Outcast Hunter

Upon fusing as one with his weapon, Kratos, he became more violent, fierce, and were accurate in each and every attack he'd given to Leo. However, with Leo's current status and skills, Kratos never landed a serious damage to him, but all of his attacks were as sharp as a sword. Grazing Leo all over his body, even if it's just a shallow cut, the number of attacks, however were giving him a hard time and was losing so much of his HP.

"Why don't you move?!"

Priscilla, her whole body froze in fear. She wants to do something, help him. She wants to be of use. But, what can she does? She's inexperienced. This was supposed to be her debut as a Predator.. Ever since she was a child. She dreamed of going on a journey, to fight and hunts monsters that no other man had ever killed or captured. She'd done morning, afternoon and evening training just to master and improve her skills and magic. It was supposed to be easy. Yeah, that's what she'd always thought. She always had it easy. Be it in life or anything.

"Absolutely fascinating!"

Kratos shows no opening. He's becoming more and more precise. Not just his attacks, but also his movements. He kept powering up, using his skills.

'This is tiring. I really hate it, getting push to the edge and having to dodge every time without even striking back'

Leo had used his skill Misty Step. The skill was still cooling down. Ghost's all that's left and Mana Pool, that can turn souls into mana and make a blast!

"What?! He's even modifying his arm!" Leo exclaimed.

Both arm of Kratos had turned into sharp blades. He charged and kept Leo occupied.

"Cut me some slack!"

The two expedited, circulating around the forest. Priscilla's naked eye could not follow their movements anymore and shock waves were carrying the leaves, floating in the air. Even the still intact leaves had been pulled out, only the branches left.

The shock waves had the nearby monsters fell into rage and runs rampant. Low-tier monsters became scared and scattered, running away from the fight.

In the course of time, Leo had lost almost half of his HP, again, right after he restored his HP earlier. There's no time to drink HP potions. Even if he tries to, Kratos will not let him.

Kratos lunge, lowering his stance and then, from below, he strike. Leo, using both of his hands to parry the attack, flew away. All of the trees his back hits, all broke until there's nothing left to break.

[Caution! HP was down to 41%]

Leo groaned. "Umm, Priscilla, I think I need some assistance." Leo was back to where they were before. There she was, standing still, but soon flinched when she heard Leo's voice. She's disheartened. Knowing the fact that she could do less that is.

"Wh-what can I... do? My legs' feeling numb and... and my body, it won't move! I'm scared!"

She began sobbing, both hands covering her face. And with that, her knees weakened and soon, she fell on her knees.

"Hey, look at me." He's trying to get her attention. "I know you can do something. Argh! Saying such cringe lines isn't my forte"

Leo quickly get up and helped her up. He even wiped the maiden's tears for her. Wow, how gentlemanly.

"I'll skip all the dramatic lines and say only this. I need your help"
