"I think she is using the best strategy possible against a mage. The movements are hard to lock on to so they need to continue to adjust spells which slows them down. Then she attacks just enough to deal slight damage and make them unsteady. This will work well while we travel." Su was extremely happy to see the tactics that Midnight had developed through this training. She had a feeling that this was always there and waiting for the chance to come to fruition. 

Midnight was sneaking behind one of the mages after forcing them to split up with a threatening punching motion. The mages knew all too well that they could not block her physical attacks and stayed at a distance. This made them step back and separate leaving them in the position they were in now. 

Midnight quickly goaded them in tpo surprise and they released multiple spells. This quick unthinking attack made them drain more mana than they wanted and caused the last few elves to hit the ground completely losing consciousness. 

Midnight took a few steps and they fell flat too. Her breathing was heavy and she appeared to be more timer than ever before. "Sister never stopped moving the entire time. She said that if she stopped she could get hit." Onyx shared what Midnight had been thinking. 

"I bet that is from the slime attacks. They were deadly once they hit us and that was motivation for me to want high agility." Su spoke out about her own fears after being in that situation. Su already wanted faster agility due to the fact that she had not improved it enough to properly block for everyone easily. After battling the slime she had another reason on the list. 

There was a flurry of enforcers coming to heal and fix up the remaining mages only to find that Midnight had not actually harmed a single one. She had spent the entire time exhausting their mana slowly until they fell unconscious of their open accord. "You look like the rest of us. The only one left is Gil now." Midnight let out a soft hiss hearing that it wasn\'t time to sleep yet.

"Actually, he should be done soon right? Those elves can\'t have enough energy to keep up making arrows for long." All eyes glanced toward where the archers were. Scylla in particular wanted to head over and see what they had created. 

"I will pull out some snacks for everyone while we watch. I have plenty of jerky from the horned rabbits that my mother made." Walker was happy to share the snack which also got Midnight back up and moving. He was glad to see her well and completely uninjured. "I heard you kept a good eye on your little brother. Nice job." Midnight was nearly purring as Walker patter her head too. Even more so when Onyx slithered down to her back and spoke to her. 

Walker already knew that the two were sharing a moment so he let them walk in peace. He couldn\'t imagine their bond being anything but this way. It was stronger than anyone could ever know. Their different monster species could not matter in the least because at the end of the day they were family and that was all they cared about. 

"Is it just me or did the ground just shake?\' Remey and Su were both standing very still looking toward the archers. They could already see many who had fallen down due to their lack of mana. The only thing was that they were all fallen around the area where they were testing arrows before. 

"I can\'t believe they would test those new arrows without me there to wat!" Scylla shot from where she was at high speed to see what was going on. She was just in time to see Gil release an arrow radiating darkness elemental mana. "I can\'t believe you!" 

Gil was too focused on his arrow in the air to look at Scylla, however, Scylla was also focused on it and was not looking at Gil either. The arrow was slowly dipping toward the ground even though Gil had shot it straight. This would have been odd but the shadows suddenly jumped up and the arrow disappeared. In the next moment, the shadow appeared under the dummy and pierced it. 

"Darkness elemental arrow using ebony oak and rock scorpion stinger as an arrow head is successful. It is the best version yet." Gil said this like it had been repeated a hundred times. "Oh, hey. I didn\'t think you would all be back so soon. You were here just a minute ago."

Gil had lost all track of time after they had left. "Umm, yeah...What have you been doing?" Walker saw the dark circles under Gils\' eyes and realized that Gil wasn\'t running out of mana due to his absorption skill. This meant that he was piling on the mental stress the entire time. 

"Well, we all tried to make new arrows. The enforcers brought more materials. Some elves made it to the fourth round of testing but most didn\'t and these ones here have the same skill as me." Gil pointed to a group of elves that appeared to be more like zombies than elves.
