Healers Shouldn't be this Powerful

"Ok, let’s see what I was able to learn through her muscle memories" With his almost metal like talons and Speed Simian’s genes he flashed from where he stood like he teleported. Making a beeline to the Grand Laeken. He had noticed that its attention was on Matilda.

Her current position has made her vulnerable, and it seems to know. It opened its jaws,then stood there, ready to receive the meal currently being delivered through the air.

Within seconds Niklaus had already made it there and with a twist, he slashed the beat around its neck. Daxi was surprised by what she was watching. ’When did he...?’ she wondered. But unlike her refine movements, his looked very crude in comparison,

What surprised her, was his stance, attack style and rhythm, it almost matched hers. As for NiklausHe realised the Grand like’s neck was as hard as its back. Quickly he transitioned and squatted, focusing much of his mana in his thighs. Quickly like a frog in a pond, he leapt to the sky, past the jaws and just in time to catch Matilda.

But Niklaus knew one thing, this move was a dumb one, now two people were in the air. With an aerial twist, he threw the short sword right into the throat of the beast. The timing was perfect, The bloody sword morphed its shape as soon as it reached the jaws.

Turning into the strongest structure he could think of... Triangle. Two of them side to side. Holding the opened mouth. Through his connection with the blood he could sense the powerful force of the jaws, threatening to break the two bloody triangles.

Fortunately it held long enough for them to come down, using the blood structure as a footing. This angered the beast, It quickly turned, with its momentum used its tail to attack. Matilda blocked with her sword while he morphed his blood into a makeshift shield. The aftermath sent them flying at high speed,

They finally stopped after breaking a few trees along the way. Getting back at their feet, they advance. Matilda came with an upwards slash, while Niklaus aimed on its neck once more. Just as the attack was about to connect, the beast swiftly dodged the attack.

"Left hand swipe" Niklaus reported. They quickly went back, narrowly avoiding the attack. "Fuck this is hard!!!" Daxi screamed. She stood on her legs, then with a shadow movement, she was next to Matilda and Niklaus in a Second, she made sure to bring Gladious with her.

"Nick, you seem to be able to predict its moment, you should be our coordinator, that thing is hard to wound, so we should aim for its eyes. Perhaps that should give us a chance" Matilda said.

"Yeah, speaking of which, how are you able to predict its movement, you have another skill I’m unaware of?" Gladious asked, his eyes never leaving the beast that was currently repositioning.

"Nothing special, I can just look at its muscle, and eyes, then I can predict the rest" He said with a shrug. "Oh, look at Mr brag here, Nothing special, as if... Humble brag much" Daxi spoke with a teasing voice.

"Here it comes" Niklaus spoke

The beats opened its mouth. Then a devastating growl sounded out. Suddenly the team felt as though their bodies were made of lead. Glued to their location. Their minds started to slow down as well.

’No! The potion is wearing off’ Niklaus realised, by the looks in the eyes of everyone on the team, they had realised it as well. They had become prisoners of their bodies and they were about to get the death punishment.

Sorrow suddenly started to appear within Daxi’s eyes, as if looking at a far, a goal lost before it began. Gladious looked lost. His mind is currently on his family. Niklaus tried fighting, understanding what exactly was happening.

’How did I not see this one?’ A thought born inside Matilda’s mind. Her eyes shifted to Niklaus, she saw his fighting spirit despite being frozen. ’This can’t be how it ends’.

As though fate answering her. A large sound rang out from afar. It was reminiscent of a large freight ship horn but more menacing in its sound. When the beast heard it, it quickly stopped it advances.

Looked around for a moment, then ran away the next moment. The team also heard it. Their minds frightened by what they heard. Silence took hold of them, their heavy breathing echoed through the bizarre lands.

The trees sung with a dancing motion by the wind. Dark clouds moving across the sky, for a moment peace has befallen in the area. But in contrast their hearts rushed blood in their minds, eyes shifted from one spot to another, trying to see what was happening.

You’d be amazed how fear could conquer when the master couldn’t rule the nation. But soon their minds started to slowly return to their thinking pace. Finger tingling and join responding.

Moments later they were back in control of their bodies. But they couldn’t relax nor feel happiness as something worse than what they just experienced could jump out at any moment.

Moments later, the tree branches started to make sounds not far from them. It was getting closer by the second. Niklaus brought out a second blade. But before they could attack a voice rang out.

"We haven’t come here to fight but to talk" The team looked at each other. Niklaus wondered how other raiders came here.

"Seems like you are confused, you just awoke so this news is not known to you. The system can translate the language by manipulating the vibration just right to sound like our language. When you speak it will do so in reverse" Matilda informed him.

His eyes grew larger in surprise then he remembered his conversation with Grus. He just thought he could understand him because they were in his mind.

He almost shook his head in embarrassment when he thought that. Just as he was thinking, two large bodies came out from the trees. Niklaus’s eyes grew in size. His body subconsciously took a fighting pose.

He was looking at One eyed Hermits
