'Scarred Owl

Rank B System: Manipulation Type

Charmer

Rank B System: Manipulation Type'

Zero recalls the information he had on these two.

'I knew there was someone with a charm system behind this mess but to think it would be these two brothers,' He thinks as he smiles on his lady luck.

Being a person who has been charmed for God knows how long, he has developed an immunity to charm magic over the years. As if that was not enough, he took extra time to look into ways to neglect and deflect charm magic too. Somewhere along the lines, he himself ended up finding different ways of using Charm Magic.

Perhaps in this timeline there are only a handful of people who can put Zero under their control using Charm Magic.

"We will go with Plan A," Zero speaks as he begins to move forward. The others nod at him seriously and also begin to move forward behind him. Looking at their movements, Scarred Owl and the other guy, Charmer, narrow their eyes at them. Especially at Zero, who was supposedly leading the charge.

...….

A few moments ago in the waiting hall.

"Since there is limited time, there are only 2 ways we could synchronise all of our abilities.

First, let's call it Plan A, is to use our abilities in a way not to hinder others but also make sure it doesn't go completely to waste. For that, everyone shall use their abilities at an interval of 2 seconds each and only when they feel needed.

It's not much of a plan, but our priority lies in getting out of this place rather than killing everyone out there. So make sure you survive there. Also, using others as a shield is prohibited or else if the enemy doesn't kill you, I will make sure to give you a painful death.

Next, Plan B, If the enemy is too strong or out of our reach, then we shall neglect any attack and scatter in different directions. It's honestly stupid, but what's more stupid is fighting an enemy you can't win against. Is there anything else anyone needs to add?" Zero speaks out loud as he looks at the crowd in front of him.

"What if we are capable of killing the enemy?" A man from the back speaks and Zero looks at him as he searches for that man's information.' William. No surname, everything else unknown'

"William, we can alway kill the enemy. There are very rare instances where you can't kill the enemy. But that requires knowledge, creative thinking and pre-planning. Lots of strategizing and other stuff. Unfortunately, given our situation, even if we see who or what the enemy is, we still can't make sure that that is all there is to them.

There might even be more enemies hiding behind them, or maybe the enemy that may look weak can be hiding something powerful. In this situation, unless you really have a reason to kill, I suggest you prioritise escaping." Zero spoke and many nodded at his words.

William, too, made an understanding face as he gave a thumbs up to Zero. Zero smiles in return before looking at William again, wondering who William really is.

....

-Whoosh

Some of the frogs started jumping at Zero and the others, but before they could reach, a dozen shields came in front, blocking the monsters.

Following that, a few more attacks came from Zero's group and the monsters were pushed aside before Zero's group started to accelerate towards Scarred Owl.

Looking at the situation, Scarred Owl and Charmer couldn't help but look at them with their eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

"How can they…. How the f*ck can they use their systems?!!! Charmer?!" Scarred Owl speaks with a ridiculed expression as he looks at Charmer, who wasn't having any different expression either.

Charmer looks at his System to confirm the number of people who are under his charm and finds that there is no change in that number. This made him even more confused, as he could not comprehend what was going on.

"I don't know. My System says that the charm magic is still on," Charmer panicked as he realised that if the higher ups get to know that his charm magic has become useless they will surely dispose of him.

"Well, f*ck it. Looking at their current power, it seems that it hasn't been long since they could use mana. I am going to capture them all by myself. You try to charm them again and see if it works," speaking that Scarred Owl started using multiple skills and increased the power of the monster by a fraction.

Meanwhile, Zero and the others were hurriedly moving towards them as they were dodging and pushing aside the frog monsters. Zero, noticing that the frog monsters were under charm, couldn't help but smirk as he waited for the perfect moment and slowly and slowly uncharmed those frog monsters before asking those around him to push the uncharmed monster towards Scarred Owl.

This created a small chaos among the monsters as half of them began attacking their own breed.

'Looks like they didn't like to be controlled by someone else,' Zero thought as they kept pushing through.

Even though Scarred Owl was trying his best with multiple skills to enhance the monsters and to hit them, the fact that he was losing control of more and more monsters made him panic as sweat trickled down his forehead.

After using up a lot of his mana, he could barely keep the situation in check. He looked at Zero and the others moving towards him and then his eyes reached his partner, who had already reached towards one of the prisoners as he tried to charm him again.

"Please succeed or we would all be dead meat!!" Scarred Owl prayed as he saw Charmer initiating his magic.
