Arthur looked at his party as they engaged in the combat that lay before them. He noted the exceptional performance of their tank who had managed to draw the entire group of Oni. He had little experience with the creatures due to his recent server transfer, and as a result had never experienced this event chain before, so the ability of the monsters wasn't known to him, but he figured he'd just do what he'd always done in combat scenarios and rely on his instinct. As he watched Silver sneak in to deal blows to the Oni, he decided he'd take it at a slower pace than his assassin comrade. 

Taking a slight jog to the Oni, he began engaging in combat, only using Reap and attacking normally in order to gauge the amount of damage he could do to the creatures. Seeing that they were at a high level, he didn't want to be reckless, but he figured that this would be a good learning experience for the events that were to come, and by practising his combat against them, he'd have a much better time dealing with the Oni army. 

Deciding that the damage that he was doing was enough, he decided to try and make things easier on the tank. Prior to doing this, he activated trinket walk and finally decided to use assassinate on one of the oni, hoping to eliminate it in one strike. Noting that the hate gain was minimal from this due to the good work of his tank, he decided that he'd kill another and used Extermination on the Oni that he had been hitting prior. Deciding that more attacks might push him over the edge, he decided to take a step back and let his hate cool down before continuing.
