I Stayed Even When It Started Hurting by Tarin Kross 660
Chapter 660 Star Track Trap
Her Frosted Feedback procd cutting the cost of her next heal.
She tossed a healing buff onto Riley while fixing off a quick small fireball.
The fireball landed right where the Gatekeeper was about to slide to.
It didn’t deal much damage, but it forced the monster to lift its blade and block.
Riley seized that tiny opening and charged straight in.

Her Earthen Battle Wristband flared to life. She moved like a solid chunk of iron, charging through the pressure of the enemy’s long blade and stopping three steps right in front of the Gatekeeper.
TartKing’s eyes twitched as she watched this.
She knew she couldn’t only focus on healing now.
PineappleBeer was in bad shape. Their team had lost their best spotter and counter. Riley couldn’t tank and fight alone for long. TartKing needed to cover crowd control, interrupts, and pull Riley free whenever the star tracks tried to drag her down.
The Star Track Gatekeeper drug its long blade across the ground again.
This time, the silver lines didn’t target Riley. They snaked straight toward Pineapple Beer behind the pillar.
TartKing’s expression sharpened.
‘It’s going after Pine!”
She didn’t have time to switch to her greatsword. She lifted her hand and threw a Silver Line Severing Talisman.
The talisman unfolded mid–air, turning into a short sharp blade that sliced through the dragging silver line.
The line snapped apart for a second before reconnecting right away.
But that split–second gap was enough.
Riley spun around, darted in front of PineappleBeer, and crossed her dual axes to block the incoming blade strike.
Clang!
The impact knocked her two steps back. Her Crimson Scale Heart–Lock Underarmor heated up against her torso, absorbing the piercing force of the blade. Her HP dropped a noticeable chunk, and her stamina drained sharply.
Gritting her teeth, TartKing swapped back to her Frosted Judgment Greatsword.
She charged to Riley’s rear flank and swung the flat of her blade. Instead of striking the enemy’s weapon or chest, she aimed straight for its sword–wielding wrist.
Her Judgment Slam landed true.

The Star Track Gatekeeper’s movements froze for a split second.

Riley’s axes sliced upward the instant it stalled, cutting into its forearm joint.
Fine silver shards burst into the air.
The Gatekeeper stumbled backward. Its underfoot star tracks flared brightly, sliding its body between the seven stone pillars before it slowly raised its long blade again.
The idle Starlight Armor Figures guarding the nodes all took one step forward in unison.
TartKing panted heavily. Constantly swapping between staff and greatsword made her arms burn. She bit open a stamina potion, drank half of it, and passed the rest to Riley.
“Burger… is it about to summon adds?”
Riley didn’t answer. She downed the potion in one gulp, never taking her eyes off the core on the Gatekeeper’s chest.
PineappleBeer stood up straight while leaning on the pillar, still looking extremely pale.
“It’s drawing power from the star tracks… Don’t let it get back to the central lamp.”
Riley glanced back at her. “Stay right there.”
PineappleBeer tightened her grip on her Time–Severing Shadow Blade, the veins on her back of her hand bulging.
“I can see part of its trajectory.”
“Just tell me. Don’t move.”
Riley’s tone was sharp and firm.
PineappleBeer pressed her lips together and finally nodded.
The Star Track Gatekeeper swung its blade down.
Three silver lines shot up from the ground at once, snaking toward Riley, Tartking, and PineappleBeer separately.
Riley charged the one heading for her and hacked at it hard with her axes.
Tartking switched back to her staff, cast Silent Bell Blessing on herself, then blocked with her greatsword, tanking the second line’s dragging force head–on. Her temporary shield flared bright under the pull, sliding her half a step across the black stone with a harsh scraping sound.
The third silver line wrapped toward PineappleBeer’s ankles.
PineappleBeer’s fingers twitched, her Shadow Gap Ring glowing with a faint dim light.
She instinctively tried to dodge.
But a brutal headache crashed over her out of nowhere. Her vision blurred, and her movement lagged half a beat.

Tart
TartKing was already rushing over.
She had no time to switch weapons, so she slammed the flat of her Frosted Judgment Greatsword down right beside PineappleBeer’s feet.
