26: Three-way Battle: Part 2

Start from the beginning
                                        

Following the order of her utterance, the aforementioned people began to appear in front of Kyulkyung in swirling pink tornado. There was confusion painted on their faces.

"Where am I? Who brought me here?" Chungha muttered confusedly.

"Kyulkyung-eonni? Nayoung-eonni?" Somi noticed them.

"It worked! I can't believe it!" Kyulkyung rejoiced.

"Exactly what worked?" Nayoung asked as she herself was baffled on how everyone got there.

"My Remote Teleportation," Kyulkyung simply revealed.

To put it simply, Kyulkyung was able to teleport her IOI mates toward her location without actually teleporting with them. This gives Remote Teleportation a similar effect to Summoning. The main difference is that via Remote Teleportation, people and objects will be brought forth using the same teleportation power that the teleporter has while beings brought by Summoning will appear in big orbs of white light.

"Why did you bring them here? I know that we are having a hard time but I did not say to bring reinforcements," Nayoung told Kyulkyung.

"But you did say we need an X-Con technique. So I brought everyone that I know of that could do a X-Con technique with you," Kyulkyung reasoned out.

"Okay, I think I understand what is going on. But in case you forgot, the enemies knew about our X-Con technique," Sejeong recalled.

"Well, like Ex-Monster said, it will work when used at the right moment," Kyulkyung replied.

"Might as well use this opportunity," Nayoung sighed. "So, here's the plan. We will try to weaken him somehow. If that happens, we will immediately use Chrysalis to maximize our chances."

"Got it," Chungha, Sejeong, Yeonjung, Doyeon and Somi nodded.

And so, following the plan, Roa and Yena circled around Baliel and began to attack him relentlessly. Nayoung was also doing her best at front.

"Divide and conquer from both sides? That's a trite battle strategy," Baliel mocked.

However, Baliel got surprised when the newly-arrived IOI members also added to the barrage of attacks.

"Reinforcements? Where did you come from?" Baliel was taken aback.

Baliel struggled to keep up with the offense. He did his best to counter but a shot of poison from Roa was able to land a solid hit on his back. He dropped to ground and was barely able to move, both weak from using his power and damages sustained. At this point, both Yehana and Kyla also fainted from prolonged use of their respective power of Shielding and Augmentation.

"Now!" Nayoung shouted.

"X-Con: Chrysalis!"

Baliel was surrounded by a translucent, pink cocoon

Baliel was surrounded by a translucent, pink cocoon. The cocoon gradually shrank. Lacking the strength to do anything at that point, Baliel was ultimately unable to escape the explosion, causing his demise.

"That took care of him," Nayoung finally collapse on the ground after the fight. She was conscious yet exhausted. "Thanks for the assist."

"No problem. Disple was under attack after all. That's what friends are for," Yeonjung replied.

"One thing though... this is not Disple," Nayoung told the five. "This is Hitbig."

"Really, now?" Somi looked around.

"Texty asked for our help. Turns out, they made the right decision. Three generals invaded here. We just took care of one while Texty and Newest-W are taking on the other two."

"Three generals? The Source of All Evil is really getting desperate, huh?" Chungha uttered.

While Frizthin and their reinforcement basked in the post-battle peace, Newest-W was still in the middle of war.
