Outcast Hunter

Priscilla's heart softened and at the same time, it aches, when she heard Leo say the words "I need your help"

Confidence build up inside her. His words was not that convincing, but, for some reasons, the sincerity and the conviction in his words' the one that brought her confidence back.

"Hmmu! All right! But, what should I do?"

Leo had not thought about it either, don't ask him. He just shrugged his shoulder on her and spoke:

"He's coming. Use whatever skill you have and help me fight him"

Kratos came flying. Leo and Priscilla both felt the ground shakes as he landed. Wasting no time, he continued what he was doing all the time, that is, to kill Leo.

Before Kratos came, the two had already move to a location where they would be executing their plan. Nonetheless, Kratos, he easily tracked Leo's whereabouts and dashed towards where he was hiding..

"Shit! He already knows where I am"

He did not wait for Kratos to get him out of his place, instead, he revealed himself that instant and face him head-on. Their fight continues. This time, Leo had no worries. He can now focus on their fight and he can, again, go all-out.

"Can I really do this? What if I fail? Won't that be be bad?"

Priscilla let out a deep sigh and breathe in to calm herself down. She was on standing on a tree branch, tough enough to carry her. Well, she's not that heavy. I guess.

"No, no, I can do this!" Convincing herself as she nodded her head. "All right, here goes nothing!"

She then began her inaudible chant. A language any normal human could not comprehend but only to those who don't understand magic and mana. Well, who understands it?

"He only needs a single second to distract the monster. Only a single second!"

Leo's holding himself back against the fierce Giant Slayer, Kratos. Who has been running rampant and hostile ever since.

'Creeping Plant of Vinum, Trailings'

She can hold her skill for about 5 seconds and charge it up for a better and powerful skill. But, only for a short span of time. It will go wild and will cast off by its own if the timer hits.

"The timer's ticking! I need the go signal!"

'Done already?! But, I'm nowhere near done to my objective!'

Leo leaped back a bit to Priscilla's skill range. Kratos thoughtlessly followed the running prey, swinging both arms of his. His arms were like a real blade. It's even making clang sounds as Leo parried his attacks.

'Ghost'

Leaving behind his clone. He went full throttle and battle against the inevitable calamity.

"I can't hold my skill anymore!"

And with that, her skill ran wild. All of the roots of the trees under the ground had came up into the surface and caught anyone it set its senses on. Priscilla's an exception since she's the one who used the skill. That's a given.

Even Leo was targeted by the skill. He switched positions with his clone. The roots and the vines were persistent. It kept on coming and it was following him, Kratos too. At first, it was just the tiny, thin roots. As seconds goes by, the roots were getting thicker and it was hard to cut.

Kratos was swallowed and enveloped whole by the roots. Whilst Leo barely escaped from their grasp.

"That's some wild magic"

He gave her a thumbs up and gave his sweetest smile. She blushed, beet red. It may be because of the heat or something else had made her turn red.

"Hope this skill end this bastard"

'Mana Pool'
