Chapter 414: A Speechless Reunion.

Chapter 414: A Speechless Reunion.

Demonkin!

Oh no

Neill's eyes were aimed at VifiYok, completely ignoring the dragonslayers in front of her.

Her hair having purple tints on them meant she was in her [Battle Frenzy] mode, and from how she was looking, it was in the moderate stage at least. The fact I could see the glimmer of light surrounding her body like a veil meant she was also receiving the buffs from my spell songs. Taking all of that into account, it made sense how that giant mana beamher [Pulse Arcana: Maxima]completely eviscerated that lance fighter. She was being buffed up to high heavens.

Uuuurgh! However, just as I was worried she would attack VifiYok, Neill fell onto the ground, her purple highlights blinking wildly before they disappeared, returning her hair color back to her usual black. Oh shit, too long

What remained purple, though, were her hands. Now that I looked at her, her face was also starting to turn blue[Arcane Fever], without a doubt! She tried to push herself upher face was still filled with rage as she glared at VifiYok, but that quickly changed as she groaned in pain. She took out two potionsone to recover health and the other was for Winters Gift?!

Sis! I called out for her as I saw this, realizing she must be in more trouble than I thought.

This worry got even worse when I noticed a signal suddenly moving towards her, agitating my instincts to the point my body temperature rose without my consent. My rocket boosters activated as my parallel minds cast [Wind Blast], sending me flying towards her.

I saw the flicker of something red, followed by Galg appearing before me. With his back facing me, he shouted Nice to see you again! before he swung his blades, only for metal to clash as VifiYok came to Neills rescue. This gave me just enough time to change [The Will to Fight and Survive] into [Dragon Fire], before unleashing a flame breath onto the dragonslayer.

Unfortunately, my fears became real as I saw Galg fully tank my [Dreadflame Breath], not even bothering to block it with an arm or anything; instead, he just kept attacking VifiYok while to get to Neill. That armor of his really was made from my materials. Not to mention, it was obvious his blades were coated with that fire dragon killing venom Winters Gift. His preparations made him one of my worst counters!

Huh?!

My sensory skills just picked up on an attack coming from my flank, causing me to increase the power of my rocket boosters, sending me flying up to the ceiling to avoid an arrow flying at me. Three more flew, forcing me to stop my breath attack to zoom around like a fly and locate the archer responsible for this inconvenience.

As I was thinking of a way to handle that blind katzune, a hand suddenly emerged from his shadow as a wolfkin woman jumped out of it, barely missing the archers head as she slashed at him with her dagger. It was Saori! With [Dark Tendrils] emerging from the shadow as well, the archer had to run backwards to avoid them.

As she was about to shoot a black lightning bolt at him, Saori was attacked by the leonid berserker, nearly smashing her arm, only for another person to jump out of the shadows. Another wolfkin, about the height of Yorshka but with the appearance of a werewolf, grabbed the berserkers arm and protected Saori, before wrestling the leonid to the ground. The mage intervened by creating a [Terra Wall], separating the two sides.

While I did want to continue watching what was happening with my best friend, the clash below me was intensifying as VifiYok and Galg were hard locked into single combat. Their weapons did not slow down despite both duelists moving at hyper-accelerated speedsthe former with their voltaic lighting and the latter while a red aura covered their body.

Dammit, snap out of it! I chastised myself for feeling scared of this person. A single encounter where he managed to cut my arm and poison me was making me useless in this fight?! Preposterous! Ive dealt with this crap enough times now to charge through the fear, charge through this damn fear!

Act! Terra Wall!

Rock walls erupted from the ground, sending Neill up to the sky and separating the two duelists from each other. I couldnt fight him, but I could still support. Ive made a combat style where my supportive abilities were my most effective option!

I grabbed Neill and fed her the two potions while I blasted spells at Galg from up here, forcing him to dodge around before throwing one of his chain-hooked blades at me. I blasted it away with a [Draconic Roar] while using the recoil to fling myself back to the subspace portal. VifiYok took this chance to throw a [Voltaic Red: Thunderspeed Roar] at him and the rest of the dragonslayers, causing Saori and the werefolk fighting with her to retreat back into the shadow.

Saoris thunder spear finally tore through the room, covering the place with a storm of dust.

Once in the clear, I snapped my head around to Tatsuya and Kyouya pushing the injured dwarves and elves into the portal, until they brought Ungi and the Ankoran King over. The former was battered and almost dead, with his samurai armor cut apart to the point it couldnt be used any longer. The latter was still up and kicking, but half of his helmet was just cut in half.

Controlling the damn earth aint doing me much when I cant hit him! the king chastised himself before he looked down and grabbed Saintess Fleindia from up the ground. I dont know what exactly is happening here and how the kirin lass and wolfkin got here, but I suggest we get out of here first. Get a larger room to fight in. There are too many people in this hallway, and not enough space for all of us to fight.

