'That call is really well-timed. I missed...' Gin mused inwardly, knowing the mistake he made.
His arrow was supposed to hit Seven's heart but it missed its direction when Six called. Although it was an accidental mistake, Gin shrugged it off onto his mind as he knew opportunity will show in the future.
Gin quickly picks his bow up and swiftly moves out from his position, which is not too far from the group. In this way, he could continue using his sync to protect them from the two visitors.
"You can attack now!" Gin shouted before closing his mouth instantly.
Gin made the call loudly, for them to know that he was there but he wasn't planning on going out to fight together, as he doesn't want to expose himself now.
"..."
Hearing the shout, the group quickly runs towards Seven, who remained shocked when the arrow hits his shoulder.
Whoosh!
Nash, with his insane speed, is now in front of Seven with his sword up as he is ready himself to finish it instantly.
Whoosh!
His new sword that has a sharp blade, turned red as he raised it in the air and began to slash it towards Seven but failed to do so, when a shield stopped him at the same time, protecting Seven.
Clang!
Nash quickly stepped back after he failed as he watch Six protect Seven from his slash, using his silver shield to do it.
Six didn't waste time as he grab Six's shirt and pull him away from the group, with his shield ready.
Tak!
Seeing it, Nash reposition his grip on his hand and proceed to run once again. He knew that he couldn't kill Seven if Six was there.
Therefore, killing Six first was the better option.
Whoosh!
Nash started to close the distance and activated his fire element to the fullest, going through Six's blind spot and starting his slashes with it.
Swoosh!
Nash swings his sword in a smooth way like he was dancing but with a big body and durable shield, Six deflected it all nicely.
Slash!
But it doesn't mean he's not taking damage.
"Blazing Fire!"
"Heal of the Light!"
As Nash continued to slash his blind spot, Six could see the mage throwing fire spells at him when it became his new blind spot.
Whoosh!
Another thing Six saw was Laura giving buffs at Nash, preventing him to catch Nash and inflict a heavy injury.
Whoosh!
Nash was about to use his sword to do another slash when all of a sudden, he stepped a crack that is formed on the ground, making him stumble.
Thud!
Seeing Nash make a rookie mistake, Six swiftly bring moves as he wouldn't let the chance slip. He raised his shield up, aiming it towards Nash's head.
Whoosh!
Nash's eyes became wide open as he saw the tip of the shield moving towards him. He quickly gets up from his place but he knew that he would receive damage from it.
'Shit...!'
He raised his hands up to at least deflect it but he stopped, when he saw another big guy appearing which also had a shield on his hand.
Kwang!
That shield protected him.
Clang!
Grey, who placed himself in front of Nash, stayed in his place as the shield from Six was still there, continuing to bring his shield down.
Grey was on the losing side as he continuously budge, little by little. He knew that Six was much stronger, slowly making him shrink back.
Clang!
Yet, Grey remained strong from the place as he knew this was the moment he had been waiting for, thus he needed to hold his shield up for Nash.
Whoosh!
It was then Jia jumps from Grey's back with her axe raised up, surprising Six from it but he was so focused that he quickly retrieve his shield, and used it to deflect Jia's axe.
Kwang!
"Stand up, Nash! His feet are unguarded! Injure it!" Jasmin shouted, making Nash move swiftly.
Swoosh!
Nash quickly get his sword that had fallen and moved towards Jasmin's orders.
Whoosh!
Hearing the shout, Six quickly moved and use his shield to blast Jia away before placing his shield at the front.
Clang!
Sword and shield collided but Six didn't idle around as used his big hand to punch Nash to the side.
Boom!
But, as Six punched towards Nash's direction, a shield had appeared and prevented him from damaging Nash.
Grey, who defended Nash once again, looked at Seven with a serious face. He was glad that he was there at the right moment.
Whoosh!
Nash fixed his grip and tried to go at the other side to hit injured Seven but with Six in there, he quickly gets out with Seven being held by him.
Whoosh!
Seeing him getting away, everyone started to move by running at him and salvo Six with attacks.
Boom!
They tried to produce deadly damage to Six but they just can't. With an armor that seems good for projectile and magic attacks and a shield for frontal, it only inflicts cuts and bruises but that's all.
Whoosh!
