Y/n's Pov
I stood by Melty as I watched the timer in my corner slowly count down, 5 minutes remaining before the start of the 3rd wave. I looked over the the equipment I had equipped, making sure everything would be fine. I had [*spiked* Meteor chains] with [Vampiric spade] on the end. I planned on changing my armor but I wouldn't be able to do that while at the castle, without gathering suspicion about where I got the armor so I only had my cloak with a left arm guard and knee padding. She looked at me and frowned "are you sure you will be okay with so little armor? I could ask to have some guards armor brought to you" I shook my head "no, this will be fine. Besides, the guard armor here is flimsy and restricts movement too much for my style of fighting" Melty nodded slowly before looking down, standing silently for a while before speaking again. "good luck out there.. and be careful." I nodded and smiled at her "You dont have to worry about me Princess Melty, I am not yet your official companion." she huffed and glared at me, her cheeks puffed out "I can worry about my friend can't I?" "hmm. yeah, you are allowed to worry about friends. Don't worry too much about your soon to be personal guard to much though, it indicates that you don't think me strong enough" She nodded slowly and sighed "just.... ugh. Don't get hurt out there dummy." I watched as the timer started reaching zero "don't worry, I only know of 2 things that can hurt me. and neither can happen during this wave" a circle of light started around me as the counter passed bellow 10. I held the end of my weapon ready and smiled "see you soon" and with that, I was teleported away.
I looked around at the area I was sent to, the sky was already red wiht the rifts opened up in the sky, dropping monsters down upon a nearby village. In the distance there was a flying ship, no doubt the boss of the wave this time. The three stooge heroes ran off in the direction of the ship, completely ignoring the Village that was under attack. I sighed and looked over at Naofumi as he began ordering a group of knights to go help evacuate the village. Naofumi looked over at me and frowned, I nodded to him and took off towards the village, noticing Rifana following after me. I slowed a bit so She could catch up to me before going up to the pace she was running at. "Master Y/n, where have you been?" "you don't need to worry about that right now, focus on evacuating the villagers safely, stick with Raphtalia since you work better with her. I don't want to risk hitting you with a stray strike" She nodded and split off from her, heading towards the group Raphtalia was in. I looked ahead and let my chain unravel slightly before launching the spade at the end ahead of me, stabbing right through a [Lizardman] then pulling on the chain to launch myself forward and over it, wrapping the chain around it's neck on my way by before pulling on the chain, sending the now dead monster into small squad of [Skeleton Soldiers], breaking them apart.
The village evacuation took 3 hours to complete, but the wave was still not over. I frowned and followed the sound of fighting to rejoin with Naofumi and the others. "Naofumi. We need to go find out what those idiots are doing that is taking so long." Naofumi nodded and looked over at the knights and an old lady that seemed to be easily taking out the monsters. "right, we will leave defending the village to them, Filo, Raphtalia, Rifana, let's go" The three nodded and we headed off towards the flying ship. When we got there we saw the Bow hero taking shots at the ship with his party. Naofumi questioned him before having Filo take us up onto the ship to see the other 2 heroes fighting different Mini bosses without coordinating will at all. They argued with each other over which should be fought first, before Naofumi interrupted them and started figuring out how to actually summon the boss of the wave. Once the [Soul Eater] had appeared, the heroes began launching lightning attacks at it, barely chipping away at the health. Naofumi was getting ready to activate his rage shield, but I jumped down next to him and put a hand on his shoulder. He looked at me, frowning "What?" "you know the effect of activating the cursed shield. If you are going to use that shield, take the ring." Naofumi stared at me "what happens if you lose control again" I chuckled and took the ring off my finger, putting it in his palm "It's gonna take a lot more than some curses to take control of me a second time." Naofumi nodded slowly and put the ring of his hand before activating his rage shield. He began to head to fighting the {Soul Eater], using a combo skill. I wasn't able to watch as Notifications flashed in front of my display, curses activating and trying to pry control over me again, however one warning stood out to me. [Warning!: personality synchronized. Sin Series: Pride is at full synchronization, drawback removed. personality will begin permanent symbiosis]. Before I could do anything, the other notifications disappeared, leaving that one to take up my vision before I blanked out.
