Master Of None

Chapter 1308: 1308. Fearless Alice

”Monsterʼs ahead! We need a group to take them out!” The commanding dwarf assigned by the king of the deep called out for a group of golems to volunteer. His scouts had spotted a small pack of heavy fanged boars. They werenʼt too much of a problem but were in the way and very territorial. They were a fairly common monster that was known to charge tusks first at an enemy to take them down.

Other than that they were a commonly hunted monster for hunters looking to make a large meal.

”Thatʼs ours. We will take them down!” Gil volunteered before anyone else were able to speak. ”Donʼt give me that look. I want to eat boar tonight. Plus there should be a decent few of them that we can take down before they realize they canʼt win and run. It will be great.” Midnight reacted with a small roar of challenge.

She heard that they would be for food and that was all they needed to be fired up.

”Actually, I want Alice to take the lead in attacking this time.” Su surprised everyone, including Alice, with this. ”She had been out with us before and mostly been a healer or using buffing effect songs. That wonʼt be enough to keep her alive in a real battle if the ants swarm us and we canʼt get back together.” This will also be her main experience slaying monsters.”

There was a look of fear in Aliceʼs eyes while she breathed faster. She had not gone after monsters by herself and had not had enough training metally to accept it. But she knew that Su would not suggest this to hurt her. It was clearly so that She could grow and become even stronger.

”Iʼll do it.” The moment that Alice solidified her will she found that her mind became clever. She still felt her heart beating faster than average and felt that Walker was keeping a close eye on her. But he stopped manipulating the light elemental mana around her so that she would be able to experience the battle as it truly would be without any help.

”Midnight, use your shadow wrapping skill to stay close. Donʼt let anything happen. You are better at it and can hide without anyone noticing too much.” Walker whispered this to Midnight who completely understood why he was asking this. She also did not want to see anything bad happen while they p[ushed Alice in to the front of this small fight.

The heavy fanged boars that were spotted were still fairly far from the golem army. But it was only a matter of time before they noticed the many marching golems and started to attack. There was no chance of rational thought in these monsters since they cared only about territory and food.

The party split off heading well in front of the army, nearly losing sight of them in the distance. The high grass was a perfect way for them to hide in. ”Go all out. Donʼt let them even breathe. They canʼt hold a candle to your training.” Remey might be the hot head of the group but she knew very well how strong those around her were.

She would not encourage Alice if she didnʼt believe that Alice was much stronger than these opponents. Her words seemed to be the last spur of encouragement Alice needed to open her mouth and start to sing.

The effects that Remey had on Alice seemed to be too telling. Her words came out with a rougher sound making them feel violent. This was a different Alice than everyone was used to. When Alice trained her words were very sweet and still held elegance. But now? They had sharp and rough intent.

The reason was simple behind this, Alice was not training with friends to become stronger. She had realized that she could not be delicate and weak for her entire life. Healing had made her too one sided when it came to the way that she saw the world. She needed to be tougher and make herself the same kind of strong as those she strived to walk beside.

The result was brilliant. The light elemental mana in the air condensed the light in to viscous looking serrated arrows. These were still not controlled due to the intense mental strain that would take, however, when they began to rain down on the pack of heavy fanged boars they did great damage.

Before they dissipated the boars were left with harsh gashes and most were done for before they could attempt to battle back.

As soon as Alice saw that the board could target her she changed songs fluidly. Her rough song creating serrated arrows changed in to one creating five swords of light behind her. The first three boars that charged at her met these swords impaling themselves without much effort from Aliceʼs singing. The next few charged and were also attacked.

But the one that managed to survive was easily dodged by Alice. She had trained very hard to be able to move without losing her focus and singing. On the contrary, her song sped up and her swords reformed faster to battle around her.

”I would say itʼs time for us to join in. the rest of the pack knows we are here.” Gil let loose a flurry of arrows aiming for the hips of the large fanged boars. Remey and Su charged in to team up with Alice since it was clear that the mana was being used fast and Alice would need some rest.

Walker and Midnight jumped in to the fray. Alice was not surprised to suddenly find Midnight nearby. She had pretended not to hear Walker when he had given the order for Midnight to protect her. The remaining fanged boars only lasted minutes. Gil was very right, he had said the remaining would run when they realized they would lose and thatʼs exactly what happened.