Realizing that Six is only waiting for them to be exhausted, the group one by one step back to take a moment of a breather.
'...'
Seeing that they noticed his little plan, Six also moved back to do the same thing as he didn't even mind the injuries he acquire from the group.
He was focused on how amazed he is before he thought a quick analysis from his head.
'All of them are coordinated at each other well.' Six mused inwardly, 'They even knew when to go in and out. Even though they're rookies, it's impossible for their moves to flow naturally when they're only a team for a week. And...'
Six wiped the blood on his mouth while he looks at the crowd, before continuing, 'And, that archer is good too. Is that their other guy? But, the guy Seven killed only mentioned six people. Sigh, I don't really know what is happening...'
Whoosh!
His thoughts were only stopped when he saw the group start to run towards him again. Their faces were all serious.
Seeing them running, Six readies himself and decided to confront them at first before going back to Seven.
With his shield at the front, Six runs started to run really fast and do his another plan. He readies his shield and thought he had to use it carefully.
Whoosh!
But as the group closes their distance at Six, they only took a glance at him before passing him by. They avoided him.
'Eh?'
Six saw their eyes weren't concentrated on him but the man on his back. At the front of his sight, he also saw Jasmin smiling at him which shocked and surprised him.
'Shit!' Six cursed inwardly before turning around.
As he turned, Six could still see Seven struggled removing the arrow on his shoulder and was heedless about Nash, Jia, grey, and Kisha running towards him.
Six also noticed that he was far away from Seven at that running.
'Those smart ass bastards!' Six cursed inwardly before he began to bend his knees low before jumping really high towards Seven's position.
Swoosh!
As he flew towards the air, Six fix his shield into an attack position to see if he is lucky to land and kill someone after he falls to the ground.
Whoosh!
Watching where Six is falling, Jasmin gave out another order, "Fall back!"
Whoosh!
Hearing the shout on their backs, the four who are running instantly stop and quickly fall back to their supposed attack on Seven.
Boom!
As soon as they retreat, a booming sound was heard from the back with their attention diverted towards it.
Whoosh!
They saw clouds of dust scattered from where Seven is staying. As the dust slowly disappeared, Six revealed himself in it and give a death glare at the group.
Whoosh!
With the smokes completely disappearing, the ground on where Six had landed formed cracks. He wiped the dust on his clothes as he looked at the person he was protecting a while ago.
"Seven. Change of plans. No more kidnapping." Six said as he readies his shield again.
"I know, Six." Seven answered as he finally removed the arrow from his shoulder, before he continued, "Let's just kill all these bitches."
Six smiles upon hearing the answer before he laughs loudly, "Hahaha! The situation has been revised now, huh. After we do that, we could kill all the newbies next."
Six used his big hands to help Seven stand up, still on guard throughout the talk he had with Seven.
"I was supposed to say that, Seven." Seven answered as he properly position himself, "Hehe, let's—"
Whoosh!
It was then he was interrupted by the arrow that is coming fast towards him. It just suddenly come out from the crowd.
Whoosh!
Seeing it, Six swiftly moved to match the arrow's direction and used his shield to defend Seven.
Kwang!
After the arrow hit the shield, Seven looked at it annoyingly as he began to look at the crowd once more.
'This bastard… we're talking here, you know!' Seven complained inwardly before he could see the rookies start to run again in their direction.
Whoosh!
After the arrow has been shot, the four thought that it was a sign to also move with Gin telling them to continue.
Tak!
Seeing them running, Six waited patiently as his face remained serious with him hiding his inner thoughts inside, 'Hehe, come here and get me. And, that will be your death.'
"..."
As he waited for them to close their distance, Six suddenly heard a shout from somewhere making him click his tongue.
"Grey, get out! That guy is doing something strange and he's just waiting for you to come. Nash, Jia, Kisha, stop running at him!"
'Fuck! Just who is this guy?' Six mused inwardly as he would activate his inheritance if the four move closer but they all stopped when the shout ordered them to.
"Looks like you're an acquaintance of these guys. Do you know them? Come out!" Six shouted with a taunt as he wanted to catch a glimpse of the guy.
"Geezer, do you take me as an idiot? Like hell would I come out!" Gin answered after done making another nullified arrow.
At the moment, Gin understood that his nullify ability can't pierced through when it is something hard.
