Psychic Parasite

Chapter 440: Joint Raid

"This is how we graduate." Dalna Doppler said as she pushed the door open, sending in the Battleship first. The Tier 3 Spindle Bee had been waiting for them all along, having poised its stinger towards the entrance to bombard them into a sieve.

That was why, she sent in the Battleship first, leaping behind as she passed through the entrance. She used the Battleship as a shield to defend against the spindles shot forth by the Spindle Bee. After they had discussed their plans, Jyorta filled up its insides with numerous rows and columns of silk acting as rods that propped it up, raising its defensive structure as a whole.

After that, they poured in some sand to act as a weight, negating most of its lift. It was still able to hover on its own. This way, it made it easy to drag it around. The spindles shot forth by the Tier 3 Spindle Bee were only lodged partway into it before losing all momentum.

Thanks to the weight of the sand in it, the Battleship was sturdy and used its inertia to resist most of the momentum behind the Spindle Bee's attacks. Half of the group trailed right behind Dalna Doppler, using the Battleship as a shield.

"Let's go!" Followed by a shout, George pushed in the massive Web World Haesha had brought. The other half of the group used it as a shield to enter inside. Moreover, they had also attached the two Tier 2 Lava Turtle shells he had brought on them, raising their defensive strength while increasing the area it shielded.

This created a wide barrier they could hide behind to tank the attacks shot forth by the Spindle Bee. The two Amplifiers carrying a cylinder each quickly took positions as they shot forth in the air, aiming them towards the Spindle Bee as they shot forth two spindles.

The appearance of the spindles shocked it for a moment as the Spindle Bee was unable to react. Though, as the spindles closed in on it, its instincts kicked forth as it swerved aside, watching the two spindles fly past it.

Having known that it wouldn't be that easy to land a hit on an agile opponent like the Spindle Bee, the two Amplifiers changed positions in the air, targeting the Spindle Bee with their attacks. Every second, they shot forth one spindle.

In the meantime, Dalna Doppler took in a deep breath as she muttered under her breath, "Move."

The Tier 2 Floating Spider lodged in the back of her dress, housed within a dome moved up, increasing the strength it exerted as Dalna Doppler could feel her weight being reduced. She was still on the ground, but the amount of force she needed to jump had decreased by a lot now.

She looked at the Amplifiers behind her, handing them the rope that was used to pull the Battleship, "Alright, take to the air now."

They nodded and took flight immediately, carrying the Battleship with them as a cover to close in on the Spindle Bee.

Dalna Doppler took in a deep breath as she crouched a little, shooting her eyes open as her aura spiked, startling everyone in the dome.

Tier 2 SkillLeap Burst!

She disappeared from her position as Dalna Doppler covered five metres with every step, approaching the curved dome walls as she scaled up through them, clutching the spear in her hands as she leaped once again, making a beeline towards the Spindle Bee.

The Spindle Bee was startled and quickly moved to the other side of the dome, unwilling to face Dalna Doppler head-on. From its distance, it shot forth a couple of spindles towards her, aiming based on the arc she made in the air.

Dalna Doppler thrust forth using the back of her spear at the Battleship nearby, using the force to swerve her body in the air, watching the spindles barely miss her. She then spun once before landing on the ground, shooting forth on the ground immediately, heading straight towards the Spindle Bee.

The imposing momentum she carried thanks to the blazing aura she emitted caused the Spindle Bee unable to look away, having most of its direction on her. The two Amplifiers flashed around it and shot spindles at it.

Three Amplifiers, carrying three Area Controllers stealthily moved in the air. The Area Controllers had used their psychic arms to create a sphere around themselves, turning invisible by making use of the chance when most of the Spindle Bee's attention was on Dalna Doppler.

Seated on Ashten's back, Jyorta had completely turned them invisible. Ashten took off to the air as the two of them slowly flew towards the Spindle Bee. The other two Area Controllers were using their stealth to shoot spindles at the Spindle Bee.

The dome was a hemisphere with a radius of 30 metres. It was considerably huge for their numbers, so there was a lot of room to dart about. This was why they were careful all along.

