"Thank you, my friend, no matter what happens I will survive today."
The skill synergies gave unbelievable benefits to Hiro, he felt kinda bad for not having these when he was massacring goblins, imagine an attack bonus per target marked, additional exp for each kill, and increased damage if you know the target well. This build was ideal for hunting, or fighting in prolonged engagements.
Hiro drew his sword and walked forward slowly to the devoted, he actually hid almost a kilometer away from the [Mirage Sphere] at Patches behest. He checked and saw due to watching the fight earlier, Hiro had a 50% Familiarity Index on all the devoted with Rilu being at over 70%.
Rilu who stood up first among the devoted checked the crimson cage and saw her Venator locked within.
"GIDEON! GIDEON! CAN YOU HEAR ME? COME OUT OF THERE!" yet despite all her orders the gigantic Knight who shrunk back to his original size of around three meters stood still in silence. A bit alarmed Rilu then went around rousing her men.
She even pulled out some medicine and started to treat the worse ones. Unfortunately for them, none of them had any caliber curatives as those were extremely expensive. Calibers normally regenerated a few points every minute so with time they will get back to full power.
But in back-to-back fights, it was a luxury to regain full calibers in battle aside from leveling up. The Mitsurugi harem's Overdrive canceler was a poor attempt at one. Most sold Caliber curatives gave a minimum of 200 points in one of the three calibers.
Due to being impoverished, Vanessa tried to mix some herself with Jade's knowledge as an alchemist store clerk. Their overdrive canceler granted a paltry 30 points in all calibers. Just enough to ensure Hiro doesn't spend hours in Caliber diseases.
When the devoted were all back to their feet most were complaining of aches and pains. Rilu then lifted her weapon and faced toward's Hiro's direction. "If you bastards have the energy to be so noisy, let us get this over with, Hiro-sama is coming here to battle. Keep your guard up. Do not let the stats in the report blind you. He can kill dragsaurians by the hundreds and can kill a gryphon in one hit. Let's go."
Hiro, who heard her words drove out the friendly image of the woman from her mind. Even though the transmigrator knew her story, her hardships, and her loss. Showing pity to an enemy was beyond stupid. There is no friendship between those on the other end of swords. Only fools consider such fallacies.
However, what happened next surprised him greatly! The devoted did not follow behind Rilu but formed up around her in a half circle. Then Frank raised his staff and Rilu jumped up from the ground. As the woman evaded, the spot she left had nine earth spikes impale the ground. The crusader then suddenly shouted his skill once more "DUEL!"
Unable to resist Rilu could not run but slammed her weapon on the crusader. During this brief period, the lighting swordsman attacked the woman only for her to turn her body and evade. "RAJIN SWORSMANSHIP - 5th form [MAGNETIC BLADE]" drawn by Z*nitsus katana, Rilu's scythe slowly veered off course towards it.
The hunter, the musketeer, and the archer all shot Rilu in full auto. Arrows, bolts, and musket rounds flew in large numbers toward the woman. In haste, she shouted "[SCALES OF JUSTICE] - MODE JUDGEMENT! I FORBID ANY OBJECT TO FLY!" at her words all the projectiles of the three fell to the ground.
With her scythe still locked with the lightning swordsman, three gigantic figures bull-rushed her. It was the two large knights with capes serving as [Anvil]s and the lion-kin with an axe. All three slammed their weapons on her thin frame as one shouted. "Weapon Skill! [INCREASE GRAVITY 30X]!"
At the lion-faced warrior's skill invocation, Rilu flew away like a ragdoll separating from her weapon. While she was flying through the air, the white-haired assassin and young knight appeared beside her and attacked her arms.
"[Guillotine]!" "[SAVAGE ARC]!"
The powerful blows removed Rilu's entire right arm from her shoulder and halved her left. The woman managed to bring her left arm up so only the elbow down was removed.
Rilu then shouted "[SPIRIT ARMOR]!" her body got covered in energy to protect her. Instead of hitting something hard though her body suddenly stopped moving in midair.
Wires started to slice her body bit by bit. The same metallic lines wrapped her legs, and her torso suspending her in the air.
Frank, R*y M*stang , and the last mage. Then proceeded to Bombard Rilu with assault spells.
"[LIGHTNING]!" "[FIRE LANCE]!" "[WIND BLADE]!"
Helplessly Rilu got nuked to kingdom come by spell after spell. Distraught, Hiro had no idea what the hell was happening. Should he help her? No, she was the enemy. It would benefit him more if she died.
"AGGHHHHHH!"
The woman continued to scream in pain as she remained strung in the air assaulted by magic spells nonstop. Blood flowed out of her missing limbs and the [Spirit Armor] adjusted itself to protect her vitals. While it gave more protection to those areas, it sacrificed others. Her unprotected legs got charred and stabbed by the ferocious attacks.
Hiro couldn't stand still and started to pace around. "Why the hell would they do this to her? Should I intervene?"
Regardless of how much Hiro liked her as a person, they were enemies. In his insistence on that point, his mind recounted their interactions. to verify if she was an enemy.
