However, most combatants who have learned this technique prefer to use it as a flying sword for distraction and interference. Unlike that simpleton, Hiro, who actually enlarged the surface area of one of the swords and wielded it like a greatsword, while reducing the size of the other sword and using it to weave through the enemy ranks in a needle-like shape.
But you have to admit, perhaps Hiro's combat intuition really did come into play. Combined with his already proficient series of body enhancement techniques, this combat method was quite effective in a considerable number of battles. In several sparring sessions, he either launched me into the air and then ambushed me in mid-air, or he almost broke through my defenses.
It's really unbearable.
Fortunately, I was the one who was more skilled in the end, which saved me from witnessing that guy's smugness reaching the heavens.
That's a story for another time.
After a quick meal, while Heero was being reprimanded by his mentor for his recklessness, I shook my head and, after confirming several times that there were no traces of chimeras remaining in the surrounding area, returned to the team.
The nearby squads were now engaged in lively conversation with the swordsmen and archers, occasionally glancing furtively at Shen Xue, who was leaning against a tree, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
It's great to see them standing here safely. Although this is the most likely outcome if they weren't injured, it at least saves us the trouble of adding new members and having to adjust to the new dynamics.
However, perhaps our team's performance was too outstanding, or perhaps the swordsman and archer's roaming support left a deep impression on the neighboring teams, those martial artists who were already fond of martial arts frequently extended invitations to join forces or form support groups. After some hesitation, I, seeing that things were not going well, stepped in and rejected them.
Let's stop any more dragging us down! We can't possibly handle any more!
On the other side, the argument between the knight and the mage, who were leading the group, was nearing its end. Although both served the city, their different professional habits led them to have slightly different perspectives on issues.
For warriors who are already heavily injured, a cautious, group-based advance is the best option; while for mages who can easily control a large area, using their perception range to explore the surrounding environment in a loose manner is the most effective approach.
The problem was finally resolved by Hero's tutor, who interrupted halfway through the conversation out of frustration.
His approach was equally simple: since neither side could convince the other, they decided to combine their strengths and make sure they could advance cautiously while also securing the surrounding area to prevent cunning monsters from flanking them from both sides.
Soon, the regrouped groups, appearing as a dispersed, yet subtly supportive cloud, moved towards the edge of the gray zone.
Fortunately or unfortunately, this exploration did not last long.
The team failed to reach the edge of the area.
An unexpected giant beast blocked their path, snorting foul-smelling breath in the direction they had come from.
At the same time, the bell that had been hanging from the waist of the leading knight, which should not have made a sound, suddenly rang, its entire body gleaming gold and only the size of a palm, causing the two leading knights to change color drastically.
Something has happened at the Sacred Tree Barrier.
