This battle did not look very good, little by little we were losing our companions, even though we were much stronger than those beasts, those portals never stopped summoning creatures and we were not able to approach them or shoot them with something heavy to destroy them.

That Dark Sorcerer protects those portals very well.

I had an idea in mind but I didn't know how to execute it correctly, there was no clear situation to do it.

While I was fighting I saw how a companion was impaled between 3 beasts with their weapons and they continued stabbing him on the ground and then began to eat him alive.

For a small moment, I felt afraid.

The idea of leaving in the middle of all this battle crossed my mind... I really didn't want to have a death like that, the idea scared me...

The attack of a beast brought me back to reality, I blocked the attack while looking around.

I am not so...

I can't sit still waiting for them to slaughter us, I have to do something.

I decided to execute the plan I had in mind.

At one point I signaled to the girls so they understood that we would attempt a small coordinated attack to take down the Dark Sorcerer.

I finished cutting off the head of the beast I was struggling with, I made a sign to Saga to look up, she looked and understood, I ran towards her, Saga finished tearing off the arm of a beast and stabbed its eyes with their daggers. After that he joined his arms and gave me a great push with his strength upwards, I managed to catch the leg of one of the flying beasts, it began to shake too much, I swung and climbed on top of it, I stabbed the beast in the back with my sword and tried to direct it towards the Dark Sorcerer. while it was heading towards him, the Dark Sorcerer attacked me with a kind of cut, I made a jump towards the Dark Sorcerer, the flying beast was cut in half by that cut, as I fell towards him, I tried to cut him with my sword, but he activated his shield and my sword was blocked, at that moment Alba saw an opportunity from below, she cut the throat of one of the beasts, took the beast's spear and threw it towards the Dark Sorcerer from behind, he activated an ethereal form and the spear passed through him as if nothing had happened and continued on its way.

However, all that was just a decoy.

Saga activated his werewolf ability and gained overwhelming strength and speed.

She ran looking to propel herself into something, all the trees were destroyed because the Dark Sorcerer had destroyed almost all the trees surrounding the battlefield to specifically prevent that type of attack. Saga did not lose his cool and quickly ran towards the camp wall, he jumped towards the wall, he gained momentum and due to the monstrous strength he had, he left a large crater in part of the wall, but thanks to that he pushed himself forward incredible speed.

The Dark Sorcerer did not have the reflexes to react and was met with Saga's fist in the air.

The Dark Sorcerer was thrown downwards, making a large crack in the earth due to the impact, he was somewhat dizzy, when he trying to stand up again, Alba appeared in front of him and buried a sword in his throat. The Dark Sorcerer did not lose his calm and stretched his hand below Alba.

Out of nowhere, Alba was pierced by a black sword on her shoulder. She managed to react in time and jumped back to get out of that situation, but the sword managed to pierce part of her armor until it reached her shoulder.

When she realized what had attacked her from below, she was surprised; it was a shadow of herself.

The Dark Sorcerer summoned that shadow by aiming below it.

The shadow did not give her time to rest and continued attacking her.

When the Dark Sorcerer was about to recover, Saga appeared behind him in an instant and in a single movement with his arm pierced his chest and took out his heart due to his great strength.

Unknown: Impossible...

This one started vomiting blood.

However, the Dark Sorcerer still had tricks in store, he made a strange seal with his hands and pointed towards the heart that Saga had in his hands.

Saga's hand was pierced by the heart he had taken out, thorns had emerged all over the heart.

Had her heart attacked her...? It wasn't something more...

Saga made a gesture of pain and with a sudden movement he managed to throw the heart to the ground.

Something dark began to form from the heart... An armor began to form from the heart... A dark knight? Without giving Saga time, he began to attack her.

How the hell is that Dark Sorcerer still alive if his heart is outside? That meant he was immortal or had more than one heart.

When I was clear about my objective, I activated my energy and with a quick impulse I reached him and used my "Fulminating Lunge" my attack entered the opposite side of his chest, when I stabbed him the wave of electrical energy was released in a straight line and crossed his chest , his other heart exploded.

When I thought he had finally died, he tried to say a few words but couldn't because Alba had pierced his neck a few moments ago.

With the little strength he had he put his hand on his throat, dark magic glowed and then he spoke a few words.

Unknown: His abode in darkness;

In light of that reason he forgot.

with a firm voice and a fearless heart

I call upon the shadow of the ancient lord.

From the hidden, beyond the veil;

Come to me, the calling that I have revealed to you.

Make a wish, O ancestral shade;

And make my final will at your command.

So be it.

Out of nowhere a portal formed behind me and a black arm with a sword attacked me from it, I managed to dodge it in time but a kick came out of the portal and sent me flying away.

Damn... Is this Dark Sorcerer really immortal?

I looked towards the Dark Sorcerer and a completely black entity had emerged from the portal, it was quite tall humanoid in shape and had a black sword, but it writhed incredibly horribly as it walked.

I got up, when I wanted to think about what to do, that entity began to attack me immediately.

I started fighting her while dodging and attacking, when I managed to cut her she quickly regenerated...

