Sera started to become very annoyed with the world. Whenever she and Bea went to continue what they started on that faithful night, something always comes up.
Throughout the few days before the operation they tried to have sex nearly a dozen times, but never managed to go further than kissing. It made both of them very frustrated and constantly horny.
They gave time to sword training, because both of them judged that more important then to finally have sex. Sera was improving surprisingly well, she wasn't nearly as good as Bea, but instead of losing within a couple seconds she could hold her ground for a minute at least.
The trainings were a special kind of torture. Watching each others sweaty bodies, sometimes pressing them to each other. They really had to hold back and not do it on the mat for everyone to see. The shower wasn't an option as well, they wanted their first time together to be more special.
After enduring it for a couple of days, they finally decided to wait until they move into the bunker. No matter how much they wanted it, the people's safety was priority for both of them.
The days went by like this and finally the day of the operation came. They met up at the police stations entrance. All seven of them were here. The guard roster has been changed accordingly, so they would be safe while all of them were increasing their power.
"Okay, is everyone fucking ready?" Asked Sera, she didn't try to hide the anger in her voice.
'Good, at least I can elevate my frustration with some killing.'
Lucy was about to make a snide remark when both Sera and Bea looked at her. She looked away with a pale face. There's going to be a lot of killing today, which was perfect for both of them.
"Yeah, lets get this over with." Answered Bea for everyone and none dared to disagree.
They went to a further sewer entrance and went in. The plan is, that they stay near the exit in case of a fast retreat. Lucy is going to alert the enemy, then they will establish a killing field in the best way possible and kill as many crustacean as they can.
'The plan is good, our powers complement each others, lets see how long we can hold out.'
They went into the sewer and Lucy was already off to find the enemy. In the meantime everyone took their positions. At first, they will only come from one direction so it will be easier, but once they appear from the other side, it will become significantly harder to hold out.
The setup for the first phase is, Bea in the front with Will, Sera and Lucy are the most mobile out of the seven, so their position is where they are needed, Killshot is in the back using explosive rounds to bombard the enemy, Clockwork and Witchdoctor will take down the stragglers, while she will be debuffing the enemy.
The second phase will be a bit more tricky, so they made multiple possible combinations depanding on the situation.
'This is as good as it will get.'
Suddenly Lucy came out of the bend at the end of the corridor.
'So it begins.'
"Everyone get ready, they are right on my tail."
And how right she was. There at the end, the ugly crustaceans came their way. As they were approaching the positioncof the team, explosions broke their tide's momentum and so they were quite slow as they reached them. The first couple were taken care of by Bea and Will with ease.
The beasts couldn't even walk straight because of Witchdoctor's power. And after a minute, Sera and Lucy had to join in on the fun as well. That's when the true massacre started.
"You have killed a Devouror, a Tainted of the 1st Tier! Your Soul is Nourished! You have killed..." It continued on endlessly.
'Fuck, I should have turned it off beforehand, now I have to listen to this the whole way through!'
They weren't really using their abilities to kill them. They tried to hold onto their Essence as long as possible, but as time went on the situation started to become worse and worse. In the end Bea and Will had to start using their powers, while Sera and Lucy were fighting in their transformed form.
After the battle against Deathbringer, Sera discovered a limitation to her wings. The more enemy it affects, the weaker its power. Even though she tried to use it, the crustaceans didn't really care, so she truned it off.
'If they are controlled by some Horror as we think, then it wouldn't do shit against them anyway.'
The trainings done wonders to her battle prowess, and the mastery she achieved with Clear Mind made it possible to always be at a place where she was needed.
'I feel like I'm nearing the limit of Clear Mind, but I still haven't used it at its full power. I should start thinking about the next Heratige at some point.'
She used her glaive to cut through multiple monsters, then immediately went into the air to the left and killed a couple on the ceiling. Meanwhile Bea was using her ability tactically, to hold back some enemies by breaking up their momentum further.
Will was doing his share as well, he increased the water pressure on the enemies side, slowing them down. Lucy was flying between them, causing mayhem wherever she went.
Killshot was using normal bullets since his Essence wasn't infinite. Witchdoctor and Clockwork used the weapons they borrowed from the regulars. The Life Essence absorbtion didn't care how you killed your enemy, if you made the killing blow you get the Essence.
It was all going really well until Sera noticed movement way further behind them.
'It was good while it lasted.'
She killed three more monsters with one swing, then called out to the others.
