Away from all the fighting, standing on his own in the middle of the desert was the man known as Ryo[Eno], but at the same time claimed not to be him. He was so far away from the battlefield that if a human was to look out to the desert, they wouldn't be able to see him. As for Ryo[Eno] though, when he looked at the battlefield, he could see everything that was going on in the distance. Everything he needed to see.
'The humans have decided to come and help you, but this will be where the real test happens, Archer[Quinn].' Ryo[Eno] thought. 'As for the shelter, with how many strong forces they sent, I'm surprised that it's still standing. It's a shame the other one is no longer there to send information.
'Did they send this many people because he knew I was going to be here?' Ryo[Eno] thought.
'Maybe I should send the other one to the Shelter to help the others, if any of them are still alive.'
——
Out on the field, the students who had ranged abilities were firing off non stop. The ranged skill[ability] users were targeting the Oregon[Dalki] that were on the far edges and towards the back, while the stronger ones had formed units with the teachers to fight them toe to toe.
The teacher that seemed to be the most effective out of them all, was Tony[Peter]. He had equipped his beast weapons known as the Helim[Tonfa] that had been especially made for him. It was a strong baton-like object that would be placed under Tony[Peter]'s forearms and also stuck out a bit longer than his arms could reach.
With this, he was able to strike the Oregon[Dalki] at full force without having to worry about his own body taking damage. Even if he didn't feel pain, at times when using his full strength it would break his own limbs. This object had solved most of those problems and he was able to do more damage than before.
Shiro, who was fearless, had dived right in with the teachers even though he was asked to stay at the back. However, when he had reached a Oregon[Dalki] and was staring one down, he froze for a brief second. The Oregon[Dalki] swiped and Shiro attempted to dodge but through his movements he knew he would be too slow.
Before the hand could reach Shiro, Tony[Peter] had slammed it down with his weapon to the ground and then put both of them together and hit the Oregon[Dalki] in the stomach like a baseball bat. Soon several ranged abilities were also hitting the Oregon[Dalki] in the head, causing it to stumble backwards.
"All students, do not engage!" Tony[Peter] shouted. "They're faster, stronger, and will kill you in one strike!" Tony[Peter] shouted.
With the help of everyone, the Oregon[Dalki] forces were quickly dropping.
However, this wasn't what Archer[Quinn] wanted. Having used his soul weapon for too long he had no choice but to cancel the soul weapon. The pain was affecting his whole body and was making it hard for him to even move. Now he was left fighting using his shadow and his fists like before.
Archer[Quinn] had quickly thrown out a blood swipe and caught it with his shadow creating the shadow scythe. Swinging it outward, he had hooked a Oregon[Dalki] by the neck and slammed it down into the ground.
Now that he had the second stage of Qi, if Archer[Quinn] coated the red aura with it, it would last until the Qi vanished as well. This would give Archer[Quinn] a permanent shadow scythe to use. He hadn't brought out two since he needed to use his other hand from time to time.
When the Oregon[Dalki] was pinned to the ground, that's when Archer[Quinn] could see the chaos that was happening. A teacher had been slashed by a claw of a Oregon[Dalki], and had split through the beast armour slicing them in half.
Another Oregon[Dalki] had jumped over the line of support, ignoring the teachers and was just hitting the students left and right. Each hit was devastating and it was clear the students wouldn't recover from the strikes. They all continued to blast and hit the Oregon[Dalki], but the abilities did seemingly nothing.
'The students are too weak to even do any damage to them!' Archer[Quinn] thought seeing this. 'As soon as we knew the Oregon[Dalki] were going to attack we should have sent them off somewhere.'
But where could Archer[Quinn] send them? Even at the shelter the Oregon[Dalki] had landed.
'Ryo[Eno], what the hell are you doing!' Archer[Quinn] shouted with anger.
A group of students were currently on the floor, shaking and they had wet themselves making a puddle in front of them. Their teacher had just died trying to protect them and a Oregon[Dalki] covered in blood was looking at the three of them.
Most of the Oregon[Dalki] were still centred around Archer[Quinn], they knew he was the biggest threat. What was distracting him more than ever were the Oregon[Dalki] who were jumping into the centre of the students just to hurt people that stood no chance.
