Villain's Valor: A Noble Fantasy Resurrection

Chapter 38: Mission E (6)

I felt alive, I felt incredible right now. There were only those bastards and me, in a battle for survival. Now they are weaker than me; their number is no joke. They always come from everywhere, never stopping. It's perfect for me. They can come more if they want, I don't care. "My blood flowed through my body; I was as happy as I was."

Slash!

I felt the number of enemies increasing to my right, at the top. Another large number of monsters were coming, but they are weaker than the "happy" ones. Their number keeps increasing. My clothes are covered in blood; black is black. Those bastards are smaller, about 1 meter, I would say. They have 4 arms and very creepy human faces. I know who they are: "faceless," another type of monster that inhabits zone 1. Perfect, let them keep living. Going down the small slope I created, they come straight towards me. I prepare to counterattack, but around me...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

I hear explosions around me. There's fire, fire! I look at the direction of the explosions and am surprised to see more people helping me. Quickly, I look in the direction where I left Elsa and see her next to another girl, blonde with a priestess robe. Under the tree, there was a mature woman with brown hair and a wizard hat. And three more men, one with a shield, another with a sword, and the last one with daggers.

I was so focused that I didn't realize there were more people around me. Analyzing the situation quickly, I realize that they might have brought the "faceless" with them, but instead of leaving, they decided to help. Apparently, they are good people. I think. Seeing that Elsa is fine and nods her head, it confirms to me that they are on our side. I sigh, I lost control of myself. I was so focused on those bastards, and I lost track of time. If they were other people, they could easily have taken Elsa and left me here with all these monsters.

I made a serious mistake. Squeezing the hilt of my sword tighter, I repeat to myself not to make the same mistake again.

Boom!

Looking back, I realize that the three men were able to approach me.

"Hello, kid, let us help you, okay?" says the man with the shield. In his left hand, he had an axe; it can't be seen because the shield is too big.

"My name is Reynolds, leader of the 'Black Apple' group. Sorry for bringing you more trouble, but let us fix our mistake."

I nod. "My name is Bryan. We'll talk about that later; right now, we have a problem."

"Alright, Eduardo and David, battle position."

I observe how Reynolds goes to the front and charges forward again, the other two at his sides covering his back. I am surprised. It's a good technique to face a large number of creatures. Facing them with his large shield takes a significant part, although they have a blind spot at the back. So, seeing that their technique is effective, I cover their blind spot. Quickly, I perform my footwork and position myself behind them.

Boom! Slash!

Cutting the bastards from behind, we advance forward. Reynolds, being the team's tank, withstands more pressure. Eduardo, although his movement is slow, is lethal. I realize that a 2-star sword handling doesn't have footwork; it's slow to react, but it can defend. David handles a pair of daggers; the team's assassin is fast. Unlike Eduardo, he has a 2-star footwork but no sword handling. Sword handling includes axes, spears, and daggers, but it is mostly known as sword handling.

"Well done, kid. Thanks for covering us from behind," says Reynolds.

He seems like a good guy. "Don't worry about it. Let's finish off those bastards."

"Let's do it!"

Each focuses on their part they have to do. On my side, as we are surrounded, I have the entire back for myself.

BOOM!

A projectile of ice impacts beside me and pierces through a dwarf. I see Elsa smiling from ear to ear. Clearly, she is proud to be of help.

Slash!

Cutting my enemies, I focus again on my duty. The "faceless," being small, I need to make a low attack. Putting my left foot forward, I grip the hilt with some force.

Slash!

Although it has its advantages, it's easier to cut off their heads. Performing my footwork, I disappear from my position and move my sword. First, it's diagonal from the right, accompanied by the same foot. I spin my body, and now, with the force propelling me, I make an attack from the left. Thus, giving another spin to my body, at the moment of finishing the last movement, I make a jump with the force accumulated throughout the trajectory and make an attack in the air.

BOOM! BOOM!

With a vertical attack, my sword coated with aura makes another crater, but this one is larger. I perform my footwork, and the slaughter begins again.

Slash!

Moving my sword with my right hand, I toss it into the air and hit the face with my fist.

Bang!

His head explodes, and I catch the sword in my hand in the air, giving a 180-degree turn, cutting in half a few more.

BOOM! BOOM!

The mage woman is a great help; her attacks are powerful, taking care of a large majority. The atmosphere filled with darkness lights up with her spells, although the burnt flesh has an unpleasant smell.
