Chapter 36: Trouble


    "...!!" Ractron and Rotem''s faces turned into shock as they saw the notification in front of them. Quickly, they turned in disbelief towards the area where Roron was at, there, their eyes shook at the sight of his body turning into grey ash and the one who had dealt the final blow was Frey.


    "That girl managed to kill Roron?!" Ractron said in shock.


    "Ugh! It''s due to us focusing on that damn priest!" Rotem clicked his tongue, "How on earth is he so fast?!"


    "Well, it''s not that he''s fast. It''s just you''re super slow."


    "Argh! Whatever! Let''s hurry and take that guy down before he heals himself!"


    Rotem quickly averted his gaze away from his perishingpanion to where Shinto was. The moment he turned to the area, he wasn''t greeted by Shinto, but by empty air.


    "W-What the...?!" His eyes widened at the scene as he hurriedly began to look around, "Where did he go?!" Searching around for Shinto who was gone in in sight, he suddenly heard a rustling sounding from behind the trees and bushes.


    "There he is! Ractron hurry and get him!" Quickly confirming Shinto''s whereabouts, Rotem rushed forward. The moment he did so, a loud voice protruded from behind the bushes,


    "Frey go after swordsman!" Shinto jumped out of the bush, quickly sending a mana spark over towards Rotem.


    "Ah...! On it!" Hearing Shinto''s orders, Frey began making her way to Rotem.


    "You...!" Being hit by the sudden attack, Rotem frowned as he gripped tightly onto his long sword, quickly he spun around in a circle.


    [ Swordsman Skill: Blitz de ]


    Creating a quick gush of wind around him, Shinto hurriedly took a step back in order to avoid being hit, however, he was a second toote. The attack too off 4% of his health, quickly bringing his health down to 5%.


    "Ractron hurry!!" Rotem shouted out, his heart thumped as Shinto was near death.


    "Gah...!" Shinto clicked his tongue as he looked over towards Frey, who was running up to Rotem. In the heat of the moment, Frey leapt forward as she hit the man in the stomach, following up with a knuckle punch to the chin.


    "Don''t attack my master you boots-obsessed person!" Frey angrily continued her barrage of attacks on Rotem.


    From behind the two fightings, Ractron btedly rushed up as he activated a speed buffing skill, [ Quick Steps ] as he closed in on the distance between Shinto and himself.


    Following after the Quick Steps, Ractron swung his dagger upwards toward Shinto. The man''s movements were dull, thus Shinto could dodge it. Finally unable to resist Shinto opened his mouth, "Maybe... Next time you should ce more points into agility than strength." He said as he sent out a skill, [ Divinity Point ] over towards Rotem, quickly regaining back portion of his health from the attack.


    "God damn it you!!" Ractron red at Shinto with bloodshot eyes as he continuously swung his dagger around, but it always hit empty air.


    While Ractron continued to try andnd his attacks on him, Shinto nced over towards Frey, taking a look at her HP. Seeing that it was down to red, Shinto grasped the opportunity to heal her using Mark of Umbra. The man was so distracted in trying tond attacks on Shinto that he wouldn''t be able to pay attention to the skill animation.


    Feeling a gentle touch on her back from the mark, Frey looked towards Shinto, "Ah, thanks, master!"


    "Hey! Don''t get distracted mid-way!" Rotem clicked his tongue as he thrust his sword forward. Frey btedly turned her attention back to her battle as she took damage.


    "Ack! Hey!" Frey frowned from the sudden attack by Rotem, quickly she went back into attacking him, protruding her fists forward towards multiple areas of his body. While she was doing so, Rotem was fighting back against Frey, for every strike shends, hends a sh on her. They were basically trading blows with almost-near identical damage being dealt to each other.


    Although Rotem dealt more damage to Frey, he was on the losing side. With Shinto''s support on Frey, the damage dealt by Rotem was futile. Knowing this, Rotem roared in anger, "Hey! Ractron! Why isn''t that priest dead yet?!"


    "Ugh! It''s hard to kill someone who is constantly dodging around!" Ractron clicked his tongue has he profusely tried to attack Shinto.


    "Why are you so slow?! Isn''t a thief supposed to be faster than a damn priest?!"


    "Hey, boots-obsessed person! You shouldn''t be distracted mid-way!" Frey said as she clenched her fists, quickly initiation the skill, [ Collision Force ].


    "Argh...!" Rotem gritted his teeth as he was knocked back from the force.


    "Ugh! Don''t talk about it! Just go and target that girl instead! She''s the most dangerous, I''ll go and help out!" Ractron said as he moved his body towards the direction of Frey.


    "Then help already!" Ractron clicked his tongue as he charged forward with his sword in hand over towards Frey.


    As the two men made their way over towards Frey. Shinto stepped forward over towards Ractron as he blocked his way.


    "Who said you could go?" He asked.


    "Out of the way you freaking evading priest!" Ractron shed at Shinto with his dagger, forcing him to dodge. "If you''re not going to kill me and I can''t attack you, then I''ll just make you go back with force!"


    "Tch... Then if I can''t stop you, then I''ll just target the swordsman with her."


    "Grrr! We''ll see who kills who first!"


    Shinto and Rotem quickly turned towards Frey as they made their way to her. The moment they reached her, Shinto shouted out as he sent a mana spark over towards the swordsman.


    "Frey, just focus your attacks on the swordsman and finish him off! Ignore that slow their who can''t evennd an attack on a priest!"


    "Eh...? Priest?" Frey nkly asked. However, she had no time to think too much about it as the swordsman began aggressively attacking her.


    "Don''t mind that, just listen to my orders while we kill that swordsman. The thief means nothing if he can''tnd an attack on you." Shinto calmly said as he continued attacking the swordsman.


    "Grr, why you piece of-" Ractron finally had enough of it as he hurriedly activated a skill, [ Swift Cut ]. A burst of energy surrounded his dagger as he aimed it towards Frey.


    Just as the skill neared Frey, Shinto shouted out, "Frey to the right!"


    "Ah...! Alright." Frey heard his orders as she moved to the right, quickly, she narrowly missed the skill attack.


    "Good. The swordsman almost dead, let''s end this!"


    After his attacks missed, the thief ragingly red at Shinto, "Why you!!"


    "God damn it, Ractron!" Rotem cursed as he looked at his health bar, it was in the red. With the current situation right now, he couldn''t survive. "Ugh, just run! It''s a hopeless fight!"


    "Ugh, run?! I''ll show you!"


    "Argh! Just run-"


    Frey and Shinto cut his words short as they ended the swordsman. He turned into grey ash as in hisst moments, he red over to Ractron with bloodshot eyes.


    [ Rotem has died. ]


    "Alright, now that we''re done with him, move on to the thief!" Shinto turned his head over to the angry Ractron.


    "Right on it!" Frey happily replied as she moved forward, grabbing hold onto the thief.


    "I''ll kill you both myself and prove to them I can!"


    ...


    Not a minuteter, Ractron joined hispanions in death.
