Chapter 260
RMSBS - Episode 260 . Divide and Conquer (10)
*Crash*
Along with an ear-piercing noise, a fierce wind stormed through the middle of the garden . It was Romantica’s snipe that blazed through the air without any noise .
“Oh come on . At least give me some time to talk, will ya?”
Despite the shot being fired directly at Pierrot Mask, he seemed completely unphased and unharmed .
He had already set up wires around him, and with a precise tug they moved to block the attack .
“Don’t be so hasty now . No matter what you do, you can’t get out of here anyway . ”
Pierrot Mask stretched his arm out to the front, and wires moved toward Desir like a snake attacking its prey .
*Clang*
*Clang*
Runel, a silver sphere that floated around Desir, deflected Pierrot Mask’s wires .
Sparks flew everywhere . It was a series of attacks and counters that happened so fast that the people present could barely make out the exchange .
Pierrot Mask freely controlled delicate wires with aura .
It was not just one or two wires, but dozens of them perfectly controlled as if they were part of his body .
Desir felt as if he were fighting an entire unit alone .
They needed to get into the palace; he couldn’t afford to stay on the defense forever .
Runel was able to block all the attacks unleashed by the dozens of wires, but only barely . It wouldn’t surprise Desir if his defenses were broken at any point .
While he let Runel handle the defense, Desir completed his spell .
A plethora of fireballs rose from behind him . Though their form was simple, their power had been significantly increased through Desir’s alteration .
[Burst Fire]
*Hiss*
The fireballs all converged, forming a singular, supermassive fireball .
Pierrot Mask, who was swinging his wires relentlessly, backed off and halted his offense after feeling the fierce heat gathering behind Desir . He recalled his wires and began preparing to block the oncoming attack .
At this moment .
‘And compress here… … !’
*Whoosh*
Desir changed the spell in the final moment of invocation, compressing it .
The fireball rapidly collapsed in on itself, turning into an extremely dense mass no larger than an arrowhead .
The spell wasn’t finished though . The dense ball cracked, and an uncountable number of flame arrows shot out, each at their own speed and unpredictable trajectory .
“Huh… … ”
Looking at the scene, Pierrot Mask smiled as if amused by the sight .
At the snap of a finger, the wires that were condensed spread out and moved according to the movement of his fingertips .
With outstanding dynamic vision, he analyzed the trajectories of all of the fire arrows that had spread out .
But this was not the limit of Desir’s spell .
*Hiss*
The trajectories of the fire arrows once again changed .
The arrows were able to nimbly weave past Pierrot Mask’s wires . With their obstruction cleared, they darted towards their true target .
The ability to control the paths and speeds of dozens of spells was closer to a divine skill than talent .
Pierrot Mask’s face twisted .
*Boom*
Each one of the flame arrows burst on impact, creating a chain of explosions .
Runel quickly moved to deflect all of the debris from the resulting explosion that flew towards Desir .
“Yeah, this is it . ”
Pierrot Mask murmured as if delighted .
“Compared to sitting around in boredom, a battle with my life on the line is much more exciting . ”
As the cloud of dust rose, Pierrot Mask could be seen in the air standing on top of the wires, looking down at Desir .
“How about we keep playing around while we wait to see what Skull Mask is planning?”
Without replying, Desir sunk deep in thought .
‘This is a problem . ’
The communication pad was still warning Desir of the incoming Shadow World .
Usually, Shadow Worlds weren’t something that appeared immediately after being detected .
But considering the unusualness of the current situation, that train of thought was naive at best .
‘There’s no time to spare, but… … !’
He could not easily break through . Pierrot Mask’s power was a force to be reckoned with .
Beyond that, Desir did not have much information about him .
They had met a few times before, but never engaged in a real battle .
Not knowing what tricks Pierrot Mask had remaining up his sleeves, making one wrong move could drastically exacerbate the situation .

