Chapter 79: Chapter 64: Battle Group_2
“Then I want to register as a battle team.”
“Very well, how many mbers are there?”
“Five.”
As the secretary spoke, he saw the Black Knight wave his hand, and four figures erged from behind him – four beautiful young girls dressed differently. Among them, a girl with pink hair wore a bright and soft smile, and a pure white robe embroidered with gold edges that seed out of place in this setting. Beside her stood a tall, silver-haired woman with a hunting gun, and a young girl shrouded in a cloak wearing clothes that hinted at nobility.
Following them was a girl with brown pigtails, festooned with white hair bands, dressed similar to a maid.
What kind of team is this??
The secretary had his doubts, he did not question the pink-haired girl being a mber of the church, her presence alone carried an air characteristic of the clergy. However, he had never seen her style of robe before… As he was lost in thought, his gaze landed on a Holy Grail Emblem adorning the cloak of the Black Knight.
Could it be a Holy Grail Knight?!
Upon seeing the emblem, the secretary was taken aback. He rubbed his eyes vigorously to confirm– it was indeed identical to the Holy Grail Emblem detailed in text. Could it be then, that he was truly the Holy Grail Knight?!
Ah, then beside him, that must be the fairy of the lake.
Being a citizen of the Empire, the secretary had heard of the neighboring country Bartonilla, knowing that the Holy Grail Knight adventured alongside the fairy of the lake, battling evil. The adorable and beautiful lady with pink hair indeed suited this description.
The Holy Grail Knight seed a bit……..
Stealing a glance at the terrifying helt, the secretary diverted his gaze.
“Err… Excuse , so you’re registering as a battle team… What is your team’s na?”
“Pink Little Bunny.”
“Alright, Pink Little…….Huh??”
As Duanmu Huai and his party left, Lorena’s face was beet red.
“Sir Knight, why did you choose that na?!”
Lorena stomped her foot, turned her head, and through the cracked and twisted wooden door, she could see the secretary still in shock – the impact was so great that he had forgotten all about blaming Duanmu Huai for damaging the door fra.
“What’s wrong with it? It’s my battle team, I’m free to na it whatever I want.”
“You’re right, but…”
“Besides, with the team being all girls except myself, isn’t it good to have a cute na?”
“Humph…Isn’t it too embarrassing… Why not na it Unicorn, or Pegasus or so such?”
“That’s exactly what makes it fun… Who said a battle team must have a cool na?”
“????”
Even though Duanmu Huai retorted calmly, for so reason, Lorena sohow visualised through his helt that he was sporting a deeply aningful grin.
“If you don’t like this na, what if I change it to ‘Fluffy Teddy Bears’?”
“I guess I’ll pass…….”
Lorena was summoned by Duanmu Huai. Before this, he had returned to the Holy City to find her, briefly explaining the situation. Despite a bit of surprise, Lorena eventually agreed to join his team.
As for rlot, her conditions were a bit unusual. She was currently in a “hold and review” phase as a mber of the chanical Religion, but since Duanmu Huai was quite influential in the Holy City, he was able to plead with the archbishop to let rlot operate with him. If she could prove her competence, she could return to duty.
The only pity was that her chanical wings were sealed away as heretical objects. But even so, rlot was a skilled sniper, and Duanmu Huai did need a long-range attacker. Furthermore, rlot’s combat capabilities were indeed comndable, evident by her card attributes.
[Sin Sniper. rlot (Gold)]
[Cost: 3]
[Attack: 4]
[Defense: 5]
[Guardian]
[Entrance Music: Deal X damage to an enemy at the start of each battle, where X equals half the number of charms activated in the battle.]
Although rlot’s special effect is currently useless, her high ranged attack power is ostensibly enough.
As for the deranged maid with the fanatical smile trailing them, she was none other than Fina, the core of the Masked Girl Legion that Duanmu Huai had battled with before.
[Slaughter Puppeteer. Fina (Gold)]
[Cost: 2]
[Attack: 1]
[Defense: 2]
[Critical Hit]
[Every ti a Puppet steps onto the battlefield, sacrifice 2 points to transform it into a ‘Slaughter Puppet’]
[Finale: Randomly transform one of your Slaughter Puppets into Puppeteer. Fina.]
[Slaughter Puppet (Cost 2): 1/1, (Stealth)]
Yes, this is precisely why Duanmu Huai summoned Fina. Just like the card’s description, Fina could transform any [Puppet] entering the battlefield into a [Slaughter Puppet]. This was what Duanmu Huai had to face when fighting the Masked Girl Legion. Even though their attack power was not high, their ability was exceedingly useful.
[Stealth]
This was essentially equivalent to invisibility. Cards certain [Stealth] are invisible and cannot be targeted by spells or attacks before initiating an attack. Only when they make a move or face an Area of Effects attack, would they beco visible. Otherwise, their shadows remain unseen.
For Duanmu Huai, these [Slaughter Puppets] are the best scouts, spies, and assassins. Though their attack power is low, Fina’s [Critical Hit] ability is sufficient to eliminate any enemy. Furthermore, Duanmu Huai can use them in this way – He would first summon a Puppet to the field, then transform it into a [Slaughter Puppet]. Leverage the [Stealth] of the [Slaughter Puppet] to infiltrate any defensively tight place before sending Fina away himself, transferring her to the [Slaughter Puppet] to deal with the target.
After that, he can transform another [Slaughter Puppet]. If Fina gets killed after successfully executing her target, she can transfer again.
It ant that as long as the [Slaughter Puppet] was not entirely obliterated, Fina would never die. Partnered with her [Critical Hit], an immortal assassin is indeed… terrifying.
Of course, if we were to discuss potential downsides, it would be Fina’s ntal instability… For now, he can put up with it.
Now, Duanmu Huai’s squad had their Tank (himself), Healer (Lorena), AOE (Ogis), Ranged damage dealer (rlot) and Rogue (Fina). They basically covered all the roles needed in a five-man team.
Next, they could delve into the Curse City dungeon!
