“This is…?” Geeta exclaimed in surprise.

Woods slowly appear from inside her armor, covering the parts that got grazed by the demonized owlfolk. Geeta, Azaline, and Claria didn’t question what kind of magic made it happened, it is just that it was the form of Druid Oz’s worry that surprised them.

(So even if their attacks destroyed the armor, the wood will replace it, huh… Just when did he do this…?) (Geeta)

“I see… So he’s worried, after all. I wonder when did he manage to do that, but I guess it’s meaningless to think about it, huh…” said Azaline as she once again ready her bow. The fact that Druid Oz made such a protective system in worry is enough to heighten her fighting spirit to the peak.

“Overprotective, isn’t he?” (Claria)

“True, but I guess we don’t really have the leeway to have a conversation, right now,” (Azaline)

“Indeed…” (Claria)

*Boom!*

The demonized guardian that got sent crashing to the ground by Geeta gets up and shot a firebolt spell towards Azaline. Claria and Azaline’s senses are sharp so they immediately notice it and evaded the spell easily.

“Let’s regroup!” (Azaline)

“Okay~” “Agreed,”

Just like what Druid Oz intended, the two demonized guardians that had tasted the strength of Azaline, Claria, and Geeta decided that they won’t be able to defeat Druid Oz if they didn’t defeat the three of them first.

Because of that, the two demonized guardians regroup just like Azaline, Claria, and Geeta. But of course, the demonized guardian that got sent crashing to the ground by Geeta is wounded. He’s greatly wounded because of it, but it doesn’t mean he’s no longer a threat.

Azaline and Claria witnessed the scene while Geeta experienced it beforehand how the demonized guardian that she land a clean strike managed to take advantage of the momentum to graze her armor with its claws.

“They’re strong,” (Geeta)

“Yeah. Their decision-making, their battle-senses, and their raw strength, no wonder the guardians are feared in the Eastaria continent…” (Azaline)

Right at the moment Geeta’s greatsword touched the demonized guardian’s armor, he immediately realized that he just got careless and will definitely get sent crashing to the ground judging by the great momentum of Geeta’s strike. Knowing that, he bends his body forward, raises his lower body, and stretches his legs, aiming to give Geeta a slash from his claws by taking advantage of her strike’s momentum.

(Even though Geeta might look like an airhead, she’s actually smart, that shock in her expression is not just because of the magic wood that appears from her armor because of Ren’s magic, but she’s also surprised by the quick reaction of the guardians…) (Azaline)

“Are you scared, now?” (Claria)

“Of course not-” (Azaline)

*Whoosh!*

Claria suddenly dashed towards the two demonized guardians in her owl form without waiting for Geeta that is also a melee-fighter like her.

“Wait!” Geeta immediately chased over her.

(That stupid girl! That two damned owls are very strong! You’ll get- She’s damned fast!!) (Geeta)

Claria’s speed is fast, with her strong feet that enable her to make a fast leap, boosted by the powerful wings of the owlfolk, her speed is easily two folds or even faster than Geeta.

Without getting startled, the two demonized guardians expressionlessly dashed towards Claria in response. But still, Claria’s dash is faster than them. But even so, they determined that Claria recklessly rushing towards them alone is an advantage for them. It’ll help them eliminate one of their three targets.

Or so they thought.

*Poof!*

!?!?!?

“Wha!?” (Geeta)

Not only Geeta and Azaline, but Claria’s actions also surprised the two demonized guardians as well.

(S-She transformed into her human form!? And that sword…) (Azaline)

*Slash!* *Slash!* *Slash!*

In a split moment, Claria made the two guardians get a considerable loss. The demonized guardian that already got damaged by Geeta before lost his legs and got a single slash, while the other demonized guardian lost one of his wings.

“She transformed into her human form to evade the attacks from those demons, huh…” (Azaline)

The demonized guardians that had calculated Claria’s speed ready their claws that had been installed with powerful blades and position them to collide with Claria’s claws while the other demonized guardians position them to behead Claria’s head, but it turns out their calculated position became their downfall instead.

