'Are you sure you need this?' Wain asked while looking at Crystal.
'Absolutely. This energy will suit me perfectly... Just do it.' Cursed Swordsman uttered in a serious voice.
'Huh, that's easy for you to say... I should have just destroyed the Crystal, but you're offering to absorb it. Damn, you couldn't have warned me?' Wain resented while shaking his head.
'Stop whining. All they need is to get rid of Crystal, in what way you haven't discussed.' Cursed Swordsman smirked.
Tap.
Teresa touched Wain's shoulder and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. What's our plan?" Wain asked as he turned to Skyla.
"Everything is as agreed. Nina, along with everyone else, will attack the enemies that are near the base." Skyla mouthed as she looked at Wain, Fosko, and Teresa, "The four of us will take on Crystal, but be careful. Twilight Embers will engage near their base so they'll attract monsters to the battle, which will help them get rid of us."
"Okay, I think it's time for action. Just pick your opponents according to your strength, and everyone stays in one piece." Fosko said in a careless manner before rushing forward.
Skyla, Wain, and Teresa silently followed them while Nina decided to wait a bit before giving the order to advance.
Hundreds of monsters with predatory looks stared at the Green Cats as if at their victims, but they did not attack immediately. All monsters in the third level of Granite Caverns were at least in the Third Chronicle, so they possessed fairly high intelligence and knew when the best moment would be.
"What an unpleasant feeling..." Teresa muttered while hopping from one stone ledge to another, "They're looking at us like we're breakfast."
"Huh, well, I know someone who could literally roast them and eat them, not even a bone left." Wain grinned as he looked at the monsters below and released his aura.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Most of the monsters flinched in fear as they ran away from him, but some of the monsters that were in the Fourth Chronicle remained in place, and only devious grins appeared on their faces.
"Huh, this is going to be fun, hurry up, I can't wait to get started!" Fosko exclaimed as a green magic circle appeared behind him, from which he bounced to speed up several times.
p
Whoooooosh.
Skyla turned into a yellow beam and, with Fosko, attacked the barrier around the Twilight Embers base.
A wave of energy went through the blue barrier, but the barrier withstood it, as hundreds of people constantly poured energy into the barrier and used various skills.
"Tsk, the barrier was stronger than I thought." Skyla frowned as she jumped back.
"Damn, those sneaky bastards. If we can't break through to their base, when Nina comes the monsters will attack us... It'll be a bloodbath while Twilight Embers will just watch us fight." Fosko said with an angry look.
"Huh, looks like you couldn't have done it without us!" Wain exclaimed as a golden flash flew between Skyla and Fosko that as though a comet was headed for the barrier.
Tremble.
Waves of energy passed through the barrier that made it wobble while more and more cracks appeared near the exact impact like on the glass.
"Restore the barrier! Now!" Someone shouted from the Twilight Embers base.
At his order, dozens of people directed their energy to the damage while Wain tried to break through the barrier.
'Shit... It was harder than I thought, maybe use Ether for now?' Wain muttered inwardly with a confused look.
'No, it's not necessary yet. You're not alone now.' Gladius uttered in a calm voice.
"Nameless, go on, I will help you." Teresa exclaimed as a silver rapier appeared in her hand.
"Well, show me what you've accomplished." Wain smirked before releasing more energy.
"Oh, don't worry, you won't be disappointed. You may be the strongest, but you're not the only one with power." Teresa uttered, jumping up as her eyes flashed with a white plume that covered the blade of her rapier.
Teresa swung her rapier in an X-shaped as a white energy cross collapsed onto the barrier.
"Just what you need." Wain muttered as the barrier shattered into small pieces.
Whooooosh.
The angry Twilight Embers members immediately targeted Teresa, but before that hail of attacks could reach her, a golden ray appeared in front of Teresa and carried her away.
Crackle.
Shells rained down on the granite walls, so vast the caverns shook as the stalactites tumbled down.
"Looks like you took them out of their minds." Wain said as he lowered Teresa to the ground.
"Yeah. What do you think of my skill? I made it up myself!" Teresa exclaimed with a proud look.
"Not bad, pretty simple, but effective, I like it." Wain nodded in an approving manner, "Maybe, it's about time I did my own skills, too."
"Hmm? Haven't you created any skills yet?" Teresa uttered while in disbelief.
"Exactly. I have my plans for this, so I need to be patient. Okay, this isn't the best place to talk. Let's go." Wain said, canceling his form and running toward Crystal.
"Sure." Teresa nodded as Skyla with Fosko appeared beside her.
"You're good. You have a pretty unique ability, that was light, right?" Skyla asked while patting Teresa on the shoulder.
"That it."
"Hey, so you're an Elf? With the dark hair? How interesting, let me check it out." Fosko smirked as he touched Teresa's hair that hid her ear.
"Don't you dare touch!" Teresa exclaimed as she slapped Fosko's arm.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say. I'll find out soon enough anyway." Fosko took a step back with an apologetic look, but a slight smile gave him away.
"That's enough. We have a more important mission than finding out what kind of ears Nameless or she has." Skyla said with a serious look as she headed toward Crystal.
"Well, you're right." Fosko muttered before following her.
