Everyone was getting edgy now. The Soul Armors that once seemed majestic have now turned into clawed and burnt scraps of metal. Holes and deep claws appeared on their surface. The situation was turning grim each second, until the Rain opened her mouth abruptly. "I can be the bait..." "No…" Agenor said a few moments later. "You know we can't kill them all…" Rain replied. "Nobody is going to be the bait… just keep fighting, I will think of something! If not, I will use my berserk skill..." "Don't spout nonsense..." Maira replied, "Berserk is not the solution here! You know that already..." Agenor went into mulling again and didn't

"My worth... isn't something I have to prove to you. Although I wonder If I get you all out of there with the plan that your leader thinks is futile… Would you consider me better than him?"Creed words struck the entire team like a thunderbolt. Falco, too, felt the rug getting pulled under his feet. His face turned ugly "The fuck did you say?" Falco's eyes turned dark, as if something possessed him. "If I wasn't stuck here, I would have punched you in the face…""Hmm… Why are you so riled up?" Creed's chilling voice reverberated once again, "You can't trust my judgement because I'm a new member... isn't that what you are indirectly saying to me?"Maira interrupted, "Gryffon! Don't rile him up… "

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…

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.
