65. Second Round

While waiting for the cooldown of Shiro's skills to end, the members of SweetSugar make various preparations to carry out their first major attack in the new world. Meanwhile, Nina and Melly who were unable to fight were brought back to the capital to rest.

Shiro walked over to Ashley who was seen sitting alone in front of the tent. The tall girl with long black hair with a ponytail style was seen preparing some bows that she would bring to the funeral later.

"Ashley-san, is there anything I can help you with?" said Shiro, greeting Ashley.

"Shiro...? Oh No, thanks. How's your shoulders?" said Ashley who then put down her bows to talk to Shiro.

"I think it will get better." said Shiro who then sat next to Ashley.

For a moment Ashley mused, looking at Shiro's face with a faint smile. After Shiro looked back at her, she said, "You're Right. A woman cares more about nature than a man's physical appearance."

Seeing the beautiful Ashley widen her smile made Shiro blush slightly. Even though Ashley is a few years older than Shiro, Ashley's appearance is very charming with her mature nature.

"A-Ashley-san... I wonder... Is the skill you used earlier always been like that? I mean, is it always able to double the arrow that you shot?" said Shiro, trying to change the subject.

"Of course. Thousand Arrows is a special skill from the Archer class. What's wrong?" Ashley answered, frowning with slightly pouting lips.

"Hmm ... If your special skill is the same as I imagined, I think... Maybe you can still make it even stronger."

"Even stronger? What do you mean??" said Ashley, who was increasingly curious.

"Do you know that my Death Aura is actually a type of defense skill that basically can only be used as a protective shield?"

"Mhmm... But don't you usually use that skill to attack?"

"That's what I wanted to say... I'm very sure if that skill is a defense skill, because the skill information is clearly written like that. I have never played the game version of EEWAO, but I think in this world, we can use our skills beyond the limits of its abilities.

"What do you mean? Heh he..." Ashley asked, not understanding Shiro's explanation.

"When I activate the Death Aura skill, a black aura will surround my body and the aura will automatically move to ward off whatever is approaching. But actually, I can also control it. Therefore, I think if I can control it, why don't I use it as an attack too? And as you know, I can change the shape of the black aura into a swords, spears and whatever I imagine."

"You mean in this world, we can use our skills depending on how we use them?" Suddenly, Slayer's voice answered their conversation.

Shiro and Ashley were surprised and turned towards the tree beside them, where the source of Slayer's voice came from.

Since a few days ago, Slayer was obsessed exposing Shiro's hypocrisy and always followed him wherever he went. She had been sitting behind the tree since Shiro came to Ashley and listened to all of their conversation.

"Stalker?" Ashley murmured, teasing Slayer.

Shiro smiled slightly and then said, "That's right. And I think that applies to all classes."

"Mhmm... I think that makes sense. Since this world has become a real world for us, it means we also need to practice our abilities manually. What do you think, Alice?" Ashley said.

"During this time I always use my skills automatically, following the pattern of attacks and let my body move on its own. If we use them manually, I think we can indeed change the attack patterns of the skills we have." said Slayer who then walked away.

Ashley sighed and said, "I don't know how long she keeps suspecting you. Do you know if she always follows you wherever you go?"

"R-Really?!" said Shiro in surprise.

"That girl, there is nothing more important to her than her younger sibling and becoming stronger. I think right now she's going straight to practice. She won't leave you if you didn't talk about the mastering skills."

Some time later, Dara and Nichole returned to the campsite with reinforcements. Hundreds of girls walked out of the dimensional portal and then gathered in the center of the campsite.

Shortly afterwards, Slayer was seen walking out from behind a bush. As she walked over to the SweetSugar commanders, Slayer pulled the katana from its scabbard and said, "Let's go."

Hundreds of SweetSugar members cheered at the departure instructions. Even though some of them feel nervous and a bit scared, but hearing the cheering of their friends makes their fear fade and makes all SweetSugar members fully ready to conquer The Rustic Grave.

"Open the gate!!" exclaimed the commanders of the SweetSugar alliance.

Dozens of dimension portals began to appear in front of the line. Shiro and 500 more Senshi from the SweetSugar alliance walked into the portal and headed to the Rustic Grave. They plan to conquer the tomb overnight. Meanwhile, at the moment there are only less than 6 hours left until sunrise, where Undead type monsters will disappear and return to their realms.

The dimensional portal appears outside the funeral gate. The girls from the SweetSugar alliance started walking out of the portal and then form 50 groups with the formation they had previously put together.

Each group consists of the Holy Priests who are in the back row to recover melee fighters HP and MP. While the Wizard and Archer are in the middle of the line to provide support for long-range attacks and protect Healers.

Close range combatants such as Warrior, Samurai, Ninja, Monk and others are at the very front, except for Elementalists with the ability to control the land. They were in the middle of the line and tasked with providing protection to the melee attackers by making a parapet to limit the number of Undead who would attack them.

The SweetSugar Alliance has diverse members. However, of all the available classes, in the alliance that is only reserved for the girls, there are no Hunter and Tracker and Scout classes.

Different from Hunter which is a class that can still be relied upon in an attack, Tracker and Scout is almost useless for war. Therefore only a very few players that want to choose the class. And although there are a few of them, it's likely that they were just a helper who was asked to choose the class by their friends in the real world.

The Tracker and Scout class itself is indeed not a fighter type class, but an observer type. This class has very low Attack, Defense and even MP. However, the HP bar of this class is very high and has the fastest speed of all available classes.
