Shortly after I passed the message, my binocular lens flashed from a spark of fire. As the flame scatters, I see Nelo again, this time rushing in front of Squad D. Shot bursts of standard rifle caliber are longer fired from his rifle, but burst shots of exploding shells that are seemingly breaking the rifle itself. Shot upon shot, blast upon blast, the Grotesques are blown apart, then ignited into clusters of fire.

Nelo's sudden aggression drew the Grotesque's attention, which in turn left Squad D an opening. Captain Jack is surprised by the turn of events, but fitting of his position, he quickly regained his composure and urged Squad D's retreat. I looked at Nelo again. He stopped using his rifle. I can't make clear of his gun's condition, but it appears to be out of ammo or more likely- broken by whatever he just did. Still holding the rifle on his right hand, he drew his sword with his left and started slashing through the oncoming Grotesques. One by one, the Grotesques' are torn through without mercy. Whenever more Grotesque started ganging up on him, he would use any of the burnt Grotesque corpses as cover to circle around them, breaking their formation then picking them off one-by-one. Blood splattered through the field, as small sparks would occasionally accompany Nelo, then followed with the imagery of a Grotesque being light on fire. Captain Jack, who was overseeing the entire thing looked in awe. "Some security you have there, Lady Shaman." "Thanks. But there's still too many Grotesques around, and I think he's out of bullets." "I wouldn't worry about him, looking at his movement, he seems to be experienced in one-against-many tactics." "Huh, how so?" "I wouldn't put words in his mouth, but from what I've seen so far, he has this mentality where even if he's against the entire army, it's just engaging one target, repeated over and over again."

Shortly after our conversation, all that remains in Squad D's route is Nelo alone, surrounding by corpses of Grotesques -some cut down, and some on fire.



In one fell swoop, Nelo has killed a pack of Grotesques.

Nelo is facing away from us, his sights set on the remaining Grotesques. Oddly enough, the remaining Grotesques stopped moving towards Nelo. Grotesques, who are known for its tenacity, stopped moving forward? Looking at the entire thing left me a weird impression. It felt like a legion of monsters subservient to their rightful king.

I tried to shake off the feeling, and inspected the condition of the cloud of red re-converging. It's closing in faster than I expected. The Captain noticed my act too, and contacted the retreating Squad D to notify Nelo. Nelo seems to get the message, as he turns back - the retreating Squad D immediately tensed up again. Crap. I forgot about his red eyes!
