Chapter 8 - The Fight: Part Two

POV: Mana

After going with the plan and releasing my mana that was holding the swords in the air I got ready to use the auto crossbow that I made her, which she put on her shoulder for me to use, while she uses the semi-auto crossbows attached to her wrists. I wonder If I should tell her later that I only know how to make these things because of my race and the fact that racial abilities come with the knowledge on how to use them. Eh maybe later.

"You little sh*t! Get over here!" Yells a hunter that emerged from a bush close by, to which I respond by aiming the auto-crossbow at him and unloading seven bolts in him.

'Is it okay if I call my crossbow the Ace and yours the Doubles?' I ask Qi while shooting more bolts at the hunters that appear in her blind spots.

"Sure." She whispers while being obviously distracted.

After she said that I feel a weakened presence but it had a high amount of aura, once I realized that it was coming towards us the system gave me a notification.

[WARNING: PEAK B RANKED AURA USER COMING, RECOMMENDING TO HOST TO RUN AND LEAVE THAT YOUNG WOMAN AS THAT BEING CAN SENSE YOU AND CAN KILL YOU USING HER AURA ONLY. SHE DOEN'T NEED THE SPRITS TO CONTROL ELEMENTS BUT WILL NEED THEM TO SUMMON THE ELEMENTS.] The system warns me while giving some frighting info to me.

'Oh no.' I say out loud with a voice that has slight fear in it.

"What?" Qi asks while putting one more bolt into a half dead hunter.

'Oh nothing just a very strong aura user is coming towards us and I now recommend that we run.' I hurriedly tell her.

"What! If I'm right then the strongest of the hunters is coming, we need to go right now. Mana I want you to hide my by using a trident or something to hold some shrubbery to do it. Just make sure he can't follow us." She tells me while getting ready to run.

'No wait if we run he can easily catch up, remember he is a hunter. If I didn't help you when you were injured you would have been found in like an hour with the distance you put and the time it takes to track someone.' I say in a mad tone.

'From how far he is and how slow he is moving we can make enough traps and the like to defeat him. Okay what I want you to do is go over there and I will make you armor with weapons attached.' I tell her while shooting a bolt at a small clearing.

Once she moved there I made her armor made of a bunch of shaped shields since my rank only allows weapons with the exception of shields. After that I made a short wall made off shields which had a mounted auto turret. After doing that and making sure that the wall was facing the direction of the hunter I made more auto turrets on her shoulders which just like earlier are being held up by my mana to not affect her weight. For the final preparations I made a bunch of enhanced spears small enough to be used as bolts for all of our Aces.

'"We got this."' We both say at the same time with a voice filled with confidence.
