TESSIA ERALITH’S POV:

“Darvus, switch positions with Stannard!” I swungan arc of wind that knocked away the arnoll—a nasty —that had tried to catch uard

“Careful, Leader! If you die on us, your grandfather will rin visible underneath his dented hel of another assault e’s axe with my sword “Do you want me to count all of the times I saved your ass?”

“Don’t start a battle you can’t win, Darvus!” Cariaup with an uppercut at a fanged orc’s jaw

“Stannard, have you found the pack leader yet? These gnolls just keep co out of nowhere” Darvus twirled two hatchets before launching thenoll

“Not yet,” our blonde-haired e called out fro we should fall back The numbers are tooourselves” Darvus unclipped his two large battle axes froe orc

“I think you’re right We should at least fall back into the range of our conjurers” I thrust noll’s breastplate Its rabid, dog-like face contorted in pain as it crumpled to the floor

“Those lucky avers, sitting behind the lines and firing off spells while they gossip with each other,” Darvus grunoll’s chest with the blunt end of his axe

“Hey!” Stannard exclai my team members’ co to hold them down Go all out, okay?”

“Understood,” he acknowledged “Darvus, Caria, better get out of the way!”

Sheathing my sword, I released the first phase ofround, I concentrated

[Ivy Prison]

A wave of vines shot up fronolls that were co on the far side of the cavern

Stannard, the frail-looking e beside me, aimed a device that looked like a narrow crossbow at the horde of round As he inserted a small orb into the tip of his arrow-less crossbow, his pale blue eyes narrowed in concentration

<hr><hr>

The eht ti As soon as both Darvus and Caria had cleared out of the way, Stannard unleashed his attack

[Propulsion Blast]

Like a cannon gone mad, a fiery blast exploded fro the se off his feet

We all stared blankly at the scene in front of us; orcs and gnolls burned as the wave behind thenited by their own comrades’ bodies

“Another new spell youat the fiery blaze just a dozenhis device across his shoulder “The rebound is a bit painful though”

“That’s why I’ you that you should train your body er at hi you that there’s no way in hell that I’d train with you, you coery!” Stannard retorted “I still have nightmares about that day!”

“Guys, let’s save the banter for e’re back with the rest of the other tea,” I cut in With that, we headed back through the narrow corridor we had co us

Aftercavern, I saw the flickering purple light that indicated the main base—the place that I’d called home for the past few months

“I wonder what food they’ll have ready?” Darvushis lips

“Probably the same old mush they call ‘food’ I swear, the cooks purposelyas possible so no one ant seconds,” Stannard sighed as we drew closer to the purple light

“Any chance that our leader, that we love and appreciate so much and also happens to be a princess, can hook her precious tea look in his eyes

“Gross!” Caria cringed besideyour face while you do so”

“Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful, shorty!” Darvus stuck his chin out so we could truly behold his rugged but sharp face The human would be considered objectively handso attitude

“I’ht, Tessia?” she snapped back at hi my arm

“Oh please Stannard here is what you call petite He can pass off as a ten-year-old, after all You, on the other hand, are just short and barbaric” Darvus stuck out his tongue

<hr>

“Is there really a need for you to include me in your squabble!” Stannard exclaimed, offended He was always sensitive whenever someone called him short or small

“Guys! Who cares if we’re pretty, cute or handsorime Is there really a need to look attractive down here?” I sighed as we reached the iron wall protecting the camp

“Tch As expected of someone who’s been blessed with true beauty Our leader would never understand the hardshi+ps that norh to find a man,” Caria pouted

“Stop it What true beauty?” I scoffed, shaking reed “If it weren’t for the fact that you’re Cohter, and the fact that you could easily beat me up, I’d have already made a move on you”
