This formation supposedly allowed them to defeat countless armies despite being overwhelmed by millions to one. Rilu being a fanatic of the group would never allow such wisdom to remain unused.
Parry after parry, decapitation or dismemberment would follow without fail. Like a waltz, the Venator and devoted pair continued to massacre the large burly monsters with unceasing efficiency.
Going back to our transmigrator, Hiro who needed to mind both attacking, defending, and avoiding encirclement had a way harder time than the two. Originally he intended to allow the young woman to guard him. At the last minute, he decided to fight alone.
Aside from fighting goblins, Hiro had paltry experience in anything else. By allowing Rilu to guard him. He would not only lose the chance to learn to fight large groups but also develop bad habits in co-dependence.
Should Rilu suddenly betray him, it would be difficult to stop her. Preventing him from failing in that situation would be the quickest way to avoid the trap. Unlike goblins, dragsaurians were intelligent to the level of a human teenager.
Also, Hiro fought alone, until this fundamentally changed partnering with Rilu would deter his efforts instead. Of course in choosing this route, the odds of him dying were significantly higher.
He quickly used [Inspect] and gulped aloud from what he saw.

The overgrown reptile eclipsed the stats of even the gryphon. It was only with [Straight Pierce], [Impact], and [Sword Driver] did his damage reach over 10,000.
Without them, his strongest attacks would only be his base STR and the weapon's damage. Which would be 178 HP, even with Rilu halving the HP of the entire horde of monsters Hiro would need to hit each dragsaurian 10 times to kill it.
Critical hits to weak points would reduce this. Unfortunately, it was not like the monsters would quietly offer their necks. If you add the base armor given by the monster's hide, bonus from buffs, and skills, the number of blows needed to take down a dragsaurian would only increase further.
Hiro tried to attack the monsters only for them to knock him around. The overwhelming difference in STR allowed the lizards to shrug off his attacks as if they were fighting a child. The transmigrator quickly found himself overpowered and slowly started to lose hope.
At over 800 STR, stat-wise they would be like mountains Hiro could never beat. He was no hero, his name only sounded like one. A nobody in his last life, and still a nobody in this life.
Negative thoughts started to enter the transmigrator's mind, His entire body trembled from fear. Hiroyuki came to this world, not as the overpowered protagonist but as a random mob.
In his one month of grinding. Death became his constant companion. Adventurers who he chatted with one day would be among the dead the next.
In the worlds of Valorious, while risk gave rewards, it also dealt out death to the unprepared without warning. This contributed to the reason Hiro choose to fight alone. He felt his mind would break if his allies started dying due to his decisions.
- Alert: Tactics [D] Lvl 1 has activated, all options will result in death. No actions available. -
Unable to land even one hit, even using skills became extremely dangerous. Even if he killed tens of them he would die for sure during the few seconds his body suffered from skill cool down.
Using overdrive gave the same problem, not unless he could kill everything before his tanks ran empty, he would die immediately after.
Hiro quickly looked for a wall and positioned himself in front of it. With the wall behind him, his back could remain protected at least. Despite his brain working overtime his INT stat failed to think of a way to survive.
- Alert: Insanity [E] Lvl 2 has suppressed the fear response of the host's autonomic nervous system -
Trying to not think of the worse outcome his stress started to manifest in other ways. The man's blood pressure started to rise and his heartbeats rang out like a loud drum in his ears.
Frustration started to lambast his stupidity and cry out to Rilu for help. Yet due to extreme terror, his voice refused to come out. Despair only reared its head when gave up. And right now Hiro was extremely close to accepting that he would die in this place.
Hiro could no longer hear Rilu, thus he felt isolated and alone. The lack of light gave him sensory deprivation. While he could see due to [Cat's Eyes] the lack of color unsettled him. Like a bad B-rank horror movie his sweat turned cold.
Deep within, he believed he would amount to nothing. His insecurities bit at his heels every time he suffered a setback. He talked a big game but he grew weary. This month of constant desperation took its toll.
His mentality to endure grew close to the point of breaking. Aside from his wives, this entire experience became like a nightmare he never awoke from. Knowing when one would die hits people differently.
Others grew courageous since they thought they would be immortal till the day arrived. Normal people like Hiro grew anxious and counted the seconds to the said date.
Why did this world constantly make things difficult for him? From his binding to the threat that followed from Starfall. Just what did he do to deserve such a fate? He didn't even ask to come here!

Even if the system itself wanted to assist him it couldn't that's how unwinnable this fight became, his body started to quickly calm down in silence as certain death loomed. The transmigrator remembered why he was here.
