The scurry of squirrels faced with the party of four, but where was Minerva? Upon seeing that shadows were coming towards their area in a fast speed she activated the [Basic Stealth] skill and when that is combined with the darkness caused by the canopy of trees, it is almost as if she disappeared. With the use of the [Basic Stealth] skill, if Minerva can use it properly she can catch a Demon Horn Squirrel off guard and lessen the burden on the whole party.

Three of the Demon Horn Squirrels got caught in an agro made by Galen from his [Enraging Roar] skill, and with his tank capabilities and his [Iron Defense] skill reduced the damage being taken from the squirrels. Meanwhile Katelyn and Sayomi each faced their own squirrels whilst Zanser faced the Demon Horn Squirrel Leader as these monsters are AGI based and what better way to take out the strongest one with the most suitable class?

Throughout all of this, Minerva was watching with a somewhat blank expression, an expression that shows her concentration. Like side before, although she may act like an idiot but she's not, well maybe she is.. somehow. She was watching Galen mostly as the rest were mostly fine as even if they couldn't make much damage they could at least avoid the majority of attacks but Galen was facing 3 at the same time and his health was slowly trickling down. Despite this she chose not to attack the one's Galen was facing as it would obviously be much more beneficial to free one of her party members up.

Minerva was just pondering on which one to take out when she saw Zanser landing a few critical hits using his two skills [Dash] and [Extended Blade] and remembered how he stole her prize from earlier with those exact skills. Her face which was originally deep in thought unlike her turned into her usual mischievous grin and her nose scrunched up and her eyes turn into two thin slits. She also thought of an interesting idea she wanted to try out.

She started to gather mana, more specifically the wind element, in her legs and increased it in her wings, which started to sparkle which was almost giving her away from her stealthed position. With a push off the ground she went hurtling towards the Demon Horn Squirrel Leader and with an increasing presence mana surged into her hand making a thin glowing needle. Before the Demon Horn Squirrel Leader got to react to this pressure from behind it was struck and then squealed out with a skill before turning cold. Minerva has plunged the mana needle into the back of the Demon Horn Squirrel Leader which pierced many organs but the most damage did not come from that but from the way she dispersed the mana. She made is disperse frantically which turned it's other organs into a mush like paste rendering it's life useless.

Ding!

Skill Opportunities

Through an effective use of the manipulation of mana, the host has earned an opportunity to gain these corresponding skills if the progression is filled:

[Wing Flash], through the infusion of mana in the wings and legs the user will temporarily gain a momentary speed increase (Increase AGI by 50% when using skill) (Consumes 100 MP per use) [1/3 Progression]

[Mana Needle], through the shaping of mana it has become a piercing object that increase armour penetration (Increase ATK by 20% against armour) (Consumes 75 MP per use) [1/10 Progression]

[Mana Burst], when manipulating mana you can release it in bursts that cause a frenzy mana state. (MP use and ATK gain is relative) (Only active on skills) [1/5 Progression]

-

The Demon Horn Squirrel Leader gave the party a shared experience of 400 EXP each. But before the Leader of the scurry died, it activated it's own skill [Berserk Shriek].

-

Skill

[Berserk Shriek], when under critical amounts of HP this skill can be activated which increases own and nearby allies abilities. (Increase ATK by 30% for 20 seconds) (Increase ally ATK by 10% for 15 seconds)

The rest of the squirrels became enraged and started dealing much more damage than before, the other members of the party were entering a sticky situation. Galen had been holding off 3 squirrels for a while now and with the increase in attack he would only be able to hold on for another minute, whereas Katelyn and Sayomi were able to manage it just about. Before going to help, Minerva flashed a smirk at Zanser.

This time she decided to help Galen out to relieve the pressure off him as the other party members were relatively fine, she did the same as she did previously where she infused mana in to her wings and legs and shot towards a squirrel and not long after that squirrel died from it's organs being melted. Zanser decided to help out Sayomi as her class isn't as good as a Hunter class in taking down monsters with higher AGI.

Not long after, the fight came to an end.

Minerva levelled up the most, which was 4 times and then the rest levelled up 3 times.

Everyone was sat on the floor panting but with bright expressions, as a partly first time party this encounter went extremely well for them. Of course they would have to improve on a few points, but what happened was a good experience. They also noticed that whilst fighting Minerva wasn't running around scared like you would think but instead she had an air of confidence. Obviously that vanished as they finished and she showed a grin, a very wide and proud grin.

"I killed 3 of these monsters and one of them was a leader, hehe~" She stuck her nose up and flashed her pearly white teeth. Her arms were by her waist with the hands on either side, the rest of the party just gave each other glances and each understood that they were thinking the same thing. 'What a shameful Faerie, couldn't imagine her being a Princess if I saw them like that first'.
