Support

By the time that Pixel had travelled from one location to another, each of the Minks that belonged to her group had begun to take a more offensive role in the battle that was ongoing.

Harley and old Swifty had both taken out their swords which had Electro surrounding them.

Their bodies moves quickly to close the distance between themselves and the Mink that was fighting the shadow guard.

It was the location that required the most immediate support so even if they did not feel fully confident in being able to change the overall outcome, they could help out a little.

Old Swifty had let out a tired sigh as his sword had passed by the Mink, the Mink that was disguised had narrowly avoided his attack by adjusting their body in the middle of the battle with the shadow guard. "So stubborn."

Harley had followed up with a shallow cut from the other side which had drawn some blood from the waist area of the Mink. "Phew. Keep it up.

They worked together well since they were familiar with their swordsmanship and fighting habits which allowed them to coordinate their attacks.

Even if the Mink was experienced enough in combat and agile enough to avoid one or both attacks, they would still be left with some form of wound.

The Mink had their attention split between not just two Minks but three so they started to struggle.

The shadow guard was just as well trained in combat to hold up against the other Mink then there was Harley who was still not fully matured and old Swifty who was much older so his power and speed was not like those who were at the peak of their physical capabilities or age range.

It did not stop them from making some kind of impact on the battle and the Mink that was fighting against three Minks had been put under a greater amount of pressure.

The shadow guard's burden seemed to have lessened when they did not have to worry so much about outsiders interfering in the battle.

The sounds of swords clashing, screams of pain and loud crashing noises had followed in different directions as the battle had become more intense.

Clash!

Clang!

Whoosh!

"Argh!"

"Damn it!"

The complaints and cries increased from the side of the humans when Misty and Liquorice had joined in on the battle.

They may not have been skilled sword masters like Harley or old Swifty but both of them had their own advantages that had been worked on over the years.

Each of them had some confidence in themselves to be able to support Pixel and they did not fear the challenge in front of them.

They looked towards Harley who went ahead and sighed with regret due to them wanting to be the ones to fight an adult Mink.

Liquorice turned her head towards the clashing between the four Minks then turned back towards the other humans near her. "Tsk.."

Misty had taken one look towards Liquorice before running away towards a nearby building. "I will leave this to you."

"Where is the support?"

"Hey? What do we do now?"

"Wait wait wait wait!"

Each person had panicked as Liquorice had gotten closer to them.

She may not have been as fast as Pixel but she had been able to get close to them in a short time with the aid of the Electro that surrounded her body.

Her large fleece was covered with Electro sparks and she had avoided a knife that was thrown in her direction.

A group of three had been her target and among them were three men that had ordinary looking knives and swords.

In an attempt to slow her down during her approach, to harm or distract her for long enough, one had risked throwing away their knife.

It was something that had delayed their defeat and they had known what the outcome would be if Liquorice had been allowed to close the distance.

Without their support from the side, they did not have the confidence to take on a Mink.

They were silently hoping for that support to come but there were screams nearby which had came from high up on a nearby building.

There were claw marks that seemed to have pierced into the wall that had assisted in Misty climbing up high before she had made her way towards the first person that seemed to be providing cover for the others from a high place.

Her long claws had been used to slash the person that had taken aim towards Liquorice that was down below then her eyes turned towards another direction where there was a figure flickering between different places from lower on the ground and higher up. 'Even now she is having fun. I need to do better if I can be of any help to her.'

Misty ran as the Electro gathered around her legs then she leapt to another building where she began another quickly ended battle.

Meanwhile on the ground, Liquorice had evaded a swing of a sword after she had narrowly avoided the knife.

She positioned her body out of their reach then move around to find an opening then she had leapt forward.

Her body charged forward and her shoulder had crashed into the body of the swordsman. "Gu..ahh!"

Her feet kept pushing her forward and the angle that she was running at had set her on a collision course with the others she was fighting.

One person was pushed into another then those were pushed onto another which had caused all three of them to be in contact with each other.

The Electro that surrounded and collected within the fleece of Liquorice had spread in a large amount to each of them who had been connected to her and were tackled by her.

"Aah!"

"Huaa!"

All three of them were taken down in a single attack from Liqorice due to her use of Electro that was her specialty that had been taught by Duke Baan personally.

Misty had provided extra cover and made use of her own advantages in climbing to handle some other areas that others could not reach so easily.

Harley and Old Swifty were helping to wear down the single Mink while Pixel played the biggest role in removing any potential dangers that were lurking around.
