annoyance palpable.
"My children..." Gheppetto’s voice cracked with sorrow and fury, his eyes burning with an intense mixture of grief and rage. "Why did you kill my children?!" he cried out in anguish, his words echoing through the eerie silence of the cemetery.
"Cause your kids want to kill us," Arcana retorted, his voice laced with irritation as he addressed Gheppetto’s accusations head-on.
"They just want to play!" Gheppetto snapped back, his frustration evident as he struggled to comprehend the group’s actions.
"Play? Oh yeah, definitely," Azura chimed in, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she echoed Gheppetto’s words with biting mockery.
"Yeah, play with our lives," Allen added, his voice carrying a hint of disdain.@@@@
Azura’s eyes flickered with steely resolve as she locked her gaze onto Gheppetto, her mind calculating their next move with a sense of urgency. "We only need to defeat one monster," she declared, her voice carrying a note of determination.
With a decisive motion, Arcana stepped forward, his shield raised in a defensive stance as he braced himself against the impending onslaught.
"Get ready, everyone!" Arcana’s voice rang out, cutting through the tension like a clarion call to arms.
Arcana lunged forward, his muscles tensed and his shield poised for impact, he was met with a flurry of movement from the surrounding puppets. Their movements were swift and coordinated, blocking his path with their outstretched claws, effectively preventing him from reaching their twisted creator.
Seeing the imminent threat, Red_King wasted no time in springing into action. With a swift motion, he activated his skill. "Cyclone Strike!" he chanted. His sword became a blur as it moved with a rapid rotating motion, striking out at the encroaching puppets with unparalleled speed and precision. The whirlwind of slashes threw the puppets aside, creating a temporary reprieve for the group.
Yet it wasn’t enough. New puppets quickly rose from their graves and went toward them, closing their distance.
Realizing that they needed to create a path for Arcana to reach Gheppetto, Allen turned to Azura with a sense of urgency in his eyes. "We have to create a path for them!" he exclaimed, his voice cutting through the chaos of battle.
Azura nodded in understanding, her mind already racing with a plan of action. Without hesitation, they moved as one, planting their blades into the ground on the sides of the group. With a focused determination, they called upon their skills.
"Blade Dance!" they muttered in unison, their voices a low chant amidst the clamor of battle. As they invoked their abilities, the ground beneath them trembled, sending shockwaves rippling through the air.
The blades, emerging from the ground with deadly grace, slicing through the ranks of puppets with deadly precision, streamed toward Gheppetto like an unstoppable force. Though they passed on either side of him, their presence acted as formidable walls, preventing the encroaching puppets from closing in and cutting off any chance of escape for the malevolent puppeteer.
Gheppetto, trapped within the confines of the swirling blades, found himself cornered and unable to evade the relentless assault.
