Faster than a pack of wolves, the Sirens sprang into action. Jas and Lilly rained lead on the yer as Liv, Jo, Aki and Robyn charged forward. Be remained by my side as she gestured for her army to begin their assault.
Seeing their fervor, I knew I had to know what they were up to before I joined the fight.

[Members online: Minerva (Admin), Henry, Alphonso, Sabel, Ishtar, Rhiannon, V, Satis, Freyja, Inari]
[Minerva: You all saw earlier, right? Despite being blown to kingdome, this bastard still didn''t die. This was even after he was sted with Sacreds.]
[Satis: I cannot find his soulgem, he might have found a way to conceal it].
[Ishtar: Phantoms have always been resourceful in hiding their soulgems. Press on! We will find it eventually.]
[Freyja: I will keep him upied, I leave the rest to you all.]
[Inari: Jo-san, we will try to probe his defenses. Robyn, we leave the final blow to you.]
[V: A. Do I have to? Tsk. I wanted to fillet this fucking piece of shit for a long time already! Jailbait switch with me!]
[Rhiannon: Get stuffed nut job, none of your {Fates} have anything on {Crush}.]
Running like a well-oiled machine, I didn''t know if my girls were like this because of training or natural talent.
Ask any gamer and the way they fought an army and a boss was obviously different.
I had seen the Sirens fight armies many times before, but this would be the first time they would all attack the same enemy.
As I was about to join in, a soft hand grabbed mine along with a sweet sounding voice.
"Honey. Do you trust me?"
"I do," I replied immediately.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Then please do not join the fight. Until I tell you to."
"But! I..."
"Please, honey. It is important. You are our trump card. Watch our fight and learn. Okay?"
"...."
Robert, undaunted by the Sirens, began shing the air. Like a video game character, red energy shot out of his polearm like projectiles and assaulted my girls. Before they could connect however, orange portals opened and swallowed them all up.
Dazzlingets of light raced toward the yer in response. The air around the yer solidified to block the 7.62 Sacreds. The walls of blood shattered like ss, but somehow the bullets missed.
In the next instant, Liv charged with [Battering Ram] and crashed into our opponent. Despite her size and momentum, the yer stopped the Northerner in her tracks.
Twisting his weapon he began to bash her with heavy swings. Liv fended him off with her shield and the 1887. Liv used as the shotgun as both a club and a gun.
Two figures came from above and to Liv''s left. Both concentrated their weapons on Robert''s left elbow and right shin. Unfortunately, his cloak moved again, shielding him from their attacks.
It was only then that Robyn jumped over Liv''s shoulders as she brought a dagger down.
"{CRUSH}!"
With his arms pinned by Liv, Robert braced himself to take the dagger. But despite the small size of the de, it struck his shoulder with such force that Robert was forced to the ground.
As she let go of her weapon, my She and the rest of the Sirens separated from him. ck drones suddenly swarmed him en mass. Devastating explosions followed as over thirty switchdes bombarded Robert.
Despite being connected to the samework and knowing their ns, I still couldn''t keep up with my girls. Their battle senses went beyond just {Fates}.
No one said anything about Be sending the Switchdes. But the moment Robyn knocked him down, everyone else was already retreating from the yer.
Lilly didn''t exin that she would deal with our opponents'' counterattacks. But it was obvious from the speed with which the melee fighters moved that they expected her to.
As I watched the explosions that had yet to cease, the Sirens brainstormed again.
[V: Well, that was fucking useless. Anyone got anything?]
[Rhiannon: His body''s not that tough. It felt like a normal person.]
[Freyja: Aside from his resilience, he seems weak? Even the warriors who shared lifespans before were more difficult to defeat.]
[Satis: I don''t like this... Something''s wrong...]
[Minerva: I know how everyone feels, but what choice do we have?]
[Ishtar: Be, have the children keep him upied, we need to think of a n.]
[Inari: Everyone, make sure you eat snacks. The new {Fates} all use up a ridiculous amount of Stamina.]
Alfonso and Henry started unloading everything they had onto the yer. Regrouping, the Siren and I continued to discuss ideas.
[Limitless: Everyone, can we pool what we have of Robert''s {Fates}?]
[Ishtar: His most famous ability is {Blood Feast}. It turns the area he fights in into his personal space. Here he gains the ability to control blood.]
[V: The 2nd {Fate} he has is {Sanguine Armor}. Any blood at his disposal can be hardened to create walls and armor. The amount he uses determines its effect.]
[Inari: From the reports, his 3rd ability is {Carnival of the Damned}. An endless buff that increases his damage and speed the more blood he spills.]
Up until this point, these were the abilities we were able to find. The Phantom abilities that the yer had were rarely reported because he left no survivors after acquiring them.
[Minerva: I analyzed his fight with Honey from the beginning. His next skills are {Transfusion}, which heals his injuries. And {Vendetta}, which is a damage-return skill.]
[Freyja: If it''s simr to my {Counter}, why hasn''t he used it yet?]
[Satis: Be careful, we only know five skills. If he is at level 6, he should have one more. [Weak point targeting] doesn''t detect any soul gear. Nor does he have Kindred.]
[Rhiannon: Why are you all so worried? We have [Autoload]. Even if he tries, it''s very hard to kill us!]
Although Robyn''s words were true, I still felt that we were missing something. The difference in the ferocity of how Robert fought now and during the Krishna''s fight was like night and day.
''Is that because we have be stronger? No, he was highly evaluated. It must be something else.''
The main difference between now and a week ago was that Robert was able to farm blood because more than fifty Wraiths died to his de. Unlike now, where he has yet to take a single life.
Maybe that was the reason? Not being able to stack {Carnival of the Damned} made him weak? I was about to express my observations when something wet hit my face. It was simr to rain, but I smelled a metallic scent.
"Blood?"
I wiped my cheek and saw red. The speed of the downpour increased as we were bathed in red. The Sirens and I all looked up as we scanned the sky for the source of the rain.
Only to find a huge ball of sanguine liquid. But then we suddenly felt Robert''s soul signature change. It quickly began to increase in depth. In less than five seconds, what my soul sensing detected had already left the ranks of the Phantoms.
"Fuck me dead! Is this for real!" Robyn yelled.
Jasmine shook her head. "He''s ascended, no. He was hiding his true power the whole time. I didn''t think it was even possible."
"WOW! NOW I CAN BEAT HIS ASS WITHOUT RESTRAINT!" an Italian chirped in delight.
A message then echoed in my mind.
[Mithridate ss 2 poison detected. Poison neutralized by {Digest}. All {Fate} loans have been purged.]
"Be."
"Not yet. My children! Take him down!" Be roared.
[Alfonso | Henry | Sabel: Yes Mother!]
Just then, even under the fire of 30mm Bushmasters, we all saw the yer rise. His cape, which grew longer, covered his body like a guardian.
The MAARs, Switchdes, and Ripsaw M5s all marched up and pummeled the yer with everything they had. But the next moment he jumped into the air.
In response Lilly and Liv ran forward like Olympic sprinters.
"LIV! HURRY!" "I KNOW! [BATTERING RAM]!"
"Tsk. {Blink}," Lilly invoked.
She suddenly appeared next to one of the M5s.
"[TANK]!"
The American Princess cast my strongest defensive skill on Alfonso''s Micro Tank. But something fell from the sky and cleaved it in two!