The huge body of her owlfolk’s owl form suddenly transforms into the human form, letting Claria easily evade the attacks, and at the same time, she slashed the two demonized guardians that are wide open after having their attacks evaded, and transform back into her owl form.

(That strike, it’s Ren’s dance-like style of swordsmanship…) (Azaline)

Claria’s slash while spinning, allowing her to give two blows in one swing without having her momentum gone. That swordsmanship technique is something that she imitates from Druid Oz when he’s having his personal morning training. She always observes all of Druid Oz’s beautiful techniques when he’s training himself, other than getting fascinated by him, she also observes all of his moves, thinking that it might be useful for her as well.

“Whoa! Not bad, owl girl!! I won’t lose, though!! [Herculean Slash]!!!!!” (Geeta)

The two demonized guardians that got an unexpected severe damage from Claria haven’t managed to regain their balance and composure unluckily need to face Geeta’s powerful strength.

*BOOM!!!!!*

Again, Geeta’s powerful strength sends the two demonized guardians crashing to dozens of trees. But it’s not the end of their attack.

“Sorry, but this is the end! [Arrows of Judgement]!!” (Azaline)

Azaline shoots four magical arrows towards the two demonized guardians, sending two magical arrows to each demonized guardian. But even though it’s called [Arrows of Judgement], the size of the arrows easily surpass a spear.

(This should confirm our victory) (Azaline)

Or so they thought.

*BOOM!!!*

A big explosion suddenly appeared from the direction of the blasted demonized guardians, burning the trees around it.

(An explosion?) (Azaline)

“D-Did that skill of yours have that kind of perks?” Asked Geeta as she is readying her greatsword again.

“No, my [Arrows of Judgement] deals huge damage, but it won’t make such a big explosion. Did they self-destruct themselves…?” Azaline muttered as she couldn’t shake off the uneasiness she’s feeling.

“As expected, huh… But judging from the tension of the atmosphere, it doesn’t seem that they’ve taken the self-destruct route, though…” said Geeta as a wry smile formed on her face.

And suddenly-

“Careful! They’re coming again! They’re not dead yet-” (Claria)

Two figures bigger than before suddenly rushed towards them at a terrifying speed that doesn’t match their size and appearance. 

(That’s the two demonized guardians from before… Does getting to the brink of death triggered them into going berserk!?) (Claria)

“Tch!” Claria clicked her tongue as the two berserk demonized guardians dashed towards her at a terrifying speed. It seems that the two of them are holding a grudge towards her for being the primary reason for their loss.

*Whoosh!*

Claria managed to evade the combined attack from the demonized guardians once again by using the same trick as before. By transforming into her human form and positioning her body quickly with her high agility, he managed to evade the berserk demonized guardians and get the opportunity to deliver a counterattack.

But, unlike before.

*Crack!*

(M-My sword broke!?) (Claria)

“I-It broke!? Just how much stronger did their skin become!?” (Geeta)

As Claria strikes the two berserk demonized guardians with her sword, her sword got broken and shattered into pieces.

(This sensation… It’s as if I’m striking a lump of magic adamantine ore… Just how many times did they got strengthened because of getting berserk!?) (Claria)

Because of the berserk state the two demonized guardians entered, their bodies got bigger for more than two folds, their skin gets even redder, thicker, and stronger than before, while their agility got increased into two folds as well.

(That’s a damned big boost they just got!) (Geeta)

“We need to retreat!” (Claria)

Since Claria failed to deliver her counterattack because of the unexpected toughness of the berserk demonized guardians’ skin, the two berserk demonized guardians easily stabilize themselves and change their directions to chase over Claria once again.

“Tsk!” Claria clicked her tongue in response to how boosted the berserk demonized guardians get. She got chased by the two berserk demonized guardians while getting bombarded with magic spells, dodging all of the spells took all of her focus, leaving her no room to counterattack.

“Azaline! I’m gonna use it!” (Geeta)

“Okay!” (Azaline)

(Use it?) (Claria)

Geeta raised her hand above, but something strange is in her raised hand.

It’s a card.

“Major arcana activate, [The Strength]!” (Geeta)
