Chapter 12 (2/2)
Naturally such a thought occurred to me as well , killing the Cyclops while still bound.But this was merely naive thinking.How could it be truly possible that this trial really had such an easy solution not to mention the 3 hour time limit.Why would there even be a time limit if we could just kill him while restrained. "Forget about 3 hours ,let's finish this while he's bound who know we might even get bonus rewards for killing him so fast " One of the idiots with a big nose started yelling adding more fuel to the fire , everyone's charging speed nearly doubling. While it's good to be so optimist have any of them even considered the worst case scenario?! What if the instant he's attacked the chains break . Are you all really that stupid ?!Are you trying to kill me you bastards?! Ahh good thing at least Elizabeth's head isn't just a decoration. She too didn't join the horde of lunatics , instead was watching attentively in front waiting for any sudden changes.Alicia too due to her small frame decided to sit back and watch what was happening. Having reached within 50 meters the archers stopped in their tracks , drawing their bows and preparing to fire. "STOP IT YOU IDIOTS" I shout as hard as my lungs could muster ,I reckon it could even rival the old man's roar. Alas it was too late ,while 7 of them listened to my warning 3 more including the long haired idiot who endangered my life previously already let go of the arrow. Watching the arrows fly in the air I'm left hopeless. Please don't break Please don't break Please don't break , Chain-sama is strong you won't break from something like this right? Right? The arrows streaked through the air like a pair of triplets drawing a sharp curve aiming at his head, chest and thigh. Moments before the impact happened a translucent blue barrier erupted in front of the cyclops instantly deflecting the arrows. The old man's voice could be heard from above "Ahem , I've forgotten to tell you , while he's still chained a magical barrier will appear whenever an attack is launched against him deflecting both physical as well as magical damage.Also every time the shield is conjured it uses up a part of the energy left in the chains, you now have less than 13 minutes I hope you can use your remaining time more wisely " Devil. This crafty old devil clearly knew that as soon as he left everyone was going to charge at the giant yet he conveniently 'forgot' to inform us of the magic shield. I can imagine the old man smirking through that disgustingly long beard of his , laughing at the foolishness of inferior beings to him.Oh how funny we must appear to him. It must be no different than being in a zoo for him , staring at the stupid animals making a mess of themselves. Instantly despair took over scene , the gaze filled with hope when looking toward the Cyclops reverted back to terror and fright.The smiles all transformed in grim expressions.All the laughter died down together with it .The place became akin to a graveyard and if nothing would soon be done the instant those chains break it will truly be one. Some even raged against and shouted aloud "God damn it ! Can't we catch a break? Why do we have to fight that monster ?! Why do we have to take this trial? *sob* I just want to go home." Just like a damn that exploded as soon as his voice died down countless sobs could be heard , cries for help some even began crying for their parents . Pathetic. One of the less shaken people tried rallying everyone up "Don't despair yet people , we still have a chance , if we all attack him the moment he breaks free maybe we can defeat him , after all we have magical items as well as a powerful mage!" Foolish , you really believe your shitty longswords and weapons can cause actual damage to that guy? His skin must be more solid than concrete and his muscles could be compared to steel , no that's wrong, STEEL could be compared to his muscles. While i can see how Ponytail could do some damage with her magic looking at the size of the thing it can't be nearly enough.With no tactics and no plans simply fighting him is suicide. Ugh, while it's good that he somewhat revived the atmosphere what he's suggesting is the same as encouraging 50 people to jump from a 100 meter cliff with him. Alright it's finally time to act , i've let this circus run long enough. "To those of you who wish to die feel free to listen to that guy , however if any of you still wish to live then come and listen to my plan"
