Defense Specialization and Breaking Barriers
Sally could feel that her senses were sharper than usual .
And those senses became even sharper as she became absorbed in combat .
It was then that Sally heard the voice of someone who must have been a commander .
The familiar voice was from Frederica, she had no doubt about it .
In other words, these players were from the a . s . sembly of Holy Blades .
Sally started to think of ways to come out of this situation alive .
Sally dodged the first magic attack .
Then the players in the front suddenly changed their movements and began to advance .
It seemed like they all had information about her .
In order to survive, it was necessary for Sally to continue to take the initiative .
She had to be able to control their actions, or she would die in an instant .
“Thank you, Frederica . ”
She said quietly, though she still couldn’t see her . Sally continued to dodge the attacks of the oncoming players .
Hearing those words caused the players to become slower .
It was so unexpected that it caused them to hesitate and panic, making their movements sluggish .
And they had not realized that her power was not finished after two attacks .
However, because she had no support skills, Sally had to dodge all of the oncoming attacks by herself .
“Amazing…everything looks different . ”
Sally was surprised at the change in her awareness .
It was as if the world she was seeing through heavy concentration was now sped up, and the swords that attacked her were slow .
And she could now use the fear sensor, which she had not been able to before, no matter how much she trained .
And she could use it much better than Dread .
She was able to understand all of the danger that approached her as if they were things that happened in the past .
This awakening that occurred when she pa . s . sed her limits had temporarily pushed Sally to new heights .
“I can’t hit her!! d . a . m . n it!”
“I won’t lose . I won’t lose…!”
All of Sally’s attacks landed, on all of the attacks towards her missed their mark .
By the time that Frederica started to feel suspicious over the fact that she had used ‘Attack Guidance’ so repeatedly, Sally had already killed 20 players .
And then Frederica found the answer .
But even if that were the case, the only thing that would remain was the fact that there was nothing that she could do about it .
It just meant that she would not be able to deal with it .
Gradually, the rest of the players came to this horrifying realization as well .
However, there was nothing that they could do .
Sally saw that angrily swung sword come down, and she dodged it .
And it wasn’t just a dodge .
She dodged it at the last possible moment and connected it to a deadly counter attack .
Magic attacks a . s . saulted Sally, but she already had an idea of the timing that they would come .
She put away her weapons and grabbed a player before hurling him into the air .
The magic attacks that were raining from the sky were blocked by the thrown player, leaving the area where Sally stood completely safe .
As there was no friendly fire, the player did not take any damage, but that didn’t mean that Sally didn’t have daggers pointed up for when the player fell back down .
“What kind of monster…!?”
There were still nearly 70 players left, which meant that nearly 30 had been killed .
The fact that was the most certain, was that Sally had done this all by herself, which caused many of the other players to lose heart .
“Oboro, ‘Shadow Clone . ‘”
Sally could not be stingy when it came to using what was in her a . r . s . enal .
She had to constantly think of new, unexpected ways to stop her enemies from being able to think .
“I will survive…and crush you!!”
Sally’s clones ran through the field, but unlike the original, they were quickly killed . But still, for every clone that went down, they dragged an enemy down with them .
And in the meantime, Sally was trying to break through their walls in order to survive .
A single sword stabbed into Sally’s back .
Cheers rose from the players at the first blow that had actually landed .
The illusion that had been made with ‘Mirage’ disappeared into thin air .
Everything she did was unexpected .
She was a big enough threat, that even Frederica, who had only been calling out orders at first, had to enter the fight .
In fact, had Sally not been awakened through breaking through her limits, this fight would have been long over .
It was necessary for Sally to exceed her limits in order for her to break through their trap, and there was a need for the enemy to prevent Sally from exceeding her limits .
Frederica looked at Sally as if she could not believe what she was seeing .
Not even one hit could land on her .
If only she would be off by a few millimeters, she could hit her, but even those few millimeters seemed so far away .
Even Sally could not risk dealing any reckless attacks, which meant that the rate that players died was slow, but they were still being killed all the same .
Frederica had chosen this spot as there were many obstacles to hide behind, but now it was all to Sally’s advantage in her bid to survive .
“Tsk…my pursuers have caught up with me . ”
The players that had been chasing Sally joined the fray as a third party .
Sally was aware of this as she dodged Frederica’s magic attacks .
Her legs stopped moving, and suddenly, her knees buckled and fell to the ground .
Sally had somehow dodged all of the falling fire bullets but then collapsed right after them . The enemy surrounded her cautiously, but securely .
The only reason that they did not attack her immediately, was because they were afraid that she would do something unexpected again .
Especially as she had already killed so many of them .
Sally was moving past what should have been possible .
It was not something that could last for long .
Sally saw Frederica and the others make a tight circle around her, and she muttered quietly .
“I won’t lose the next time . ”
“‘Multi-Fire Bullets . ‘”
Frederica chanted, and an explosive sound erupted .
But it wasn’t from Frederica’s magic .
The sky filled with flames, and something fell at a tremendous speed, a tail of smoke streaked behind it like a comet .
It fell between Frederica and Sally .
In the next instant, the light of the fire bullets blinded everyone who was watching .
When the light faded, the person who slowly stood up was a girl with white wings and black armor .
“I won’t let you . Never . ”
