506 Calamity Upon The Capital [Pt 11]

'... You came!'

As Adonis had this thought, he saw two people suddenly appear right beside him, almost as if they had just teleported there that very instant.

"Jeez, man... you okay?" One of them said, his face depicting a wide, optimistic smile.

As for the latter, he was short and more serious in his demeanor, he parted his lips as he adjusted his glasses.

"Be serious, Justin." As he said this, his gaze was focused on the sight above him while Justin laughed a little.

"This is pretty serious."

The air cleared up almost instantly, causing all of the smoke to depart in almost an instant. What it revealed was the Dragon General and her slightly annoyed gaze.

"Not even a scratch, huh? Even though I timed it perfectly..."

"E-Eric... Justin... you two..." Adonis mumbled as he looked at the two of them in surprise. His two classmates, who chose to remain behind, were now standing right beside him.

How? And most importantly... why?

"Now isn't the time to ask questions, Adonis." Eric's troubled tone woke Adonis from his stunned state, and his shocked face slowly began to return to normal.

"The enemy wasn't even affected by my attack. I didn't see her use any defensive Skills either. Which means she either has incredible Stats or a Passive Skill that prevents such damage from affecting her." Eric flexed his glasses once again as he tightly held his wand on his other hand.

Unlike everyone else, whose Enchanted Items had run out of power, Eric still had his wand to assist his own abilities. This was because he usually carried around spares, so even with what happened in the Grand Calamity Dungeon, he didn't run out.

This one he wielded was the last, though.

"Yeah. She's faster than me, even with [Limit Transension]." Adonis muttered as he got his head in the game.

"Hm? What's that?" Justin asked, drawing his face closer to Adonis.

"It's nothing. Nevermind. The point is... she's very strong. I appreciate you two coming, but..."

Adonis stopped himself from saying anything more. Perhaps he didn't want to sound ungrateful, or didn't want to feed them the despair that he was experiencing.

Either way, his negative view on their current position was clear for everyone to see.

The Otherworlders were on the losing end.

As they watched the childlike Dragon Commander rendezvous with the Dragon General, the trio realized they had to do something—and fast!

"And as for you guys at the back... are you in or not?" Eric cast one more glance behind him before returning his gaze to the enemies.

Before he could count up to five seconds, he heard the howl of wind blow right beside him.

~FWUUSH!~

Billy and Trisha appeared to his left, while Adonis and Justin stood on his right. All five of them, in a straight row, as they all looked at the enemy.

"I'm in...!" Trisha's shaky voice was contrasted with the resolute expression on her face.

"Let's finish this quickly." Billy added, and while his gaze was distracted, the way he wielded the weapon that he summoned showed conviction.

The other three also displayed an equal amount of purpose as they stood to face their enemies.

The only classmates of theirs who were out of commission were Clark—due to his severe injuries—and Alicia.

There was no time to consider them at this point.

Right now, they could only rely on one another. That was all they had the luxury to think about.

"Do you have a plan?" Eric asked, not even turning to look at the person he addressed.

Still, with his auxiliary vision, he could see Adonis shake his head.

"Not really..."

Eric nodded his head as he heard this. "I understand."

Rather than despair, however, his brows furrowed even more, and something strong glistened within his eyes.

"Leave it to me, then!"
