Chapter 235: Synchronization
Vivian watched the fight carefully before asking Sera. "Can you see what he is doing?"
"Of course. As someone who has the same fighting style, I can see it. Synchronization is a versatile ability. At first glance, it looks like you are able to share your Ena with anyone else.
"However, by carefully manipulating the Ena, you can do a lot of variations. There are four general variations: Super Boost, Split Boost, Time Boost, and Multiplication Boost.
"Super Boost is reinforcing the target's Ena with your own to the very limit. That's basically what that black dog is doing.
"Split Boost is where you split your Ena to boost multiple people at once. Meanwhile, the Time Boost is where you choose a specific timing when activating the synchronization, allowing you to time it perfectly right before the attack.
"Multiplication Boost is splitting several synchronizations but ends up targeting one person. This is similar to the Super Boost, but the Split Boost is focused on increasing the user's Ena while the Multiplication Boost enhances the target's ability.
"I'm focused on Split Boost and Multiplication Boost, but from what I can see, Prince Rudeus is mastering the Super Boost and Time Boost.
"Right before the enemy's attack, he is boosting that person, which will increase their power. By doing so, you can boost multiple people in succession, depending on who needs it. And each boost is Super Boost, which increases their Ena, physical strength and so on instead of their ability.
"But he is doing it at such a speed. That takes skill. Even I don't know if I can do such a thing or not. As expected of someone from the Liaystian's royal family."
Vivian smiled. "Well, they say the Liaystian family is a family focused on this boosting power because 'fighting' is beneath them. In other words…"
"Focus on them, huh?"
As Vivian said, that was what Nathan was doing. The moment he realized what the enemy was doing, he immediately formed ten bullets and sent them up.
The bullets curved and fell on Rudeus.
The cyclops was trying to stop it, but Anubis sent forth his bandages, holding him back. Still, with the boost from Rudeus, the cyclops overpowered Anubis and tossed him toward the minotaur instead.
At the same time, Rudeus raised his hand, forming a barrier made of Ena, blocking the bullets. Since Nathan didn't pack a power, he wouldn't be able to penetrate this barrier.
In addition, the minotaur immediately struck Anubis before Fenrir recovered.
Fortunately, even if he was on the ground, his tail was still able to move. He released the tail attack when the minotaur had just released his attack. Anubis obviously had the strength to protect himself. His paw landed on the hammer's surface as the minotaur launched him away.
Anubis frowned for a second, but his bones didn't crack or snap.
Meanwhile, the tail attack reached the minotaur and hit his side, leaving behind a long, shallow wound.
"Roaaa!" The minotaur was screaming in anger, trying to smash Fenrir right after. The latter rolled on the ground, avoiding that attack. After that, he released his bark, causing the minotaur to feel some impact that threw his stance off.
"!!!" The minotaur hurriedly recovered, but Fenrir was already in front of him, pushing his body weight against him.
Now that he knew about Rudeus' power, Nathan chose to focus on Rudeus. He shouted, "Anubis!"
"Understood!" Anubis rushed forth the moment he landed. His target was Rudeus. Even if he had a barrier, Rudeus wasn't strong enough to fight against a healer like Anubis.
In the meantime, he had to stop the cyclops from interfering.
He didn't have Ena to do it. With Vivian watching, he couldn't use his Soul Contract either.
Hence, there was only one method he could use to stop the cyclops.
Dragon Fist.
Nathan came straight at the cyclops' head as the latter tried to catch him.
But this Dragon Fist was actually a bait. The moment he was about to arrive, Nathan canceled his ability. In fact, his jump was not enough to even reach the cyclops' head. Instead, his target was the shoulder.
Once he landed on top of the shoulder, Nathan formed an explosive bullet. After more than a month, he could finally use this explosive bullet like he intended to. He released the explosive bullet like a normal bullet, looping it around the hand so that the explosive bullet could hit the cyclops' head.
Boom!
The explosion pushed the cyclops' upper body backward. However, the cyclops regained his balance by taking a step back, preventing him from falling and crushing everything underneath him.
Still, this was enough to hinder the cyclops for a moment. As a result, Anubis could reach Rudeus with no one stopping him.
To their surprise, Rudeus remained calm, as though he had expected it. Right before Anubis reached him, the ground cracked as a rock pillar emerged, forcing Anubis to leap away.
"!!!" Anubis turned his head, finding the gnome.
Because the gnome was leaving August's side, it meant August and his dwarf had to find a way to fight Selena, Sasha, and Risa.
That was what they did. When Selena released her sweeping force, August waved his blade, splitting it in two.
Sasha wanted to help, but the dwarf suddenly stopped her so that she wouldn't be able to help the other two.
But this meant Risa was able to do whatever she wanted. She summoned multiple blood spears toward August. The other party finally showed the fact he was the Blacksmith Guild's heir.
He struck only the spears that were about to reach his skin, whether it was on the head or the arms, and ignored the rest.
Those blood spears hit his clothes, which surprisingly ended up getting neutralized.
"!!!" Risa widened her eyes in shock. "How can that be? It is as if my spears are being dispersed…"
"Pfft! Do you think you can focus on me? You have to worry about Rudeus first. After all, his clothes are made of materials that disperse Ena." Rudeus smirked, looking at Nathan.