Continuing to try to protect the students around him, Archer[Quinn] used the shadow lock skill whenever possible, putting them into a space where the Oregon[Dalki] couldn't get to. At the same time, Archer[Quinn] also raised shadow domes over other students. Although this wouldn't do much in terms of helping him attack or get rid of the Oregon[Dalki], it made some of them hesitant to move forward.
Each time Archer[Quinn] would be distracted, he would be hit by the Oregon[Dalki] as he was not able to raise his shadow in time, and his health was getting lower and lower by the second. When it got to a certain point, Archer[Quinn] went searching for a weak Oregon[Dalki]. Upon finding one, he made his hand in a claw-like shape, then performed the hammer strike.
This time, due to his hand being in a claw-like shape, his entire arm would go through the body. It was a move that wasn't focused on being an internal attack. Once he had their blood on his hands, Archer[Quinn] would take it in, giving him another power boost and healing him slightly.
[29/50 Oregon[Dalki] defeated]
'Damn, I'm surrounded again!' Archer[Quinn] noticed and was getting frustrated that there was a certain group of Oregon[Dalki] that wouldn't get off his back. To make matters worse, they were all two spikes as well. Their hits hurt and he couldn't slack while fighting them. Whenever he did to save a student, he would pay for it.
"Get out of my way!" Archer[Quinn] shouted, swinging his scythe and stretching it out, he planned to hit all four of the ones that were constantly on him. Three jumped out of the way, while the last one took the hit. It had pierced his hands and they were bleeding, but at the last second while being skidded across the room, he let go jumping and Archer[Quinn] could see his scythe heading straight for the student. He quickly had to get rid of his shadow, dropping the red aura from the end of it to avoid touching the student.
In seconds the other Oregon[Dalki] were upon him again.
"I can't do anything!'
Whenever Archer[Quinn] attempted to fight the Oregon[Dalki], even if he couldn't see the students the worst thing for him was that he could hear their cries.
"I just wanted to see my parents one more time before I go. "
"Why did this happen to us, will someone stop them?"
"It hurts, it hurts so much."
Gritting his teeth and blasting blood sprays of fists at the Oregon[Dalki], Archer[Quinn] was beyond frustrated.
"Attack me, fight me! Why do you have to go for them!" he screamed, punching his enemies in front of him, hoping they wouldn't get back up, but they did.
Looking around, Archer[Quinn] was trying to figure out an answer. The Oregon[Dalki] weren't fighting this smart before so something had to have changed, and that's when he noticed that a Oregon[Dalki] at the very back hadn't gotten involved.
'It's him!' Archer[Quinn] thought, staring at him. 'I have to kill him, I need to get to him!'
Archer[Quinn] was punched but he blocked attacks with his shadow and continued to use Shadow lock on more students. However his MC points would soon run low if he continued to do that. It was a demanding skill, and blocking the strong attacks even with his newly acquired 1000 Mc points, were going down fast.
"That guy..he needs to die!" Archer[Quinn] shouted at the top of his lungs, Archer[Quinn] shouted covering up his head as two Oregon[Dalki] punched him at the same time.
'Get rid of him!' Archer[Quinn] said almost as if it was an order.
At that moment, a black mist appeared from his body and started to float through the sky. It went over all those that were fighting and a black portal started to appear behind the two spiked Oregon[Dalki] who had yet to move.
From the portal. A large claw came out, striking the Oregon[Dalki]. At the last second they had spotted the creature but even lifting their hands, the claw shed through their strong skin. Jumping back quickly, the Oregon[Dalki] thought it was safe, but the Buffan[Boneclaw] appeared through a shadow behind it and stabbed it through its body with one of its hands before swiping with its other giant clawed hand, hitting its head. The claws went through easily and the head was no longer attached to the body falling to the floor.
"The boy still has the Buffan[Boneclaw]." Ryo[Eno] said, surprised and still watching the fight from a distance. "I knew he had obtained it, but to still have it at this stage. In that case, maybe Archer[Quinn] isn't too innocent after all." Ryo[Eno] said with a smile.
