Siva (Volume 1) The Legend Of The Destroyer

Chapter 25: That Dreaded Laugh

Chapter 25

That Dreaded Laugh

The first day was somewhat quiet. Though there are those experienced hunters on the road they chose to climb the peak, since they all looked young, their group had become a laughing stock.

Especially the guy with the cloak.

Since Siva doesn’t have a visible weapon in him, he immediately became the center of ridicule. 

Somehow, it was surprising to learn that Hawkeye has a short temper with those kind of people. But before she could even sprout trouble for their group, Siva only had to look at those guys and smile. After that, they will be off to where they should be going in double pace, some even run scared not looking back.

This action made Volt and the rest wonder what his smile had and so for the rest of their journey until their second day, they were making Siva smile over and over again.

But alas, there was nothing abnormal with his smile and Siva could only whine at his noisy company.

Finally, monsters started to greet them. Siva knew instinctively that those monsters are not products of his ability and so he let them handle the monsters.

One shot on the vital parts, and the monsters who received Hawkeye’s arrows all lost their will to fight. A finishing blow came from the Sword Mage Volt who uses impact type magic, similar to Siva’s Air Shot.

Then there was the Witch Samara.

She only had two magical abilities in her arsenal, despite her Witch image. It’s because just like Volt who had the image of a swordsman, the two are Engineers who actually is similar to Siva. They use inventions to fight in the battlefield.

Volt’s magic was impact type, imbued on the sword and deals devastating damage. His armor was imbued by magic to increase movement speed and the defense was solely left to the material’s high grade.

Meanwhile, Samara’s magic are Float (from the rare magic list) and a talisman magic, Burn, a fire element damage type magic. But what she uses in fights are not magic since Float consumes 1 MNA per second, she had no room to use Burn to cause damage. After all, it was a weak tier 1 magic and she only uses it for when she was defending from attacks.

But what she uses in fights is a cannon.

Simply put, Volt specializes in melee weapons and armor  engineering while Samara focused on ranged weapons engineering.

Siva was utterly surprised how she used the cannon to deal tremendous damage. Not only it was somewhere in the A-class weapon specs, but the damage output in itself was surprising. With only two shots, she can take care of a D-rank monster and turn it into ashes, literally.

I wonder how long I can defeat a D-rank now.

As Siva pondered in these thoughts, he only watched and observed. While Hawkeye was dealing irritatingly damaging vitally placed arrows, Samara was firing off white volleys of light that finished them off. And for those lucky enough to not get hit by Samara’s large two handed cannon, Volt was cutting those monsters with his surprisingly large sword a third his size. 

His slices burned their skins like paper, leaving any monster who got in his way either dead or on their last breath to die. 

Weakness? This group’s weakness is Agatha. She had Tier 3 healing magic and Tier 2 buff magic. And Siva knew instinctively that this group had first focused on improving Agatha’s Magic Abilities before starting the enhancements on their individual talents. Though in a side note, Samara’s five second delay and cartridge type weapon is a weakness itself while Volt’s enemy is fatigue and Hawkeye’s nemesis is distraction.
