Chapter 87 - Massacre VI (1/2)

{Authors note: I know non of you guys read the author's notes at the bottom, so instead, I'm just going to tell you any updates over here. The magic system that was created with Juilam around around chapter 36 to 39 will be changed a little. While before, there were certain ways of increasing aptitude to an affinity over time, like body and mental training for earth, control of instincts for fire, I'll be changing it. I realised it would make the story kind of boring with too much information about magic, so instead of using that kind of progression system, I'll be using a new one that will be introduced in the upcoming chapters. I just have to make some adjustments while also trying to find a few holes in the magic progression theory. It will be slightly similar, but it wont be the same.}

Seeing dozens of men and women running towards me with their weapons unsheathed, the only thing I could think of was the meal that I was about to consume. The man was tasty and all, but after eating so many human souls today at one go, two humans was no longer enough to satiate my blood lust.

”I guess I'll be conducting the massacre today” I spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear what I was saying. Since I had my mask on, my voice was a little distorted, but it was a no brainer that i was child. From my stature to my height or even my voice even when distorted, it was quit obvious I was a child or a Dwarf.

Cracking my knuckles and neck, I lunged forward with my two short swords in both my hands to cut down anything and everything that comes in my way. Having two weapons was always helpful, since using one would leave you open to many attacks, but two would give you a chance to block. One thing that was disadvantageous about having two blades was that they were usually light and held in one hand each, meaning the blows created on collision with the sword would do a lot less damage that it usually would with a long sword, a bastard sword or even a great sword.

Getting within a 30 meter radius of the person who was most ahead, I watched as the entire 'crowd' of warriors and mages split into groups of 7, each one having at least one assassin and one mage. Some even had archers, but that was besides the point. What they all had in common was that they were organised with a defensive system that seemed to be strong on the outside, but is truly flawed when a single fighter within the group falls.

However, them now grouping up in teams of 7 was the best thing they could have done, because even though a single group my break when one of the team members fall, now they have other groups to compensate for their losses. However, they had not realised one thing.

”Analysis” I muttered

[Analysis Complete]

[Many flaws have been located]

[key roles have been analysed:

Swordsmen- 40

Tank-20

Assassin-35

Archers-15

Mages-10

Healers-4

Other (Axe wielder ect.)- 16]

[Strategy complete:

Entity -Atlas- should attack the healers first, since taking them out would allow the groups to naturally collapse out of place and all 140 fighters will fall. Healers are found encircled by 5 teams of 7 which all contain tanks and assassin surrounding the healers in ways that do not seem obvious. Due to entity -Atlas-'s lack of mana in this current time, it will be more beneficial to take out the mages and then the arches who are all weak to close combat. This will force the assassins away from the healers and there will be a gap within the formation which you can easily take advantage of.]
