A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero
Arc I - Chapter 52: New Teams and Old Operations - 2
Notices are issued immediately after approval and willingness has been ascertained. Soon, information about the formation of a new team where they become members also reached the ears of all concerned parties.
In one of the rooms of the barracks that became the designated place for direction and team building began to be filled with those associated. With a light greeting to the person in the room who would obviously later become his teammate, these people started to blend in with each other.
The last figure came into this room, making the five people who had first become the focus. However, he was not alone seen the head of the security forces together entering with him.
With her clothes completely changed, Huge is now back wearing the clothes she had long left behind. Calming himself who still felt weak, he looked at these people.
“Include, I am the captain of the team to be formed, Huge,” said to other members. “For now, please introduce yourself to each other to be able to strengthen the unity of the team,”.
Although Huge actually knows the background and strength of each side, he still carries out the procedures that have existed so far.
Welcoming Huge's intentions, the others stood up and began to introduce themselves to each other
In summary they are Rico, a user of battle techniques with the main weapon in the form of a large sword as well as a user of abilities. He was at level 5 gold level strength.
Then Kent, the battle technique user with the arc main weapon who was at level 3 gold power.
Then Tue, a magician who specializes in fire element magic with level 4 gold power.
Also do not miss Dany who is a user of bare-handed battle techniques at level 3 gold.
As well as Ernest, a tactician and a witch (?) the new one set his foot in the realm of strength training and was at the bronze level of level 2.
After a brief introduction, the team of six members began to sit down as Ditch had said. Carefully they began to listen carefully to the direction of the mission to be carried out. Even without needing to be told this team had been aware of the importance of their mission, having Ditch intervene directly to give direction was a simple proof.
The actual mission direction is not much different from the operations that Dany has done, but the increase in information possessed makes this direction more complex and deep.
It didn't take long to wait, the team with the official name ‘Case Bag’ It started moving towards the depths of the hutam.
Huge was right next to Ernest's right, protecting him from a possible surprise attack given Ernest was the weakest man in the team. While Tue was beginning to cast detection magic, Rico had been on standby in front of the ready position. For Kent he had trailed not far from Rico's position when he started guarding the left side. Their last member, Dany has moved the very back while guarding him.
Thus, a formation like three zones was formed. Where Ernest and Tue are in the deepest zone making their safety clearly a priority, Kent is in the middle zone which makes it more able to move more, while Dany, Huge, is more, and Rico keeps the outer zone and is ready to be a rock.
The lush forest made them all unable to lower their guard in the slightest on the surrounding environment, and raised it to the highest point.
They are aware that they have made a fatal mistake and obviously do not want to repeat it a second time. The entire attention was focused on the surroundings, making the slightest movement would soon be known to them.
“There's a close.”
Everyone was on standby after receiving a warning from Tue. Kent began to move slightly away from the direction Tue was referring to, mounted an arrow in the bow and began to search for the ideal firing point.
As a small movement was caught by his eyes, the arrows were released quickly.
The arrows understated each other, although it looked a bit late but the other party immediately retaliated against Kent's arrows, making their attacks cross in midair.
As if to be a sign of the opening of the confrontation, Rico immediately dashed towards the designated direction. “Aahh! Great Swing!”
The huge sword in Rico's hand swung rapidly, making a whirling wind that fended off the enemy's arrows. Immediately forcing them to show themselves.
The confrontation that opened left the momentum of the battle on their side, not only were Rico and Kent active. Dany also began actively confronting her opponent. However, he still maintained a safe distance between himself and his other comrades.
Having such a free space for her, the staff in Tue's hands began to let out a bright red sheen around her. As the staff is held aloft, a magic is released. “Magic: Booming!”
A huge flame immediately materialized, the bright flame immediately engulfed the trees around with its bright flame. However, the puff of smoke did not escape and immediately filled the view.
Making use of the situation, Ernest whom Huge kept hidden with him quickly disappeared from his place before the enemy's sight recovered.
Addressing the situation immediately, another magic light immediately countered. “Magic: Wind Slash!”
The blades of wind headed towards Rico as he was caught off guard, but Dany immediately advanced and blocked the attack. When it comes to flexibility it is clear that he is superior to Rico, smiling at each other, they understand the intent and lunging forward starting this direct confrontation to the next stage.
BOOM UP!
The sound of booms and explosions continued to echo, but somehow the explosion to how many times it had been heard, was no longer counted.
The forest around had lost its original shape. The green color that usually dominates is replaced with charcoal black, after the soil is poked and drowned at will.
Flicking his teeth, one of the bandits shouted, “Let go those dead cattle!”
About 11-13 people came out from hiding, they were mercenaries who ended up siding with these bandits and survived the attack that Reutania Kingdom had done before.
With a haggard face they tried to fight back, despite actually knowing that they had become cannon fodder once again, but nothing could be done. After all, even if they did not follow orders they would have been killed by the previous actions, after fighting the Reutania envoy soldiers they were aware that there was no turning back.
It might be like gambling where they hope luck is on their side, making them still able to see the sunrise in the future.
Facing the horde that came towards him Rico smiled faintly, as his greatsword positioned in front of him was ready to begin.
“Gigantic!”
The dark gray aura seemed to overwhelm Rico's body, engulfing it and continuing to tear each muscle until it continued to expand into a 3-meter-tall humanoid giant shape. The huge sword in his hand now looked like a normal sword with this proportion of his body.
A low growl sounded before Rico started swinging his sword wildly.
