|3rd POV|

When Angelo gets outside the church, he sees one of the hunters get bitten by a Beowolf. He takes out his sword, charges toward the Grimm, and cleaves the beowolf into two without thinking twice.

"Cough… Haaaa… Dammit… It looks like I can't make it. I'm sorry, Midoru… I can't take you to the beach this week…."

"You still can."

Angelo interrupts the dying man's speech and fires his stasis rifle at the man in front of him. The stasis rifle makes the blood stop flowing out from the man's body and lets Angelo have more time to prepare.

Angelo takes a vial of potion and places it next to the dying man. He then carved a sign in the air. Vlue, Gruk, and Lunr. It was a chain of signs that he could use to heal injuries. If translated into English, it roughly translates into Life, Bind, and Restore.

It will absorb the natural energy in the world and convert it into a healing agent that restores the patient's body.

When the stasis bubble pops away, Angelo quickly starts to work. He activates his sign and then feeds the man the potion. In a matter of a second, the man's wound starts to close. Seeing his work is done, Angelo picks the man from the ground and gives him to the people inside the church.

After giving the man away, Angelo quickly gets out of the church and walks to Jasper, who looks at the distance in worry.

"Jasper, what is the situation?"

"Bad. I can see a group of more than a hundred Grimm almost arrive from the north."

"How? I did not see them."

"My semblance. My semblance is called Eagle View. I create an invisible 'eagle' in the sky and look through that eagle, and right now, I can see at least a hundred Grimm marching toward here a few hundred meters to the north."

"I see. That means we did not have much time."

Angelo takes out a few dozen turrets from his bag of holding and says.

"Jasper, who is the fastest man in this group? I need them to place these turrets around the city."

"Turret? Ah! Now I remember who you are. You are that white-haired Faunus who fights against a hundred Grimm at once using your sword and turret."

"Aye. We can talk about it later. For now, I need someone to place these turrets around the city."

"Good idea. Shirou, Kuro, and Akai! I need you to place these turrets around the northern area."

Three young men get down from the church roof and nod.

"Press this button to activate the turrets. Make sure to place them in a place a little bit bigger than the box. It did not need a flat surface, and as long as it was not a vertical surface, this turret will do the rest."

"Understood."

"Good. Take two turrets for each of you. If you think you can still palace the turret before the Grimm arrives, get back here and take more. I still have a few more turrets inside my bag."

The three young men nod and take six turrets with them and jump toward the roof.

"Jasper, where can we place the rest of the turret?"

"There"

Jasper pointed his finger toward the tallest building near the church.

"That is a perfect place to place a turret. Not only does it have the high ground, but it is also between two street sections."

"Perfect. I will place two turrets there."

"No need."

Jasper looks at a middle-aged woman next to him and nods at her. A second later, she takes two turrets from the ground and runs toward the massive building.

"There are only four turrets left. Can we place it on our wings? It can support us from the side while also making sure there is no friendly fire."

"Of course. You are the leader of this group. Just tell me where I should place them."

"Thank you. We will not forget this help."

"You can thank me when we win this fight."

"Heh"

Jasper shakes his head as he sees Angelo walk toward the sandbag barricade the people make in a hurry before placing down a turret behind it. He is really glad that Angelo arrived in their village. He doesn't know if he and his fellow hunter can defeat all those Grimm that are coming here.

The Grimm that comes here is a massive Grimm, unlike the first wave where it only consists of Beowolf, Creep, and Boabatusk. This time, the Grimm wave consists of Ursa Major, Alpha Beowolf, and King Taiju with the other smaller Grimm near them.

After a few minutes, Angelo and the others hear a roar coming from the northern side of the village. Following after the roar is the sound of an explosion and sentry gun firing their bullet.

"Get ready! Here they come!"

The first one to arrive is a group of Beowulf. When the turret saw the Grimm, they began to fire their bullet toward the Grimm.

"Wait! Don't waste your bullets! Let the turret weaken them first. Fire the one that gets too close to us. Sniper! Take the flying Grimm! There is a group of Lancer above us!"

Jasper gives his order while looking at the incoming Grimm. He frowns when he sees a cloud of dust appear not too far away from them.

"Boarbatusk is incoming! Frontline, brace for impact!"

A minute later, a group of ten people charge toward the incoming Boarbatusk and stop the Grimms' charges. However, some of the Boarbatusks jump away from the hunter, who stops their charge and continues to run toward the hunter in the back.

Angelo put down his gun and took out his sword from his back. He quickly dodged to the left and leaped toward the Boarbatusk that just missed him before stabbing it with his sword. After killing the Boarbatusk, Angelo takes out his stasis gun and fires to his left, where one of the hunters gets surrounded by five Beowolf.

"Take them out while they freeze up!"

Hearing his command, the hunter who stood there looked at the Grimm, frozen in place in awe, snapped from his thought and quickly stabbed the Grimm one by one. When the stasis bubble pops, the Grimm turns to dust from all the injuries they get.

"Alpha incoming!"

Angelo looks at the main street, and he can see a big Grimm marching toward them. Seeing the incoming Grimm, he takes out another stasis rifle from his bag and starts charging.

"Jasper! Give me five seconds! I can freeze for twenty-second."

"Roger!"

Jasper looks at a young woman next to him who nods her head. The young woman jumps high in the air, takes a deep breath before releasing a roar. This is her semblance called Lion Roar. It will freeze any Grimm within range for five seconds in exchange for half of her aura.

It was a risky move, but it was worth the risk.

Five seconds later, Angelo jumps forward and fires two balls of light toward the group of Grimm. When the ball is near the Grimm, it explodes, and a massive dome of light appears, freezing all the Grimm inside it.

"Focus your attack on the Grimm inside the bubble!"

The other hunter obeys Angelo's command and focuses on firing at the Grimm inside the stasis bubble. On the other hand, Angelo picked up his PDA and told all the turrets near him to fire a Grimm near them instead of the Grimm far away from them.

Before he could help the others dealing with the frozen Grimm, Angelo could see another group of Grimm coming at them from the left.

"Jasper! Take this!"

"What! Woah!"

"Press the trigger so it can charge the stasis ball. The indicator is under sight, and it takes five seconds to charge fully. Use it to freeze the Grimm."

Without waiting for confirmation, Angelo already ran to the left-wing and took his last pair of level three turrets from his bag. He tosses the turrets on the ground, and the engineering box changes shape into turrets that immediately fire at the incoming Grimm.

Angelo charges his stasis rifle and fires it toward the trio Ursa Major. After freezing the Grimm, he takes a dozen mini sentries from his bag. While they did not deal as much damage as the level three turret, it was enough to deal with the smaller Grimm.

He continued to fire his gun on one hand and charged his stasis rifle on the other. However, it was not enough to kill all the Grimm. Angelo takes out his sword with his dust rifle running out of ammo and his stasis rifle running out of battery.

With his right hand holding a sword, his left hand creates a sign. The first sign he uses is Igni to summon a torrent of fire that burns the incoming enemy. He then uses Yrden to make a trap underneath him and activate it.

A dome made of purple energy expands three meters around him and freezes the Grimm for two seconds. It was short, but it was good enough for Angelo to decapitate the Grimm jump toward him.

Angelo fights alone with his turret for two minutes before the reinforcements come to help him. The fight lasts for another thirty minutes before no more Grimm comes to the church. Almost all the turrets Angelo makes get destroyed by the Grimm, and two stasis rifle batteries get depleted.

Seeing there is no more Grimm, Jasper takes a deep breath before shouting a victory cry followed by the others, including Angelo.
