(MC POV)
The Hero was holding a sword with both hands while pointing it menacingly at Diao Chan, her companions all gathered behind to support her.
Ironically, aside from the fact that the Hero was using a longsword instead of a sword and shield, the rest of her party was similar to Eris's.
Similar to Eris's party, they also had a berserker using a greatsword alongside a mage, an archer and also a priest too, making it a balanced, all-rounder party.
The king, still serving as Diao Chan's chair, roared out in defiance, "How dare you?! You're just some peasant who got a little bit of power! Do you think that gives you the right to talk like that to Mistress?! Feng Xian!!"
The prince leapt in front of the hero after being called, his halberd held in both hands to point towards her.
"You think you can just drop in here and challenge Mistress so easily?! You have to get through me first!" He growled before charging towards her.
I guess the friendship power didn't work here because there isn't really any friendship to begin with?
