What would that be?

The image of the skill magically generated in his head, without Reno having to say anything. Aor's son stood at the center, his eyes closed, playing an imaginary instrument with the fervor of a superstar. All around, the enemies were bent over and clutching their bleeding ears.

My song affects enemies and immobilizes them with strong sound waves. This is my greatest power, but using it drains me and I can't control who I hit.

So I would become a target too, I understand.

Shirei tried to block the connection to the tenebrae for a moment and focus on the battle. There were still some doubts that he intended to resolve through this battle, but he feared that he would not be able to do so due to the constant pressure from the orcs.

Reno, get away from me and attract as many orcs as possible.

So they'll kill me?

The help of the Equinox Flowers could have proved very useful in that situation and would have greatly speeded up the battle.

No, so you can use your ability without stopping me from fighting.

Do you want me to… Shirei's idea traveled through the two's connection, Very… astute.

Shirei forced his brain to shut down and erect a barrier with the tenebrae, so he could keep his concentration on the melee.

He exited the Interworld like a demon, mutilating the leg of the first enemy. The orc screamed in pain, but Shirei had already moved on to the next enemy.

He slipped briefly on the almost muddy ground and stood up, giving himself a push with his bent leg at the same time.

Reno's voice, pure and melodious, rose above the din of battle, weaving a magical song through the air. The notes transformed into waves of energy that immediately attracted the monsters' attention. The creatures designated him as their new prey and advanced in his direction.

"Come cursed! You have a front row ticket to your last song!"

Reno channeled mana through his voice, amplifying it and making it possible for everyone to hear it, despite the clang of weapons and the guttural sounds of monsters.

Can he even speak normally? Shirei realized.

He took stock of the information and returned to the fight.

The son of Aor, using his innate ability, began to sing with devastating power. His voice rose above the sounds of the clash, making the very earth tremble. After a few moments, all kinds of words were written in the air and an electric sound caused the surrounding air to vibrate. The sound waves, full of energy, developed from Reno as if he was a point source. They spread in every direction and hit their enemies, causing excruciating pain that forced them to clasp their hands over their ears. The nearest monsters screamed in agony as their eardrums exploded.

Shirei, called into action by Reno's sonic assault, tried to ignore the noise and returned to the fight. His black blade slashed through the air like acid lightning, striking anyone within its range with lethal precision. Each movement was a step that contributed to the dance of death constructed by Shirei in a more than meticulous way.

Suddenly, two blurry figures appeared on the horizon, ready to support their fellow companion. With a decisive wave of her right arm, the smaller figure hurled a wave of darkness towards Reno, engulfing him in black.

"Shirei!" Rutia's daughter shouted, raising her right arm already shrouded in pulsating shadows.

The two Equinox Flowers ran to the battle area, where they prepared to silence the noise of Reno's skill.

"These guys are going to kill me now!"

Calm down, Cragar's son replied, before calling to his two companions.

"He is with me."

Havel made a contorted expression, "What?"

"The one who's singing! He's on our side!"

The two nodded and fearlessly entered the fray.

Ada moved with agility, brandishing her pair of blades, her dark eyes determined to cut through the first monsters that would appear before her. With a battle cry, Havel charged at the monsters, his axes piercing the chest of a strange, serpentine-looking creature. The son of Sidal raised his weapons again with a roar, he had just begun.

"Come on!"

With a powerful blow, he struck down an orc wearing the pelt of a strange demonic wolf, shattering its skull in one go.

The monsters tried to overwhelm them with their numbers, but the demigods' skill and the pair's synergy posed a problem for the creatures.

Shirei, meanwhile, called back his ghostly harpies who, after appearing from the Interworld, hurled themselves at the small goblins in order to quickly eliminate them. The sharp claws and sharp beaks tore the flesh of the monsters, while every noise mixed with Reno's enchanting song. The battle was intense, but thanks to the tenebrae, the Equinox Flowers seemed to be stronger than ever.

Shirei felt mana flow through his silver vessels, permeating every fiber of his being with celestial energy and making him more powerful. With a wave of his hand, he directed his harpies into a wave that engulfed a group of monsters, victims fallen into a dark whirlwind that they would not be able to survive.

"Ada, left!" Havel shouted, noticing a monster trying to attack her from behind. Rutia's daughter quickly spun around, one of her swords reflecting the sunlight blinding the creature, while the other pierced its heart.

Reno, without interrupting his song, sent a message to Shirei, but Cragar's son shielded the message with his mind.

A pang in his sternum forced the demigod to fall to the ground as he felt his energy being drained.

It's not mana, what happened?

Reno's voice attacked Shirei's mental barrier again, and this time he let him pass.

Ah, so you let your subordinates die like this? The tenebrae asked.

Cragar's son looked up, What happened?

An orc killed me, again.

Silence, So tenebrae can die?

No! I'm healing, but holy Cragar, is that even possible? Protect me!

Shirei saw some monsters raise their weapons towards him and was forced to use the etheric pulse to avoid taking damage. It was then that he felt a second pang in his body. The technique was canceled halfway through and a bloody cut appeared in his lower chest.

I'm low on mana.

Havel stepped in front of the boy and shouted mightily. Cragar's son watched the strange crimson aura cover him and recognized the ability. He was using 'bloodlust'.

The leader of the Equinox Flowers struck his enemies forcefully and scolded him: "Don't just stand there! I'll take care of these, you go and help Ada!"
