Two weeks after everybody in Alan's group entered the demon Field.
Mi Sang Hee POV
The scenery of humans stuck in spruce, grotesque mutated animals, brainless demons attacking without any care. It is slowly getting annoying.
"Do you really think the boys are flexing their power and stamina to woo one of us?"
'Ah, right, we are talking again about this'
I don't hate it, it is simply irritating since I am the reason they do this. I don't know what I feel for Alan, and I don't know when or how I will understand these feelings I have for him.
It can be... love, but if it is love... I would never tell him that. Although we all are supporting each other and help to process the trauma, it doesn't change the fact of his angry face at me being created to become the successor of the death lord.
Likewise, is he hiding something from me, despite telling me to trust him. We both would just hurt each other, moreover right now isn't the right time to date.
'Kim Yong has some kind of plan, but how can I beat his shadow, which easily overwhelmed me?'
The picture of his shadow stretching far and wide, covering the entire building. Whereas my shadow retreated so he can't enter my real shadow and take over my body.
In a fight against Kim Yong, I will lose, and if he is sacrificing himself.
'It will spell the disaster in the Nexus and the entire world'
"-Mi Sang Hee is again caught up in her simulations of fighting someone"
Hela her voice entered my ears, surprised that she is already here. Thus, I observe the surroundings and see all monsters killed again.
"Did you kill all of them already?"
"Of course"
I wondered about it, and as always, Hela answers with so much confidence that I want to punch her gorgeous face. She sits down next to me, breathing a bit quicker than normally.
"Harder than expected to do this for two weeks straight"
Hela confessed as she lets herself fall on her back, closing her eyes for a few seconds. Her body is something you can only wish to have, she just lays there, and it seems like a scene straight out of a movie.
'It is even more illogical that Kim Yong never falls in love with her'
Kim Yong's past is guarded by the grandpa of Hela, who shuts down any request to find out about his past. Hela her hands are trembling a bit, her legs twitch from time to time.
"Hela aren't you too hard on yourself?"
In the last week, we all pushed our limits countless times. As a result, we all are in the higher realm of D rank.
... This is not enough, I think everybody here thinks the same. The display of power Kim Yong showed at the banquet was... monstrous, inhumane, as well as mysterious.
"Rica, let's be real, what are our chances at beating Kim Yong?"
I question myself if we even can beat him now, it is unsatisfying to know you can't help the one who created this place for us to come back.
Rica, sitting opposite of me, is glancing at me with suspicion. She summons a small wooden table in the centre between us, her mana flows through the table. Out of the board come into existence more wood, forming an individual clad in shadows as well as 8 people with our elements surrounding him.
"If we speak about our chances against him in a 1 versus 1, then there isn't a chance one of us can win against him. However"
The surrounding wooden people attack the individual clad in shadow together, pushing him even further back and eventually defeating him.
"We can win if we work together like we did here. He isn't unstoppable, we can still beat him."
Violett sitting opposite Hela, and next to Rica, while Nadine sits to my right or Rica her left. No one spoke, the silence slowly caused me to doubt our possibility against Kim Yong.
"Hey girls, we need to switch"
Ben barely got these words out of his mouth without panting heavily. He, along with the two other, are covered in blood with various colours.
"We will take the next two hordes"
I spoke with confidence that we can take them on. Rica, Nadine, Violett, and me are the perfect team to such hordes.
Violett and I can take on the front, as well as Nadine from time to time. Rica is our Mage in the back, eliminating most of the monster with Nadine, when she isn't helping us by the fight at the front.
'Now concentrate yourself on the crisis you are facing in any minute'
Rica POV
We now stand on the huge field with various stuff that can kill us if we breathe wrong. My senses are heightened with mana, my mana sense spread over a range of 2 hundred metres.
'I really wish we had such a high chance against Kim Yong, as I tried to show them'
He is at most already C- rank, moreover he and Alan can both transform into huge phoenixes. Kim Yong will win against Alan, if they fight right now to the death.
Coupled with Kim Yong, fighting like a veteran, Alan would suffer a crushing defeat against him.
The 2 Bens are in the same boat. If the 3 of them fight him, then it can be equal. Moreover, if we are thrown in the equation, it could be close.
... If he doesn't grow any stronger than the last time we fought. Although this is impossible, I can still hope.
'How can I plan it, when the only thing I know is that they will attack?'
I feel so powerless right now, I can do nothing but watch and speculate what every side has planned.
'I put all my attention on this horde now or else I end up like Hela'
Nadine POV
'What kind of shit show this has become'
We all don't believe we can stop Kim Yong, yet we train like idiots to at least fight him as equals.
The new hordes are heading towards us. I am already pissed by the constant flies surrounding me.
However, the constant fear of Kim Yong dying, and an anchor of my life vanishing.
... It feels suffocating to do nothing, as well as it feels hopeless to even try to get stronger.
"I need to let out some more frustration with´these monster hordes"
I muttered under my breath, meanwhile the screeching and roaring demons as well as monsters vibrate through the air.
"Kina come out and rip them to shreds"
Kina emerges out of my summoner circle, roaring towards the incoming monsters. The demons are at the front, ready to pounce on me and eat me.
"Come, you god-damn monsters!"
I leap towards the demon, stepping on his head and jumping from it to the sky.
"Fire lance"
The fire starts to increase in size in my hand, as I see five demons trying to attack me with spears.
"ROAR!"
Kina clad in lightning armour dashes through the demons, leaving a trail of bodies behind her.
I inscribed the rune of the sun on my fire lance, making it burn so hot that my skin gets burned.
Throwing it towards The incoming spears, all of it took less than five seconds to complete.
Different from expected, it crushed the spears and burns through 20 demons.
"AH, this is a wonderful feeling!"
Violett POV
I feel three enemies behind me, two are targeting my liver at the same. I twist my body to the side so they barely miss my side entirely.
Furthermore, I coated my rapier in Aura and stab the two targeting my liver. The breath of the third, and the feeling on my skin, tells me he aims for my heart.
I leap back, surprising the Demon in his judgement. I turn my body ninety degrees to pierce through his heart.
[Skill: light strike has been activated]
Light gathered at the tip of my rapier, upon contact with the demon it pierced 10 more creatures behind it.
'I need to make it even more efficient'
I dash towards the next group of enemies, fire arrows together with razor sharp teeth emerge in my vision.
'This isn't enough to protect everyone and stop these nightmares'
I stomp my foot on the ground, forcefully stopping my accelerated body. Thus, the pain of it shoots through my body, but I ignored it and channel my Aura to manifest an Aura ball with lightning crackling in it.
'I need to defeat any enemy coming for my friends'
I shoot it towards the front of me, it leaves my hand and crosses paths with new fire arrows. As a result, I was pushed back a bit.
'Even if it is Kim Yong, or someone from the creation god'
Two new Aura balls with lightning in them leave my hand, shooting to the front. Propelling me even faster back, as I got close to crash in the monsters behind me.
[Skill: light strike has been activated]
[Skill: Pierce has been activated]
I channel my Aura and took out Aura infused materials, forming more rapiers. My skill affected any rapier infused with my Aura, Therefore consuming more of my Aura, making it even more daring to do such a risky move.
The Light blinded me for a second, my body still flies with high speed through the enemies. However, the blinding light illuminated my entire vision, causing me to be temporarily blind.
'I will save him if I am able to do so... but if he dares to attack anyone of my friends... I need to kill him'
