"I did hold back, okay? I am only using one-eighth of my powers."
There was a reason the Hacker was holding back. Well, there were many of them. The first one was that the won wanted to stretch their arms a little. If she went all out, there honestly wouldn't be a fight anymore since she would instantly crush all the wolves together.
Another reason was that they didn't wish to alert the Primordial Level Beasts.
Felberta had no reason to create a Region. She could use her powers to change the rules of the entire world, but the mont that happened, the other beasts would be alerted, and they all would rush towards them.
Therefore, the Hacker was forced to create a small region where her powers would be activated and the rest of the world wouldn't be affected.
"..."
Ember stared at Felberta in silence.
Honestly, she really wanted to go out and fight as well. However, her powers worked well in battles of a higher scale. Honestly, this was the reason she wanted to participate in the War so badly.
Right now, she just supported her sisters with her Law that strengthened all of them and stayed here to protect them in case so wolves ca at them.
Skyla and Aisha were engaging in close-ranged battle as well.
Allura and Edda were the damage dealers.
Evane was prepared to heal every ti any of them was hurt, and yes, she wasn't being very useful.
It wasn't a battle that would be difficult for these won.
Just like Evane, Riona was sitting on a chair, observing everything with a bored look on her face. She wanted to use her Law to protect any of her sisters in case they were in danger, but...
"Tsk, they are too strong.'
She just snorted.
It didn't take long for the battle to end. As more and more wolves died, lia had more blood to control. With her blood spikes restricting the wolves, it beca almost impossible for them to move because every ti they did, a barrage of spikes was thrown at them, forcing them to stop and block the attack. During that ti, the rest of the won rushed towards the wolves and killed them.
In the middle of the battle, the won forced Felberta to sit next to Evane and Riona since the rate at which she was killing these beasts was simply too fast.
Because of that, the battle lasted for more than 10 minutes until Rune killed the last wolf. "That's it?"
The Cat questioned as she looked around, seeing how all the wolves were killed. She was disappointed.
"Cut their horns. We need 25 of them."
Astaria commanded, slicing 5 horns herself.
The won sighed as they collected the horns as well.
"That was boring"
Vyriana comnted.
She glanced at Astaria and,
"I thought you were doing sothing much more interesting than this."
Astaria just looked at her master with a deadpan look on her face, not saying anything.
"We should proceed with much more important matters, no?"
Felberta, who stood up from her chair, spoke with a playful smile on her face.
Hearing her words, the rest of the won smiled as well.
Amaya quickly spread the Devouring Mist, devouring the wolves' bodies and cleaning up the 'battlefield.'
The won then turned towards a particular direction and,
"What? Are you waiting for us to tire ourselves out? That won't happen, you know?"
Astaria questioned with a terrifying smirk on her lips, and as she said those words, the 'space' they were staring at flickered.
Suddenly, more than 50 beings appeared in front of them.
"Well, you ca prepared."
Astaria was impressed.
While she was expecting him to bring support, to think he would bring his entire party... She didn't think that man's brother had so much influence in their party, but then again, it wasn't like they tried to investigate these people.
"Heh, did you think you people could get away after humiliating ?"
Valhelm walked forward with a big smile on his face.
"But I didn't expect your party to be this strong, not to ntion you have been hiding your numbers..."
The Giant spoke as he stared at Amaya and the others.
"I brought all of them because I wanted all my brothers to enjoy. I guess it turned out to
be for the best."
The mont they heard his words, the won shook their heads.
They actually felt bad for this man.
After all...
He was listening,
'Oh, you poor soul."'
Valhelm, obviously, completely misunderstood their expressions and,
"Oh, co on, don't act like that.
Weren't you the ones who called us out? You already knew we were coming, no?
Or is seeing five Primordials at the sa ti a little too overwhelming for you?"
Valhelm's smile widened.
But then suddenly,
"Join us."
A man with features similar to Valhelm, but taller, stepped forward.
"Brother...?" Valhelm was surprised. The man, however, just raised his hand, signaling
him to stop.
"I observed your fight.
You are a useful bunch.
Join us, and I promise we will treat you well."
The man then stared at Valhelm and,
"And of course, none of them will dare to lay a hand on you if you do not allow it."
"Broth-"
Valhelm wanted to refute. However, seeing his brother's glare, he froze.
Astaria and others blinked.
This... isn't how it is supposed to go...
Why the hell is a reasonable person here?
Weren't these people supposed to be mindless mobs with limited dialogue?
Why aren't they attacking them already?
Astaria glanced at her sisters, and seeing their confused faces, she could tell that they
were thinking the sa thing.
"Whatever, just turn them down. They live to see another day, I guess.
Astaria then heard Amaya's casual voice.
She glanced at her and nodded. Then, she turned towards the brother and, with a
slightly disappointed look on her face, she replied,
"We have reasons to not join others. I hope you understand."
Hearing those words, Valhelm's brother sighed with a disappointed look on his face.
"I offered you a way out, yet you mistook my rcy for weakness.
It seems I must educate you on what becos of those who dare defy their betters."
The brother spoke with a cold look on his face, and the instant he said those words,
Astaria's face brightened,
"Yes, this is exactly what I was talking about.
That is how you guys are supposed to act."
She nodded continuously, and the rest of the won smiled as well.
"Alright, that's enough talk."
Vyriana, who had been holding back for long enough, suddenly stretched her body. She
stared at the beings in front of her, her draconic eyes shining fiercely,
"Let's get this started."
Her words sent shivers down the rcenaries' spines. After all, they had seen how the woman literally tore those wolves' bodies with brute strength alone.
Sensing that their party's morale was dropping because of that woman, one of the five Primordials narrowed his eyes. Then,
"I guess we need to take care of the feisty ones first, eh?" Saying those words, he disappeared, appearing right next to Vyriana.
He was expecting the woman to panic, wanting to see her ravishing body trembling in
fear as he closed the distance between them.
But...
The woman was smiling...
Wait...
Smiling...?
"Why?"
The being couldn't help but wonder.
"That's a mistake, you know?"
Suddenly, he heard Vyriana's voice.
"!!!"
Suddenly, his instincts were alerted, warning him to move even though he had no clue
what was wrong.
Of course, he trusted his instincts and tried to move,
But it was already too late.
"Don't die."
Suddenly, the being heard a man's voice, and before he could react,
BOOOOOOM
He was punched.
His body was obliterated.
One of the five Primordials had perished.
