Startled and shocked by the axe crossing her path, Nina's eyes widened in panic and disturbance in her inner turmoil as she leaped back. Even Daemon was astonished by the sudden appearance of the axe before them. Likewise, Ben felt enormous emotions, and one of them was horror.At first, they all focused on the ax, which landed far from them. They turned around together and faced the direction where the axe was supposed to come from. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped as they looked at the figure in front of them.In the dark surroundings, a contrasting figure stood apart from everything. Someone with hair dark enough to blend in at night with a compelling physique. All others swallowed their fears, except Daemon, as they noticed someone unbelievably alive.It was none other than Tejasv. Who threw that axe to rescue Daemon and Ben from yet another near-death experience? Everyone was perplexed or aghast and even petrified since a dead man was standing before them with a slight s
Tejasv grasped the remaining axe firmly and glared at Nina. He leaped with a swift motion and swung it hard at her, without hesitation or fear. He had a sheer focus on his target and even planned the method of destroying his foes.Nina, too, dived and thrust her knives repeatedly at Tejasv. They clashed at once and countered each other's attacks while striking again. As a result of their collision, multiple sparks and sounds echoed all over the place.They gritted their teeth and applied even more pressure to their muscles. It was astounding for Tejasv to witness a girl clashing with him on equal terms. He smirked with the fighting spirit rising within him. However, Nina leaked intense bloodlust from her rage conversely to him.After a few more attacks, both concluded the outcome would not come just from head-on strikes. Hence, Nina snorted with a scowl and dived into the shadows while invoking her skill. She gave an ominous grin to Tejasv before disappearing from the naked sight.A t
The next thing Tejasv knew, Nina was on him with her barrage of strikes. Although her attack was supposed to be a stealth attack, Tejasv, with his sensitive instincts, grasped her presence. After his sudden fall earlier, he was even more cautious of his enemies.He positioned his axe slantly to counter most of her attacks. She struck him hard a few times but avoided a confrontation with Daemon or Ben. She gathered most of her weight at the front and, with a slight kick at the Tejasv's axe, she leaped back into the shadows.All three of her foes, Tejasv, Daemon, and Ben, could only stare at her with wide eyes due to the athletic and smooth movements she displayed. Her technique was enhanced to such an extent that she was able to swing herself around with accuracy.Tejasv signaled others to stay on guard and not fall for Nina's provocative strikes such as this one. Just as he gestured to them, Nina appeared behind Ben and swung her knives like always, with sound and swift, precise movem
Nina flinched as she noticed Ben coming to attack while raising his maul. She braced herself to defend and counter him, even pushing Tejasv back with some strength along the way. She focused her gaze on Ben, who was diving forwards behind Tejasv.With her gaze brooding, she noticed an intense glare leaked by Ben being pierced at his target. However the baffling fact she found unbelievable was her not being the target he was after. He swung his maul with all the strength he could muster and intense hatred.Nina smirked as she engaged with Tejasv, forcing even more tenacity and power before he could compose himself and counter her. Tejasv flinched when he felt a sudden emergence of attacks from her. He did not even have a single second to spare to ponder her thoughts.Tejasv swung his axe to defend himself while grunting and gritting his teeth. Aside from these three, Daemon grumbled in pain while balancing himself from the kick he faced from Nina. He squinted his eyes from the discomfo
Both Daemon and Nina composed themselves into a stance. They breathed heavily and stood firmly while glaring at each other. Tejasv, on the other hand, passed a grin at Ben and struck him back repeatedly.The scene that was enacted before Ben and Nina was proof of the firm determination and belief Tejasv displayed in his companions. He had confidence and faith in his teammate and friend, Daemon, even when he had an understanding of his drained condition.Both Tejasv and Daemon grinned while facing their opponents. They snorted and glanced at each other for a short moment. Passing gestures to each other, they leaped back and gradually stood while facing their backs to each other standing against the foe.Nina and Ben, meanwhile, grunted and scowled at their enemies. Even though Ben and Nina had no expectations or intention of allying, they still stood as if Tejasv and Daemon were their common enemies.Everyone stood against each other and glared. Tejasv leaped over Ben while Daemon and
Nina’s eyes widened as she witnessed Daemon walking towards Ben with his teeth shining in a bloodied face with a taunting smirk. She realized he took those hits out of his own violation, or more likely to say, he fought that way at Tejasv's command to keep her engaged.That was a masterstroke that struck fear in Nina's heart. She realized how Dameon and Tejasv played with her by providing pleasure for a while and snatching it the next second. However, she still had no idea what strategies they had ahead.She kept her gaze fixed on Daemon and suddenly turned around. Her eyes expanded when she saw Tejasv heading towards her with swift movements while clenching his ax, and a sly grin crept on his face.Nina didn't have enough time to even think or glance around at this moment. A worthy and terrific foe was marching towards her with his weapon and bloody intentions, while another one whom she thought to be smashed around was nowhere to be seen.Now that she had no time to spare, Nina glar
