Part 1 – War Meeting

“Spacial Teleportation!”

Spacial Teleportation has been used, please select location of teleport

Pressing a button on the map that appeared, the skill activated. Blue light covered me as the magic circle was automatically constructed around me making space distort and I was sent to that place Alexandra and Viv were.

In the capital city of the Britten Alliance, there were numerous players running around doing all sorts of odd quest. It seems that there are a number of new players in this city and perhaps the most recent boom in players contributed to this face. However, that was not why was I here. Walking up to one of the guards I asked, “Which direction is the palace?”

Upon seeing me the guard immediately stiffened up and said immediately, “Continue on the main road Ma'am!” before giving a salute as if his life was on the line. Well considering what the most recent title gave me....this was understandable. But at least they no longer either attack me or try to run away which makes things much easier.

Walking up the main road like the guard said I looked around as business in this city was flourishing.

“Hey want to join up with-”

The male players was interrupted by the guards immediately.

“All right you come with me!”

Several times some male players approached me with clear intentions on their face but the guards immediately went in and stopped them. I didn't know if it was out of respect for me or fear that this city may be destroyed if things continued the way it did with me. Whatever the reason, I've seemed to have attracted a lot of attention.

“What's going on?”

“The guards are preventing us from getting near her.”

“This is some sort of event?”

As the players curiosity increased, the number of guards increased and eventually for some reason that falls beyond me, the main road was covered with players and lines of guards stopping them from getting near.

“....”

Honestly am I that much of a danger to you people that you would do something like this. There were also some knights present as well as I got nearer to the palace with stern looks on their face. On the roofs of the buildings there were archers hiding as well in the crowd assassins that work for the kingdom as well.

It seems they really want to keep me in check.

“Oh~ So this is the palace” I stopped for a bit to admire the construction of this grand building. Half of the city was mostly resident areas for nobles and lower class citizens as they got nearer to the edge of the walls. The other half was cratered towards adventurers and travellers. Despite all reason, the palace was located at the end of the main road being nearer to the wall than to the centre of the city. But I suppose it does have its perks such as receiving information from messengers more easily.

Walking to the grand and frankly giant doors of the palace, I stopped by various knights and guards of all kinds that all wore different kinds of uniforms. There were also paladins and other church related personal here as well.

“State your business” said what I presume is a knight captain or perhaps the royal knight captain as he wasn't that frightened of me to the point that his words would have fear in it.

“I'm here as part of the war meeting involving the final hurdle for the western continent.”

With those words, whispers aroused among those who could hear me despite me talking in a low voice in the first place. Several people ran around until eventually the doors opened up for me with the knights moving away in line.

“What the...again those doors opened for players!”

“What kind of quest is it?!”

“Let me in! I want to be a part of this historic event as well!”

The crowd was literally stopped by a thin layer of knights. There were mages and other offence orientated people on standby as well if the players decided to do something stupid. I suppose they are stressed since this kind of thing didn't happen to often.

The leaders of multiple churches as well as high ranking nobles and certain Kings coming here for a meeting that has high significance to the fate of the continent even though it doesn't affect them directly. I have to once again praise Alexandra for putting this together in the first place.

Walking to the end of the corridor, I reached where the throne was but in fact there were 3 thrones in this place with a King sitting on it. To the left were nobles that were associated with these Kings or certain Kings that could not be here in time and to the right were all the church related people.

Using Soul Scan I counted there were in total perhaps over 70 people all with important roles in this place. There weren't even maids or servants here at all...well if you exclude the numerous people upwards to the place that were hiding their presence to everyone. They must be the hidden protectors for at least the Kings and nobles. Next to the church high priests were some people with abnormally strong powers that feel familiar to me for some reason...

“Yo Eden, finally got rid of that forest I see” said Alexandra in an informal tone that was definitely not appropriate in these circumstances. Before I could let out a loud sigh out of habit, Viv asked, “What are the numbers?”

Straight to the point as always. Before I got here with Spacial Teleportation, I used flight magic and flew near the final fort. Using Soul Scan I approximated the number of people that were there and their average strength.

“Around half a million troops with an average level of 300 I suppose, couldn't get that close since it was in the middle of a open plains...though the place was located on the side of a mountain.”

When I said this, the faces of everyone in the room except for Alexandra and Viv stiffened with seriousness. However there were comments that tried to run from reality still from some nobles.

“Preposterous! There can't be that many people in that place! It's impossible!”

“How do you get the supplies to sustain such an army?!”

