"You hear that rumbling?!?" The group looked back to see Skadi taking on a monster party.
Although she is fending them off without too much trouble, some gets past her as monsters chased the loki familia members.
"Lefiya. We will protect you no matter how many times." Ais said making Lefiya, the elf, motivated to return the action.
"Awaken: Ariel"
Ais chanted giving her a boost.
"Retreat and begin to chant, Hurry! That girl over there won't handle more for us!" Finn, the captain said.
"Yes!!" Lefiya answered.
-_-_-_-_-
"Im done." Skadi muttered as she hacked on the last rhino.
Grabbing the drops, she went to help the group from before.
"SHOOT! FUSILLADE FALARICA!!!"
As the magic destroyed all the monsters the group celebrated. All monsters were gone. All but one.
"Ariel!" Before Ais could even move, the monster was already sliced in half by Skadi with no effort.
"That was close!" The small amazon sighed in relief.
"We need to head back to the camping ground at full speed!" Finn said as all of them, including Skadi who was being dragged by the short amazon alongside the drops from before.
Reaching floor 50, they were shocked at what they saw.
"Ariel!"
Ais charged forward.
"AIS?! TIONA, TIONE, BETE! FOLLOW!!" Finn ordered.
Skadi got herself off of tiona and stood.
"DRIVE OUT ALL THOSE MONSTERS!!" Finn said as they all moved to their familia.
Skadi, seeing as they've already got the firepower, decided to change from attacking to supporting. Replacing her sword, she got a staff on its place. Her clothes changed from a black dress into a red dress. her black hat changed into a blue-like hue. the bag where she kept her sword changed into a box with unknown contents.
"These things... I have seen them too many times. Nobody needs things like these anymore."
She said while beginning to prepare one of her supporting skills.
She then summoned a seaborn in order for her to hitch a ride.
"Now then, please listen to the song of the distant sea..."
Skadi, finishing her chant for her skill, Begins to free fall while her Seaborn companion acted as extra range.
"The Tide Surges, The Tide Recedes"
Aura was given off both of the two seaborn as it helped boost the strength of the adventurers and heal their fatigue, wounds, and deal damage to the monsters around the two.
"What the-"
"Who's she?!"
"DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHO SHE IS?!?!?"
"If she is a part of our familia, I wonder how she would fare to Captain's scoldings."
Members of Loki familia watched as she Provided support to the adventurers even if it was only for 20 seconds.
"What's happening?!"
"We're doing more damage than before!!"
"WE HAVE SUPPORTING MAGIC! USE IT TILL ITS GONE!! CLEAR THE MONSTER PARTY!!"
"My wounds. . .THEY'RE SLOWLY HEALING!!"
the Inspire effect invigorated everyone in the range as the monsters slowly but surely began to be pushed back and dwindle.
As the skill ended, Skadi casted another skill in order to help.
"No more lives should be lost. Chant of Returning by Varied Paths"
Heading towards the vanguards area in order to get them in her range. Most of them took scratches and bites which got transferred to Skadi. She might be feeling a lot of pain, but she has felt worse pain, stopping her from faltering.
"Bombard them with magic!!" A green haired elf said.
"Right away Riveria-san!" The mages said as they finally annihilated the monsters.
Knowing most of the battle finally subsided, She let herself heal for a bit and switched back to her original clothes and back to her sword.
"we're very sorry to drag you in our fight." Turning around, Skadi was met with an Ais lowering her head in gratitude.
"You did amazing, protecting your familia." Skadi complemented as Ais stood up straight.
"Ais, would you mind explaining?" Riveria asked the sword princess.
"No time. A new one is coming." Skadi then grabbed her sword.
Suddenly a large monster appeared surprising the familia.
"Ais!"
the others who stayed on the bottom caught up.
"you're fightin-" Fin was cut off by Skadi.
"Let me fight it. I'm used to fighting alone." Skadi said as she activated Wave Leaping strike.
"At least let Ais he-"
"This is nothing compared to the calamities I fought against."
Skadi's performance from before made finn a bit okay with it, but he could not let anyone fall, especially someone they dragged into the mess they are supposed to deal with.
"Are you okay if you team up with ais?"
"I am quite skilled at teamwork too, however..." Skadi frowned.
"It'll be fine then. Ais is quite strong so she won't slow you down."
"Captain! are you serious!?" Lefiya asks.
"Don't worry about me Lefiya." Ais reassured.
Lefiya reluctantly left with the other familia members as all that were left were ais and skadi.
"So you're ais, the sword princess." Skadi glanced at her teammate.
"Mmh. You are a new adventurer I take it?" Ais asks.
"Skadi, New adventurer, No familia."
what Skadi said shocked ais. but she just shook it off and started to fight the monster with Skadi.
"I'll grab the attention of the monster. just hit it without grabbing it's attention too much."
with that said, Skadi rushed as ais followed.
With Skadi keeping its attention by cutting off its arms, Ais began to move according to her plan, seeing as she had already seen through the monster.
"NOW!" Ais said.
