Crispe looked at Kat, and smiled before she gained her attention on the monsters again. "Ohhhhh. I forgot one thing." Her face lit with excitement, as she whistled for some sort of animal or so. A dozen of sea creatures emerged from nowhere and they started to bite the monsters. "They will be weaker, trust me, so we can finish the battle faster, it's taking much of my time."

"Sorry, I zoned out for a second. Monsters? Are we fighting now?"

And there was Shinko. He'd been lagging behind the whole time, and now, somehow he had an armful of assorted items, which definitely did not belong in the forest.

He threw them over his shoulder.

Warmly welcoming the golden butterfly, Ayran felt all those negative emotions in him wash away, and was instantly refreshed. But that didn't make him let his guard down, as he cautiously watches the Bipedals, eager to find any openings where he can rush forward.

Then, he found it.

As since most of the aggro was attracted by the silver butterfly and Crispe, there was a relatively big opening where he can catch the group of monsters off-guard. But the chances of success were 50/50.. unless.

The calm breeze suddenly picked up, and became rough around the Bipedals, and circled around them. Confused, the Bipedals pushed forward, only to be knocked back by the barrier of wind. Very quickly, the Bipedals were now grouped into a crowd with very little moving space.

Now, his chances of success were far higher, Ayran thought with a cunning smirk, as he took a step back and simply threw his gunblade into the air, before running forward and leaping into the air. With the wind at his support, he aimed his gunblade at the crowd of Bipedals calmly.

Then Shot Fire.

Both gunblades fired their shots rapidly with deadly precision. Each bullet either headshotted the Bipedals, or decreased their movement speed by 1%. The Bipedals were shot down mercilessly one by one for 10 seconds continuously, until Ayran's feet's both landed elegantly back at the ground.

With a swish motion, he blew away the smoke that came from the single gunblade wielded in his hands. Before the second one came flying right down, almost banging his head if Ayran hadn't taken a step away at the last moment.

At that, the cool, handsome, and downright bad@ss illusion immediately broke apart, like shattered glass. Ayran gave a butter smile and tiredly pulled the other gunblade up.

It seems like he still hasn't mastered this move it seems..

But luckily, a pretty big chunk of those bipedals are gone, and replaced with monster guts now! :D

Now.. Ayran took a deep breath, he needs some mana replenishing potions that he coincidently forgot to bring. Surely, the others can handle the rest..right?

---

Crispe stared at Aryan with wonder, surprised that he can do such much. She grinned, and looked like she mouthed 'Good job'. The others can definitely be strong enough to kill the monsters... right? The monsters looked strong.

Oh. Wow. He was very strong. Strong enough to make her not notice the monster attacking her. She got whacked with the spear, though luckily it wasn’t being stabbed. That would be worse.

“Hey— Hands off!“ Yawen growled. From seemingly nowhere, she drew a pistol, shooting it dead in the head, the monster poofing into non existence.

---

Despite the fact that his clothes would get dirty from doing so, Ayran still slumped down on the ground. For some reason, Ayran looked more relaxed after venting everything out on the Bipedals. Now he was just chilling on the ground slowly replenishing his mana, while eagerly waiting to see what the other got.

He winked at Crispe cheekily, and mouthed, 'Your turn' to her. He hoped that encouraged her to show off what she has, as she looked like quite the energetic one. Plus, he can't handle everything on his own can he?

Definitely not, especially not without his mana replenishing potions.

Ah yes, his mana replenishing potions that he conveniently left back at his trunk.

Soliana wasn't surprised Ayran was able to pull off something like that, coming back to her senses, she sent a wave of the healing butterflies towards Ayran, then gave him a thumbs up. She was hesitant about combat but decided to give it a try.

Soliana jumped up and grabbed a branch of a tree near by, swung herself up and quickly summoned a ice shard shaped like a dagger, she leapt off the tree, used the momentum to do a lil flip then land on a Bipedal's back. she found a gap on it's back then sank the dagger through the scales to piece it's body. Soliana repeated this once more then retreated, even that amount of fighting was draining her. She summoned more butterflies then absorbed them.


Val studied everyone's movements, the after Soliana cleared the area, he decided to jump in, summoning his phoenix to gather the Bipedals, he got to the ground, leapt up (everyone seems to be doing dat so ig he's gonna do so too) and sent a fiery tornado flying towards them with a simple kick, then landed while his phoenix cleared up the ones that werent dead, leaving about 5 Bipedals and the bats. His hood had fallen of while he was landed, his silver hair had been revealed, glancing back, he pulled his hood back up and vanished into the woods, panting.

Kat was still watching from the back, as usual taking her time to enter the battle as she curiously took note of the different, all impressive, skill sets that the other seemed to have. Everybody seemed to be doing their own thing for the most part, but that was what she was used to anyways.

The she saw the crystal bats flocking together and preparing for an attack. "Let's see how these guys deal with a little lag." She gave a haphazard, almost lazy, wave of her spear, and her drone came flying to her side. A blast of electricity surged from the tip into the drone, causing it to charge up and fly much more quickly. It zipped around the knockoff-fragmentum creatures in circles, letting out a high pitched signal that caused them to become confused. She raised her spear to aim at the now slowed-down enemies, shooting them down with lightning.