“Furthermore it was said that the other forts that were occupied only had at most 10 000 troops in each of them!”

Hearing this Alexandra laughed out loud again as if this was a joke which left the nobles red faced. The three Kings that were next to each other on their thrones did not speak at all and were staring at me. All three of them had a certain level of fear in them but still trusted me enough to not try and execute me. Naturally this was due to Alexandra being here and Alexandra being allies with half the people in this room. Plus around a quarter of the forces in the world were related to churches which alone made them powerful along with the fact that the citizens pretty much fall under the churches' wing more than the Kingdom's.

“If this is true then what are the consequences for our Kingdoms if this threat is not removed” asked one of the Kings.

The room fell silent as I to answer.

“Hmm...not much in fact though it would really help us if you do decide to help.” I gave an honest answer which surprised the nobles and King in this room.

“Then can you succeed if you do no have our support?” the same King asked again.

“Sure though the chances are a lot lower with more risks than you know.”

If Warlic knows that because of me that people were using the mana fragments to build a giant army which threatens the balance of this world then...

“Then convince us why to help you. The one called Alexandra has the power to summon us but not the power to convince us to help in this lost cause!” the King demanded. It seems he had enough disrespect from me.

To this I gave a smile. A warm smile that would seem perfectly normal in any case.

“Do you all really want me to threaten you all into this?”

However my smile was completely filled with malice of the most evil sense. Due to my class and title, I was a natural enemy for everyone in this room at the same time except for Alexandra and Viv of course. A person who had the power to strip away authority with force and enough power to slay even Gods was in front of them. Everyone in the room except for the cheerful one and one that didn't care had chills down their back.

The room stayed silent for a few more seconds until I decided to break the ice.

“Just kidding~ Though I really can do that and enslave your kingdoms with force, it would be too much trouble to do so and one way or another I will eventually be stopped before I achieve my goals. Basically help me and you gain influence in the western continent and as a bonus I may help you in your times of need.”

My words were still filled with malice but the kind that you can accept for the greater good. But the nobles and kings were still not swayed. Some of them even talked to each other on putting a bounty on me and trying to ruin my life after this. Naturally I would use Alexandra's connections with the churches to stop this else stomp the source by myself. Then it was Viv who spoke up for me since Alexandra was still too interested in where this was going to interfere.

“The first will fall will be the western continent. Then they will go all the way east and get rid of everyone here before going north and south to conquer the rest of the continent. With half a million as a start, it is possible and likely with the power of the mana fragments” he said.

“Speaking of mana fragments, did you manage to get it from Risene Eden?” asked Alexandra leaning back on her seat.

“Thinny snatched it before my eyes” I replied.

“And Risene?”

“Dead.”

“Hmm.....didn't think you had it in you.”

This out of place conversation was an interest to everyone in the room. Who didn't like gossip of any kind especially it was about an potential enemy? It was now that the entire meeting was pulled by Alexandra with her words.

“So the churches pretty much agree to sent troops over to the western continent in a month's time while the nobles and their kingdoms refuse to do so. Guess you lot are too scared” said Alexandra completely mocking the nobles.

“Damn wrench!”

“The Haven Kingdom is increasingly growing stronger!”

“Even Kallamore is soon to fall in the war!”

Hmm....at this point in time, the Kallamore-Haven war started again and was still continuing without end. But recent events slowly pushed the tides of battle from Haven towards Kallamore with the Hermes Guild acting in the war. Honestly I didn't care about this war though it was in the central continent area. They could do what they wanted as long as it didn't interfere with my interests.

“Then why don't you lot sent a number of troops over? At most they will be gone in a month and there are several kingdoms here today so you can split the costs in between you guys.”

The veins of the nobles were about to pop. In fact I believe the three kings underneath their poker faces were shitting themselves due to the words that insulted them. I bet if Alexandra didn't have the churches backing then those lot would instantly banish her and worse.

Then one of the high priests spoke.

“We will be sending in total of 100 000 paladins and priests to aid in this request. I do hope you will at least sent the same amount of more to contribute to the safety and well-being of those outside your kingdoms”

The words of that high priest was essentially 'We are doing this and you will help or else'. Although a single high priest would not say those words in normal circumstances due to the power of a kingdom being able to weaken the power of a single lone church but this was the collective answer of multiple churches at once with the majority of them due mostly to Alexandra accepting it.

Eventually in defeat one of the kings said loudly, “Fine fine, my Kingdom will send troops over but it won't be much since the threat of war from Haven is still clear.”

