Chapter 52: Smder Rewards


    Nh Immortal say, "Now Lucinda fire!" The Leopard SpiritCannons'' eyes glow brightly. A thundering boom of energy dashes towards the Smander. It explodes on the Smanders back leg. Roar! A loud boom from the Smander.


    -396


    Nh Immortal smiles as the Smander turns to dash towards Lucinda. It moves as fast as an injured Smander can go. It is about five seconds to get to Lucinda it has a very slow turn radius a good lunge. Nh Immortal follows in the air. Firing her measly crossbow.


    -9


    Nh Immortal can only mash her teeth she should be following the forums on the Arknia more closely. If she did she would have seen a few posts about them needing blessed weapons. The symbol on the back attracting her attention she can sense a radiance from it. As he leaps towards Lucinda. The Smander lifts its arms. She leaps back dodging the attack then Dashing shield first into the head of the Smander.


    - 122


    Nh Immortal says, "Lucinda dash now! Amalya gets ready." Lucinda used her shield bash skill and managed to stun the smander.

    Lucinda attacks with its with her Leopard spirit cannon and shield. Lucinda fights using the fundamentals of a guardian interchanging between her weapons. So far is the best head-on fight Nh Immortal will have upfront in future. She suspects that she sisters are missing something they should be able to attack from a distance more often than thirty seconds. She goes over the skills again clicking on the little arrow in front of the first skill. She is given a basic attack that deals 50% damage every five seconds. It is the basic cannoneer skill.

    Nh Immortal says, "Amalya, Rena use your basic ranged attack." Rena is sure they don''t have that anymore it disappeared right after the Wraith Upgraded their spirit. Amalya who has been using the unlimited is the quickest to adjust. She starts firing her basic at a constant rate of fire. A shot every ten seconds. This coupled with her strike that is every three seconds she feels better. In the interval, she adjusts her positions to stay on the side of the smander. Amalya smiles this is in line with the tutorial videos on the forums about her ss. Her sisters had been convinced that they don''t have a basic attack when they received the Wraith lords power.


    Lucinda is still attacking, Nh immortal smiles they are just needed some guidance. The increased damage peppers the Smanders. Which has now only a quarter of its health left. As soon as it stands on its hinds legs.


    Nh immortal says," Amalya now!" Thunderps a roaring tiger flying towards the soft underbelly of the Smander.

    Rena attacks with her newly rediscovered basic ranged attack. She had no idea that she had ess to some of her basic ss skills. Lucinda takes health she had been fighting the smander for about forty seconds. Tyr also kills his first Lizardman, ahead rolls onto the ground. When the Smander roars again this is unable to use its earth pulse skill after Amalya interrupted it.


    Nh Immortal sees only one Lizardman appear. She lets out a sigh of relief it seems it can only have four minions out at any one time. She leaves him to suffer the lizardmen. He is using all his skills. She has never seen him fight so many enemies before he is even more impressive as he is taking no almost damage. He uses his crossbow shot to give himself breathing room. Every time he is hit a radical of fire singes the enemies around him. She shakes her head thinking that, ''was he holding back when he was fighting the rainbow serpent?'' she can''t be sure but he is fighting like someone familiar with the game. That''s impossible in fact even Overwatch ced in the top yers in game. He isn''t the best fighter but his skill utilisation and positioning are almost unmatched.


    Tempest rips a scroll the guild and bought from the number one Machine shop in the only none metallic power on the continent. Unlike arty and Thousand Styles Miles who are no longer human having received some of Liliana''s power. She left them so that she could get her ss change questpleted. They had left the empire when they were all level five and only because of this emergency that Liliana has she needs to at her top strength to help. Then if Miles has his way they should be back in time to watch SoulStealer finish off Sunken Reef.


    Amalya doesn''t let the raging Smander overwhelm her. She is dodging all its attacks. The fire breath was thwarted by Nh Immortal when one of her bolts entered from the holes. Where the green nauseating gas came from. It squeals as the pain from the bolt causes it to cough. A gue of fire exploding in its throat. This lucky shot nearly dealt a death blow. Using her cannoneer basic utility skill Rena collects double the spirit power. A massive human-sized lion appears around her spirit cannon running towards the Smander that is thrashing her sister.


    - 600!


    The Lion pounced and bites into the neck its form exploding all over the Red te scaled Smander. The red body goes limp ragged and filled with cuts and bruises. The team all get a lousy two hundred exp. At level ten they need one thousand points to level up. Tyr is only one smiling each of them got town hundred. That means if he was alone he would have leveled up by fighting one monster.


    Nh Immortalnds and says, "Well done girls. Amalya please collect the loot. Lucinda in future I want you starting our fights." In her mind, Rena will be joining one of the others teams. It''s between the dodging Amalya or the blocking Lucinda.


    Rena says, "What about Tyr?" Nh Immortal blocks them from moving forward with her wing.


    Nh Immortal says, "he can take care of himself. we have other things to do." Amalya cries as she losses half her health. The red dragon pendant she just picked has the same dragon sigil printed on her hand now. The girls all rush to her side.


    Rena reaching for the pendant curiously, her hand is smacked by Lucinda who says, "you can''t do that she got damaged by that." Rena has always been like that it is both a blessing and a curse,. A blessing because she managed to get these strong beast spirits a curse of the unknown effect. Only Rena doesn''t appear to worry about it. ITs a concern that Lucinda spends a great of time on forums for any clue.


    Nh Immortal says, "don''t be silly it must be something else..." She caught the pendent as it fell to the ground. She somehow felt strange magic from it. Her words stopped as her face goes clear and her sliver liquid wings bubble. Her eyes begin to glow red as a wealth of information about the cave is filled into her head. Scared at the sudden change Amalya and Rena both reach for the pendant. Smacking out of Nh immortals hands.


    Lucinda says, "TYR!!!! Come quick!" Nh Immortal falls to her knees her eyes moving rapidly. Tyr turns he can''t quite make out what is going but he can hear the shock and fear in the girl''s voice. Tyr stops dodging and starts blocking his passive counts the attacks and triggers. Swinging his spear the fire enchantment melts the Lizardman. apparently with the Smander, he is now doing close to two hundred damage per normal attack.


    He twists away, putting a line of lizardmen ahead of him. He has negating their number advantage by fighting close to the wall. This at least prevented any of them from attacking him from behind.


    Nh Immortal says in an extremely coarse voice, "Beware hees, The dragon is reborn. The fooled one drowns his enemies and the eye of God is closed. Beware hees, The dragon is reborn. His birth marks theing of God. Hail the fury of fire, Praise the slumbering sun. Beware hees the dragon reborn." Nh Immortal falls over her whole body radiating red energy.


    The girls hold Nh Preventing her from getting dirty. They can only wait for this pass as none of them is a healer. Tyr continues to fight the lizardman. They are being pushed back by his high attack and blocking damage. Scorch is a powerful skill that triggers as long as he has mana. His natural regen is more than enough to counter the loss of mana caused by the skill.


    He rushes to her side, unlike the panicking girls he takes a bottle of health potion and makes Nh Immortal drink it. he holds her in his arms as he feeds the healing potions. Her body stops convulsing and she appears to be restful.


    Tyr says, "What the hell happened?" His voice filled with usation. His body has a faint glow to it...
