Parallel Memory

There were only 6 Rank-B fighters on their side while the incoming enemies had 11 people of which 6 were Rank-A fighters. Although they are more talented than the average person, their vast gap in strength would not be diminished by their talent alone.

Among the six of them, only Hiro could manage to fight with a Rank-A without much trouble. Others were not strong enough to fight Rank-A. More importantly, they were outnumbered by them.

They could have handled it if the number of enemies was less than theirs even with Rank-A on their side. However, the situation was the opposite and not only were they outranked, but they were also outnumbered.

[ "Athena Blessing: Heavenly Strengthening" ]

Lisa cast her spell which raised the stats of 6 of them. While it was taxing on her mana to strengthen 6 Rank-B, however, if she doesn't do that, they might not even last for 5 minutes, much less until her mana is exhausted.

[ "Sovereign Will II" ]

[ "System Double Power Activate!' ]

[ "Shattering Flower Style: Belladonna Dance" ]

To increase their power even further, Zion, Hiro, and Misha used their strengthening skills as well. They didn't hold back with Zion unleashing his Sovereign Will II and Hiro with his system power.

Ever since the battle with Hiro, Zion has been able to control much of his skills. With him ascending to Rank-B, his body could handle much of the power. There was no problem even if he activated Sovereign Will II for 5 minutes.

Anyway, there was no reason to hold back when they knew that their enemies were much more powerful than them. Rather than saving mana or the trump card for the last minute, they should use everything they had to defeat their enemies.

They didn't use Dual Art that they had learned recently as it consumed too much enemy. If they used that they would not be able to fight even for one minute. And their objective of buying time would also fail which they don't want.

They wanted to fight everything they had but at the same time, they had to prolong the battle to a certain extent.

-SWISH!

Immediately, 10 of them arrived on the scene while the last one was taking his time just like Hiro had said. However, even with one of them missing, it was not any better as the current enemy force was still greater than them.

[ "Lightning Strike Apocalypse" ]

[ "Burning Phoenix Rain" ]

[ "Chrysanthemum Blooms" ]

Without any warning, just as they were in sight, Lisa, Sylvia, and Misha released their strongest long-range attack. Because they had time to charge their technique, the power was incredible.

[ [ "Fortification" ] ]

Their Rank-A tanks came forward and formed a big shield to protect everyone.

-BOOM! -BANG!

As a result, their skill was incredible, far surpassing their rank and almost at the level of Rank-A. It is also important to note that the Dark Guild members were also prepared for everything and their tank was highly skilled. With their fortification skill, they negated their power.

Although they indeed blocked their attack easily, none of this was surprising. And it was also not the only thing that they had prepared for.

[ "StarShatterer Style: Starfall Fracture" ]

[ "Celestial Piercing Strike" ]

[ "Unlimited Wind Blades" ]

Hiro, Zion, and Lisanna soon followed with their ultimate technique as well.

The tanks were still defending. They were confident that they could still block the attacks just as they did with Lisa, Misha, and Sylvia.

-PANG!

At first, Hiro was unable to make it past their barrier. However, with Lisa's support skills and System skills, his power was already on par with Rank-A. Not to mention that Starfall Fracture is the technique from a level 8 Art.

-CRACK! -CLANK!

The shield made by two Rank-A tanks shattered soon after. The Dark Guild member was dumbfounded by the situation. They fully knew their teammates' defensive prowess and trusted them to block the attack.

Never in a million years did they think that a Rank-B+ kid would be able to break past that barrier.

After the barrier broke, Hiro's next target was the people of the Dark Guild. However, the one in front of the group blocked his attack with ease. Since Hiro used much of his power to break the barrier, there was not much power to confront that person.

Zion and Lisanna were also attacking from behind Hiro. And unlike Hiro, they were still at their fullest power.

-BANG!

Hiro, Zion, and Lisanna caught the enemy off guard. Even if the enemies were Rank-A, they would still die if they dared to take the attack head-on without any preparation.

-THUD!

Zion hit one of the Rank-A. As he was taken by surprise, he was directly hit. With Sovereign Will II, Zion's strength was no less than Rank-A -. With his technique, he managed to seriously injure one of their enemies.

Lisanna's attack has a large AOE. The "Unlimited Wind Blade" skill is a powerful offensive ability that involves the creation and manipulation of sharp blades made of wind. The user of this skill could potentially be able to summon an infinite number of these blades, which would swirl around them and be at their disposal to launch at their opponents.

Using this, Lisanna launched her thousands and thousands of blades toward the enemy. The enemy was also not prepared for her attack. However, compared to Zion and Hiro, it lacked the power to deal serious damage to Rank-A.

Although Rank-A could destroy the sword or dodge it easily, Rank-B Dark Guild members were all seriously hurt by this technique.

It might seem like Hiro and his friends were able to get an advantage over their opponent, however, that was far from the truth. It was their biggest chance and they used their strongest skill, however, they still failed to take down any Rank-A Dark Guild Member.

"I am surprised!"

One of the Rank-A Dark Guild members said. He also knew that the attack that Hiro and others did was only because they had time for preparation and there would not be any such situation again.

He didn't take them seriously even though some of them had become injured including one of the Rank-A members.

"Looks like the bounty on your heads is really worth its price!"

He continued. He seemed to be some kind of sub-leader since none of the others were interrupting him.

"Hah… Hah… "

Hiro and the others could only listen as they heavily breathed in the air.

They had pushed their stamina and mana to their limit in order to create the previous strong attack. However, it made them tired after using it. Moreover, thinking about the situation they were in, they could not feel any better.

However, that didn't mean they had given up. They were ready to engage in more difficult fights with them.