The other Kings also responded quickly due to this as well and eventually in total the Kingdoms would send a total of 150 000 men that included soldiers and knights over to help us. Along with the church forces this would total to 250 000, half the number of the enemy. It was agreed that preparations would be made using the churches teleportation stations to send them over quickly over a month.

It was decided that me, Alexandra and Viv would deal with this with the other Kingdoms sending troops having contributions to the battle itself. Among the troops they would send, there would be some general level men in there as well to help things out though its likely they will interfere with our orders due to their high pride. I must remember to instil fear into them when they come.

I sighed thanking that this meeting went well enough with me not being forced into unnecessary things while I'm concentrating with this. With the urgent meeting done, the nobles and two kings quickly went back to their kingdoms in a rush while the church people talked to Alexandra for a bit.

One of them went up to me and said, “You should thank Alexandra for doing this. She worked for a long time to the point that she could force this meeting to happen. A lot of favours were called in for this”

I nodded and let the person leave the place. That person had a particular feeling to him. It was an aura of Divine power.

“....”

Some interesting people were here today. Soon the other church people went as well since they can't be gone for long since they have their duties and Alexandra and Viv walked to me.

“So...what happened?” Alexandra had a strange grin on her face.

“So what?” I asked.

“What happened in the fog area? You were there for 3 months.”

Indeed I was in there for months. I couldn't find a way to Risene nor a way out. The others that went in before me probably starved to death with no food nor anything edible in that forest to eat or drink from. Thankfully I at least had creation magic which allowed me not to starve.

“The fog was more annoying than I think” I replied.

The two nodded since it seems like I had a hard time with it. They probably thought there were monsters or something like that that were causing me more trouble but in reality there was nothing. And that was the problem. There was nothing to attack and nothing I did made a dent in my situation there. It was only through the shameful act of wearing that maid outfit that I managed to even get near Risene....though it still felt like an outside force was forcing me to wear it for its own amusement.

“Eden, do you have an explanation for the number of enemies?” asked Viv.

“Hmm....”

I do have a plausible answer though I can't prove it.

“It's probably due to Risene.”

“Risene?”

“Yeah...she had the power to create illusions and make them actual entities I think though it takes a while to make them entities. The large number of enemies would explain the corruption due to the usage of the mana fragment spread so much around her body.”

It indeed made some sense since now that I think about it, creating a mere castle with voices in it didn't do that much at all. However creating an actual army from illusions would cost a lot to make. Even the extensive research on the mana fragments on that damn Sage only caused slight corruption on the arms. Risene's body was almost completely taken over by the power by the time I got to her.

“Well its not like the entire army is made of these illusion entities though the majority of the enemy army does consist mostly of them. From what I can tell, they aren't any weaker or stronger than any other person you can fight. Anyway the main problem is the actual fort itself which isn't actually a fort anymore.”

“Let me guess, the fort is bigger now”

“Ha! If it's only that then how could it house half a million enemies and that isn't that worse of it! The fort is more like a city now has three giant walls which go from the ground level far from the mountain to the edge of the mountain protecting the fort itself. There are three bloody walls and in between them are buildings designed for large magical barriers as well as to house traps and troops in hiding as well. That place has 4 to 5 times more defence than even the capital city of Kingdoms and I doubt even a Dragon can take it one head on.”

“And of the enemy distribution?”

“Around a fifth of them so 100 thousand are archers or mages. There aren't any clerics or priests since their barriers will auto buff them anyway which means we will always be in an disadvantage against them. Around 200-300 thousand are mercenaries or soldiers that you can see in the streets of an average level of around 200 or so which is fine. The problem is of the remaining 100 thousand with most of them being elite troops or knights with an average level over 300. Plus I think I saw knights riding drakes in the sky as well. There's probably a number of mobile units as well and traps specialises included in their forces as well.” I sighed as I told Alexandra and Viv all about the enemy.

But seriously, if you think I can just blast them and the city away you are very very wrong. Subtracting the stupidly large amount of forces they have, the city itself is very strong. It was designed to take on large armies attacking it constantly. The magical barriers which from a far would look like a half sphere of mana covering the city, had the same but stronger properties that the Mercenary King used on his mind controlled men. Namely the are all rounded buffed up as well as having no need to eat or perhaps even sleep by now.

