Chapter 765 Scatter Or Not.

This battle is giving the immortal link a massive headache that is threatening to split its head open. The champion of the furries can't affect him directly but the indirect consequences of interfering in the fight against the champion are already almost too much for him to bear. He held his head in his hands while he assessed the situation through his link to the other paragons.

The defense paragon strengthened her barrier and was able to hold on for the duration of the attack. The pressure of the law of fire pressed on her defenses for 10 seconds before it stopped. Then a swarm of phantom weapons began striking the barrier. They hit the barrier as fast as possible like thousands of very angry people knocking on a door for it to be opened. She could handle it fine but the problem is that the amount of phantoms was increasing. 

Salvin's attacks created a steady pressure that increased slowly. Then Salvos' attack came suddenly again. It hit her mind like a sudden unforeseen punch. She almost blacked out. This time she stumbled despite being prepared.

"More power." She yelled at the immortal link again.

Their situation has become more desperate than what it was 10 seconds ago when she asked for more power but he had to fulfill her request. The alternative is much worse. So the immortal link weakened the brutes a little more and even took some from the spell tower since she is essentially useless right now. He gave the defense paragon more power to tide them through.

The situation didn't improve. They would have been okay with a stalemate but It continued to get worse. The alternative attacks of steadily increasing pressure and a sudden blow to the mind are putting a strain on the defense paragon. It would have been a strain that she is more than capable of withstanding were it not for the focus of most of their connections to defend against Soverick. 

They are being pressured on all sides. Something has to change. They can't continue like this or they will experience defeat. The immortal link and the rest conversed anxiously amongst themselves. 

The attack buff paragon asked himself and the others anxiously, "What do I do?"

This was when Salvini got within 1 kilometer of him. He was the one that initiated the conversation for a change in the course of action and he did it because of fear. They haven't been trying to work together ever since the immortal power was eliminated. The loss of the paragon that can somewhat control them dissolved any corporation between them. But that has changed now that they are desperate.

The attack buff told them of his predicament, "I doubt I can hold on for much longer. I will have to retreat at some point but there are furries behind me too."

He is truly in a predicament. In front of him his Salvini and the other commanders. Behind him are Salvos, Salvin, and Ghaster. He is about to be checkmated.I think you should take a look at

The spell tower offered, "The best we can do right now is form up and concentrate our power in one place. We will be able to protect you that way. Surely the champion of the furries won't be able to handle every one of us."

If they come together then they will be able to utilize their powers. The brutes and the defense paragon will be able to preoccupy the champion of the furries enough for her to get space to utilize her spells. Things will change for them once she is able to set up her spell matrixes. That's what she thinks will help them turn the tables.

The immortal link disagreed, "What if we scatter? Their champion will have to come looking for each of us at that point. As long as I am safe behind the barrier then I can empower just one of you each time he fights you. We will be able to use just one paragon to delay him while the rest of you can eliminate the other furries around and limit the reduction of our connections." 

The two ideas have merits which they discussed to a great length but they are more inclined towards the idea of the immortal link. His idea is sound and will invalidate Soverick's plan to bunch them up. They are also more inclined to listen to him because the position of leadership has fallen to the immortal link. He is the glue that is literally holding them together. But there is another reason why they will listen to him rather than another paragon.

In the absence of an immortal power, the immortal link is next on the ladder of honor. In fact, immortal links are very much appreciated more than immortal powers. Their ability is rarest and they don't fight with other paragons for connections at all. Connections don't boost them at all so they don't benefits from it. 

In fact, they are welcomed by other paragons and used as the focal point for alliances among Paragons. It is because their divine ability only benefits other Paragons. Their divine ability don't empower them, so immortal links don't fight for connections and are not killed for their usefulness to the entire race. 

Child of the plane across generations have also loved immortal links. To kill an immortal link is not only to offend all the Paragons that the immortal link is allied with, but it is to also offend the child of the plane.

But even so, they were undecided on what to do. The spell tower was insistent on them bunching up so that she can be protected. She needs that protection to bring out her full power in a short amount of time. She really wants to bombard the champion of the furries and show everyone in the plane her greatness. So she continued to argue with them about what to do.

Their decision was made for them when the attack buff said his last words to them. "This is it for me. I wish you all good luck."
