Next up, Erin decided to check out Hydro Bow's active skill as she pulled back the string as back as she could. It was surprisingly very hard to pull back but with enough strength, she could do so and activated the active skill and channeled her water aura.

"Aqua Surge!"

The arrow began to glow blue as Erin shot it close to the center of the horde. Her accuracy wasn't needed with such a huge target as it would hit something no matter where it landed.

As the arrow was released from the bow, it let out a stream of water behind it as it traveled at very high speeds. I landed a bit off from where Erin had aimed but as soon as it struck the unlucky beast, the glow began to intensify as the arrow got converted into water and spread outward, creating a bubble of water 4 feet in diameter.

The appearance of the bubble was instant and forceful as it launched the beasts just out of its range back with a decent amount of force while those within the range were swept and trapped into the bubble.

The bubble only lasted for a few seconds, but after it dispersed, the beasts trapped inside were covered in glowing blue water. The beasts glowing with the blue water suddenly started to move quite slowly and it was all thanks to the drenched status effect that was compromising their agility.

The active skill from the bow had a five-minute cooldown and Erin didn't want to waste any arrows with her poor fighting skills so while the bow was recharging, Erin activated her ice aura and started casting several skills that weren't perfected yet and were just branched off from her elemental control.

Leon decided to match his friend's pace as once again he activated his leg armor's active skill and turned into a blue streak, as he rushed into the horde of beasts launching all sorts of elemental attacks at them.

Even though the beasts were weak, the battle was still intense as they made up for their weakness with their numbers. the beasts had aligned together and were fighting against a common enemy which greatly increased their strength.

However, even though they were strong, the trio was strong as they utilized long-range and area-of-effect skills to deal damage on a large scale at once.

Leon's last resort technique was highly efficient as he could use so many beasts' bodies as colliders to change his direction and attack more beasts. Erin resorted to her ice abilities as always and Bill used a combination of all three abilities as he was putting up the greatest performance.

Bill got to try out the azure shield which worked a treat as it blocked all incoming attacks and gave him some breathing room to take a breath and cast another strong skill. Erin would occasionally use the Hydro bow again to cast out another aqua surge and slow down beasts.

Leon on the other hand also was using different abilities. He stopped his last resort skill halfway through so that he would have a decent amount of energy left over. He started using a combination of hardening to cause physical damage and fire to cause elemental damage.

After about 20 minutes of intense fighting, the clear area around the shelter was riddled with craters, cracks, earth spikes, ice pillars, and lots of dead beast bodies.

Leon asked to borrow Erin's knife as he got to work using the remainder of his energy to harvest every single crystal.

[Present time]

It was a pretty intense night and all three of them had really tired themselves out by this unnecessary battle, but it didn't really matter since they were going to get extracted tomorrow anyways.

They recovered a bit and went to sleep, excited for what tomorrow would bring.

***************

The next day rolled around and Mako was awoken by a soft knock on his door. The sound was very soft and barely noticeable, but Mako still had his survival instincts activated after living on the island for almost two weeks which quickly woke him up by the soft sound.

It took a moment for Mako to remember that he wasn't on the island anymore and before the person could knock again, Mako replied, "Come in."

The door slid to the side and opened revealing a gorgeous girl that was wearing a nurse's outfit. She had vibrant red hair that cascaded down to her shoulders, framing her delicate face. Her hair had a natural, fiery glow that looked absolutely stunning as the rays of sunlight from the window hit it. It was a shade of red that seems to change with the light, ranging from deep auburn to vibrant crimson.

Her face possessed a delicate beauty that is both striking and innocent. Soft, porcelain skin is flawlessly complemented by her beautiful deep golden eyes and slightly blushed cheeks, adding an adorable touch to her appearance. Her lips were full and naturally rosy, curved into a warm and welcoming smile.

"Hi! The doctor told me to bring you, your breakfast and clothes'" The nurse said shyly as she came into the room holding a tray with several items.

Mako hadn't seen this nurse before, but he couldn't help but be captivated by her presence. Her vibrant red hair and golden eyes were a unique combination that immediately drew his attention. The way her hair glowed in the sunlight gave her an ethereal aura, enhancing her natural beauty.

As she approached Mako with the tray, Mako couldn't help but notice the grace in her movements. Her steps were light and fluid, displaying a natural elegance that complemented her overall appearance. Despite wearing a nurse's outfit, she managed to exude a sense of style and confidence, adding a touch of individuality to her professional attire.

Mako was quite curious about the individual in front of her so he decided to use analyze on her to get to know more about her.I think you should take a look at

[Analyze]

[Profile: Lorelei Morgan]

[Ability: Fire (Level 4), Solar Influence (Level 2)] ⓘ

Her abilities didn't really match her attire as a nurse at all which made Mako a bit curious. She also possessed a brand new ability that Mako had never come across and decided to learn more about it.

However, before he could start reading the prompt, Lorelei placed the tray in front of him with a gentle smile.

"Thank you," Mako replied with a smile, his voice filled with gratitude. "I appreciate your help."

The nurse blushed slightly at his words, her golden eyes twinkling with a mix of shyness and happiness. "You're welcome," she said softly, her voice gentle and soothing. "If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to assist you."

Her shy demeanor only added to her charm, making her seem approachable and down-to-earth. Mako felt a sense of comfort as she entered the room, a feeling that she was not just a stranger but someone who genuinely cared about his well-being.

After placing the tray in front of him, she asked if there was anything else she could help with to which Mako replied "No". Lorelei nodded and started to leave Mako's room, but before she did so, she swung her head back into the room and said," Oh, I almost forget! You are expected to be ready for pick up in 45 minutes, don't be late."

And with that, she was gone from the room.

Mako was really curious about such a young and beautiful girl working as a nurse, but he decided to just ask her about it the next time he saw her.

Mako began stuffing his face with the massive breakfast that consisted of eggs, sausage, french toast, a handful of delicious berries, and a big cup of coffee.

While Mako enjoyed his first tasty and seasoned meal in almost two weeks, he read out the description of that new ability he encountered.

[Ability: Solar Influence (Level 2)] ⓘ

[A comprehensive ability that allows the user to absorb sunlight and store it within their body as aura, the longer they absorb sunlight the stronger they are. Once the sunlight is stored in the form of aura inside the body, it can be utilized in many ways to cast many different skills, making it quite a versatile ability]

The ability was the exact mirror copy of Lunar Influence, with the only thing different being instead of receiving powers from moonlight, they instead receive their powers from sunlight.

"Quite interesting... I'll definitely look into this ability more, seems to be very useful," Mako said to himself as he finished his breakfast and proceed to put on his clothes which were the same military uniform.

****************

While Mako was busy getting ready, Erin, Bill, and Leon were also busy packing up everything as the extraction vehicle was set to arrive in a couple of minutes.

They packed all of the loot they had found along the way including the AI-controlled drone into their respective backpacks and waited for the vehicle to arrive.

Minutes later, the trio heard the sound of something massive heading their way, and they quickly rushed out of the shelter to find a giant hovercraft hovering up in the air.

Three ropes were dropped from one of the open panels, and this was their ticket out of this island. Leon and Erin wasted no time grabbing onto the rope; however, Bill stopped by the shelter for a moment as he used his earth ability to carve something into the wall of the shelter.

"A home transformed by fifteen days of resilience and hope."

After he was done, he also quickly grabbed onto the rope and was quickly pulled up into the hovercraft which started moving away from the island and toward the military headquarters where their results would soon be announced.
