Dana smiled as she watched her golems parry the attacks of the Sand Howlers.
The creatures hadn't landed a single strike on the Golems yet, and the Greater Golems had moved to protect the side opposite Tessa and Thor. But Dana realized there might be a better way to do this.
If she shifted the Golems, who had gained her increased attack speed and auto-parry, she could put the Greater Golems between them, and then both the damage and defensive capabilities would be balanced across the whole section of the battle they were responsible for.
The Sand Howlers weren't particularly fast, and they were large. So, only three of them could engage each Golem at a time.
That was enough that the stone summons were mostly on the defensive. But they were still managing to land a few attacks of their own without relying on Dana. Her newest attack skills were all flower themed for some reason, with names like [Piercing Rose Thorns] and [Plum Blossom Slash]. But they were every bit as powerful as spells with more dignified sorts of names.
If she didn't know better, she would think that the System was messing with her, and giving her skills with names that she would be embarrassed to say out loud.
Nevertheless, they smoothly cut through the thick fur of the Sand Howlers, and every strike left lingering damage from her new poison skill [Toxic Beauty].
She really had been scammed by this Mystic Blademaster class.
The part that annoyed her the most was that it really was as good as she had hoped, and she had even gained the ability to control her [Blade Swarm] skill to the point that she could engage a dozen opponents at a time just with the magical blades.
As she fought, she could feel her mind beginning to expand. Each blade, each summon, was a separate train of thought. And the more that she used them, the more natural it became.
Dana briefly considered that this level of Class might actually be on par with what Karl had if her physique was the same. But as he had Cara on his side, his Antimagic capabilities made him a hard counter to all sorts of mage classes, no matter how powerful.
If he couldn't just nullify her attacks, Dana was certain that she should be a match for nearly any other Overlord.
She activated [Plum Blossom Slash] and sent a wave of razor sharp petals into the Sand Howlers, tearing into them and driving back an attempt to get behind her formation.
"Karl has nearly dealt with the Totems already." Tessa informed the others from her raised vantage point on Thor's back.
Dana laughed, of course he had.
Between Karl and Rae, there was little doubt that they would be able to tear through a ten on two battle as if the enemies were made of paper.
As the number of Sand Howlers dropped, Tessa and Thor moved to herd them into a smaller group, where area skills would do more damage. They had multiple area damage effects, and if they could keep the Sand Howlers close enough, they would all be taking continuous holy damage.
