It Was Practically Unheard Of For Diluc To Be Ambushed Or Outnumbered, In Fact, There Was Never Such

it was practically unheard of for diluc to be ambushed or outnumbered, in fact, there was never such thing as 'outnumbered'. he always managed to pull through, yet for once, he faltered. he had never faced a herald before, and he was surprised it had come this far out close to the city.

faced with such an opponent, diluc was at a loss.

he pants heavily as he regains his footing, glaring at the monster when help arrives unexpectedly. he watches the creature retreat, and he sighs heavily.

the flames die out from his claymore and it dematerializes.

"it seems my luck ran out for once." he pauses, "thank you."

@noctuafought, starter.

with a swift movement of his blade, calcharo slices through the various abyssal enemies in front of him.

he then turns his attention to another, one that's been watching the fight from the beginning. though they were able to go unseen up until this point, the mercenary had sensed their presence. perhaps it is because they share something in common. thinking about it for too long only angers him.

" what ? not interested in joinin' your buddies ? " naturally, his question goes unanswered and instead, he watches as the enemy disappears through a portal of sorts.

when he is certain that the danger has passed, he puts away his sword, promptly turning his attention to diluc. " fancy seein' you again. you make it habit of being swarmed by enemies, or you jus' got incredibly bad luck ? "
