Gabriel can use his abilities to alter the memories of the three A-Rank mercenaries, but theres about a dozen witnesses here, including Yoei. If he sees me using Ice magic spells, he will definitely suspect my identity.

Anyway

These battle dolls in front of me are merely LV 15, so theres no need to mind about it!

With a swing of the red cross in my hand, its completely able to take the role of a sword! And before the energy stored in the red cross is completely depleted, it will continue to exist!

Looking at the incoming battle dolls, I smiled slightly, and swung the red cross horizontally. The red after-image of the slash flashed past the bodies of a large number of dolls, and they were all immediately sliced into half!

But the red cross in my hand disappeared in an instant. Looks like a strong attack like this uses up quite a bit of energy.

This is bad, this is bad. I currently do not possess any equipment that increases my Max MP. After leveling up to LV 22, my current Max MP is 940, and with a single use of Punishment, it uses up 700MP. In this case, I completely do not possess the needed MP to use it a second time.

But, with just that single swing, I was able to eliminate a huge number of enemies! I smiled, and after tapping on an MP Recovery Potion, I pulled out my tachi.

Im not a legit warrior, but, let me go wild in this battle!

I pierced straight into the body of the doll near me, but what I did not expect was, before the doll could retaliate, it started to freeze from where it was pierced, and then, it completely turned into a block of ice!

Un, did it instantly freeze because it wasnt human? No, from the description of this tachi, it has a 40% chance of freezing the target with each physical attack. So, why

I kicked the frozen doll. Cracks started to form the center of the ice, splitting the doll into half. The two pieces then fell onto the ground.

Its rather effective, eh!

A warning flashed on my right, and I raised my tachi up to block it. With a dang sound, my opponents sword clashed with mine, but in the next second, the doll actually began to slowly freeze up!

Eh eh eh? This doesnt make sense. There wasnt such an effect in the past!

I once again inspected the description of my tachi. Un, it indeed only has 40% chance of freezing the target. What the hell is going on?

I quickly parried its sword away, and slashed my tachi at it again. Its sword immediately broke into two, and with a diagonal slash starting from its right shoulder, it was cleanly cut into half!

This is really weird. Why is this happening?

Did the probability of the effect activating increase to a 100%? Thats impossible, right? Just what is going on?

Yo, I didnt expect that you actually use a tachi as well!

Suddenly, a figure flashed right beside me. When I looked carefully, I realized it was actually Bai Yueguang.

A weird blurry shadow flashed, and the surrounding dolls were immediately cut into pieces. Then, this guy once again sheathed his tachi.

Isnt it tiring to unsheathe and sheathe it over and over again?

Hey hey, is it really fine for you to drop a tsukkomi about that right from the start?

Well

I shrugged.

My strongest arcane skill requires me to execute the action of drawing my tachi, you know.

He helplessly shrugged as well.

Lets put that aside. Do you have any attacks with special effects? Attacks with special effects?

In other words, attacks with effects like 40% chance of freezing your opponent, 70% chance of burning.

Those types of attacks, huh I do have them, I guess. Does 15% chance of stunning my target count?

Try it out! Ha? Why?

For experimental purposes!

He stared at me for quite a while, and then replied. Alright, then I will give it a try!

After saying that, his figure disappeared, and in the next moment, he appeared

right beside a doll quite a distance away.

Arcane One-Sword Style Tremble!

With a push from his finger, the tachi from his waist flew out, accurately hitting the targets waist.

A weird symbol flashed, and the doll stood still at it position. A Stun status icon even appeared above its head.

Ara?

Bai Yueguang looked at it weirdly. He then turned his body and rushed towards another doll.

Arcane One-Sword Style Tremble!

Similarly, a Stun icon appeared above its head as well.

Tremble! Tremble! Tremble!

This guy he sure is having a fun time!

But, this also means the chances of effects activating increased? How is this possible?

Hey hey, can you stop fooling around?

Well, I just reached a new continent, so I cant help but feel hyped. But anyway, why is this happening?

While saying that, he turned around, and with a single slash, the stunned dolls were instantly cut into pieces.

I wonder.

The effects have a 100% chance of occurring? My tachi evidently only has a 40%

chance of freezing my opponents, so for the success rate to increase to 100%, it would need to be increased by at least three times or more

Three times

I looked at the surrounding dolls. From what I can see, theres at least a hundred of them

Hey It cant be, right?

The dolls are all being controlled by a single person, so the chances of the effects occurring are stacked?

I kind of feel that this is the most reliable answer. Of course, theres no way to actually prove it.

I say, if this continues on like this, there will be no end, right? They seemed to have came up with a way to completely mass produce these things. If we continue fighting them like this, we will eventually tire ourselves to death, right?

Youre right, but we cant do anything to stop them from popping out.

No, theres a way. And thats to find the person controlling them. That doll called Yoei.

Even if that maybe true, we cant determine his location with these many dolls around.

Idiot, we have the ability to see titles. As long as we look for him seriously, we will definitely be able to determine him from the rest. Since our opponent is definitely disguising as a regular battle doll, only people like us will be able to differentiate him from the rest.

Sigh, I guess youre right?

Bai Yueguang scratched his head, and then looked towards the dolls that were rushing towards us.

Then I will head this way, you take that way. Understood.

Even though I said that, but

I looked at my surroundings. The entire battlefield was in chaos. The person thrashing the bunch of dolls as she rammed through every single one of them was probably Tai Shixi. As she executed her charges, scraps of different sizes flew about.

Did she already enter Dynasty Warrior Mode?

And the dozens of mercenaries near the carriages were slowly eliminating their enemies, and Lois was among them.

Although her level was higher than mine, her techniques were very simple. To put it simply, she basically barely possess any skills, and relied totally on regular slashes. And the skill she used was always the same one.

Hence, their mobbing efficiency werent that good, but with the support of Hei Luoli and two other archers, they only had to deal the finishing blow when the dolls enter melee range, so they were doing well in that regard.

Speaking of which, theres really a large number of dolls. If they are really controlled by Yoei alone, its a little Unless theyre semi-automated? For example, in games where you only have to drag your mouse to a certain direction, and your troops will simply head there and attack automatically?

If thats how hes controlling them, then he should be looking from a high place

When I thought of this, I suddenly raised my head to the sky Haah, he cant possibly fly in the sky, right?

Wait a minute, he does not have to be in the sky! As long as he has a perfect view of the battlefield, he can still control them freely as well!

With this thought in mind, I looked at the surrounding forests. As I expected, on the peak of a very tall tree far away, I found Yoeis red name!

Really, if I did not look at it carefully, I would have thought it was a red flower! Since I found you, then I wont ever let you escape!

Super Arcane Punishment Tearing Cross!

Seeing that my MP have recovered quite a bit, I summoned a Punishment Cross on one hand. With my other hand, I pulled out the bow Snowmystel left me,

If I were to throw it, then I might miss him. However, if I were to use a bow Then there shouldnt be any problems.

With all my strength Fire!!!

The red cross flew across the entire battlefield, accurately striking the target on the tree.

With a flash of a red light, a red cross expanded and exploded at the peak of the tree. With the slow dissipating of the red cross, the dolls on the battlefield finally stopped moving, halting in their previous posture.

It seems this Skill Realization system is pretty good, un.

You bastard! You actually stole my kill again! My EXP! Nooooooooo! Looking at Bai Yueguang who was sprinting over, I helplessly shrugged. In any case, the battle has ended!
