Chapter 35 Coming up with a plan

Coming up with a plan Lv 10

Strategic Mind Lv 10

Possibility scenarios Lv 10 

Plan-making skills activate simultaneously filling Shin's brain with all sorts of plans that he could take to take down the T-rex.

Scenarios that could happen, plans that can work with the number of people present from 1 to 6, possible dangers, and what could happen.

(The t-rex have its jaws and tail as its main weapon while its mobility relies heavily on its hind legs, it defense is just its hide. But it have high physical defense despite have no defense capability whatsoever)

Plans began to formulate in his mind, each more likely to succeed.

(So that means the focus on taking it down should be a magic attack!)

"Alright, I have a plan" he announced clear and loud for everyone to hear all of a sudden.

The time it takes for his mind and skills to form a plan is 15 seconds.

"...?" the trio looked at him with confusion while Clara and Alaine nodded ready to listen as they had already seen his planning capability.

"We're gonna take it down with the focus on magic-based attacks so I will be relying on you Alaine" he turns to look at her who nodded ready at his signal.

"And...Laura" then a name some people expect came out of his mouth but didn't think he would actually say it came out, including the woman herself.

"What?" said Clara surprised.

"Yeah, magic-based attacks, we got two magicians here so we're good to go"

"Are you serious?" asked the speaker.

"What? It's a good plan"

"Hey, I know you have beef with her and stuff but this isn't the time for that"

"What? This is a good plan, you got a problem?"

"Yeah, like how you have been staring at her all this time"

(Oh....I really need to work on my side glance more) Shin noted to himself next time he would check a hot girl out.

"Will you shut up?" asked Alaine annoyed at the speaker's words.

"Oh, why--....." then the speaker paused upon seeing her.

Then turns to look at Aerina who is by the side.

Then at Alaine.

"...There's two of you?"

"..."

"..."

<Silence >

"..."

"Are you ■■■■■■■ kidding me?!"

"Who are you and why do you look like her?!"

"What do you think?!"

"You're a doppelganger?"

"What?!" she shouted.

"Or maybe a lookalike"

"That's the same thing," said Clara.

"You both have the same ancestor and share that feature with them?"

"I got these from my parents!"

"You're her, but from another dimension?"

"What the ■■■■?!!"

"I got it. You're a clone of her with a rude personality"

"..."

"....Did I get that right?"

"■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■!!!!"

Alaine jumped at the speaker grabbing the neck and shaking it vigorously.

"I'm her twin sister, mother■■■■■■!"

Laura watches in horror as she hears all sorts of words coming out of Alaine's mouth who has the same exact face as the nice and polite Aerina, creating a stark contrast between the identical twins.

<Roar >

Just then the roar of the t-rex rang loudly again and this time instead of a collision against the cave, a scream sounded far lesser compared to its roar but distinctive enough for everyone to hear.

<Thud >

A figure flew through the air before flying in through the cave entrance, colliding against the ground a few times like skipping stone, and sliding towards the group landing right in the middle of their circle.

"....Arghh...."

The figure groaned in pain having been thrown off the t-rex's body.

"....Hey, man," said the speaker greeting the new arrival.

".....Where am I?"

"A cave"

"Oh, thanks"

"No problem"

<Thud >

Then Irviel Goldwin fainted.

__________

"So, you need two magicians to win this right?" asked the speaker.

"Yep"

"...This better work"

The speaker getting to the point and ready(?) surprised Shin.

(Did seeing a dude slid across the floor flip his switch or something?)

"Alright, let's do this"

"So, who's the vanguard?"

"Me, Clara, and....probably you?"

"....Probably"

"Alright, let's do this everyone"

Shin began to explain the plan to everyone covering the danger and opportunity for attacks, while highlighting the key points.

Prepare your strongest attacks and shoot

(That doesn't sound like a plan) thought Laura as she positioned herself at the back watching as the vanguard prepared themselves.

"..." her companion looks at her for a moment before taking out the weapon; a spear with jagged lines running throughout its body.

"Alright, go!"

And the plan is set in motion.

___________

Clara ran out first followed by Shin and the new companion.

Activating her taunt, physical boost, and shield skills, the t-rex's jaws loomed over her in a second.

<Clang >

Despite its teeth, upon contact with her shield, it makes a metallic sound as it collides against her tool.

A spear appeared to her left touching its jaw and dragging along its skin as the third companion ran quickly past it leaving a trail of blood.

<Roar >

Shin appeared and stabs its eye, blinking in and out quickly.

Clara saw this and moved on to the next step.

<Clang clang>

Pulling out her short sword she smacked it against her shield drawing its attention away from the cave as the ran to the right following Shin.

Laura and Alaine got out of the cave upon its tail is in sight and began preparing their most powerful spell.

Setting the distance between the mages and them, Clara came to a stop and began tanking again, slamming her shield against its lower jaw and pushing it to the side, while Shin and the companion would attack its lowered upper body from time to time.

Shield Bash activates

<Bam >

Dazed the t-rex took a step back allowing the two flank attacks to get some damage in, while Clara bash it multiple times.

<Roar >

(It's enraged now)

Something a feral-type monster would behave.

The forces of its attacks became stronger forcing Clara to put in more effort to held it back.

Aside from its strength its movements became more feral and swift leaving less chances to attack and higher chances of getting smacked.

"Alright, move on to the next part!" shouted Shin.

The next part of the plan is its hind legs, something they have been avoiding because of drawing its attention to the back where the two are charging up their attacks.

The weapons cut at its flesh while coming into contact with the bone leaving it bleeding profusely as much as its upper body.

<Slash slash>

The t-rex turns to look at its hind legs by turning around just in time for the two to avoid its tail or its jaws.

It then noticed two magic being prepared at the cave entrance by two humans.

"!"

Noticing its attention drawing to the two at the cave, the companion prepares the spear ready to use its skills, but before that could happen.

"Fire!"

<Boom >

Everything brightened up in an instant and an explosion occurred.
