Interlude: The Girl and the Spark

Three Minutes Ago, Eltram, Commercial Area

“Whoever you are, you better show yourself or we’ll shoot!”

Hearing the voices and seeing the guns directed straight completely terrified Fey. Oh ...! Th-They found me! Wh-What do I do?!

From what she could tell, she was surrounded by four soldiers. She couldn’t see anyone else around, and the two Marshal IIs positioned in the mall were’nt visible from where she was.

Umm...uhh...in a situation like this, I gotta...umm...! On the verge of completely panicking, Fey poked her crest over and over. That made multiple semi-transparent liquid masses drop out of it until they reached a total of eight.

I’ll just put my safety first! Fey then raised her hands and stood up from the planters. “I give up! I surrender! Don’t shoot!” she said, asserting that she had no will to fight...

“Truth Discernment picked up a lie! She’s gonna resist!”

...only for that particular skill to expose her true intentions.

“AHHH! Seriously, that skill?!” she wailed. Most experienced people in Dendro always took the existence of Truth Discernment into account, so it was actually fairly rare for people to be caught by it.

And now, knowing that Fey was planning to fight, the soldiers started to squeeze their triggers...

“Steal!”

...just as Fey made use of her AGI advantage and activated her own skill before they could fire.

However, that was meaningless. The thief grouping’s Steal was a skill that stole the target’s items with a success rate based on skill level and the DEX stat—but it required the user to be close to the target. With there being 10 metels between her and the soldiers, there was no way she could touch them.

Thus, this skill was useless for her own two hands...

“Stehlen.”

...ut it wasn’t for the eight hands that reached out towards her target.

The eight puddles near the four soldiers’ feet spoke one single word—the very same semi-transparent liquids that dropped out of Fey’s crest.

However, there were now hands sticking out from each of them, and in their palms...

“Hm...? What?”

...were the four soldiers’ stolen guns.

Four hands held a gun each. Three of the remaining ones held nothing, while the last one clutched one soldier’s pants.

“Not a bad result,” said Fey to herself. “Wait, now’s not the time for congratulating myself! Sleeping Fang!”

“Schlafen Fangzahn.” Though satisfied with the results of her arms, Fey hastily used Sleeping Fang—a dagger weapon skill.

The arms then let go of the weapons they held and transformed into blades before repeatedly attacking the soldiers, who were still confused by the disappearance of their weapons.

The damage of the attacks was low, but after a few cuts, the soldiers received the [Forced Sleep] debuff and passed out. This was Sleeping Fang’s effect.

“Neutralized!” Fey proudly said, having rid the soldiers of their weapons, consciousness...and one pair of pants.

This wouldn’t have been possible without her Embryo: Type Legion, United Barrage, Schiffs Gespenst.

It was based on the Japanese yokai called “funayurei,” or “boat spirits”—hordes of wraiths created from people who had been taken by the water. They stuck out
