Chapter 90 - The Battle At The Eastern Settlement 3_3

"Hyaa!"

"Orya!"

Clang! Clang!

Dozens of Adventurers fought each other. They trying to take down their respective opponents.

Their battles could be said to be amazing because they used various types of Spells and Arte. They made fire and such out of nothing, split the ground with their weapons, and more than that, they moved at a speed that a human shouldn't have.

The battle between people in a fantasy world is completely beyond human common sense in my old world.

Let's leave that ridiculous battle.

Right now, the five of us are in an alley not far from the Teleportation Crystal. We got to this place without any problems and without being noticed by evil adventurers because we made the most of the blind spots made by the buildings here.

And yes, the five of us. I say it right.

One of us or rather, one from Bouquet Squad, Hacquetia, went to meet Elroe. The girl will notify the man, the knights, and adventurers on our side about our plans.

And before we executed the plan, we had to wait for the Squad led by Elroe to retreat and wait for Hacquetia to finish telling everyone else.

"Alright, after Elroe and the others retreat. You can use your skill immediately," Rose told me.

"Not here, we have to go to the middle of the battlefield and we need to gather those evil adventurers to get the best results. All of you should use Light Aura first."

"Light Aura is too noticeable with the light it makes. We'll use that Spell just before you use your Skill."

"Ah..." true! I forgot about it.

"And do you realize it? Gathering all those adventurers to attack you, us, is a bad idea?"

"I know, but, it's the only way for us to incapacitate all those adventurers without taking unnecessary casualties."

"You're too naïve but all right," said Rose, who drew her Great Sword. "Get ready, we will run towards the Teleportation Crystal when the signal appears. Those adventurers will approach us because of our actions. And remember, we don't have to intrude other people's battle."

We nodded, we prepared, and we waited.

The signal - a green smoke - eventually appeared after a few minutes had passed. So then, we ran towards the Teleportation Crystal.

"Stop them!"

"Don't let them get to the Teleportation Crystal."

"Halt their way."

The evil adventurers became agitated and alarmed. Some or more precisely, most of them instantly approached us. They had no qualms about attacking for a moment we went into their attack range.

Clang! Clang!

Within seconds, dozens of attacks were exchanged.

"Sakura!" Rose shouted.

A moment later sakura replied with, "[Light Aura]"

A golden light appeared to envelop our bodies. With this, I hope, Rose and the others will be okay.

"You can use your skill, miss! We have a lot of adventurers now."

I nodded then uttered, "[Mist of Nightmare Illusion]"

A blast of white mist was created to engulf us and the evil adventurers in an instant. 

And for the next, another few seconds, I saw the Adventurers around us come to a pause then tumble to the ground. At the same time, I could feel the heat of dozens of adventurers in the distance stopped too, although some of them could still move.

Rose and the others are not affected by the illusion. Light Aura worked nicely.

That's right, I can still see Rose and the others quite clearly because the mist I made only limited our visibility to three meters.

"Miss, how long will it take for this fog to disappear?" Rose asked in a whisper.

"Four to five minutes?"

"Why the question?"

"Because this is the second time I've used this Skill. So I'm not sure because of it." I explained.

Back then — when I was fighting the Headless Ape Chieftain — I didn't estimate how long it would take for the mist I made to disappear.

I was so afraid of the Headless Ape Chieftain when the mist engulfed us. I was afraid that the monster would launch an ambush when I had my vision blocked by mist. Therefore, I remained alert and didn't move in the slightest. 

I only killed the monster when the mist was gone and when I found out that the monster was swallowed by the illusion.

"Wait a minute, you've only used this Skill twice and without hesitation, you proposed a plan centered on this Skill to us?"

"Yes."

"Oh, my God! I don't believe this!" Rose's screaming and the anger that colored her voice made fear appear in my heart.

"Are you aware of the consequences of this plan?"

"...yes."

"That answer doesn't convince me at all. Miss, we'll talk at length later. Now, we must use the Teleportation Crystal to send Clematis."

"Absolutely ."

Even though I feel the danger that comes to me in the future, we continued our journey to execute a second plan, a plan to call for reinforcement. We will take advantage of the protection provided by this mist to send one of us back.

