Around forty of these monsters rushed from all directions, and as if they had planned it, Gertreld, Natalika, Ginie and Skullius sped in four different directions as they headed for the incoming enemies!
Tulnas whose sensory abilities were applied on a vast scale smirked as he saw everyone going to deal with their respective targets.
‘Connect with me. Don’t let any one of the strays get to the civilians,’ Tulnas commanded in his thoughts, the sands that formed a chair under him shifting slightly as if to affirm his order.
‘You still sense it, right?’ he thought before pausing a bit and nodding his head.
Tulnas’ goals when using the Seed of Quintess’ Eye had been to heal the infected and also, to draw whatever he had hypothesised was keeping tabs on the areas in this region.
If these guys were hiding, surely they wouldn’t completely neglect to make sure they stayed hidden, right?
As for the leakage in Primus energy, Tulnas assumed it was coming from whatever was spying on them. However, this was merely a side effect to the real thing that was causing the matter he was here for.
Primus was involved, he was sure, but this little application wasn’t what was causing the hubbub.
As for the unknown stalkers which he had finally showed themselves, using the overbearing energy of the Eye was his way of trying to agitate the creatures that exuded hostile energy and spotting their positions.
Fortunately, it worked but he was also cautious of the fact that this could be used by the enemy as a distraction against him for them to run away or relocate as he had confirmed that they knew he was onto them.
Thus, while also keeping an eye on everything in the town, he was also checking for anything odd outside with his more wide area ‘tools’.
The blindfolded lady, Natalika zipped through the streets at quick speeds.
She held the hilt of her longsword, a coating of mana which looked rather solid and refined revolving around her.
One of the Ghouls screeched as it galloped with its blade legs towards her!
Natalika prepared to draw her sword as her mana turned sharp, but then, something unexpected happened!
The Ghoul right blade suddenly rose, becoming smothered in thick bursts of dark purple energy that absorbed the light almost turning the area dark!
A mirage occurred as the air seemed to get superheated!
The blade then slashed right in front of it, and shockingly, a tear appeared in the air where the creature hurriedly leapt in, vanishing from sight !
…!
Natalika stopped and drew back, around her, mana gathering instantly in a one-meter radius!
She lowered her stance as she prepared for an attack, her unique senses searching around her with keen and eager lust for information!
Sound, sensation, smell.
These had been horned to the point where Natalika could use them to sense the presence of energies and not just material existences at a ridiculous level.
SWIISHHH!
A thunderous slash appeared from nowhere, rocking the entire section of the town like an earthquake as it clashed with Natalika’s expanse of mana!
Sparks flew as a sound akin to metal clashing against metal resounded!
Natalika remained calm as she analysed, her mana barely rippling from the clash of strength with invisible attack that had stormed it!
‘So that’s it…? They can hide in the folds of space? No. That’s not it… Its more like…’ she thought, before her head bobbed up with her instincts and experienced senses showed her the way!
Such a simple but tricky ability!
Right then, Natalika pulled out her sword and swiped laterally in the blink of an eye!
A long, shiny katana with alternating stripes of silver and white on its blade shot from the scabbard, going through the space where Natalika’s mana was protectively surrounding her, the white energy parting for the sword to exercise its full potential!
‘Demented Blindsword Technique, Demented Slash!’
The moment this lateral slash struck forward, blood spurted out from the open air, with a loud screech of pain echoing out!
With the attack though, one could identify something amiss, which was that the trail of blood in the open air was vertical, going from top to bottom even though Natalika had struck with a lateral arc!
WHOOSH!
From the open space, a dark, scythe-like leg from the Ghoul swiped through with an incredible speed towards Natalika, the superheated air around it dancing in waves as the area turned a few shades darker!
The blindfolded swordswoman dropped as she lowered her stance even further…
With a burst of wind that forged a mini tornado, Natalika’s figure vanished from her position, the Ghoul’s leg slicing through nothing but air!
As it performed the fruitless action…
SWISHHH!
Red blood flew everywhere where nothing could be seen except the natural space and a natural blade arm sticking out of said space!
Four lateral incisions marked by the flying blood showed everywhere, Natalika’s figure appearing in the area two meters behind the creature’s partially revealed form, her blade finishing its descent from a vertical slash!
Thud! Thud!
Dark chunks of flesh and limbs fell to the ground, revealed from their initially hidden state!
Natalika deduced and thought about several things as she turned to sense around the
dead Ghoul, loud thumps echoing from behind her as more of them approached, some even slicing through the air and jumping into the lacerations to hide themselves.
‘So… this was what Tulnas wanted to confirm? It seems that these things are the ones that have been spying on us. Hmm, but this doesn’t explain why he thinks it is all related to the emerging Clusters though. I suppose he has yet to reveal that, or is simply trying to confirm it before sharing,’ she thought before zipping towards the incoming enemies two of which were dispatched instantly with her Demented Blindsword Technique, blood flying from their bodies!
As she set her foot down, expanding her mana to encircle her, she couldn’t help but divert some of her senses towards the newest addition to their Guild.
‘I wonder how he will fare against these. Will he find out on his own the secret to their abilities to defeat them? That’s also if he can handle the raw power of a blue core beast with his own lacking strength,’ Natalika thought.
Either way, she couldn’t help him as it would put her at risk.
Skullius dashed towards one of the Ghouls with a visibly upset visage.
He grabbed the hilt to [Demion’s Dance]…
“…no. Let’s punch this thing to death,” he said to himself.
He wanted relieve his stress by pounding this thing with his raw physicality.
For that, a mass of darkness oozed out of him, its sheer appearance making the space in its immediate surroundings deform into swirling lines!
With this darkness smothering Skullius, Tulnas sensed the unique power, his attention being grabbed instantly.
Truly, one had to ask.
How would the Discount Human fare?