It was impossible, I started getting some cuts because that entity wouldn't stop attacking me.

When I was about to be stabbed, some of my colleagues appeared to help me, thanks to them I managed to get away from the entity for a moment.

But in a fleeting movement he threw them incredibly far from us, several beings similar to him came out of his chest and headed towards my companions, he continued attacking me but now his size had decreased when he summoned those creatures.

He was now the same size as me.

At one point I did my "Flashing Lunge" and went through his head, my sword was overloaded and he began to receive his paralyzing start despite being an entity.

Stolen novel; please report.

However, he managed to break the paralysis and with one of his hands he took my sword and broke it in half... Damn.

He took out the part that was stuck in his head and attacked me with it because I was very close, I managed to stop his stab that was heading towards my abdomen, but at that moment he took advantage and headbutted me. I started bleeding on my forehead because to the strong headbutt.

After that he attacked me with his sword but I dodged it and with a maneuver of a kick I managed to disarm him and send his black sword away, I broke his arm with a technique, however this did not stop him. I still had the piece of my sword in his other hand and he attacked me with it.

But I managed to stop it, however, he began to push me towards the field wall in the struggle, I can't stop it... This entity had more strength than me... I crashed against the camp wall while we were struggling, the entity screamed with a horrible scream stunning me. He tried to give me another headbutt but I dodged it and he hit the wall. I managed to disarm him to remove the piece of my broken sword that he had in his hand.

However I had fallen into his trap, he wanted me to do that, before I knew it, he regenerated his broken arm at a much faster speed than the first time we were fighting. he summoned a short sword... I tried to react but I was stabbed in the stomach...

I tried to remove the sword from my abdomen but he had more strength than me... I thought it was the end, but someone made a noise, I looked above the wall where the noise was coming from.

She was the girl who was always with the Boss.

She threw a white sword at me from above, I took the sword and stuck it in her head again, but this time the entity made a kind of cry of pain and fell to the ground while writhing.

His body began to fade away and the entity's sword also began to disappear from my stomach, my bleeding began to increase... Because of that.

I lost strength in my legs while I covered my wound with my hands and fell sitting while leaning on the wall...

I could see Saga and Alba in the distance, they were being defeated by the shadow and the dark knight, Alba received a large cut on her back that managed to hurt her through her armor. Saga couldn't move his left arm and that's why he lost an ear... the few companions who were still alive were being massacred by more beasts... Our shooters began to be overwhelmed by the flying beasts and were eaten alive. At one point a colleague's head fell to my side from above...

Ahh I couldn't think clearly... When I wanted to close my eyes I remembered Robert...

(Flashback)

Samantha: This is how you should shoot the bow, now try it.

Robert: Don't expect much from me...

Robert tried to shoot but the arrow did not come close to the target.

This caused me a lot of fun and I laughed very hard.

Robert: What kind of teacher laughs at her student...

Samantha: Sorry, sorry...

While saying this I dried my tears that had come from laughing so much.

I took my bow and took aim again.

Samantha: For now, analyze my position and after this shot I will tell you what you are doing wrong.

I had set my target, when I was about to shoot I felt something cold on my back and I screamed, because of this I missed the shot.

Robert: Mmm I understand this is how I shouldn't shoot... At least my shot came closer...

Robert said this with a smile on his face as he tried to contain his laughter.

Samantha: Shut up you idiot!

I began to look for the reason for my failure, it was impossible for me, a bow prodigy, to miss a shot...

I looked up and there it was... A blue bird... That means... That damn bird just relieved itself on me!

Samantha: Damn bird!

I was angry and a little embarrassed, so I decided to take revenge on that bird.

I aimed my bow at the bird as it started to fly when I was about to shoot, something fell on my face and I missed the shot again...

I touched my face and... I had some feces on my face... I looked up and there it was... It was the female bluebird on the branch above me...

Samantha: Yuck, damn birds!

Robert couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing.

I was too embarrassed and angry...

I was about to cry when Robert, still laughing, approached me.

Robert: (holding back laughter) Don't worry.

Robert took a tissue and began to clean my face.

Robert: You are much more beautiful with a clean face.

I turned red from shame... You can't come and say something like that with such a calm face... I hid my face between my legs from shame.

Samantha: Idiot...

Robert: ¿Ehg...?

(End of flashback)

Ahh that's right... I have to go out and look for it... I need to... Get up... I'm not going to die here...

I felt too dizzy and a little dazed.

I took the sword and leaned on it, trying to stand up while bleeding in my abdomen...

I felt a burning and discomfort in my eye while I got up, how annoying, a drop of blood from my forehead fell into my eye, I felt an annoying irritation, I touched myself for a moment near my eye to get rid of that uncomfortable feeling. I wiped my entire face with my tunic, I noticed that it was already completely worn out and somewhat damaged, it was no longer of much use, I decided to take it off and throw it away.

It doesn't matter... I note that next to the body of a companion there were some small shield grenades... That should be enough...

I started walking towards them as best I could, I was staggering as I walked, I heard explosions, shots and spells everywhere, the sound of weapons colliding... I couldn't think clearly, but it didn't matter.

