Reylin was one of the important, if not the most, players in the whole alliance.

  Was it wise to leave him with just one player and resident? Even a donkey would predict that a hidden force would try to attack him from the shadows!

  Lioness and Ferocious Bear had talked about it with him. Still, Reylin just requested one tank to support him and Emilia.

  Emilia's flames healed!

  As long as she could conjure those flames, Reylin believed no one would be able to kill him.

  Steel Melody's abilities also rose. She was natural, both masochist and the tank, so her abilities greatly supported the couple.

  "Let's have some fun, you sneaky bastards! Massive Taunt Area!" Steel Melody's shield let out terrifying roars as if she had sealed a beast here.

  Those roars became visible, akin to the thunder, and all her opponents stopped moving.

  Her skill clearly slapped the black-cloaked group!

  Alas, they didn't move toward her!

  Steel Melody batted her eyes, "What's wrong? I am sure I've marked all of them!"

  Reylin narrowed his eyes, "They have frozen their bodies. So we are dealing with that kind of Black Rose Group."

  The Blue Rose Kingdom used to experiment with the mana.

  Yuki was one of the humans who had been experimented on. That project naturally failed as no one was worthy of an Ice Mana except the ones chosen by the ascended.

  Still, it raised strength and ice aptitude on the experimented ones.

  Unfortunately, their emotions faded, and Yuki was the last to have her emotions frozen by that invasive mana.

  Before she completely lost herself, Reylin learned a few things about them and that project.

  "Perhaps, she is one of those," Reylin smirked.

  Emilia widely smiled next to him, "So before they get free, I will kill them all!"

  She couldn't fight with them without her life on the line!

  Those were assassins, and all needed a proper mindset to face them! Killing them was only natural, and Emila's guns fired out her holy flames with the same conviction!

  One of them was the gun she'd received from the Burial Ground Dungeon! It was a weapon Reylin had played with using his Flame Artist Class.

  That weapon no longer looked like an old gun due to his imagination and power!

  The second weapon was a replica.

  Although it was slightly weaker than the original one, it allowed Emilia to combine her best abilities and reach her potential.

  Naturally, not just the looks changed. The gun was just better, be it speed or reload!

  BANG! BANG! BANG!

  Emilia didn't leave Reylin's side.

  She just took her shooting pose like a cowgirl and sent bullets after bullets against all enemies around them!

  Emilia's bullets left scorching trails and sounds, then splashed on black-cloaked people.

  What looked like her momentum changed rapidly as the bullets left no damage at all. Instead, she just melted their ice aura.

  That aura had long since absorbed the taunt skill, and it was ready to shatter it at any moment. However, ice was quite versatile, so they used it as a shield against Emilia's fire bullets.

  It looked like she got played the fool, but Emilia's mood didn't sour.

  Her gun reloaded, and she lifted it up!

  Alas, her opponents had disappeared from her view! Emilia knew that assassins had entered one of their secret techniques.

  Meanwhile, Steel Melody pouted from disappointment.

  She returned to Reylin and Emilia's side, then released her defensive techniques on them.

  Transparents walls formed around the couple, covering all directions should an assassin try a sneaky attack!

  Steel Melody buried her shield in the ground and patiently waited for the assassins to come out!

  "They are preparing some ice skills for us. In this case, we should attack them first," Reylin chuckled as he casually lay on the ground with his head resting on his head.

  He pointed his finger at Emilia's ass, "Move those cheeks and slay all of them for me. With my Black Rose Class, I can pinpoint their location. Follow my marks."

  He lay worse than young masters from famous novels.

  Reylin even taunted Steel Melody, "No one is banging you and your shield! Ah, those poor assassins! They miss some fresh content."

  "Shut up," Steel Melody and Emilia replied in tandem.

  Reylin's minimap flashed with red dots.

  Those dots also appeared in Emilia's eyes as Reylin's system was a completely new concept, which allowed him more room and options!

  She saw the hidden assassins and smirked, "Hmm…… Showtime!"

  Emilia's legs lit up in flames. Using the same ability as her boyfriend, she rushed forward, leaving the grass burning!

  Her guns lit up as well, and bullets flew in all directions.

  Steel Melody squinted her eyes, "Is she missing them?"

  Reylin chortled, "She is missing on purpose."

  Emilia purposely missed those assassins.

  After most of them stopped caring about her bullets as much as before, Emilia's gun suddenly pointed at one of them!

  Her gun aimed for the black-cloaked person's head.

  BANG!

  [-1250 HP!]

  [You have spread your holy flames on an unknown person!]

  Her shot left a deep hole in the man's skull. A bullet deeply lodged itself within, spreading flames from the inside!

  Those flames lit up his whole head!

  Any average human would've long since screamed from pain! But, this man just lifted his hands and used one of his ice skills to stop the flames!

  Alas, Emilia didn't allow him!

  Four more bullets penetrated through him, then Emilia's voice rang out loudly, "Volcano Pentagram!"

  On the man's back, the pentagram drew itself. It started spitting out flames relatively instantaneously.

  That skill turned Emilia's opponent's HP into MP, then spat it out like a volcano!

  The man's HP rapidly dropped, turning each second of his life valuable.

  Reylin whistled while laying on the ground, "That's one of my favorite skills from my Emilia's assets. She spreads flames in a similar way to me."

  "You've turned her that much!" Steel Melody shook her head! One could only worry about the landscape with Reylin and his beloved around!

  Reylin laughed, "You don't have to avoid those flames. They will last as long as the man is alive, and they will also heal you."

  "Hmmm!" Steel Melody hummed, "I want to face some magic! What the rest is doing?! Ohhh!"

  As if Steel Melody's pout was the trigger, the ground beneath laying Reylin and Steel Melody lit up in a blue circle. That magic seemed quite grand and ready to freeze anyone to death!

  "Well, I guess she has already used it," Reylin chuckled and fished out…… a certain scroll.
