637 Two Group Battles (1/2)
Firene, Aizu, Nevah, and Nurvey were exhausted.
Their battle had already lasted a long time, and they were still in a stalemate, but they were already reaching the limits of their endurance.
In the battle, both sides had been similar in strength, but the other side was better at long battles.
Aizu and Nurvey never had a battle that would last so long, so they were the first ones to feel exhaustion.
However, it had been ages since Firene had such a long battle, so she also started to fall behind her opponent after some time.
The one showing the best endurance was Nevah due to how constantly had been running for her life in her previous lives, so she was even better than Firene at enduring on a battle for a long time, but in the end, she was also starting to show signs of tiredness.
Compared to them, their opponents were just slightly tired. It was obvious that they were far more used to long battles.
It was also a problem of versatility. Firene and Aizu weren't used to use more than three divinities when battling, while their opponents switched between as many of them as possible.
They weren't comparable to the Battle God, but they were more versatile than Firene's group.
Nurvey and Nevah didn't even have a variety to choose, so they had the same problem.
Of course, it wasn't entirely their fault. Nurvey, Nevah, and Aizu were far younger than their opponents, so they didn't have time to obtain more Divinities.
Firene was a different case, but she was the type who always focused on her main Divinity, although thanks to her deceased friends, she expanded her views a bit.
Using the same Divinities made them far more predictable, so their opponents didn't need to use too much energy to dodge and block. On the other hand, since they were unpredictable use to variety, Firene's group got tired easier.
”You are already doomed. You are too inexperienced to beat us. However, since you are cute, you can become my subordinates, and I will forgive your lives.”
The woman licked her lips while looking at her exhausted opponents.
She loved to have cute subordinated, and in fact, she hoped to meet Wyba and Barha to kidnap them since she was crazy for their cuteness, but she didn't manage to find them.
In terms of hobbies, she wasn't that far from those of Nurvey and Nevah, but she took too extreme approaches. If she couldn't get a cutie for herself, she would rather kill her to prevent others from getting her.
On the other hand, she hated all males, so she would never show any mercy against them.
”In your dreams.”
As the leader of the team, Firene was the one who replied, but the rest agreed with the decision.
They wouldn't fall so low as to become someone else's subordinates just to save their lives.
Moreover, they were just exhausted, not defeated, although they were conscious that being defeated was just a matter of time.
”A pity. You would have fit my collection pretty well, but if you aren't mine, then you need to die.”
The sudden attack was far stronger than before, and they weren't able to react properly since they were exhausted, but someone else blocked the attack.
”You aren't touching my young miss.”
Awat had just been in weapon form the whole time, but after he saw that Nevah wasn't able to react in time, he changed to human form to block the attack.
”Are you a weapon spirit? I know that weapon spirits are technically genderless, but you aren't cute enough with those male looks. Disappear from my sight.”
The woman attacked again, sending Awat away, but she didn't stop there.
She ignored Firene's group and attacked Awat non-stop. The woman's subordinates were surrounding Firene and the others to prevent that they could help.
”Awat, come back!”
Nevah shouted while trying to follow him, but she was blocked. Although their group of four wouldn't be delayed by too much time given that they only had three opponents and the strongest one wasn't there, that time was critical to helping Awat.
”I am... sorry... Please survive...”
Those were Awat's last words before being broken in pieces and losing his human form.
He wasn't dead yet, but he was already powerless. A single hit would be able to destroy him completely.
”No!”
Nevah shouted while attacking the three women surrounding her and the other three.
She managed to injure one of them and rush towards Awat, but she wasn't fast enough given the distance between where she was, and there Awat was.