I had already thought enough.

He had seen enough of that Dark Sorcerer... to know what he was hiding...

I managed to reach my dead companion, since I was there I took off his tunic and decided to wear it, it was much better than the one I had before, I pushed his body a little and took the 3 grenades, I looked towards the Dark Sorcerer.

Anyone who saw this situation would say that this is a massacre and that it is impossible to do anything, the most likely thing is that anyone would choose to flee before being the next in the pile of dead, I did not understand very well why I decided to help, I could not think very Well now, I was just following my instinct.

I put the grenades on my waist, and kept the sword I had in the sheath on the other side of my waist.

I started walking towards the Dark Sorcerer, my past self would never have thought this way, I guess Robert has really influenced me, I started laughing to myself, it was very funny.

The Dark Sorcerer had already risen again, gaining his advantage in the air that he had at the beginning. He saw me and smiled, pointed his finger at me and four beasts with weapons from the portals headed to attack me.

He had only one chance, if he failed he would die.

I took a deep breath, I got into position, when the first beast was about to hit me I unsheathed my sword and cut off its arm, then I pierced its head, I ran towards the second beast and with a quick sweep I knocked it down, then I stabbed my sword into it his head, I took the spear of the beast that I had just killed and threw it towards one of the two remaining beasts and pierced its chest, I pulled my sword from the dead beast and in one quick movement I cut the neck of the last beast.

The Dark Sorcerer just smiled as if he had already won.

I put my sword in my sheath, I took the spear that was stuck in the chest of one of the beasts, I overloaded it with my energy at the tip of the spear, when I already felt that I was about to collapse from so much energy, I aimed it at the Dark Sorcerer and threw it with all the force I could at him, the spear came out with incredible speed and power.

After throwing it, I take the 3 grenades, the shield grenades, by default they have a time of 5 seconds, and they have a somewhat strange gravity magic, when they are activated they cannot move, it is as if they were an immovable wall unless that something with great power could pass through it, however it had a somewhat useless function that was going to be useful to me, even in the air they cannot move... In one quick movement I unlocked the 3 grenades and threw them as high as I could and with enough force for them to disperse.

I adopted a somewhat different position than usual, I raised the arm that was holding my sword high, I lowered my other arm, I crouched down a little, arranged my feet in a certain way and closed my eyes, I needed to be in complete concentration to be able to use "Teleportation Lightning" needed all my energy to use it just once.

I felt like each second passed slowly.

I needed to listen carefully when the shield grenades would activate, I took a deep breath... I felt something inside me light up, I felt time pass slowly.

(Azrael's perspective)

The willpower of that warrior was impressive, despite having a large wound in her abdomen she continued fighting.

Those warriors had really hurt me too much, for a long time no one had taken two hearts from me...

That sword he has must be a holy sword... How do they have one in this camp? They're not supposed to be in this world... It doesn't matter my brother and the Trainer must have already kidnapped the target, I just have to finish off the few warriors and I'll get out of here.

The warrior finished killing my beasts and put away her sword. She looked at me, her eyes reflecting incredible determination.

I couldn't help but smile, I wanted to have her under my command, I'm sure she will be a great puppet.

Out of nowhere I take the spear that was stuck in my beast's chest and charge it with its magical energy... Ha, you fool, do you really think that your energy can penetrate my high shield?

She threw the spear at an incredible speed, which I didn't expect, I activated my shield and the spear began to fight against my shield because it wanted to go through it... Incredible the strength he had when throwing the spear. out of nowhere my shield began to break. .. That? Because? Why is her energy so strong?

Out of nowhere she managed to break my shield, but I activated my spectral form and the spear continued on its way... It almost managed to hit me... I couldn't maintain my spectral transformation any longer and I had to deactivate it, I was too exhausted.

When I wanted to pay attention to the warrior again, I noticed that there were some things in the air not so far from me, but out of nowhere the 3 objects were activated, they were some... Shields? They remained static in the air, but at that moment I looked at the warrior again and she looked at me.

His eyes held great determination.

Out of nowhere a blue flame began to emerge from them and in less than a second she launched herself from the ground towards the shields that were in the air, gaining more speed with each impulse taken from the shields, and in an instant it disappeared from the sky my sight... What? Before I knew it it had reached my back...

I have to react quickly, I tried to activate my shield but it was too late, he managed to pierce me with his sword...

(Samantha's perspective)

I managed to pierce the lower part of his back, I was sure that there was his third heart... This scream of great pain, when I was about to swing my sword to cut him, he activated his ethereal form and I passed through him as if he were a ghost. I fell to the ground, I couldn't move anymore, I had given everything I had to that plan... I was about to fall unconscious...

Not if that cut is deep enough to kill him...

I made one last effort to look at the Dark Sorcerer.

Apparently he was trying to say something... He couldn't hear well...

Despite being bleeding from the place where I stabbed him with my sword, the Dark Sorcerer raised his hands and began to speak a few words.

But I couldn't hear anything...

After that I fell unconscious.