Your majesty, you Kyouya tried to interrupt him, but the dwarven king pushed himself off him and handed him the unconscious Saintess.

Nah, nah, I can still fight. Fought longer even after Ungi shielded me. Im getting the lass out of this place one way or another, and that is not before we find out what the bladdarg is going on here. Heal me, Hestia, we need to run.

Allied Territory [Earth Rulers Reign] deactivated

He banged his chest plate as the pumpkin-sized runes on it and his axe dimed in color. He then threw away the other half of his helmet before he turned around, watching as VifiYok ran over to us with my glaive. He glared at her, but before he could speak up, Neill gasped for air.

Aaaaah! She clenched her claws around my shoulders, pushing herself up. Uttering a stammer, she growled as she pointed in the direction of the dragonslayers. We need to leave, now! Wyvernslayers! Two full parties of them came hunting! Bastards have dragon blood coated weapons, too.

More snuck into the city, after all. Once again, I failed.

Regardless of the situation, was fighting the dragonslayers here smart? Fight or flight? I was always a supporter of fleeing was winning, but at this point, I once again had this strong urge to fight and win. I wanted to shred that Galg to pieces for not only attacking Neill, but also for causing this damn fear I had. A single fight, and I felt like a damn coward!

Shit! I jerked as I saw the shine of his red aura coming from the dust veil. I snapped my body around, waiting to heal everybody, but somebody suddenly threw a white ball on the ground, causing it to explode.

Whatever was in that ball attached itself onto everybodys body, causing me to retch a bit at how slimy it was, only for it to suddenly start being absorbed into our body. For some reason, it felt soothing, almost as good as a massage with a silky-feeling cream. In the next moment, my body felt rejuvenated, as if my white flames had just healed me.

It was Asaka who appeared through the portal.

Took you long enough to open the damn portal! You know how much Haruka has been worried for you? the punk girl shouted while wearing a modified priestess robe and holding onto what looked like a graffiti can. She was still behind the portal, not entering the dungeon. We need to catch up, but I see youve got problems behind you. I can heal the injured, so if you need to get anybody away from the battlefield, send them in! I got the gist from the Ankoran Queen!

The moment I lost my [Room] runes, everything began to fall apart as my party and I were driven deeper into the dungeons, but now that I had them back, what happened? Saori and I were reunited on the battlefield and even Asaka was giving me background support by acting like a clinic.

If anything, this showed I really needed to keep those runes safer. Kyouya and Tatsuya already lost theirs on our trip.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

These thoughts ended when Neills warning came true as more people suddenly stormed out of the portal. As the dust settled, the dragonslayers and the adventurers clad in scale armor faced each other, with the latter demanding to know where the kirin dragonewt was, confirming they were the people Sis had mentioned.

Once all the injured were inside the portal, I summoned Rajah, having all of us mount him aside from VifiYok, who decided to keep the rearguard safe with her speed and higher stats. With the hallway just large enough for Rajah to move in, but not fight, we dashed away with my [Room] runes back in my storage and [Hydra] canceled.

That wolfkin is a dragonkin, too! the katzune archer shouted as Galg dashed forward with [Gale Steps], only to once again be blocked by VifiYok.

That girl Saori raised a frown as Rajah raced through the hallway with us on his back. I want to ask how the demonkin is here, but

Saori suddenly embraced me out of nowhere, before grabbing Tatsuya and Kyouya, pulling them into her hug as the three of us were squished together. She released us three flabbergasted adolescents before patting Rajah on his back.

Good boy, good boy, you managed to evolve! Haha, you do not know how overjoyed Varya was when I discovered that little bit of news through my shadow pack menu! Haha! She then turned to us. Asaka was right, you know! You do not know how worried we were but, haha, how I missed this! The Aurora special of running into the stupidest misadventurers, haha, it has been too longHey.

Saoris wild elation as if she was letting loose for the first time in a while was quickly interrupted as the bone amulet she was wearing, looking very similar to a miniature wolf skull, began to shake. At the same time, we snapped our head back as we saw not only Galg but the leonid berserker rushing at us. They were keeping up with Rajah.

However, before they could come any closer, Saori whistled, causing one of the shadows to the side to rumble, before a large tail lashed out, slamming on the ground. A vircarguca, just like Rajah, only different in size and appearance, appeared before us, intercepting the dragonslayers before she melted back into the shadow.

[Mom!] Rajah called, confirmed that it was Varya. I knew she evolved, but wow, seeing her in the flesh excited me with how much Saoris shadow pack grew.

And the surprise wasnt ending any time soon, as four fenrirs lept from the shadows and attacked the dragonslayers. All of them were members of the shadow pack.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