That isn't even the worse thing yet. Since we are attacking and they are attacking, they can prepare countless traps against us. The walls themselves are inscribed with magical defences which increase their defence and durability as well as most likely making them almost completely immune to magical attack as well. I don't even know what else lies in that place since I only got this much from so far away and that is saying a lot since even from afar it looked scary as hell to me.

“Anyway we can't use force against this city. We have to slowly grind our way into the central fort bit by  bit.” And most likely lose a large number of our forces trying to do so.

The three of us headed to Jacksville Castle to explain the situation to the nobles in the western continent.

Part 2 – The Collective Force of the Western Continent

Arriving at Jacksville Castle via my Spacial Teleportation, everyone was in a scramble. Namely it was due to the massive amount of work that needed to be done in order to send over an army of such a large size here from the other side of the continent. It was natural that these nobles and even the soldiers in this place were very nervous.

However one particular noble wasn't nervous at all. The person that united the shattered nobles when their recent king died. The very same person who has been supporting us since 2 years ago. With him were the rest of the members of the Twilight Horizon guild which I am the leader of. Its a funny thing being the leader of a guild and yet is not required to do any work at all.

Along with the child leader formerly from the guild of light and Clone formerly from the guild of shadows were a number of people of various profession. They were all NPCs but I could tell from the feel from them that they were all pretty strong in their own right. Around a few dozens in numbers they were all masters of their own arts of combat.

“Ah Eden, Alexandra, Viv you three are finally back. We have just received word that you have been successful in bringing a great number of allies to our battle. It will help us in our cause where our purpose of our guild will finally be complete” the child leader bowed a bit before continuing.

“The total number of forces in which we have is around 150 thousand including the forces that will be kept behind to defend the territory which actually means only 100 thousand can be sent from us but along with the 250 thousand you brought our numbers are much higher to 350 thousand men. With this we have a chance to defeat those traitorous beings.”

The surrounding soldiers started cheering at once.

“Yeah!”

“We're going to kick ass!”

“With these numbers we are certain to win!”

Morale was awfully high. I wonder how low morale would be if they knew the exact size of the enemy as well as the fact that the enemy fort turned into a massive city bigger than any other pure military related place in the continent. Well I'm not going to spoil that for them just yet. I need them to be close enough to that place that they can't escape from the battle. It's easier to force them to fight to the very end if they know there is no escape.

“Anyway who are these guys?” I asked.

I looked over to these guys that I really didn't know though I only knew that they were part of the guild.

“Ah!” said Clone, “These people are those we have met over the 2 years in which have become our comrades in order for the safety of the continent. They are the ones in which we helped in exchange for some help in this matter.”

Hmm...they all seem strong to the point that I may risk my life if I try to fight any of them in a one on one match....around level 600 or above I think. Also what kind of thing did you have to do in order for them to owe you a favour?

“They are mostly combat related people with a long history of fighting. Most of them were former high ranking knights or soldiers from collapsed kingdoms. A common point is that all of them drank a certain potion that extended their life and youth of their bodies” Clone further explained.

I see, so that's why these guys looks so young at most in their late 20s or early 30s. Also where do I get this life and youth extending potion you say? I want some of that since Royal Road has an aging feature in which our characters will age with us. I felt some pity for those who intentionally made their characters really old people in order to play more into character since they theoretically have a shorter life span compared to younger characters.

“We're going to have a meeting soon Eden” said Alexandra dragging me to the castle as the others followed behind.

All yeah...someone did say there was going to be another meeting to what to do if the war meeting with those other people worked out or not....strange how I forgot about it. It was as if someone was changing the flow of the story in order to get more pages in there. Anyway there was a relatively small room set up for the meeting...well compared to the giant room in that castle in the Britten Alliance.

Inside there were the three of us of course, then there was the child leader and Clone as well as the old noble who owned this place as well as a couple other nobles of some importance as well. A few military people was here as well to express the opinions of the 100 thousand men that would possibly march to their deaths.

“Let's start this meeting~” said Alexandra cheerfully. Was she happy that she was going to be involved with such a large and dangerous battle? Well she didn't change one bit since the first time I met her....which is actually bad in many ways...

“Yes, first we must thank the heavens that we will be getting reinforcement from the other kingdoms and churches” started the old noble to get the flattery out at the first moment in this meeting.

“That was a good thing.”

“With our numbers, defeat is impossible.”

“United we will defeat the enemy!”

Everyone in the room seemed happy about this. Well boosting one troop's number by 250 thousand did not happen that easily with such a low cost in the first place. Well a force of 100 thousand would be considered a relatively medium sized army in the central continent in the first place but this part of the continent didn't have as much resources to produce that many troops at such a short span of time.

