"full physical enchantment at front line, projectiles and range attack at back line! don't even lower your guard even for one second!!" Arshon shouted

"yes sir!"

[EMPOWERED]

[ZONE I]

[ANTI DECEPTION]

[BULLSEYE]

[AIR BOOST I]

They activated their skill and prepared to attack. Shanti remembered with what Yana said at the inn.

"your enemy will use all of their skill to kill you without a doubt. I'm really sure that they don't really care about capturing you alive Shanti.. if your enemy less than twenty soldiers, then you will be okay without using beast mode. But if your enemy more than that.."

"Then use all of your skill...." Shanti mumbled

"charge!!"

This time, only three soldiers came at her, but the other three stand by at the back row. The archers and Arshon also focused and looked for opportunity to support the front line.

She sharpened her focus and arranged her next move in her mind.

-dhaar-

She dashed and intercepted the soldier movement in front of him. One direct stab aimed at his neck.

-traang-

He managed to block it, tho he lost his balance because of it. Shanti used that chance to deliver another attack, yet several arrows came at her direction.

-whuuss-

She ducked and flipped to dodge those projectiles. Just when she landed and her feet touched the ground, Arshon's whip made a hissing sound.

-ctass-

She swiftly evaded that one too. The soldiers didn't waste that chance and pushed their attack. Two stab attacks and two slash attacks was coming at her.

She knew that blocking all of these attack would stop her movement and made another chance for them to counter it. Stop was not an option.

She turned around really fast and dashed towards Arshon direction. She ducked again and launched the attack from very low angle with both of her knife and claw.

-dhaar-

-zraaash-

Two soldiers legs received her attack and made them unable to stand.

"if possible, try to defeat the leader first..." She repeated Yana's words

She jumped and lunged at him with full speed. She also used her blessing.

[FIRE BLESSING II]

Her knife glowed with red aura. Arshon observed the situation and thought about his next move to counter Shanti.

"let's see if you can move in the mid air like that"

-ctass-

Like splitting the air, his whip made an air pressure on her face.

"got you now mons..."

Something strange happened. Instead hurting his enemy, his whip was cut and flew in the air before it finally dropped on the ground.

That unexpected event made him distracted for one second and he couldn't react at Shanti full speed attack.

-zraaash-

His right hand that was used to block the attack was letting out fresh blood and burn wound on its surface.

-kkgghh-

He took few steps to the back to get out from archers range attack.

-whuuss-

-blaar-

Arrows and fireball always came whenever she showed some opportunity. She jumped to the left to dodge the incoming projectiles.

-dhaar-

All of them missed their target.

[HEAL II]

Arshon used his skill to close the wound on his right hand. The rest of the soldiers already surrounded Shanti and gave him time to recover.

"so this is why sir Yana said i need to use all of my skill"

She had to fight all of these thirty one enemies by herself. Even she could handle all of their attack, their number was totally a threat.

Arshon threw his whip and wore his gauntlet again. He repositioned himself and used his skill.

[EMPOWERED III]

[WIND STEPPER II]

"this will become harder from now on monster" He smiled

Shanti decide to ignore his words and kept focused at her enemies. They attacked her with their formation. As expected from soldiers, once their leader gave order, they would be coordinated and followed that order.

From one stab into another, one arrow into another, she could dodge every attack that was launched by her enemies. Until five minutes passed, something unexpected happened.

-zraaash-

One of soldier attack landed on her left shoulder. Fresh blood started to flow from the wound. Shanti suprised and stopped for a moment to see her shoulder.

"open the way!!" Arshon shouted

He dashed really fast and directly aimed at Shanti direction.

-dhaar-

"hahaha! got you now!"

He gripped his fist until his muscle became harder and vein started to visible on it. He used all his power into this attack.

-buugh-

A very loud noise came from the impact. Poor Shanti flew for quite far caused by Arshon's full power punch at her torso. Her one little miss gave this opportunity for him.

-brugh-

She landed on the ground with her back. She totally could fell the pain. This was the first time for her to receive some damage from her enemy.

"-kkgghh- how..." She realized something

A little scuffed wound on her right arm started to become darker. This was the wound when she cut Arshon's whip with her knife.

"so, his attack reached me...that whip was imbued with some kind of poison?"

"impressive! so you already realize it monster! tho it's really suprised me because that poison need more than five minutes to take effect"

Shanti stood and gripped her knife. She used her blessing to heal her wound.

[MOTHER'S TEARS]

Beast mode was improved their physical ability by raising their blood pressure and adrenaline. That's why she could realize sooner about the poison and gave opportunity for Arshon to attack her.

"healing skill? that's really troublesome... but it's okay" He brought his whip at his hand again

"we still have some energy left"
