29 Getting Close To The Last Swarm! (2/2)

Majin punched a bird in the beak, breaking its neck in the process. She swung her leg around in a whirlwind-like manner and took out multiple monsters around her. One of the S-ranked birds blasted lightning out of its beak and nearly shot a hole through her chest but thankfully she saw it in time and covered her hand in mana before smacking it away into another S-rank. The bird continued to fire lightning bolts at her but failed to realize with its dumb bird brain that it wasn't doing anything but letting her kill more of the swarm. It soon ran out of mana and was dispatched with a vine drill through the chest.

Majin used her nature magic and grew vines from her hands that extended and began choking, slicing, stabbing, and killing any monsters near her. Xeno was also effortlessly killing the flying monsters. It clawed through them as if they were pieces of paper. It tore them in half with its feet. But it didn't seem to care about defense at all. Even if a monster managed to claw or bite Xeno, it would do little to halt the aggressive hostile nature of the creature as it killed them in response. The bird swarm eventually realized that they were outmatched no matter where they decided to attack and started flying away.

??????

”Can the swarm retreat?” Majin asked to no one in particular.

It began to rain and Majin and Xeno returned back to the stronghold.

[Congratulations. Your team has successfully defended your Leader! The next swarm will appear in 30 minutes. The Leader can choose to start the next swarm early or sacrifice a member of their team to add 30 more minutes of rest.]

”I guess the monsters can run away.” Majin said.

”Hopefully my babies can be used this time around though. I'll have the Tangelas assist the plants that haven't evolved yet.” Majin said to herself before skipping over to Buddy.

She stood in front of him with an innocent smile. He looked at her before turning around and ignoring her but then all of a sudden jumped far away with his bow readied to fire at her. The rest of the champions were confused at Buddy's actions and Majin's smile perked up.

”I was right…” She muttered happily.

”Buddy what's the matter? Why did you freak out like that?” Elise asked.

”Didn't you see her!? She tried to kill me!” He shouted while sweating heavily and still aiming his bow at Majin.

”What are you talking about? She was just standing there.” Ken told him.

Majin stared into his eyes with a teasing smile and he suddenly hopped away once again and backed himself up to the wall.

”What is going on with you man?” Liya asked.

Buddy's entire body was filled with sweat. He could have sworn she just tried to rip off his head that time. The first time she was going to rip his heart out.. Is he going crazy? That's impossible..

Majin appeared in front of him once more. He saw the smile on her face and realized. She was toying with him. She found out his ability and knew how to exploit it. But what did she want from him? He put away his bow and looked her in the eyes.

”You found out.” She giggled.

”What do you want….?” He asked clearly uncomfortable.

Majin realized Buddy was the type of person who usually wasn't caught off guard and wasn't commonly in a lower position from those around him.

”After this Destiny Battle, I want you to be apart of my group.” She said.

”And… If I refuse….?” He asked.

*STAB*

* SPURT*

Majin's hand found itself suddenly punctured through the gut of Buddy who couldn't possibly react to such a speed in time. Blood spat out from his open mouth as he held onto Majin's arm. Blooding leaking from his mouth.

”I…. understand….” He guttered.

And suddenly, Majin's arm vanished and he was perfectly fine. He felt the place where he was just gutted and it was completely uninjured.

”How…..?” Buddy asked.

”Welcome to the team. Ren will show you the ropes when this is all over. For now, though try to survive until this is over and have this. It'll make you a bit more useful.” Majin explained before giving him a magical bow that caused its arrows to home in and increase their qualities and a quiver that always refilled with arrows.

[[THE MONSTERS ARE COMING! PROTECT YOUR LEADER!

SWARM 8/10

800/800]

Buddy was speechless as the items were pushed into his hands. He stood there as if a frozen statue before being brought back to life by Ren.

”Don't go to sleep tonight….” He warned in his usual weak voice before heading off to the top of the stronghold.

Majin's plants were defending against an army of sea creatures. It seemed as if they were being strengthened by the rain. The plants that were going to defend this time were a bunch of Chikoritas who will be supported by the Tangelas. The Tangelas evolved into four different variants instead of becoming Tangrowth like they would back in her old world. The first variant evolved into something similar to a Tangrowth. The second variant gained different elements so, there were some Tangelas who became bundles of fire vines, water vines, lightning vines, and such. The third kind of Tangela were those that grew poisonous thorns on their vines. The last group evolved in a way that allowed them to become symbiotically involved with an insectoid species and have that species live on or in their vines.

The bipedal humanoid aquatic monsters began charging towards the stronghold with human weapons equipped. Their dark blue skin and sharp teeth gleaming in excitement.

”Make Mama proud kiddies..” Majin whispered.