[Truth Eyes- Heightened Eyesight- has been activated]
Gin began to activate his new ability as he saw Seven doing something weird at Six's back.
Then a realization hit his head as Gin finally understand his mistake. He saw Seven smiling as he pinpoint his location through the voice only.
'Shit! Synchro—!'
Gin quickly formed a sync, noticing Seven's smile.
"Now Seven!" Six ordered Seven, who guessed Gin's location at the shout.
[Nullifying Domain]
Seven smile devilishly before he flicked his fingers and shout, "Dimensional Travel!"
"..."
Seven wore a confident smile on his face as he waited for his inheritance to work. He was waiting for the culprit to fall beside him and Six.
"..."
But he was far too late.
"..."
Silence descended at the whole place, holding their breaths thinking that something is going to happen but as they waited for more... It was still nothing.
"Ahhh...!"
And, the one who broke the silence was a shout coming from Seven.
"Huh?! Why the hell it's not working?! What the fuck!" Seven shouted shakingly as he tugged the shirt of Six, who is beside him.
"..."
Noticing that Seven's inheritance is not working, Six formed a slight frown on his face but he was also confused at the same time.
'What kind of ability is that? No, wait. Maybe something is wrong with Seven? Shit! Either the two, I only see disadvantages.' Six mused inwardly as he finally decided to activate his Inheritance, seeing that everything was only disadvantaging for them.
Boom!
His height had grown a bit with his muscles started to become even bulkier. Veins had popped out from his muscles and everyone watching felt like he was transforming into something.
His height had grown and his muscles started to become even bulkier, with vein shopping out from it. He looked like a person transforming into something.
"Pheww."
It's his inheritance. Amplifying his body at the max, increasing his battle prowess greatly. The only problem was his soul was being consumed, making his situation not really that good as his soul was low compared to others.
"Hey, Seven. Let's just focus. Just stay into the plan and we'll kill them all without a hitch."
Seven give a nod before the two of them stand in their places.
Whoosh!
It was then another arrow, which is not as far as before, started to aim at Seven once again. It was far yet so slow that you will be mistaken that it was some sort of distraction.
Even Seven noticed it as he shouted as a response, "Dimensional Travel!"
Vwoom!
A small portal appeared in front of Seven, enough for that slow arrow to go through.
Whoosh!
Seeing how Seven respond to it, Six didn't defend and just smiled faintly. He knew that it will just go somewhere else and he leave it be.
Six then readied himself before he started to run at Nash and the other three, to get back the damage he accumulated from them.
Whoosh!
If he only knew that the one who shot the arrow is smiling faintly under his mask.
'Heh. Once it doesn't work. It will never work.'
Whoosh!
From Seven's point of view, it felt like the time became so fast as he saw the arrow just pass through his portal. Shocked has been plastered on his face as the thought of defending wasn't an option any longer.
Whoosh!
"Ahhh!"
Hearing a pained shout from his back, Six stops himself from running and turns his body around, only to see Seven being shot in his eye.
The arrow was really pierced through it, which looked like it had been stuck after the shot. Six saw Seven's hand shaking as he touched the tip of the arrow, afraid that it will get worse as time goes on.
But, at that moment of distraction, Six heard someone whispering near his ear.
"Where are you looking at?"
Six slightly shivered before facing his body at the front, only to see Nash's blade turned to fire as it aim towards his head.
Whoosh!
Seeing the incoming danger, Six quickly used his shield to protect himself from it.
Kwang!
The two looked at each other with angry faces at the moment before a fight happen once more.
Whoosh!
Nash used his sword to keep slashing and finding a way to greatly damage Six,
Slash!
But Six knew where Nash is hitting and used his shield to intercept him.
Whoosh!
Six realize that he needed to keep his focus on Nash as he notice that he was the guy who would most likely inflict heavy damage on him.
Kwang!
But because of that focus which is only directed to Nash, he forgot to mind the others making the person, who is waiting for a chance to quickly move as soon as she saw it.
Whoosh!
With axe in her hand, Jia sprinted towards Six's legs and aim her weapon at it even though the armor was protecting them.
Clang!
Nash and Jia continued to keep attacking as they search for a way to injure Six.
If Six moved and decided to defend himself from Nash, Jia would find a way and go towards the opposite side. It was the same on Nash if Six decided to defend himself on Jia.
