An Extra’s POV

The first wave of attack came like lightning.

Azul, the warrior mercenary that Evals Redart often employed at his side, was incredibly strong.

However, his true ability lay in his speed.

And so…

~WHOOSH!~

… He had closed the distance between himself and his target before the latter could even notice.

He pulled out a sword from its scabbard, and the thing glowed blue, revealing the Mana that was locked within.

Azul's sword was enchanted—and that pretty much applied to the rest of his armor.

He had enhanced strength, durability, focus, resistance, and most important of all… speed!

~ZZTZZ!~

His blade cackled with electricity as his entire armor began sparking with the entire thing.

Using his [Lightning Field] Skill early on, in order to stun the enemy, was not necessary, since he was simply meant to distract and lure the enemy in while his partner—Fey—did the rest.

However, Azul found such a complicated maneuver to be a chore.

Especially considering their enemy.

"Haaa!" His blade descended in a perfect vertical slash, sending ripples of shock—literal shock—flying all around.

It took a few seconds for the dust to die down, and for Azul to realize what just went down.

'W-what?!'

He didn't hit his target?!

"[Transmute]." He suddenly heard behind him.

~VWUUUUSHH!~

A wave of energy went through his armor, causing the entire thing to break apart that very instant.

"A-ahhh!"

Azul found himself naked, save for his underwear. His only layer of clothing had been broken down, leaving him powerless and defenseless.

'H-how fast… is he…?!'

Azul didn't have time to dwell on such thoughts, though. He could feel the enemy's hand drawing closer to his bare back.

His bulging eyes turned bloodshot in shock… and fear.
