Chapter 27: Invasion (Part 2)
Sirin:
One of the tents, near the right wall.
"Lady No.6… Lady No.6… please wake up. We need you quickly… we're under attack."
I spoke loudly with a trembling voice in front of Lady Dark's tent.
"Ummh… what is it? Why are you shouting like that, Sirin?"
She moved the blanket and looked at my face, shocked. "Hmm… why are you looking at me like that?"
"Lady No.6… Lady No.6, your clothes… you're not wearing any clothes!" I covered my face before her seductive curves.
"You're joking, right?" She looked at her alluring naked body, which was full in all places except the waist.
"Eeeeh…." she screamed and quickly ran back to her room.
"You're always like this, how careless you are. Ah… but how I envy you for that body." I said as I looked at my chest.
I was 1.60 meters tall, with short brown hair that only reached my neck. I had a body not worth envying.
My chest was a work of art, my curves had not even formed though I am now twenty-six years old.
What does No.11 like about me? All the mercenary women can't be compared to her.
"Come in, Sirin." said Dark after she finished wearing her usual clothes.
Dark, with her long black hair reaching her waist, and her black robe with golden edges, sat down.
"What is it, Sirin? We're under attack? By whom?" she asked me, her face red with embarrassment.
"Oh… Lady No.6, don't you have a skill to determine what we're facing right now? Also, this isn't the time for chatting, for god's sake!"
"Ehhh… right." Dark raised her staff and cast a Rank C skill.
"[Mana Ability] – Mana Detection Skill."
Her black eyes shone brightly as she looked around for a moment.
She stood up in shock, her breathing rising, and cold sweat dripping down her back.
"What's wrong, Lady No.6?" I waved my hand in front of No.6's face but she didn't respond.
So I said, "Sorry, Lady No.6. Snap out of your shock, you're the mage here, what a shameful act."
I raised my hand and sent it to her cheek.
That slap made her wake up from her shock.
"Thank you, Sirin. What I knew was that something strange was happening in the forest, but not to this extent."
"Has the right deputy, Dran, returned from his exploration of the forest?" asked No.6 with a bluish face.
"No, Lady No.6. The right deputy, Dran, hasn't returned since a week ago. I don't want to think too much, but I fear that he…" I lowered my gaze toward the ground.
"Don't say that… the deputy isn't that weak of a person. Surely he'll return. And now, we'll go to the right wall, it needs us badly." said No.6 as she lifted my head, and we looked into each other's eyes.
"Yes, you're right." I smiled, I believe there's hope in the situation we're in.
"Hold onto me tightly."
"[Mana Ability] – Flash Step Skill."
No.6 cast a Rank C skill and we disappeared from the tent.
Selin:
Mercenary Camp, Right Wall, a few minutes before Sirin met Dark.
"[Fire Summon Ability] – Fire Arrows!" I cast a Rank C skill toward a group of wolves that surrounded me.
I killed one wolf quickly and burned those around me.
"Tch! They don't end. Damn them, die!" I sent fire arrows as if they were arrows of my hatred.
"Hahaha… don't be like that, Selin. If you keep acting like this, no one will marry you."
Rafos cut through a line of wolves with his large sword enhanced by [Metal Enhancement Ability].
"What did you say? I didn't hear you well, I'm too busy on my side. You seem to be enjoying yourself over there. It must be nice having metallic skin; you won't get a scratch."
"Well… kind of. But my fun is about to end." He looked into the dark forest with eager eyes.
"Yes… but there are too many of them. I don't think we can hold out. We need help." she said without arrogance.
"That… we can't decide ourselves… [Metal Enhancement Ability] – Iron Skin Skill, [Metal Enhancement Ability] – Iron Fist Skill."
Rafos sent his fist toward the face of a White Night Wolf that charged at him at high speed and bit his left arm.
He punched the White Night Wolf, sending it flying out of the camp.
"Impressive… very clever wolves. You're trying to surround me, because speed won't help anymore."
He looked around to find four White Night Wolves.
"Rafos! Help here!" she said with fear on her face as I tried to cast a Rank C skill, [Fire Pillar].
The targeted White Night Wolf dodged it and lunged toward me. I retreated backward and launched another skill.
"[Fire Summon Ability] – Massive Fireball Skill."
Despite my attempt, unfortunately, they had judged me as weak, enough for one of the White Night Wolves to dare to use its skill.

Rafos:
As soon as Selin called me for help, I turned to her—but the moment I turned, I saw with my own eyes her head being bitten off.
In rage, I stabbed the wolf in its stomach with my large sword.
But the wolf dodged by a hair's breadth from my blade.
Another one came and sent its claw toward me.
With all bravery, I charged toward it with a sword swing, intending to cut its head off—but another wolf appeared from my side and attacked me so fast that I stepped back, and it failed in its ambush.
"Tch… five are more than enough for me. At this rate, my mana will run out, and I'll die." I thought.
"Hmm…" I smiled when I looked at an area in the right wall bending and forming a vortex.
"Your lady is here. Thanks to everyone who gave their life, and now, leave everything to me."
"[Mana Ability] – Slow Time Skill."
"[Mana Ability] – Ice Age Skill."
"[Mana Ability] – Stone Arrows Skill."
"[Mana Ability] – Wind Arrows Skill."