Nina fell to the ground with a loud screech since it was out of nowhere an arrow struck her leg and pierced it. She groaned and scrunched her eyes to endure the intense pain and trembled due to shivering.The echo of her scream grasped Tejasv and Daemon’s attention. In Addition, they also sighed since Daemon was out of danger from Nina. However, it wasn’t as simple as they thought for the short moments.One way or another, their heads were jumbled with numerous thoughts and speculations leading to shudders and panic. Since they had no idea where this arrow came from, their hearts were in shock and shivering.Likewise, Nina had even greater fear striking her heart in those moments. For the first time, Nina felt the threats from stealth and assassination attacks. It was obvious when she realized that arrow either let her live on purpose or the aim was diverted from her vital points.Trembling from the pain, Nina gradually grasped the arrow and with a jolt drew it out from her leg. Tears
After observing Sally and Nina, Tejasv pondered something, and wearing a friendly soft smile, he said, “Sally, thanks to you Daemon is currently alive. If not for you we may have lost one of our best warriors on the team!”He approached her with as friendly and concerned words as one may say to someone close. With his sharp mindset, Tejasv blurted such words to confirm Sally's approach towards them since he remembered her hatred for him.Whether she forgot the previous resentment from the first sight of Nina or still the hate lingers around her heart, he had to confirm them before he put his belief in her and focus on Nina completely while showing his back to Sally.“I saved Daemon? Hehehe” Sally chortled after responding to Tejasv in a hysterical taunt. This statement alarmed Tejasv and he frowned with a slight twitch. He squinted his eyes and glanced at the Daemon to signal him to be on the defensive without advertising his anxiety externally.Sally resumed after ceasing her laughte
Tejasv and Daemon both had aloof and nonchalant expressions on their faces as if nothing of concern happened in those few fractions of seconds when some arrows took out those fearsome monsters with ease.Noticing the piercing gazes of the robed duo, Tejasv waved his hands to them smoothly with a soft yet incomprehensible smile. He steps forward towards the duo with his arms relaxed, to drop the tensions in the ambience.The robed duo unaware of the situation cautiously took a stance and firmly fixed their weapons to strike back if necessary to which Tejasv didn't respond either positively or rebelled. He knew his team may seem suspicious to an outsider in such a bloody and ruthless world.On the other hand, Tejasv considered the behaviour and comeback of the duo normal and even better than some blinded people, who would regard others as a saviour after only first glance. To be prepared and counter, these are the basics to survive in most circumstances.Tejasv reigned his steps a few
The robed duo kept an eye on Tejasv to see which direction he was pointing at the snipers. They had their eyes widening at Tejasv’s figure, who was standing still and peering at the robed duo themselves.His eyes weren’t wavering or watching somewhere else, as if his men were around everywhere, prepared to trample them at any moment. The robed duo were shocked by what was happening in front of them.When the robed duo couldn't notice any changes in the area and no one came out from anywhere, they began to be perplexed, and their inner turmoil heightened even more as the seconds passed.Suddenly, when the robed duo rolled their eyes to scrutinise their surroundings, they noticed two silhouettes walking toward them from afar. For starters, they mistook those two for members of another party rather than Tejasv and Daemon's snipers.The only reason for that could be the number of people approaching them and the distance they were from them. It was difficult for the robed duo to imagine th
Tejasv, after a momentary contemplation in his head, blurted out while scrutinising the robed duo. He said, "What is it, now, about that strange behaviour of the spider?"The robed duo stood silently and shook their heads without any word from their mouth. The one with the manly voice stepped up and conversed, "Not here!" He hinted about the surroundings and resumed, "This place is too open for us to talk about anything!"Tejasv’s eyes widen, and a taunting smirk gradually creeps onto his face. He realised the robed duo were wary of the snipers, whom they presumed to be guarding the safety of Tejasv and Daemon from somewhere hidden around the area.Tejasv, on the other hand, remained silent and only glanced at Daemon; both of them understood the robed duo's intentions and concerns. Because Tejasv and Daemon might kill both of the robed men once they have the information they require, they wanted to relocate to a safe and well-known location.Aside from these concerns, Tejasv also saw t
