>>5449006With a roar, Rodolfo launches himself from where he was standing towards you, his blade shining in the darkness. You instinctively take a large step behind Sebastian, who comes to your aid and stands between you and the crazed mercenary. Figuring you can at least be of some use, even as you hide behind the back of your subordinate, you channel your magic into Sebastian, granting him the benefits of your “Rally Spectrum” spell. Rodolfo beelines towards the General, who raises his shield in anticipation of the blow. Just at the last second before they connect, the mercenary swiftly jumps in the air and attacks Sebastian with a downward strike from his blade.
>Sebastian +5 all stats (Rally Spectrum+)>Sebastian - Great Shield: 98, 68 (Both Miss)>STR: 28 + 15 + 8(Brave Sword) = 51 – 47 DEF = 4x2 = 8 Damage (Sebastian: 57/65 HP)>Crit Roll: 47, 78 (Miss)You’ve seen Sebastian stop hulking, enraged Demonic Beasts in their tracks as if they were nothing more than puppies. So, seeing the most durable man in your company take a step back from the blow he received from Rodolfo is a bit alarming to say the least. His Brave Blade comes down directly on Sebastian’s collar, eliciting an extremely loud clang sound as the metals clash. He strikes again at Sebastian with a thrust of his blade before he can even attempt to block it. The attack is vicious, and the loud clang rings in your ears once more. If Sebastian is hurt though, he doesn’t show it as he still stands tall against his opponent. You were fortunate you had him here with you. While the General makes taking Rodolfo’s blows look easy, you implicitly understand that you could not have survived a round of combat against that Brave Sword in Rodolfo’s current state. Yet another time this man has taken grave blows for you.
Sebastian follows up with a downward swing of his axe, but Rodolfo easily avoids that with blinding speed. Berserk spells, while incredibly dangerous, are rarely deployed on the battlefield. They cause the target to go mad with rage, attacking whoever is near him without distinguishing between friend or foe. Usually, the spell was employed on the foe’s backline, where the berserked target would be more likely to attack their own allies. Still, you’d never heard of a Berserk spell that actually made the target a stronger and faster fighter. Whatever magic was at work here was beyond your comprehension.
