"should i use my blessing... no, he will attack me when i do that.." Shanti tried to gain her focus

"well, if you don't want to take my offer... then, let's continue. Shall we?"

-whuuss-

-traang-

Several arrows continued coming at her and she blocked all of it. Arshon gave this big smile.

"sorry, seems my soldiers don't want to wait" He shrugged his shoulder

"-fuuh- remember what sir Yana said"

She recalled when they discussed about their plan at the inn.

"remember Shanti. Your first role is to lure those soldiers as many as you can. Hmm..., try to use that elves corpse as the bait"

"should i kill all of them? or i only need to buy time for you and Ragha?"

"good question Shanti. Try not to kill them, tho with your current ability, that would be almost impossible"

"I'm sorry sir Yana"

"no ,no. That's not what i mean Shanti. In fact, a situation like that need an overwhelming power to accomplish that. Which i believe, that's rarely happened"

"i see. Can i get your advice sir Yana? when i must fight with them?"

"of course. First, make sure they surround you and make their formation"

"surround?? shouldn't i take them one by one while running?"

"and what will they do? if you do that?"

"..keep chasing me?"

"why would they do that?"

"because I'm their enemy?"

"hmm, Shanti.. you still use this enemy or ally concept.."

"i...forgive me"

"-fuuh- listen, if there's an enemy that run towards wapeer territory while taking down their men one by one... what would you do in that situation?"

"... I'll regroup.. and wait for reinforcement.." She answered

"see? regardless they know you want to lure them, but if the situation is not in their favor then.... they will lose their reason to keep chasing you"

"reason... intention... I'll remember that sir Yana"

"good. Then, you have two options when they're surrounding you. First, take whoever approach you or in your attack's range. Beware of their projectiles and their leader support"

"understood"

"second, you will fight one on one with their leader. In that case, you should finish him as fast as you can"

"so.. i need to kill their leader?"

"if you think you can win without doing it then it's okay. But i don't think their leader level would be far below you Shanti. At least, their battle experience obviously will be better than you"

"I'll remember that sir Yana"

"you will be fine.. as long you don't allow your emotion blurred your decision"

"i believe i don't have any emotions towards those humans sir Yana"

"hmm, you'll see. Whatever you think or feel, it can easily change by the condition. Just always remember, what is your purpose and you will be fine" He patted her head

"leave it to me sir Yana"

"ah, one more thing. Let me tell you how to maximize your ROGNIR'S CALL blessing"

-----++-----

-ctass-

-whuuss-

Arshon's attack and those projectiles started to come at her. Now her right shoulder left unprotected, so she need to be careful.

"sir Yana is right... I'm almost let my emotion taking control of me..."

She dashed while evaded all the attacks. She slid and grabbed some stones in her palm.

[ROGNIR'S CALL I]

-whuuss-

-zraaash-

Arshon was really surprised. Some sharp objects shaped like a diamond were flying at him with an incredible speed. Fresh blood came out from his right arm and his face.

"what have you.."

He was late to respond with Shanti's movement in front of him, and she already pointed her knife at him. He smiled and didn't show any sign of fear.

-whuuss-

-zrrub-

One arrow landed on her right shoulder while the rest was blocked by her armor.

"ahahaha! what are doing monster?! do you forget about my soldiers? and.."

He jumped to the back in that moment and gave some distance with his enemy. But something strange was happened, his enemy still stood there while pointing her knife.

"what is she doing.. did my poison make her lost her mind?"

It happened less than two seconds, not even Arshon with his zone skill could react to that.

[ROGNIR'S CALL I]

All her armor disappeared and the white aura gathered in her knife. It took a weird shape that was never been seen by everyone in there. It had a grip but it's not a sword. A long barrel attached to the grip and had some trigger on it. It almost like a cannon, but the size was too small.

-fuuh- She took a breath and casted aside her doubt.

-blaar-

A very loud noise and blast impact could be felt by all of them. No one understood what was just happened.

"-kkgghh- what..." Arshon touched his chest

A hole was opened on his chest. Blood gushed from it and he fell to the ground.

-brugh-

"sir Arshon!!"

"archers!! keep firing!"

Shanti turned around and faced the remaining enemies in front of her. She pulled the arrow on her shoulder and use her blessing.

[MOTHER'S TEARS]

"we wont let you do that!!"

-dhaar-

A very big tremble come from the back row. Everyone looked at it and couldn't believe with their own eyes.

"human... you still dare to disturb us?"

That voice came from a three meters creature with black and blue scales covered its entire body. It had a long tail and very muscular arms and legs. All of its characteristic similar to a wapeer.

"men!! take a formation! it's a wapeer!!"