‘And then there’s… … ’
At some point, the chimeras once again started to charge at Desir and Adjest .
Perhaps they recognized the two of them, who were out of the formation, as prey .
The path that had been cleared earlier was beginning to close once again .
‘Damn it . ’
One of the chimeras that was approaching them charged at Desir . The chimera’s claws had a bluish aura coating them .
Just when Desir was about to cast a spell toward it .
“Leave it to me . ”
*Slash*
The chimera that was approaching Desir was sliced in the blink of an eye . It was a fast sword that was hard to follow with the naked eye .
Blood and pieces of flesh scattered in the air .
Pram left the formation and arrived, slaughtering chimeras on the way . His sky blue hair was matted with blood .
He stood between Pierrot Mask and Desir .
“Miss Adjest and Mr . Desir, please get out of here quickly . ”
Pram was going to deal with Pierrot Mask by himself .
Pierrot Mask’s full capability was yet to be determined .
The risk was too high .
“… … I’ll leave it to you . ”
But he could not think of any other way . If they did not break out of here immediately to stop Skull Mask, the situation could quickly turn for the worse .
There was no other way than to put his faith in Pram .
“Please, endure for a bit . ”
Desir signaled Adjest, and she nodded .
[Strength]
[Haste]
Desir casted body strengthening spells .
Adjest’s hair quickly turned silver .
Looking at the scene, Pierrot Mask snorted .
“You think I’m just gonna let you go?”
He snapped his finger .

*Crash*
*Crack*
Suddenly, the wires cut through everything in their trajectories and again attacked Desir and Adjest .
The number of wires must have exceeded one hundred . No, two hundred?
‘Was he always this strong?!’
Pierrot Mask’s true power that exceeded his expectations made Desir suddenly panic .
There was no escape . The wires that had them completely surrounded seemed more like a net .
This was an attack that was impossible to dodge .
At this moment, Pram began to move .
*Pzzt*
There was an uncanny sound that tickled the ears .
Countless silver trajectories formed a web in the air .
A silver slash .
*Crash*
*Crash*
Explosions followed as they collided with the wires everywhere .
Pram had aimed for the natural weak points that formed out of Pierrot Mask focusing his attack specifically on Desir and Adjest .
Only one moment was all it took .
Because they strengthened their bodies with magic earlier, they moved extremely fast .
‘Shit!’
Just as Pierrot Mask retrieved the wires and was about to chase them by disappearing into the darkness…
*Clang*
Pierrot Mask raised his dagger to block the incoming slash .
He glared at Pram who blocked his pursuit .
“… … Right, there was a recent rumor about a little kid called the Silver Light Swordsman . ”
The mockery was no longer seen on his face .
The wires again rose and squirmed . They almost looked like a knot of living snakes .
Pierrot Mask continued talking .
“You’re just as strong as the rumors . If I had the time, I would slowly toy the life out of you . But unfortunately, I’ve got no time to play with you today . ”

*Clatter*
The wires spread out everywhere . And they rained upon Pram simultaneously .
“I’ll end you quickly . ”
The moment Pram took a step and wielded his sword, the world around them seemed to darken in response to the bright light of his sliver beams .
The wires that were attacking him started to become entangled with the silver rays .
*Crash*
The lines, thin as threads, accurately collided and exploded .
“It might be true that I’m weaker than you . ”
*Whoosh*
A sonic boom shattered nearby windows, which had arisen from the constant exchange of attack and defense . Each of their attacks were moving faster than the air around them could react .
Pram and Pierrot Mask were both exceptionally talented speed-type fighters .
In the blink of an eye, they exchanged dozens of blows .
And every time this took place, an explosion swept through the surroundings .
Just as the impasse seemed to continue, Pierrot Mask reacted by pure reflex .
*Crash*
He just barely raised his short sword in time to block the attack that was already in front of his nose .
“Tsk!”
He could not endure the impact and leaped back .
Pram’s slash had such speed that Pierrot Mask could not even properly react to it .
Pram brandished his rapier and made a declaration to Pierrot Mask .
“But my sword is enough to stab through your throat . ”