In total, the numbers comparing the western continent to the central continent was like comparing a small ant colony to an established flourishing ant colony with winged ants that could fly. The central continent could easily crush the rest of the continent with their large military force if not for the fact they were more than often fighting each other to get more power. Though now that I think about it, didn't I start in Kallamore which was part of the central continent? Hmm...didn't see the power struggle everyone was talking about there though it might be due to the constant monster invasion that was always there to force people to work together to survive...

“Anyway to kick off the meeting, what are the numbers of the enemy Eden? You were the only one to scout them out properly and return right?” asked the old man a bit happier since this conflict would end quite quickly with the forces from the central continent.

“Half a million.”

“....”

“....”

“....”

Silence was in the room while Alexandra and Viv had their own things without a care in the air. If it weren't for the fact that people don't have loose jaws, I would fear that many jaws would fall to the ground right about now.

“Also the enemy had reinforced the fort into a death city...for us that is. Three great walls have been built and those half a million enemies are all there waiting for us to attack them.”

I was being very blunt here.

“The chance of us winning is still very low even with the reinforcement and the battle could take weeks or perhaps months if we don't push hard immediately. There is also the problem of supplies for such a large army. The kingdoms that are sending over troops expect us to sustain the whole army with our supplies.”

How funny, I could see utter hope being crushed into despair in this moment. Some of these people placed their face into their hand to support their weak will to even bother right now.

“The good thing is that we have yet to put up fliers for my people to come to help fight as well. Every last of the troops we have are natives to this continent so our side may actually double in size.”

Light flashed in their eyes as hope was revived.

“But I'm not going to do that unless things turn to the worse.”

And then that hope was shattered again. It was getting a bit too fun toying with people here and now....better stop before I break them.

“Having too many people at once will be too hard to control. When our numbers decrease to a certain point, we will get those numbers back with other freemen. While the numbers of our enemies whither with time, our numbers can stay constant, that is the real reason why I am not playing that last trump card yet.”

There were several sighs in this room as if they finally knew that I wasn't going to screw them over or something like that.

“Eden, talk about the layout of the enemy fort...city” said one of the military guys.

I however shook my head and said, “I was too far away from the place to get an accurate look on them. The number of enemies should be correct unless they had more numbers out of the city away from my sight but the layout of the city is very dangerous and was designed to block out invaders with traps and dead ends and almost every end.”

“I see, anything else about the city that might give us an disadvantage?”

Oh I have a bloody list here you know.

“Well aside from the walls being taller and thicker than normal, there are magical barriers in place that give various effects on the enemy I believe. No hunger, increase strength and speed as well as possibly no need for sleep are some of them. The worse part is that this barrier can be also used to decrease the strength of our forces as well at the same time.”

“A true fortress to the end...is there a clear weakness we can use?”

Well....if you can consider it being damn expensive to build in terms of money and resources then yes.

“No, brute force is the way to go here. The walls are also scribed with magical defence as well which makes it hard for magicians and magic to be used to break the walls down easily.”

“So a classic invasion plan is needed with no tricks. Difficult but the enemy cannot use their complete numbers at once with the scale of their base.”

I smiled since this person had the right idea.

“Yes, at most we will be fighting a faction of their forces on the walls and in between the walls at a time. I doubt they will have enough room to push us back with raw numbers in any case.”

The rest of the people in the room nodded to these words as the meeting continued to the next part on the supplies issue.

“What are we to do with supplying food to that many people?” one person asked.

“We have to buy to bulk in order to last the month, people are already being sent as we speak” someone else replied.

….

….

And so the meeting concluded with most things being in order. The results was most of my money being sucked out to sustain the large army...my money....my precious money....

Part 3 – New Equipment at last!

Walking to a certain part of the castle, we were met with cheers of joy as months of hard work had been finished at last.

“We finally finished one of our greatest works!”

“Yeaaaaaah!”

Such were the cheers when they actually finished within minutes we us walking in to ask them about when our equipment were going to be finished. A large sack of gold was next to me as I waited for them to finish.

We gave them thanks and the sack of gold taking the equipment they built for us and got changed in one of the spare rooms in the castle.

Chank! Zip~

It took us some minutes to get into these new equipment but they felt really light and comfortable to the heavy crap that I wore sometimes when I needed defence to block things with. I looked at myself in the mirror.