And of course, I'm sure, it's not just us who are executing this plan. The people on our side would have had the same plan if they had been informed by Hacquetia.

Sure enough, I could feel a dozen heats moving toward the Teleportation Crystal.

"Many people are approaching the Teleportation Crystal," I told Rose.

"How do you know that?" Cat-kin asked.

"Because I can feel their heat."

"Not only does it give the illusion, but this Skill can also detect people. I have to admit, this skill of yours is great," said Clematis who was impressed.

"No, detecting heat was done by my other skill. And, we should be able to see some of those people by now."

The white mist began to thin out and our visibility increased. Because of that, we could see some human silhouettes in the distance.

And...

I felt a heat that move quickly. That heat stopped another heat that moving toward the Teleportation Crystal.

Not only that, right now, dozens of other heats tried to deter each other. And a moment later, the sound of the battle sounded.

"Argh!"

"[Cross Slash]"

"Be careful! Someone launched-"

"[Valiant Shield]"

"Red Squad, form a fighting formation!"

"Bastard knight!"

Calm turned into chaos.

"Hurry up, move!" said Rose.

As fast as possible, we ran towards the Teleportation Crystal. And never did I expect, the heat that could move quickly was now approaching us.

"Wait!" I shouted to warn Rose and the others. I smelled a danger! "There is attack came from the northwest! [Wind Cannon]"

The huge air pressure shot quickly towards the quick-moving heat. Unfortunately, my attack was missed.

< Acquired a skill! Wind Magic |Lvl 1 >

[ + Gives access to World Memory to gain knowledge about Wind Spell I. 

+ When using Wind Spells increase the damage by 10% and decrease Mana consumption by 5%.]

Well... This is good news in a dangerous situation. Good combination, indeed.

But now was not the time to think about a new Skill. I have to concentrate on that heat that's now running behind us.

"Marigold! Protect Sakura!" commanded Rose who ran after the heat.

"Okay!"

Clang! Clang!

Her battle with the heat started. And thanks to that, I could see the real appearance of the heat.

A man armed with a dagger and a sword. That's what I saw. And surprisingly, the man wearing the gray leather armor was able to keep up with Rose.

"Not bad," said the man.

"Heis the Poisonous Mouse."

From the tone Rose used, she seemed to recognize the man.

"Not mouse but rat!" Shouted the man who then launched attacks on Rose.

Clang! Clang!

Their weapons flickering again. And I can say, they're so good. Rose had great raw power while the man was so sneaky and fast.

"[Agility Blessing]" Sakura uttered a Spell.

A green light appeared to envelop Rose. That spell would increase the red-haired woman's speed. However, for some reason, she fell to her knees.

"Cough! Cough!" Rose coughed and then vomited blood.

I know what that means! The man used poison as his weapon! ...maybe.

"The poison has finally shown its usefulness."

My guess is true.

Abandoning Rose, the man approached Clematis.

Seeing that, spontaneously, I ran up to the blue-haired woman. The man who realized what I was doing smiled.

"[Water Arrows]"

The seven water arrows were created to shoot quickly towards the man.

I thought the guy would dodge but he didn't! The man blocked those seven water arrows using his Dagger and sword.

Taking advantage of the opportunity while he was busy, I launched my attack.

"[Triple Thrust]"

My spear launched to stab the man's body. But...

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The man managed to fend off my attacks.

"Too slow little girl," said the man who then swung his sword towards my neck.

"[Fire Breath]"

Bwosh!

"What!"

Fire came out of my mouth. It surprised the man and he tried to avoid it. But, unfortunately for him, I won't let him get away just like that.

I moved my head to make sure my fire pursuit and scorched him. And luckily, because the distance between us was so close, he wasn't fast enough to getaway.

I managed to scorch the man's body.

"You damned whore!" He cursed and then kept his distance. The man tried to put out the flames that burned his body.

Of course, I'm not going to let that happen. As quickly as possible, I approach the man, I will defeat him.

And I couldn't believe it before I launched my attack, the man was already dead!

Hacquetia who suddenly appeared behead the man from his back!
