Chapter 16: Dreadfang Cavern (II)
"We should split into two groups before they barge at us all at once. Now!" Alexa shouted.
"Right!" Callum nodded and made a long shift, and Lira followed him at once.
Alexa and Jon settled on the other side as a group of Ghoul Hunters and Ghoul Warriors charged their way. On the other side, it was the same case.
Callum quickly activated Crimson Severance and readied his sword.
"How does your skill work?" Callum asked her, his voice swiftly demanding.
Lira gave him a sharp glance and activated her skill immediately. At that instant, a shield appeared on her arms, glowing with blue lights.
"It's Guardian Shield. It has a defensive aura covering a four-metre radius. It blocks 70% of physical and magical damage from monsters below the B-rank, and 100% from monsters below the D-rank. If we run into any monster above B-rank, it only has a 20% block rate, and it becomes useless," Lira explained.
"Cool. Perhaps we aren't running into one anytime soon. The stronger monsters don't leave their territory to attack," Callum gave her an assuring look.
"There are a lot of them. We'd need that defensive skill of yours to keep attacks away because we can't face all of them at once," Callum added.
Lira nodded.
And in a few seconds, the Ghouls had already reached their spot, and the clash began.
