Their eyes were still fixed on the arrows homing on the beasts. No matter how much these Malaka tried to dodge the arrows, one way or the other, they kept penetrating them in the head.
Maira uttered, as she scratched her eyebrows, "Are you seeing this?"
"What kind of assist is that?"
"Assist!!" Agenor shook his head in confusion, "Look closely…"
"This is not assist... He is pulling the strings!"
Agenor added, "Every time he launched his arrows, he manipulates his strikes! He is so subtle about this, Falco does not even know it."
"For that, he needs to… Does he know Falco's attack patterns?"
"I don't think so…
Everyone in the group was experienced enough. He also knew that If Nakiya and Colt were here as well, they surely would have been able to get out of this situation without even needing his help. Nevertheless, he understood it was possible for them to draw out enough power to land systematic assaults on the beasts. The only thing they lacked right now was support against the overwhelming numbers. One by one, Maira stamp-out 23 Malakas in approximately 2 minutes. Being an archer herself, she got immediately accustomed to the timings of Creeds's shots. Although she was being surrounded by at least 15, the chain mace proved to be a lifesaver. Her range of strikes wasn't just limited to close quarters anymore. She could strike the beast from a distance a
The closest Malaka hurried to grab her neck, but she dodged sideways and precisely dug her rapier inside his left shoulder socket. She couldn't detach his entire arm, but the deadly precision made his arm go limp. Before Malaka could figure out what just happened, she did the same with his right shoulder and left knee to make him kneel on the ground. Before she could get out of the pinch, another one jumped at her. Fortunately, she was able to temporarily dismantle his joints too. Beasts kept rushing at her, but she kept dodging left and right while disabling their joints at a violent pace. Though It seemed like a smooth battle, her forehead was drenched in sweat. The burden kept increasing and so far, even a single arrow had yet to come to help her. She mutila

"Every time the second arrow penetrates their skull, it simultaneously hits her rapier as well.""So what ? The impact still should not be enough to kill it…""Yes! That's what I thought at first but the arrow's impact transfers the kinetic energy to the rapier's thin blade, ultimately making the blade vibrate violently inside the beast's head, scrambling their brains from the inside.""The second arrows' primary job isn't to land the killing blow, it's to make the blade go berserk. When the arrow invades the beast's skull, her rapier becomes more lethal. Unlike their strong bones, inside are soft so the rapier causes irreversible damage and kills from inside."Agenor added, "however, this doesn't mean his second arrow is adding nothing to the synchronic impact. I
Agenor stood dazed while an anesthetic blur of consciousness wrapped around him like an inescapable blanket. His mind couldn't comprehend the stream of volatile thoughts that swirled inside his head.Almost as if someone pulled the rug from under his feet, while several predefined conclusions started crumbling like a house of cards. He clenched his fist and stared at Creed, who was cleaning the bloodstains from his arrows on the ground."She told you this?""Yes!""Any chance of gaps in the memory...maybe a cognitive bias…""Not sure… but she seemed confident!"Agenor kept phasing out while trying to sort out his thoughts. His changing expressions did not bothe
Five figures ran like wind amidst the darkness of the ever gleaming aurora. They all had neutral expressions and eyes upfront. All five members of the Rha decided to search for Colt and Nakiya. So far, none of them have any idea which direction they ran off, nor did they encounter any clue. Therefore, Agenor suggested searching in the deepest section of the scorched fields, to which they all agreed. The idea was to search for the most dangerous places first. Everyone understood that there was a high chance that they might both be dead. However, they could not find their bodies yet, so Agenor, Falco, and Maira latched onto a hope. The atmosphere of anticipation and yearning was almost tangible. 17 minutes had already passed. Every member had his eyes open, yet they couldn't find anything. Not to mention Creed also
"Nothing is concrete yet..."Agenor replied. "I do not know what is going inside his head, and now that we have come across this... I just want to let you know that something bad is going on." "I feel sick just from the thought of him doing this to Nakiya...but the possibility still exists! Dangers have enough potential to turn into a catastrophe when the picture is not clear… This situation is convoluted, so you all should be prepared for the worst! " "..." None of them said anything in return. Now that Agenor had revealed everything, Falco and Maira's faces turned grim. None of them wanted to believe in the sickening possibility, but ignorance wasn't an option either. Creed could sense the inception of the hostility and doubt inside both of them. This was exactly wh
His voice dampened and, without even batting an eye, Creed uttered."I've found her…."The moment he said the words, everyone felt a burst of spark jolting through their blood vessels. A rush of adrenaline took over their muscles. Even if this was a false alarm from Creed's side, they had to take this seriously.This time, Creed had no concerns for the formation they were following. His mind was constantly ringing bells that recorder his priorities in a fraction of a second. His leg pushed against the ground, and he blasted forwards.The wriggling of the worms, the rustling of the leaves, a gust of air echoing through the bushes... sequence sounds began to invade his eardrums while forging a rigorous territorial blueprint in front of his eyes. Creed's percep
