Against three outsiders

The situation of Nico's group was deplorable.

"Ah..." groaned Nico, trying to sit down right after the woman left, but his body was having a hard time obeying him. Unlike him, his three male companions who had suffered the mental attack couldn't even move.

The condition of the two girls was extremely serious. Despite Nico's best efforts, there was nothing he could do to help. He had neither the experience nor the resources to alleviate their suffering.

They were all hosts of an Ordinary System, and none of them had the unique abilities peculiar to Rare Systems that could ease the girls' pain.

Nico and his companions noticed that the Silver-ranked girl was suffering the most. Her wounds began to become covered with strange black spots that spread like an infection throughout her body. Unable to bear the pain, she lost consciousness.
