They had just finished the demonstration when a white tiger walked of the shadows and towards them. Kiro cursed himself, while he was too busy calming that kid down, he got a little distracted.
While vibrations was passive, he still needed some level of concentration. It didn't make him omniscient, so of course some details were very capable of slipping through.
The tiger let out an ear piercing sound. Which prompted some of them to close off their ears, they didn't want to receive damage if it worked like Nikolai's whisper.
One thing that was great about the wars, there was no system to annoy them. The other news were bad though as they wouldn't know how strong a monster was.
Kiro didn't think that mattered, he didn't think there was anything in this forest that could contend with 5 guardians unless it was a harbinger, a much stronger harbinger.
'Fingers crossed.' He thought to himself.
The tiger was crouching down, it was wary of the intruders that were in his home. He had a pair of blue beautiful eyes that contended with Kiro's, with an entire body that was striped.
What was most peculiar about Chasing Madness was the fact that most of the 10 were priests. They were a small guild, that needed power. Jorge decided that power could be achieved with a strong foundation, which were priests.
So when the tiger appeared most of them were ordered, by Kiro, to take refuge under Ishaan's force field.
The force field had evolved a lot since the first time Kiro saw it in that cave, it could cover more people. Most importantly, Ishaan could cast it and have the freedom to go fight without worrying that it would dissipate.
"Great job Ishaan, men! Let's take this kitten down!" Kiro bellowed.
It was all of After Dark together with Jorge, Lyle, Kade and Brutus. The last one was a swordsman. Excluding Felix, which he was mad about. Kiro ordered him to be the lead healer.
The thing was hell of nimble and fast. More than Kiro thought possible. It seemed to be able to evade even him but slightly.
Kiro was both. Him and Kade were great help. Kade was hiding up a tree. He occasionally left his position to confuse the enemy, the tiger was smart enough to discover it otherwise.
Their attacks were landing in perfect sequence. Not all but most, the fact that tiger hadn't died proved how much mana and HP it had. Also injuring two of their members was quite the feat.
Kade did something that was similar to Isla, and shot a mana arrow, but it never exploded even on impact. Kiro figured this was his chance, along with lightning, he used bending kick that didn't even sever its head, though it broke its neck.
"Next time I want to fight!" Felix complained while the others were happy celebrating the victory.
"What about your priest duties? Felix, you're a priest first!" Kiro scolded him, not intending to even look at the loot, since they promised all of it to Chasing Madness.
"I think having 7 priests is absurd." He countered.
"Well you're the one with the most experience."
"So, I should suffer?"
Kiro sighed and looked to Hiro for help, but instead of doing that, he nodded to let him do what he wants.
"We have enough potions. And I've brought ingredients with me."
"Mighty thoughtful of you." Kiro was annoyed, he liked being healed while he fought. Drinking a potion would waste precious seconds in his eyes.
Little bugs started to swarm around them, Kiro remembered them as bug eyes. He quickly used lightning to burn them into a crisp, sure enough, it worked.
"What the hell was that about?" Lyle asked.
"We have company." All of After Dark were already in a fighting stance.