Kwang!
After some time past of attacking Six, who decided to defend himself from Nash's attack, Jia decided to do a heavy blow by using her axe to the fullest to hit the armor on Six's legs that she had been hitting earlier.
And, the result was his armor breaking.
Crack!
"Urgh!" Six let out a pained groan, turning his head to look at Jia.
Furious about it, Six clenched his fist and throw a punch at Jia on her face.
Pak!
With a huge impact, Jia flew far away towards Laura.
Thud!
"Jia!" Laura worriedly shouted as she quickly go towards the smiling Jia who heal her.
The three near Six looked at him for a moment before stepping back towards Jia. They took quick glances at her and saw that she was okay.
Even though Six had to keep defending, it doesn't mean that he will just accept the damage he had been accumulating.
He will most likely find a chance too.
Thud!
Seeing the group had stepped back, Six also did the same and go towards where Seven is currently staying and give him a frowned look.
"Ahh..."
Six could see that Seven is unstable right now, as his hands keep shaking while touching the air near the arrow.
Everything that is happening on his side was really not good. Feeling and sensing that way, Six bit his lips and made a choice.
"Fuck!" Six cursed loudly before throwing his shield away.
"..."
Seeing his shield being thrown which is really a problem for the group at the start, Nash was slightly taken aback before he began to blade start to burn once more.
He, Grey, and Kisha looked at each other for a moment and give a nod before they started to dash in Six's direction.
Whoosh!
'Huh?' Gin questioned inwardly as he brings down his bow.
Gin would've shot Seven after he saw that it was the right timing, but he suddenly felt weirded out by Six's actions he just saw at the moment.
After Gin thought about it inside, he suddenly felt shivers right down on his core.
Gin didn't know the reason why but he loudly shouted, involuntary, "All of you, fall back! Nash, Grey, Kisha! Retreat! Everyone, retreat and escape to that big man!"
Hearing the familiar voice, the three instantly stopped and swiftly gets away as per Gin's order.
The newbies, on the other hand, stayed in their places and didn't move. They felt that Six was just readying himself to fight the rookies and they're all silent about it as they wouldn't get involved.
The shout thought it was a warning for the group but they didn't know it was also a warning for them. Some listened but the majority just let the warning pass from here ear onto another.
'Shit! Just die then! I already warned you all!' Gin said inwardly as he also started to run away from Six if he decided to target him first, hence he needed to get away as possible.
"..."
Six smiled faintly as he moved his head, not on Nash and others, but on the newbies.
"..."
The newbies who didn't heed the warning felt relaxed and remain to stand, but their expression changed when they saw Six running onto them.
Boom!
As he runs at them, Six formed a devilish smile on his face with the ground shaking near him, making cracks along the way.
Boom!
The newbies saw the big man and thought that Nash and his group would rescue them, but the help didn't come in their way.
Boom!
As if they would rescue someone who didn't even bother to help them when they're fighting Six. and endanger themselves Besides, they already heard the warning yet they didn't listen.
It was their fault in the first place.
Boom!
And, they're late to realize it as Six was already on their front with a huge smile on his face.
"You should have listened to that voice." Six said before grabbing a person's head.
"Please… I'm begging you..." The man pleads, regretting not listening to the mysterious voice.
"Oh… no no no. I'm really mad right now, you see." Six answered as he give a man a huge smirk, before activating his attribute hand crushing.
Splash!
Weird noises were heard after Six crushed the head of the person.
His smile grew wider as he moved to the side, only to see the other newbies near him was frozen in place
Six swiftly move his hand and grabbed another head to crush it.
Splash!
"This is fun! Hahaha!" Six smiled widely while looking at his next victim.
"No!"
Six chased his next victim like a hungry lion before he holds his victim's head, crushing it a second later.
Splash!
"Hahahaha!"
As he laughs in a burst of maniacal laughter, the others who are staring at him looked at the scene with terrified and disgusted eyes.
Six finally let off the poor man's body that had already no head intact.
Thud!
"You're next!" Six shouted as he moved the left side and run onto some woman.
"Hahahaha!"
After successfully grabbing the woman, Six smile at her devilishly and was about to crush her head when all of a sudden, a shout could be heard on his far back.
"Who are you?!"