In the end, Daemon finally ended the misery of the spider with his wild and broad muscles. He gradually stood back on his feet and relaxed his breathing while calming his drained state from this sudden, extensive labour.Then he looked to the front and saw Tejasv standing there with a slight distance and a wide gaze fixed on him. Tejasv was peering at him, while the former responded similarly and paused in those moments.Tejasv even had his eyes slightly wet from the last state he remembered Daemon lying before him. He appeared to be dying at any moment because the spider was about to go into a complete frenzy to eliminate him.However, his friend appeared in front of him after counter-eliminating the monster in a frenzy for him. Daemon also had similar feelings leaking from his eyes because he knew what he experienced, and Tejasv just saved him in the nick of time.Both had enough to say, but not even a word was coming out of their mouths. Tejasv and Daemon both nod and step towards
As the battle between Tejasv and the spider continued with Salina’s backing of arrows, the pressure on the monster intensified from the number game played by Team Tejasv with their vigorous strength.Gradually, Tejasv and Salina’s attacks withered the exoskeleton of the spider. It even fell to the floor with no chance to retaliate against those two. When the spider realises it has no choice but to overthrow this situation, it lashes out in a frenzy.The spider swings the rest of its limbs with ferocity and abruptness while thrashing them all over. Its intentions were clear: to land some heavy blows on Tejasv since it had no other plan but to dash away from this situation.Another cause behind such trancelike behaviour could be defending itself from the incoming barrage of arrows. The spider must have thought that by moving around in unpredictable ways, it could avoid the arrows and prevent the archer from marking the spider.However, the spider had no clue about the skill of the arche
Tejasv and Salina had a short conversation when Salina enhanced her skill to a better one, which was able to use the features of both [search] and [chaser strike].That was the moment to mechanise the way Salina may use the skill, which should handle the use of this skill more appropriately and better than Sally. As a result, Tejasv and Salina talked things out, and Tejasv then suggested a method to her, which elevated her talent as a sniper to new heights.Tejasv suggested to Salina that she may aim for a target and mark him with her skills. Then he asked her to act differently than Sally. Tejasv instructed her to strike her arrow in a different direction rather than releasing it to the target she had targeted with her skills.Because her ability would direct and hover the arrow on its own, it will take a curve and strike the target with a different path after releasing the arrow. Even if someone tried to find the location of Salina, these events would lead to a different origin poin
As the spider began to repeatedly attack Tejasv, Catherine and Salina were rather a in relief since Daemon was now out of danger for a few moments, but when they realised Tejasv had no weapons in his arms, they were frightened.Whether the spider was in his straight head or not, its attacks were enough to paste a human with a single blow on the right mark. Tejasv was in definite danger because he had nothing to fend off the strikes of the spider.Not only that the spider was somewhat in a hurry to end Tejasv, and because of these reasons, it used every ounce of strength within him to stomp him on the floor when facing no resistance from him.The spider gradually realised that Tejasv had nothing with him that could threaten or halt its aggression toward him; therefore, the spider was now on a killing spree for Tejasv. It cackled in rage and resumed attacking Tejasv.However here, Catherine, and Salina, along with the robed men, could see Tejasv wisely moving in Daemon's opposite direct
Salina, when she got a permit from Catherine, aimed for the spider’s front legs since its head and the rest of its body was covered by a tough armoured exoskeleton. She intended to put an end to the spider's frenzy of pursuing Daemon.She shot another arrow for the next limb of the spider as soon as she marked it and invoked her skill while releasing the arrow to definitely stop it in that position and give Tejasv more time in that strenuous task.When those arrows struck the spider, it became stuck in that position because two of its limbs, which had previously allowed it to crawl toward the Daemon, were rendered useless by the arrows, which appeared out of nowhere and attached to the floor.Tejasv sighed with relief and smirked slightly. He was drenched in sweat from the intense and laborious task he had taken over. He had to pull a monster whose mouth had been salivating over a certain target.Tejasv tensed every muscle in his body in an attempt to stop the spider from moving any f
The agitated and perplexed ones were not only team Tejasv but also the robed duo. Though they had no dismay for the spider’s strange actions, they had more concern for Tejasv and his companion, Daemon, who was in a hopeless state.When Dameon fell and faced a sudden attack from the spider, they lost all hope of him surviving, regardless of whether Tejasv intervened or someone else struck the spider, because the monster was intent on eating Daemon whether anyone approached him or not.When they least expected it, Tejasv not only disturbed the spider’s balance but also leapt before it to rescue his friend from the spider’s clutches. Tejasv threw Daemon back and stood in his position in these circumstances.Anyone with such a trained body and mind could assess the situation and its severity. The robed duo agreed that the spider's fangs on Daemon would inevitably bite Tejasv instead and that Tejasv could've known about it before jumbling into the fray.Even then, Tejasv leapt to rescue hi
