Chapter 1766 Chapter 1766. The Audacity of a Weak Being

?"Hmph!" Azzarilth harrumphed. A large dark sphere encompassed a large area around her. Eoranth, Broidrireg, and Jack were inside the scope of this sphere.
This sphere was Azzarilth's Infernal Chaos Domain. Before, Jack was outside looking at this sphere. Now, he was inside. He felt the pressure around him multiplied. His stats were reduced. He felt extreme discomfort as if a million bugs were gnawing at his skin. Damage numbers started appearing above him.
Broidrireg grunted and a layer of soothing winds blew around him. This wind covered Jack who was riding Broidrireg. The discomfort he felt greatly diminished and the damage numbers stopped appearing.
Eoranth's scales glowed from his Soul Wrath skill. Azzarilth's infernal chaos domain was unable to affect him under this condition. He lunged at Azzarilth. After a short engagement, he disengaged before attacking again. He was back to his previous pattern. Broidrireg supported him with spells. Azzarilth's spectral projection had ended, so nothing disturbed Broidrireg from casting spells.
Azzarilth was still formidable despite their cooperation. They couldn't deal high damage to her. They ended up receiving higher damage from her counterattacks, but it wasn't as frustrating as before. This was all thanks to Peniel. They could chip down Azzarilth's HP slowly without worrying about losing more HP. All the damage they received could be healed by Peniel later.
"So, mighty one. What's the plan? We just wear her down like this?" Jack asked. He also contributed by casting ranged spells when he saw an opportunity. He didn't dare engage Azzarilth using his usual melee approach. He stayed on Broidrireg's neck and relied on the dragon's protection.
"Just…? You do know we are doing our best, don't you?" Broidrireg replied. "We are buying time. Tiemezzys was on his way here. He probably still needs a couple of hours to arrive. Afterward, we will go all out."
"Hopefully, we can grind her HP down before you run out of time here…," Jack said. It was already more than half a day since Broidrireg was summoned. He had less than half his time remaining. Considering they only managed to reduce Azzarilth's HP to seventy percent in that period, the prospect of them depleting her remaining HP wasn't that high.
"If you want to be pessimistic, might as well stay down there," Broidrireg told Jack.
"Who is being pessimistic? Of course, we will beat that mad b*tch!" Jack exclaimed while casting Lightning Pursuit.
Azzarilth was clashing with Eoranth, so she couldn't dodge Jack's spell. The lightning struck Azzarilth's body but didn't deal much damage. The small damage was not only due to Azzarilth's high resistance but also because Jack had lost the Lightning God Blessing which boosted his lightning damage. Jack was feeling down again remembering that.
Jack's offensive spells might be ineffective in this fight, but his support spells were not. With Time Realm, Azzarilth was slowed while Broidrireg and Eoranth's speed increased. This balanced the debuffs inflicted by Azzarilth's Infernal Chaos Domain.
When Azzarilth was casting fast spells with six runes or below, Jack cast Cancel Magic. His intelligence stat lost to Azzarilth, but his runestone of spellcasting helped boost the spell's success rate.
Jack also used magic bind added with Telekinesis. They were unable to stop Azzarilth but they slowed her down a little. This was enough to give Eoranth a window to land a hit.
Jack's other spells helped deflect or reduce Azzarilth's ranged attacks on Broidrireg. He also used his cloak's Elemental God Barrier. The cloak didn't have the option for chaos element, but it was still good enough to block half a million worth of damage number. This allowed Broidrireg more opportunities in casting spells.
Azzarilth was still terrifying, but she wasn't as laidback as before. Her always grinning expression was now replaced with a scowl. She was fighting Eoranth but her eyes were on Jack, the weakling who ruined her fun. Remembering Broidrireg's warning, Jack didn't dare to stare back.
Azzarilth suddenly made an ear-splitting roar. The roar was a skill. It destabilized everyone in the vicinity. Jack felt his head ringing. Even after using mana manipulation to protect his mind, he still felt his vision spinning. Even Eoranth paused momentarily from the roar.
Azzarilth used Deca Slash when Eoranth paused. The ten rapid slashes landed on Eoranth's tough scales. Those scales cracked and several long gashes resulted from the slashes. Azzarilth ended the combo with a power strike that sent Eoranth flying away.
Broidrireg was the one most unaffected by Azzarilth's roar. His spells were cast without interruption. One of his spells conjured a cloud of eroding vapor that blanketed Azzarilth. Another one threw out hundreds of wind saws that swarmed her body.
"Beside you!" Jack called.
"I know," Broidrireg responded.
The one assailed by Broidrireg's two spells was a mere copy. Azzarilth used Chaos Substitution, leaving a replacement copy while her real body teleported near Broidrireg. She was casting a spell.
Her spell conjured a huge lance. This was the Chaos Lance which had wounded Quetzalcoatl in the earlier fight. This Chaos Lance was thrown in Broidrireg's direction.
When Azzarilth was tussling with Eoranth, Broidrireg cast several defensive spells in case Azzarilth targeted him. A huge water bubble and living air shields were floating around his body. This living air shield immediately moved in the Chaos Lance's trajectory once they sensed its menace.
Both the water bubble and the living water shields were pierced as if hot knife through butter, but they slowed the lance's speed by a little. This allowed Broidrireg to move to the side out of Harm's way.
"Look out!" Jack shouted while firing Mana Beam.
Azzarilth had rushed over with a speeding skill when Broidrireg dodged her Chaos Lance. She arrived beside Broidrireg in a blink. Jack's mana beam didn't slow her in the slightest. She ignored the pitiful damage from the spell. Her mighty claw swung with blinding speed, tearing the air and leaving void marks. This claw slammed into Broidrireg's face.
"Arrgghh…!!" Broidrireg's roared as his head bounced from the impact.
Before anyone could react, Azzarilth's swift claw went to the back of Broidrireg's neck. Jack, who was clinging there, was snatched by that claw.
Azzarilth was now staring at Jack in her hand. "I will make you suffer for your audacity in interfering with this fight."
