Because they were already attacking we were able to kill them without problems. They were able to kill a couple of the PEP and PEA units. Everything was pretty tense as they had big health bars. Using cheap tricks were not going to work. The first two were hackers. I was immune since I did not have any mechanical implants to actually hack. I saw a blind swordsman that was dressed in yellow. He was pretty stylish for an enemy combatant. Then there was a man that was super buff. He looked content to punch us all to death. He seemed to only have one eye. Brutal scars were all over his body. Being robbed of their freedom had enraged some of the Heat Clan members that had been living fear. Now that some of them had died, they were fanatically devoted to destroying the threats. At first I thought that it would be fine to sit it out this time. However, these were mini bosses. They were having problems. The hackers could not stop them permanently, but it slowed them down. It was a very weird animation where they stopped moving, held their head and groaned. They all got over it fast.
Being stun locked was not a problem in itself. The PEP and PEA units could sort themselves out in seconds. AEPs only stopped what they were doing before going back to it. They did not even have to hold their heads. The real problem was that the melee combatants would rush in and do some serious damage while they were distracted by fixing themselves. The hackers were playing support by debuffing my team. I walked up to the hackers. They looked at me and tried hacking. When nothing happened to me, they glared harshly at me. "You're fucking pure!?" the one with heterochromia asked in panic. "Calm down bro. We got this. Just... breathe." the other one said. "I just wanted to have a party. These guys are in the Advocate faction. Heat Clan actually likes humans." I said. The older one said "Tough shit. They were making too much noise out here. This continent is for humans!" I scoffed and looked at him. "Wha-what do you want by defending them!? You're a human too, right!?" the younger demanded. "The clan cleaned up the beach. Can't you guys just fuck off and bother others?"
While they were talking, they were still hacking my comrades. I sighed and decided to get rid of them. I decided to use magic on them. My pillars of fire and shards of red light fell from the sky and targeted them. Neither of them were used to being targeted like this. They scrambled to get out of the way. Even still, they were getting cut up and burned. "What the hell are you!? How are you doing all this shit!?" the older one demanded. I shrugged and said "I dunno. How about you guys leave and keep your lives?" I was smirking. Basically being a smug asshole. They did not like that. Both of them charged at me to take some swings. At least they were no longer giving all my comrades heavy debuffs and getting in their way against the real threats. I could deal with them both of them on my own. I was not a fighter so it was not like I could beat them with punches and kicks. I could run circles around them. That kept them out of the fight even longer. My team and Heat Clan were doing much better. It seemed that the hackers' friends understood this too. The barehanded menace tackled me very hard.