She flinched as a moment as out of the corner of her eye, she thought she saw someone with silver hair dart behind a tree, but she just shrugged and turned back to the fight at hand. Despite her minimal role in the battle, she couldn't help but give a small but cocky smirk at how their little band was shaping up. If this was how all their fights were going to be, she could get used to it.

Crispe smiled warmly, while looking at the hooded guy, Kat and Soliana do their job. A few monsters left and the stupid useless bats. Surely she could do that in one swipe?

She tried to focus on the monsters. What route will she take and are there any small gaps. Aha~ she laughed, signalling that she will attack and is ready. She did her readying position and started to run around the enemies.

Crispe sprinted as fast as she can. She found a gap where she can view all the enemies from above and launched herself up in the sky. That way, it would be much easier. If her smash is accurate, she can wipe all the monsters up. Crispe was panting by now, tired of her running and jumping. She gathered all her attention on the paint bucket that she was holding.

And... She smashed the large bucket to the ground. The paint was spilling out as it fell with gravity. The monsters were blanketed by the force of paint, and it dealt heavy damage.

The paint was everywhere by now. "Sorry guys," she panted "It might be a bit sticky~ hehe..." Crispe smiled. It was successful. Wiped out everymonster in the field. But she looked really tired "Excuse me, I'm gonna sit down to rest." She sat on a nearby rock.

"Yawen, are you okay?" Aria Grace stood by her, concerned. She quickly checked to make sure she wasn't injured and activated a shield over Yawen just as another enemy popped up, spear aimed for Aria Grace. She couldn't risk outing herself, but when she saw two more monsters coming after them, she felt she didn't have a choice. "Stand back, Yawen!" She walked in front of her, taking her glasses off and tossing them near Yawen.

"Aha~ Thanks lil missy for these beautiful butterflies~"

Ayran stood up, with the aid of his gunblade. He glances around the field, where it was literally a whole mess, with monster guts everywhere, and somehow.. even paint?

But anyways, there doesn't seem to be many Bipedals nor crystal bats in the air for him to move around or make some big moves again either way. Thus, too lazy to use to blade to finish each one of them in close-range, instead, Ayran just sat back down on the grass, criss cross applesauce, and aimed for each monster, headshotting them one-by-one with his gunblades, like they are ordinary wooden targets with ease.

Especially the ones in the back, where people seems to forget.

---

“I-“ Whoops. Yawen lost her cool there. She hates being rude but being attacked like that? Really? “I’m alright— really!” While she did let Aria Grace handle the last few monsters, she shot them with her pistols. Blanks. They exploded into a nice floral pattern, lowering their damage resistance. It also wrapped around Aria Grace, making sure if she did get hurt, it would be a lot less.

---

Val sent his phoenix to do some cleaning up after returning into the shadows. It flew a few times around the area and vanished, suddenly, the shots fired by Yawen startled him as he thought someone was ambushing him, he jumoed back only to trip and a tree root totally not there because of plot again.

Good.

Ayran finished firing off his last bullet, killing off the last monster in the back, before off in the corner of his eye, he sees a phoenix and that white haired beautiful crimson eyed, Mr. Wall again.

Then hes gone, again, somewhere in the trees in seems.

Ayran's face was blank as his brain was still loading what he had just seen. Inwhich then, immediately after, from head to neck, he flushed red.

Burrowing his head into his hands, he inwardly screamed. Why did he have to turn that way! Just when he had forgotten about everything!

How annoying!

That guy was so annoying!

even though val did nothing wrong :')

Aria Grace stood tall with her staff acting as a ribbon wand. She began to spin, then dance gracefully around the trio of monsters. While she danced, an aura of red and green showered over them, showing everyone a mirage that looked like a field of wildflowers, a neverending expanse of color.

When her little show was over, she brought herself back into her initial position, and the mirage faded. The monsters had cuts all over their vital spots, resulting in their deaths. Aria Grace's horns and tail had come out of their hiding spots in her hair and shimmered in the hot summer light. "And step, and fin." She whispered to herself, smiling.

---

Oh.
Oh wow.

Yawen wasn’t really expecting anything. But That wasn’t what she expected at all.
You know, she seemed familiar…?

“Well.. that’s the last of them…” Yawen managed to say. “Let’s look around, try and find something of note?”

---

"Right!" Aria Grace quickly put her glasses back on and nodded. No one knew who she was still? What a miracle. She hastily tucked her horns and tail back into her hair and followed the group.

---

Shinko had just kind of been watching, throwing coins every now and then to pretend that he had been participating.

Of course, he'd been far too busy formulating a plan to liberate -steal- his teammates' belongings.

---

Ami looked around and decided to follow the group in the continuous adventures, she wonders about the next steps but her nerves were nearly apparent, "I should've joined in the battle but I will have to wait what excitement brings", Ami said.

---

Pull yourself together Ayran!

Ayran resisted the urge to slap himself in the face, and stood up from the grassy ground. He didn't put away his gunblades, and instead kept them at bay, ready to fire incase anything unexpected pops up.

He joined the group in a simple manner and didn't say anything.

It wasn't as if there was anything that was needed to say anyways.
