Tejasv and Daemon stood in a defensive stance since Nina declared herself the enemy of everyone present there. She glanced at Ben to ask whether he would be with Nina or if he liked to be with others.She believed herself to be the one who invited Ben into the team, but her belief was destroyed when Ben raised his maul against her. The maul wasn't much bigger than an ordinary hammer, but it had a spiked edge on the other side of the flat surface.Nina’s eyes widen watching Ben against her and siding with Fred since they both passed glances with each other. She couldn't believe that someone who never met another unfamiliar person would side with each other. However Tejasv already had an inkling of a hidden alliance between Fred and Ben, but how and where they formed that alliance, Tejasv didn't know.Even so, the most bewildered one was Nina, since she believed Ben to be on her team. She glanced at Fred with her intimidating vibe. She glared at him but couldn't build up the courage to a
Nina just heard some terrifying, bitter truth about her team, which was formed simply for Fred's future mechanizations and as a stepping stone for his growth. He had plans to rise high and assimilate many new subordinates through other deeds, one way or another.Fred spread his paws all around for him to use whenever he found it necessary or according to his situation. Something similar happened when Nina decided to betray and count him as one of her enemies, hence Fred turned against her and took Ben to his side. Even if they fought together a while ago, now they were against each other.Nina glared at Fred, and her eyes trickled a few tears. She boiled over and her blood ran through her veins vigorously. Her brow scowled and thick veins popped on her forehead. It was evident from her expressions that she would destroy anyone in her path after knowing everything.Besides that, Fred resumed his chuckles since he found the situation interesting and a haughty bitch like Nina could also c
Fred grunted and roared aloud at Daemon. He lunged forward at Daemon, intent on killing him with his knife, while Daemon stood firm against him, fist clenched. Daemon squinted his eyes as he endured the pain in his shoulder and stood tall against Fred.Fred swung his knife at Daemon, yet he missed since Daemon was a proper warrior that went through many different battles. Fred was nothing of the sort to kill Daemon easily, even when he was injured or strained after a challenging duel against Rickey.Daemon still had his instincts ingrained in his head honed through many battles. He turned around with precision since his body didn't have enough strength to dash around swiftly. Daemon moved as accurately as he could and dodged almost every attack on him. He knew even a single attack could harm him more greatly than he could endure with his current capabilities.Tejasv, on the other hand, saw Ben and Nina swing their weapons at each other and gradually reach his position. Nina and Ben gla
Tejasv taunted both Nina and Ben; one was overcome by hysteria, while the other always thinks through his crotch and bloodlust. Tejasv understood their state of mind and strategies to use in his favor. He planned to fight the battle with a calm and straight head while misleading his opponents.Ben and Nina sneered and grunted at Tejasv. Nina grumbles with condemning expressions, whereas Ben smothers his tongue around like a maniac out for blood. He resembled how a thug should normally be. His facial expressions and gaze had the passion of madness through and through.In contrast to Ben, Nina had a blood thirst for revenge, not a desire to kill. She wanted to destroy each person who had a hand in killing Rickey and more of her allies. Her hatred for Fred reached new heights when he revealed to Nina his betrayal of every member of his team.Ben and Nina look forward to Tejasv and even to each other. They all ground their teeth and swung their weapons at their respective opponents. Ben sw
Tejasv stood beside Ben and Nina to contemplate his situation more precisely. From the ongoing battle, he understood Ben was trying to move Nina around for his plans and he used her rage as best he could. Tejasv scoffed and chuckled at Ben's worthy attempt to fool Nina into his trap.He observed the battle closely since he might find an opening to strike one of the enemies before him. Tejasv pondered whether to save Nina or let Ben use the situation to his advantage. He counted his pros and cons before taking any action.Both Ben and Nina had much better conditions compared to Tejasv. He had to read the situation even from Daemon's perspective, while others around him had to see through things for themselves. Ben had much better proportions right now than Daemon, while Nina wasn't much injured or harmed in any way. If any of these marched between the battle of Daemon and Fred, it could spell disaster for Daemon.Until now, Nina had followed Fred until now, and due to his strategies, sh
Watching Daemon in a boxing stance, Fred changed his position to be more firm than before. He at least knew boxing didn't have many techniques to fight against a knife holder. However, what Fred didn't know was that knives don't matter much to a skilled fighter. Weapons don't decide the winner or loser; it depends on the holder of that weapon.Daemon understood that if Fred was a master of knife techniques, then Daemon would be in danger. Yet he knew that Fred wasn't capable enough to threaten Daemon through his knife, but he could damage Daemon through other means such as his schemes and mechanization. For this reason, Daemon tried his best to not let Fred dash away from here.Their fight was already a farce for both of them. The impasse between them was due to their non-usage of skills. Only Daemon had a skill that could undoubtedly grant him stronger strength and body to fight any battles, whereas Fred had a skill that could help him in future schemes but not in fights.The deadlock
While provoking Nina with vicious remarks about her dead companions and the betrayal of Fred, Ben finally noticed her behavior turning wild like a beast with each passing clash between them. Gradually, after observing her patterns, he smirked excitedly when he found an opening between those attacks.Ben took his time to confirm his observation while Tejasv had already noted such changes a few moments ago. When Ben found those regular patterns, he knew his opportunity had arrived at his door to destroy Nina with a single conclusive strike at the right place. He grinned, and now it was the time for him to attack with everything he got.Nina, on the other hand, repeatedly struck Ben with her knives as swiftly and abruptly as she could. She kept growling and roaring while attacking Ben. Her anger rose to the peak of her potential and she lost control over her mental state at that moment.Ben noticed the timing and fended Nina's strikes aside. He raised his maul high and struck vertically w
Tejasv and Ben were taken aback by that sudden change in Nina's behavior. She chortled as she struck Ben with her knives. Until now, her eyes were filled with a wild rage that seeped with each of her attacks; however, that rage has now subsided and turned into hysteria.Her expression changed to absurdity and madness. She slithered her tongue around her face and roared in hysterical laughter. It was hard to distinguish who was more sunken in bloodthirst, Nina or Ben. In the battle up to now, it was Ben who advertised his crazy attitude. However, that behavior transformed into a lingering fear after watching Nina with her turned-out personality.Ben stammered as he threw Nina back while mustering some strength in his muscles, "How did you escape my attack and suddenly stealthy attack from behind? Was that your skill, or did you have some comrade hidden around to help?"His voice stutters while speaking to Nina. The threat that he felt just now with the last clash was still jumbled in hi
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
