Chapitre 52: Comfort with the enemy group. (2)
Emily began to detail the benefits of the set she was wearing meticulously: "The boots, for instance, contribute 10 points to agility and 7 to stamina." She paused, wearing a confused expression, unable to fully grasp the relevance of this information. Nevertheless, she decided to continue, "The set also provides notable bonuses, such as with the bow..." Emily was about to continue when she was abruptly interrupted by Lucca, who exclaimed:
"Enough! There's no need to continue. I just wanted to know the stats!" Lucca rushed, revealing some disappointment with the additional bonuses she had mentioned, expecting something more significant, like an increase of 20 stat points.
Alice cast a sympathetic look at Lucca, realizing the urgency of the situation. "Lucca, do not underestimate the benefits provided by the set, in addition to the bonuses! Be careful!"
Still impatient, Lucca shook his head. "Ok, ok. But we need a quick strategy. What are their weaknesses? Any vulnerabilities we can exploit?"
Alice, displaying a determined expression, began a meticulous analysis. "We have to protect Emily; after all, that bow can make all the difference in battle, considering the damage boost. Moreover, we have the numerical advantage, which is excellent."
The group is now preparing for the imminent battle, focusing on a strategy that leveraged not only their individual skills but also the perceived weaknesses in their opponents.
Lucca nodded, absorbing the information with satisfaction, the glow of confidence reflecting in his smile. "So, let's go. Let's show everyone what we're capable of." With a meticulously planned strategy, Lucca's group advanced determinedly, while David's group positioned defensively, taking advantage of their newly acquired equipment sets.
This scenario initiated the attack, and Lucca's group returned to the offensive upon realizing the movement of the other group. David, recognizing the need for action, shouted, "Choose your opponents, separate, and run! We need to split!" His words carried a carefully thought-out plan to face the situation, considering this division as the best tactic.
Obeying the orders, the group dispersed, running in various directions. Each member carefully chose the side they deemed most advantageous to face their specific opponent.
Lucca and the other members were momentarily indecisive about how to proceed until someone, with an urgent tone, exclaimed, "Catch them! We can't let them escape!" That person was Anthony.
Driven by determination, Anthony realized that David was about to flee. He immediately set off in pursuit, fueling the desire for revenge. However, David, as cunning as ever, set up an ambush that made Anthony retreat, thus creating space for his own escape.
Along the vast battlefield, Emily and Nolan, tireless, pursued the assassin, while Ana, Ivy, and Alice, as a cohesive unit, launched themselves into the pursuit of the lancer. This time, the group successfully contained the lancer's escape, leveraging numerical superiority to impose obstacles in their path.
While observing the individual choices of each member in whom to pursue, Lucca decided to follow David. The logic behind this decision lay in the need to prevent Anthony from facing David alone, in a challenging 1 vs 1 duel. Unwilling to risk an uncertain bet on Anthony's victory, the most pragmatic solution was to provide support to his colleague. With determined strides, he ran toward David and Anthony. Meanwhile, David continued to try to distance himself, with Anthony persistently in pursuit.
The dynamics of the battle took a significant turn when Lucca finally reached the scene. David, upon realizing the presence of his adversary, interrupted his escape and engaged in an intense exchange of blows with Anthony. He confidently exclaimed, "Excellent! The people I wanted to kill have come after me. At least you save me the trouble of going after you!" David's challenging tone reflected his self-confidence, fueled by the additional benefits of the set he was wearing.
Anthony, fueled by the anger of being betrayed by the very group chosen by the academy, still puzzled by how this happened, responded with unwavering determination: "Haha! Dreaming? You're the one who's dreaming!" Without a moment's hesitation, Anthony swung his sword toward David. David, defending with his sword, counterattacked, but Anthony skillfully evaded the strike. Simultaneously, Lucca launched a shockwave towards David, but, unfortunately, he adeptly dodged both attacks.
In the midst of the turmoil, Anthony, seeking a more peaceful resolution, proposed: "How about we settle this more calmly? Just tell me who's behind this, and we can find a solution together."
David sarcastically laughed and said, "Ah, now you want a peaceful conversation? That's not going to happen. You're in my way, and I don't have time for games." The exchange of blows continued, while Lucca tried to find a strategic opening to intervene.
Determined, Anthony retorted, "If you don't want to talk, then I'll make you talk by force!" The three continued their intense battle, with Anthony determined to uncover the truth behind the order to kill.
As the tension escalated, the three warriors danced in a deadly choreography. The imminent outcome of this intense battle seemed to decide the fate of their lives. David, amid arrogant laughter, challenged, "Do you really think I'll give away my secrets so easily? Well, if you want to know so badly, you'll have to defeat me first!" The battlefield reached the peak of intensity, with the three fighters dedicated to tirelessly pursuing their objectives.