I was wearing a medium weight black and red coat with flame designs blended in on it that covered most of my body like one of those really old style anime coats you see sometimes. It extended to just above the ground by a few centimetres. Underneath the coat was robes that were mainly purple and dark blue in colour which also reached near above the ground though it was tightly fitted to my body unlike most robes to allow quickly movements. Because of this they looked more like a shirt and pants of the same colour scheme than anything else.

Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

On my forearms there were some basic metal bracers that were a part of the coat that I wore and would provide some defence when defending using my arms as they could change from being soft to extremely hard at will. My boots were mostly dark with golden lines in the form of a plant on it and on my forehead was a crimson tiara that had a blood red diamond shape gem at the centre.

Well it seems like I didn't completely look ridiculous since I look like some hunter except for the colour scheme which is very flashy. I looked to the others whom were also checking themselves out.

Alexandra was someone in those equipment that would only could be described as a Valkyrie with her armour being light blue and white with feather designs at the bottom ends. The armour itself only covered her main body was well as her forearms and knees. Underneath it was the dress that was black and white in colour that looked more like chain mail than a dress. It tightly stuck to her figure as it covered the arm parts which her armour did not while extending down to be similar to a dress.

On her head was a pure black helmet that covered part of her eye and had feathers sticking at the ends that was similar to the Valkyrie armour she wore. Her hair was pushed through to the black neatly becoming similar to a ponytail. Her boots were also a darker shade of a metallic brown that strangely worked well with the lower portion of her dress being black. Also you could see her earrings since the helmet pushed the hair that usually covered them away.

Alexandra looked completely different from before and she also had a new large sword in her hands. It's design was to compliment Alexandra's new Valkyrie type look and was white and light blue in colour. The width of the blade itself was around 30 cm thick and it was as tall as Alexandra herself. In the centre however there was a clear split between the two blades that make this sword. Apparently, they managed to remake the prototype from a while back and improved it in various ways.

Viv on the other hand looked similar as he always had but this time he looked more like a battle-mage than me. From the outer layer was his combat robes which was also tightly fit and held multiple slots for potions and other items for quick use. There were two belts for just that and under that were a shirt and long pants that he got from that fallen spirit. On his head however was a new witch hat that was made in the typical witch hat style which was large and pointy at the end. But this one was star blue in colour and had small points of gold here and there making it look like the night sky.

On his feet were dark brown or black shoes that extended up over his ankles which really made it look more like leather boots than anything else. On his chest was the dual gem necklace he had with a deep blue colour in one gem and an another with a light grey colour in the centre with strips of other valuable materials around those two gems. However the most noticeable thing was the staff in his hand. It was taller than him and had a black base colour until the tip which had three gems next to each other on it. The branch curved in at the end and held the gems in place.

Out of everything I had, only two of these were crafted which were the Raven Coat and the Battle-mage robes. The Divine Sword was something I had for years now and I bet a lot of people remembered that. The Crimson Tiara was found in that underwater dungeon and the boots from the fallen island with machines.

The necklace and bracelet were something I got from quests and such that were really useful at the time and were irreplaceable unique rare items. The 8 rings I had on my hands were interesting in that they were shattered and I had to find them. Thankfully they released a constant stream of mana which had its own unique wavelength and I managed to find them for the most part. The only downfall was that if I low low infamy which may one day happen though low chance, I won't be able to use them plus the capturing mythical beast parts is really interesting as well.

“Hmm....interesting, I really got that much stronger with new equipment?” I said out loud.

“Yep, most of this stuff is all rounded so the effects in certain areas aren't that great though useful on enhancing ourselves overall” said Alexandra, “Share your stats”

I did what she said and the three of use gave each other our new status windows as well as the equipment windows at the same time. This is going to take a while to look through...

The first thing I have to say is her sword deals way too much damage and is way better than my one in terms of how I can use it. It can split into twin swords at a moment's glance and I think they have boosters at the end of the individual blades that are powered by mana. Alexandra suddenly became more of a monster with that sword.

Other than that, her defences were increased way too much as well and she was the perfect example of a tank that suddenly became a beast with high attack and defence. Her armour is also pretty light as well while having similar defence as a high powered tank that only focused on defence all the time. Her helmet was also something that was extremely useful as well being able to predict a split second ahead more than normal in battle and the improved vision would be useful as well which meant smokescreens or any other methods of reducing vision is useless against her now.

Honestly I am glad that I won't have to fight her right now. Some of her equipment further boost the power of her Holy Spells which were pretty decent to begin with.