The Spindle Bee was getting cornered by the attacks, though it hadn't been injured even once. But then, it seemed to have reached its limit as it unleashed the brunt of its aura that continued to climb without limit. It had activated its Tier 3 Skill.

But, just in this time, the bubble containing Ashten and Jyorta arrived right behind it, having exercised stealth all along. Unlike the other Area Controllers, Jyorta had almost been at Tier 2 for a year now. So, he was significantly developed as compared to them, including his ability to wield his powers.

And, having used the blue soul to practice all contraptions tens of thousands of times, the level of stealth he had displayed was of a high level. Only if they moved too fast would the Spindle Bee able to detect their presence.

Since they had been careful all along, floating forth like a bubble, and under all the chaos and action brought about by others, and at how Dalna Doppler had garnered most of its attention thanks to the threat she posed, they were able to creep up to its back without its notice.

'Here it goes!' Jyorta faced his hand towards its back, situated only three metres away, aiming right at its head as he unleashed his aura beam by expending all his aura. But this time, the aura beam acted as a carrier.

Aura InductionTattoo!

Jyorta used the last tattoo he had prepared, slamming it straight into the Spindle Bee's presence. His weaker psychic arm turned pale blue as it healed him, recovering his presence as Jyorta layered another attack over it.

Aura PersonificationHallucination!

And this time, the hallucination made use of the aura unleashed in his aura beam as a fuel to attack, using the tattoo as a medium to directly penetrate the Spindle Bee's defences. Its aura retaliated against his and was evenly matched.

"Now!" Ashten shouted as all the students unleashed the brunt of their aura, slamming them all onto the Spindle Bee, forcing it to use its aura to defend against theirs.

At this time, Ashten smirked, facing his palm at its abdomen, "See you later."

Aura Beam!

The sudden change in the method of attacks where everyone switched to aura path rendered it defenceless. All it could do was resist using its inherent aura, trying its best to push away its foes. But, just Jyorta's aura alone matched it in intensity, not to mention the others.

Dalna Doppler's aura was already at the peak of Tier 2, same for George. The remainder were the best of their Batch, so their aura levels were staggeringly high too. It was not to mention Ashten Coorg, whose Tier 2 Skill amplified his aura; his aura beam was the final attack that shattered its defences, allowing Jyorta's tattoo to take root and grow within.

By destroying most of its presence, it allowed Jyorta more than enough time to complete the process, laughing at the end, "It's done."

He then estimated the time his tattoo could last before it would be eaten up completely by the Spindle Bee's aura, chuckling, "We got ourselves an hour."

"Yeah!" Dalna Doppler raised her hand as she shouted, watching the Tier 3 Spindle Bee turn docile immediately. Ashten landed on the ground as he sighed in relief, wiping off his sweat. He had used half his presence in that aura beam, so his defences were weak now.

Warriors didn't have any techniques to shield themselves like the Espers. So, they primarily relied on their aura to defend themselves. That was why their aura reserves were pretty important. They had also used the same concept against the Tier 3 Spindle Bee.

If the Spindle Bee had been a Wave Controller, they would have had to struggle a lot more before defeating it. After all, psychic arms were able to filter out aura too.

Thankfully, they managed to take action before it activated its Tier 3 Skill. Otherwise, it would have ended up as a pyrrhic victory.

"Let's not delay and take advantage of the time we have now," Jyorta said as he noticed the floor of the dome shine before forming 15 circles.

Each circle had a star-shaped pattern on it with minor variations. Upon seeing it, Jyorta spoke, "Let's leave this to the rest of our teammates to find. We'll take down another Tier 3 Frenzy Beast in the meantime."

"That would be for the best," Dalna Doppler nodded as she glanced at the star patterns on the floor, noticing how they all were almost similar. It would take them considerable time before they matched the patterns on the floor to their Quest objective.

Besides, seeing as how they just flashed into existence now, Dalna Doppler could guess not everyone would have their Quest Objective in this place. There was even a chance none of theirs would be present, and would probably all appear in the last Frenzy Beast's dome. Judging by the nature of the military academy, they would have probably done that.

She glanced at Jyorta and others, noticing from their expressions that they too had thought the same. Followed by a collective sigh, they walked towards the next dome.
