If you could say the other melee fighter was putting on a mesmerizing act of combat.

Our trio... Are putting on a scene soo fake it's a wonder how they are still alive.

"..."'

'You need to hit harder than that! Gem had to jump back after your hit when gem realized you can't even break their skin. Throw your sword behind you, gem will handle the rest.'

"Do you think this is easy to do? I've tried so hard and only killed 5 of them."

The water elemental said as she threw her sword to the back. All of a sudden magically one of the wolves ran up and got hit dead center. Too bad it wasn't strong enough to penetrate. So gem has to jump again and do a backflip.

"..."

'we need a new plan like fast! I can control 10 of them to make it look like you're surrounded no problem. Anytime a new wolf tries to enter I will control it and let another one go. But if we keep this up, eventually people will get suspicious.'

"I don't know, just think of something and I will follow along."

Yes, our water elemental quickly got into trouble.

Power.

Every level gives a bonus in overall strength and makes fighting monsters of a higher level easier. Although these wolves are level 5, they are only three levels apart from the water elemental. Making it hard for her to penetrate to kill. Unless they get lucky and cooperate to hit the eye or the sensitive parts of the body, most places are fairly resistant to stabs and cuts.

"..."

'Gem has an idea. So far we've been using The illusion trick to make it look like the wolves are naturally missing you and somehow always throwing themselves to your blade. Why can't there be an illusion where they fight each other, then look nearly dead afterwards and you stab them straight through the eye.'

"I don't know but it doesn't matter right now. Just do it!"

"..."

'All right!'

And just like that, as if the wolves had a sudden agreement. The wolves started to act like they were drunk and attacks other wolfs behind them. Naturally the wolves behind wouldn't take a bite for no reason. soon infighting ensued as our water elemental ran across doing her best to stab the eyes of any fallen wolf in what looked like a glamorous display of illusory prowess.

This continued until she had killed 13 of them before one of the four leaders took notice and called another one of the four leaders to attack her together.

This is a pack after all, solo fights are not their thing.

But even with that logic, they soon were controlled and put on a play. From a few light stabs here and there by the water elemental to make a scene of them looking like they are dying.

And then the anticlimactic eye shove to finish them off.

Grass horned wolves full of power... Reduced to puppets putting on a show. They never suffered an actual cut until the sword hit their eye. After that she proceeded to kill a few more wolves.

Once she finally killed 19 of them did she truly exhaust herself and wanted to fall back into the group.

Thankfully with the help of her teammates and the secret assistance from gem. She killed two more wolves to make 21 before sitting down and resting next to the range units.

"You were amazing out there"

"I'll say, you showed your power in the beginning with a little bit of illusion to aim for your sword and avoid you. But then decided to change things up and go full illusion with your sword and make the wolves confused and fight each other to the point of dying."

"Especially the two second in commands, show them your strength and illusion to the point where they were toys laying down on the ground. Begging to die."

"It's great to have you here!"

"Hahaha..."

Time passed by and right when the fight was nearing its climax.

The leader joined the fight!
