The Over-Break System

[TIMES UP, KILLING ALL THREE NOW!] Cynrik gave an unnecessary warning as he brought his hands together and formed a basketball-sized condensed sphere of [BlackFire]. Raising his arms above his head with the glowing black orb and taking aim at all three RaptorBasilisks, Cynrik smiled and noticed none of them were aware of his presence, even after channeling so much Mana.

However, he nearly lost control of his attack half a second later, causing small bulbous contusions to appear all around the formerly smooth and round construct as Tobs' monotone and sarcastic voice entered his head.

-"Stop being stupid, you ignoramus; if you are going to fire off something that will generate a large explosion, GET THE HELL AWAY FIRST!" end message.-

'Hic, FUCKING HELL TOBS, A LITTLE WARNING NEXT TIME!' Cynrik screamed internally as he smoothed out the bulging edges of the [BlackFire] sphere.

-I was only doing what you asked of me. It's not my fault you aren't accounting for how large of an explosion the condensed Mana construct you are forming will have.-

'That doesn't mean I want you randomly cutting in and startling me. Fuck, can't you read my mind? Why didn't you speak up when I conceptualized the thought?' Stepping behind the cover of a reinforced pillar, Cynrik tossed the sphere into the center of the three dinosaurs and clenched his fist tightly, causing the globe to shrink a few centimeters before violently erupting.

BOOOOM!

-It wouldn't be a warning unless I said it on time. There is also the fact that you would be less inclined to show caution if I spoke up too early.-

FWOOOSSSHh

Tucking his body against the stone pillar, Cynrik was blasted by a hot wave of air as the attack incinerated everything 10 meters from his position.

[Open the front-most middle wall and let me out. You can also leave it down for the time being, and one of us can use this chamber as a failsafe when we are in a pinch.] Dusting off some soot from both shoulders, Cynrik peeked around the pillar and only saw a significant black scorch mark on the ground. From left to right, Cynrik scanned the room taking count of the damage, stopping when he spotted a strange image. The pillar Dino-1 had been resting against had the shadow of its figure stained into the stone.

[On it.]Tapping his left foot on the ground, Brance collapsed the requested wall before walking around the trap to see the extent of the damage his brother caused.

RUMBLE

Nodding silently, Cynrik made his way toward the retreating Terra construct and only tossed a cursory glance at the damage he had caused. Besides Dino-1's death shadow, the only thing of note was that the stone floor and pillars seemed basically undamaged, aside from the dusty black marks coating everything.

Brance thought otherwise when he walked into the trap and noticed the damage.

"Ugh, damn it!" Activating [Mana Sight] and examining the extent of the damage by observing how densely packed the particles currently were, Brance was able to tell that the outermost layer of the pillars facing the blast had been rearranged and showed signs of destabilization.

"Why the hell did you use so much power? You damaged a large margin of the particles in the trap and some stored in the surrounding walls." Brance complained as he pushed passed his brother and hurried up to a scorched pillar.

"Eh? Why are you bitching about the interior pillars? Shouldn't your focus be on the ones that make up the trap? That's like saying here, let me give you a cracked cup, and then getting mad that the water is actually soda instead of the fact that the cup is leaking." Rolling his eyes and nodding at Gabby, Cynrik walked out of the trap and back into the room itself.

Once clear of the high walls, he spotted the particle storm grouping back up and moving toward the center of the room, where more mass was added, joining in with the existing storm swirling turbulently.

"45 seconds till spawn; get your ass in position, little brother. Gabby, you will be taking up the spot we teleported in. I'm taking the far left side of the room."

"When the Dinos spawn, I want you to instantly pick the two closest and shoot them, pulling their aggro." Cynrik paused and glanced over to Brance as he emerged from the trap and started channeling two small stones in his palm.

"Björn and I will take the leftovers. And remember, wait for my signal to kill them off. Everything from here on out is about precise timing. One false misstep and we are going to be surrounded. Take to the pillars if you have trouble staying on the ground and dodging." Rolling out his left shoulder, Cynrik continued.

"The worst these overgrown chickens can do is ram their way through the stone like bulls or hop up a few meters; I don't see them having enough skill to climb," Cynrik explained before breaking off into a sprint and heading toward his starting point, the opposite corner Brance was in.

