“We were friends too. We never meant to hurt you.”

Pineapple Beer stared straight at her.

“But you’re hurting me right now, aren’t you?”

The woman in the teal–black robe went pale.

The silver–gray armored woman struck from the side, shooting thin formation threads to bind Pineapple Beer’s wrist.

“Quit wasting words with her!”

Pineapple Beer didn’t even look back. She twisted her dagger backward and sliced, cutting the controlling threads cleanly.

The teal–robed woman took the chance to scramble backward.

Pineapple Beer didn’t chase her.

She stood rooted in place, her gaze sweeping over her three former allies, then shifting to Riley and TartKing.

She looked like she was struggling to make sense of something.

Riley stepped slowly up the stone steps.

“Pine, I don’t know what’s going on right now. It doesn’t matter if you remember us or not.”

Pineapple Beer’s eyes locked on her.

“Let’s fight together first,” Riley went on. “Let’s just survive this.”

TartKing nodded firmly from right behind Riley.

“Yeah, survival first! After all this is over, if you still don’t remember us, we’ll tell you everything again. We’ll keep bugging you until you get tired of hearing it. We’re not leaving your side!”

Pineapple Beer’s lips twitched faintly.

It was like a tiny fragment of memory had slipped through the cracks in her mind.

The next second, the leader of the reddish–brown heavy armor squad made his move.

He’d been waiting for exactly this opening.

He swung his giant warhammer straight for the base of the throne. The hammer head blazed with dull earthen light. The stone steps cracked under the impact, with fissures snaking straight toward PineappleBeer’s feet.

At the same time, the four black–cloaked assassins charged toward the crystal from all different directions. The mages in the back of the dark–blue cloaked squad began their chants, and countless long–range attacks from the ragtag group crashed forward all at once.

None of these people were willing to let PineappleBeer and Riley talk any longer.

The battlefield exploded into chaos once more.

Riley stepped in front of PineappleBeer, swinging her Storm Splitter Dual Axes to shatter two incoming arrow beams.

TartKing kept their HP topped up with heals while slamming her greatsword to swat away a black–cloaked assassin trying to rush up the steps from the side.

The assassin let out a cold smirk. “Hurry up, everyone! She’s clearly out of it right now! First come, first served for the artifact!”

Furious, TartKing swung her sword straight at him.

The assassin flipped backward to dodge, his short blade grazing her arm.

Her small barrier softened the hit, but it still split a shallow bleeding gash in her skin.

TartKing hissed in pain, hurling a fireball right at his face to force him back before instantly casting a self–heal.

Riley charged forward, blocking the assassin’s only escape route with her axe blades.

The assassin was fast, rolling flat across the ground to narrowly avoid a fatal strike.

Riley didn’t give chase.

PineappleBeer was surrounded again, four new enemies closing in.

This time the group included the reddish–brown squad leader and the scarred dark–blue captain,

Both of them boasted terrifying combat stats.

The squad leader’s hammer strikes were heavy and crushing. The scarred captain wielded a short battle halberd, perfectly countering Pineapple Beer’s movement and pinning her landing spots. Paired with the silver–gray armored woman’s shadow–sealing formation and the black sword man’s relentless close–quarters pursuit, these four strangers fought in perfect sync, zeroing in on one target.

Faced with four seasoned fighters, Pineapple Beer still didn’t retreat an inch.

Her fighting style grew erratic.

all

When the halberd locked her movement, she used Shadow Shift to slip to the enemy’s rear flank.

When the formation plate trapped her shadows, she unleashed a crystal pulse to freeze the incoming hammer mid–swing.

When the black sword closed in, she clashed head–on, channeling an uncharacteristic brute force through her dagger to knock the blade away.

Riley watched every move clearly.

Pineapple Beer was no longer fighting on the same level as before.

Her speed, reflexes, and control over spatial energy had all jumped drastically. It wasn’t just better gear or higher levels. It was like combat experience, stats, and skills from countless timelines had briefly merged into this single body.

That didn’t mean she was safe, though.

She was strong, yet unstable.

Several times, she could’ve landed a killing blow, yet froze halfway through, tugged by some fragmented memory.

Other times, she chose to tank hits head–on when she should’ve dodged.

Riley and TartKing charged into the center of the fray not to win the fight for her.

They were there to block every deadly strike whenever her mind slipped out of focus.

“Left side!” Riley shouted.

TartKing spun around instantly, casting Silent Bell Blessing on Pineapple Beer.
