Chapter 346 - Encounter ( 2 )

It was the same for everyone as they somehow felt that their location was scanned by the nearby Sentient Arcana.

Although they are busy fighting off against the Dark Elves, the group of Sentient Arcana remained conscious of their surroundings and perhaps, they thought that Diether's group are attempting to ambush them!

"Tsk… They know we're here." Stella muttered as she touched her Spectral Cloth Vambrace. She's ready to transform at moment's notice to fight against the Sentient Arcana.

If she considered them with the same power as her Master, then she can't underestimate them and she had to fight them with her full strength or it might be too late.

"Hmm. They don't seem to be really strong though. Most of their skills are single-target. It's taking them too much time to even deal with a single Dark Elf."

"Well, they don't have any wielder. They might be struggling because of that… Master Reiji also needed my help to fight against some Evil Beasts before."

"That makes sense then. For now, just remember how they fight."

Imane, Diether, and Mourad commented as they watched the battle. 

The unusual wavy sword, or the Kris Sword, is moving like a snake as it fought graciously against the Dark Elves… Aside from the movement Arcane Magic that it uses, it is not using other Arcane Magic that could kill the Dark Elf. It is only relying on its speed to cut its opponent.

However, that's enough. Its sharpness is enough to kill these elves who are only relying on their curses and controlled beasts. 

The Taichi Sword, on the other hand, has a mysterious fighting style. 

Every time it hits something, it would create a powerful impact no matter how light it hit an object!

It was quite an intriguing ability as it continuously disrupts the dark elves from casting powerful spells. 

As for the Cloak Arcana, it is flying around the battlefield and casting various Arcane Magic as support.

It would cast a rain of piercing ice arrows, wind razors, and even fireballs from time to time.

It is such an odd Cloak! Normally, Cloaks, Capes, or Robe Arcana only has ­Arcane Magic related to strengthening, stealth, aura, or some other passive skills. 

However, the Cloak they are seeing right now is capable of throwing Elemental Skills which is not something you'd normally see.

"Those Sentient Arcane are really good."

"Yeah… They've aren't just attacking recklessly. They have coordinated movements like they've done this bfore. It even feels like someone is controlling them and making a strategy."

"Hmm… That's true. However, I can't sense any other human or sentient Arcana in the area."

"They're about to kill the remaining Dark Elves… Get ready. They might attack us after."

Everyone put their guards up as they saw the last dark elf beheaded by the Kris Sword. 

Thud!

As soon as the body dropped to the ground, the seven Kendo Practitioners remained silent and waited.

After all, their enemies are the Dark Elves. Since the Sentient Arcana are killing them as well, they might be able to become an ally. They didn't want to provoke them that easily.

Finally, the silence was broken after Rufus whispered something.

"We don't look like we're part of the Dark Elves, right? Although you guys have dark skin, I don't think they'll make a mistake since your eyes and ears are different."

Rufus said while looking at the four Half-Imps. 

"Of course, not. The Dark Elves also exudes an irritating smell."

Imane immediately replied. There was no way she would consider herself similar to the stinky Dark Elves who would bathe in dark mud.

Whoosh~

Suddenly, the three floating and Sentient Arcana surrounded the group of seven.

They encircled them for a few moments. It seems they are trying to assess their strength. However, before they could understand what's going on, Diether and the others realized that they were about to get attacked.

"Wait! We're not your enemies! We also want to hunt the Dark Elves! We're humans! Look at my ears!" 

Rufus shouted as he showed his ear by leaning his head to the side. Since he has short silver hair, he didn't have to put aside his hair for his ear to be seen. 

"Don't attack us!" He added.

With this action, the others decided to just defend and not to retaliate against the Arcana.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

They put up a good defense as none were injured from the first attack. 

"Hmm… Maybe they don't have a high-level intelligence like our Master Reiji?"

"Ugh… That might be the case. Perhaps, they can't communicate like our Master."

"I guess, our Master Reiji is really the best Arcana."

Diether, Stasis, and Stella whispered to each other after noticing that they did not respond to Rufus' words.

Honestly, they know too little about these moving Arcana. Perhaps, their master was just too special even amongst the Sentient Arcana…

The group is now considering whether to destroy these things with all their might.

However, as they are trying to consider the best course of action, the Cloak and the two other swords suddenly stop mid-air!

"W-what did you say? Did I just hear that Reiji is your Master?!"

They have such a good hearing! 

The group suddenly heard the Cloak Arcana's deep voice. This is not their first time hearing a mysterious voice inside their head so they immediately recognized where the voice is coming from.

The Kris Sword and the Taichi Sword also appeared to be interested as they waited for their answer.

"You guys really know our Master? Amazing!"

"Wait! What if they're master's enemy? Why did you reveal it so fast?"

"Oopss… They already heard our whisper, anyway." 

Stasis scratched her head as she looked apologetic to Rufus.

"Don't mind it… Even if they're enemies, it doesn't matter now." Diether added as he held his sword tightly. He's ready to fight if necessary.

"Hoho~ This is interesting… Let me introduce myself. I'm Ryu, the finest Cloak Arcana… I know your Master since I previously invited him to be a member of our organization. Since you guys are working for a Blessed Arcana, then we can indeed become allies."

His words confused them but they understood one thing, this group of Sentient Arcana knows their Master!

Finally, the group of seven met the remnant members of the Mind Collection.