[The trap corner is yours; I don't have to tell you how to handle yourself, and if need be, have Gabby fall back and use the containment area.] Cynrik said as his mental timer hit 25 seconds.

[Got it.] Transfering the two stones to his right hand, Brance rested his palm on his sword's kashira (end cap) and began counting down from 20. Since the moment of the three creatures' deaths, he had been keeping track of the ticking seconds.

Gabby nervously hurried over to the teleportation location and drew her Crossbow, pointing it at the center of the field while creating a [Psychic Disk] with her left hand. Doing her best to keep her hand from shaking, Gabby took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, just as the particle storm touched down on the ground.

|One minute has passed since the death of a Virtual Creature, now spawning two Early Tier-2 RaptorBasilisks.|

|One minute has passed since the death of a Virtual Creature, now spawning two Early Tier-2 RaptorBasilisks.|

|One minute has passed since the death of a Virtual Creature, now spawning two Early Tier-2 RaptorBasilisks.|

Gabby stiffened as the storm separated into six different clouds and formed the new creatures, followed by three notifications that rolled in a fraction of a second apart, showing how quickly the three original creatures had died. Without hesitating, she picked the two in the group's center, released a bolt, and fired her disk.

Half a second later, the two attacks connected, with the disk biting into the first dino's shoulder and the bolt piercing the eye of the second.

Not even a beat later, two small orbs of fire smashed into the far left creatures, and two rocks hit the far right. Instantly all six RaptorBasilisks screeched, clicked, or roared in anger.

[22k on mine.] Cynrik said as he reached behind his back and unsheathed his dagger before rushing forward to meet his new opponents.

[Same here; if four are matching, it is safe to say the remaining two are as well. My [Stone Bullets] did 800 damage each, in case you are wondering], Brance scoffed as he began channeling more stones in his palms and rapidly flicking them.

While the two brothers went into combat, Gabby too followed suit, running towards her opponents as they swiftly covered the 25-meter distance between their spawn and her position with bloodshot eyes.

'They seem to be just as fast as the ones Big Bro fought earlier, and based on how the one with a bolt in its eye is running unsteadily as if it had too much to drink, I can conclude I may have hit part of its brain, disabling certain motor functions.' Gabby thought as she crouched down and sprung over the heads of both dinos.

'My aim was off, and I got lucky that I didn't instantly kill the Raptor; if not, I could have messed up Big Bro's entire plan.' Flipping through the air and launching a bolt into the spin of the one-eyed creature, Gabby watched as its feet turned wobbly and its face planted into the ground running full speed before slamming head first into a pillar.

Although she wasn't an expert with every kind of animal, she could tell that the RaptorBasilisks had a well-defined spine and had shot her bolt at the precise point that would disable its legs.

As the one-eyed creature hit the ground, the second whipped around, smashing its tail through a pillar, and launched itself at Gabby, with both legs forward and its two massive deinonychuses (single large, curved claw on each foot) high, wanting to catch her with them.

Unfortunately, the creature wasn't smart enough to realize that even in the air, the girl wasn't helpless, and all it took was a simple [Mana Disk] for Gabby to push herself out of harm's way.

On the way back down to the ground, Gabby manifested several sharp disks right in front of her attacker, catching it off guard. Before reacting, the creature lost chunks of flesh from its right arm and tail as it smashed through the razorblade like Mana constructs and hit the ground in a heap.

Tapping down, Gabby reloaded her Crossbow and rapidly fired several more bolts at the non-paralyzed dino, hitting it in both knees, calves, and ankles to keep the creature down.

Once the final of the eight bolts found its mark, the creature could only struggle to stand and give up, smacking its head on the ground in anger.

Seeing that her opponents could no longer move freely, Gabby started shooting them in non-vital areas and monitored their physiological reactions as she chipped away at their HP.

Unlike Cynrik and Brance, Gabby didn't have a HUD that showed them how much life her opponents had left, so she could only judge their state after monitoring their reaction to the pain and how hard they struggled.

Meanwhile, as Gabby crippled her two enemies, Brance set about whittling down his two enemies with [Stone Bullets].

'Fuck, I hate math, ok, so to kill them, it would take roughly 28 bullets and it only costs me a minute amount of MP per attack,' he thought as he dove out of the way of a swift tail strike and countered with a hail of bullets.
