Chapter 142: The Hero bathes in scarlet flames
Before Reylin\'s party battle reached its climax, let\'s turn back a little in time.
Ferocious Bear and her guild members marched against the soldiers and mages to start an epic, fantasy clash!
That clash was one of the first clashes in the Faynom World.
Many players already imagined telling stories about that clash for their friends, parents, and even grandchildren!
"Shatter their helmets, break their armors, and enslave those foolish bastards!" The players chanted during their run, then howls and cries filled the area once two forces clashed.
Powerful skills bloomed like lotuses in both ground and sky.
While mages dominated the sky more or less, the ground belonged to people with sharp weapons and heavy armors!
Blood already spilled, both sides fell, but naturally, a few individuals stood out!
Maya became the focus of many soldiers and grand mages.
"Fourth General Of The Blue Rose Royal Army, Henio!" Henio shouted at Ferocious Bear with his rough and manly voice.
His muscular body stood out with a special armor made for his muscles.
In his right hand, he held a long silver spear! He narrowed his eyes, from within, dark matter bloomed, and his hatred toward players surged!
Maya became the center of that hatred!
She nodded her cute and babyface, "I am Maya! Guild Leader of The Hero\'s Party!"
And thus, the battle began!
Henio resolved and swore to deal with Ferocious Bear alone. However, Princess Rose had left a few Black Roses around him, just in case.
Henio didn\'t just come here to show off his strength and raise the morale of his army by erasing the tough player alone.
The number of players was absurd, and a few special forces had encircled Lioness instead. He could\'ve shared those forces and fought Ferocious Bear together with them.
Alas, the white-haired swordsman fought skillfully with an army.
Aria and Maya actually had opposite playstyles.
One took mana from others and used it alone. Her skill was what actually helped players and the hero herself. On the other hand, Aria used players and their skills like a commander, which was quite a stark contrast to both guild leaders!
As that comparison concluded, Maya and Henio exchanged a few moves.
"Not bad, lass," Henio said as he arched his head back and flaunted his clean armor.
Maya\'s equipment didn\'t suffer any losses either, but the lack of experience became clear between them.
Should this battle continue one versus one, Maya would lose heavily!
[Ferocious Bear: I will spar with him for a little, then use my skills to the fullest! Support me then, okay?]
She sent her message to the guild members, and all of them sent affirmative emojis back.
As her backline confirmed their intent, Maya rushed at Henio to polish her skills. Due to her school club\'s activity and game experience, Maya\'s swordsmanship was much better. She often received praise from her teacher.
Two weapons clanged, air whined, and sparks popped out!
[You have lost -790 HP!]
"Ah!" Maya cried out as she failed to properly reflect the spear!
Blood oozed out of her shoulder!
That was the signal that things turned south, and Maya should focus harder!
For the victory and all residents in the Faynom World, The Hero\'s Sword burst out with golden light. Her abundant amount of mana poured into the sharpest heroic skill!
Far away from the hero, a few players silently hid in the carriage!
Those players were known as Mana Banks.
The hero could use mana from other players, and she was using it quite selfishly most of the time! However, with various players under their banner, concepts such as Mana Bank appeared.
Proposed by Lioness herself, the mana bank concept used players who were too scared to fight en masse! Those players were primarily users of crafting skills, so their mana reserves were exceptionally high.
They were hidden in various places, waiting for the hero\'s call!
A call, she did right now!
BOOM!
"Ughh!" Henio\'s eyes narrowed as he felt a sudden torrent of golden mana!
That was power in itself, but as the hero turned it into a sharp slash, Henio suddenly felt his advantages slipping away!
Even though nothing changed, the appearance of high mana and Maya\'s skill changed the tide of her clash!
High focus contorted Maya\'s cute face, "I will defeat you and save you!"
No reply left Henio\'s lips as the hero\'s pressure sank him and his heavy armor into the ground! Her slashes swept through his body, cutting an armor as if it was butter! His hands had long since given up, and his silver spear dropped onto the ground!
Maya\'s friends also circled Henio, and their skills further pushed the general into his lose pit!
"Sleep!" The hero\'s sword went up, and she slashed at the general last time!
That slash would put him unconscious, and she would take him away to one of their prisons! That kind of resident required immediate action after all!
However, the sudden coldness enveloped everyone around Maya!
People in black clothes surrounded them.
No one could peek into their clothes due to those cloaks, and the owners of these clothes didn\'t want to reveal themselves.
They summoned their mana out, making the temperature fall heavily.
[You can\'t use your skills.]
[Only one skill is available, however!]
Remembering the words of her good friend, Maya\'s face lit up! She didn\'t fall to despair, and her heart drummed with excitement!
Her trembling eyes rose to face those people, her lips slowly curved into a cute smile, "The Red Sky! Yay!"
[You have used The Red Sky!]
With a cute \'yay\', the hero\'s body bathed in scarlet flames. Her skill range was weaker since INT wasn\'t her primary focus! However, the coldness melted on the spot, and the appearance of scarlet flames heavily weakened the black-cloaked men!
The hero declared while grinning from ear to ear, "We are also saving those people! Let\'s do it, everyone! Follow my sword!"
Golden Sun quickly rose as Maya\'s heroic skills returned!
Those skills shone and stood out more in the background of the scarlet flames.
