Book 5: Chapter 80

Wheres Tina? someone shouted. Can someone go get her? Her ice magic is the best counter to a leviathans poison transformation!

Delphina frowned when she heard that. With such a huge commotion going on, it was hard to believe her party leader hadnt heard it. If she wasnt here by now, it meant she was otherwise preoccupied, or she simply didnt want to be involved. The demon looked around. Chad wasnt anywhere to be found either. Had more dangers other than the dragon emerged?

Tinas not the only one capable of freezing things, another person said.

Whos that? Keith asked Delphina, causing the demon to raise her eyebrows.

Why would I know? Delphina asked in return. It was a human that spoke. Shouldnt you tell me?

Keith shrugged. Im not a people person, he said and stood up. He made circular motions with his arms before stretching out all his limbs. Alright, Im ready to kick some dragon ass. He glanced at his party members. So far, only he, Danielle, and Joseph had recovered enough to return to combat.

Arent we companions whove gone through life or death with each other? Keith asked and scowled. Shouldnt you be hyping me up in front of all these people instead of putting me down?

Hey, hey! Devon shouted. Your target is me! A ring on his finger glowed, and he pointed at the human mage. Their figures blurred, and before the ocean-blue dragon arrived, the two had completely swapped places. Devon raised his shield, blocking the dragons slash. He grunted as he was forced back, his legs leaving two lines in the ground. Is that all you got? Im Devon the invincible! He laughed. Its going to take a lot more than that to hurt me!

The ocean-blue dragon furrowed its brow. Ranged attacks landed on its body, but it ignored them. It stood there for a second as if processing how to deal with the shield-wielding demon that couldnt be hurt by laser nor claw. Then, the dragon reached forward and grabbed Devon. It stood on its hindlegs, and with a grunt, it swung its front claw and launched the demon as if he were a ball. Devon screamed, but the sound he made faded away as his body turned into a dot on the horizon, his figure getting smaller and smaller with every passing moment. The dragon snorted, and another wave of white light washed over its body, healing all the injuries it had sustained during that brief interaction.

The human mages face paled as the ocean-blue dragon swiveled its head to stare at him. This cant be real, the man said. He frantically looked around. Whos proficient with curses? If we cant stop it from healing itself, well never defeat it!

The dragon swiped its claws, and the human mage shattered like ice. His body reappeared dozens of meters away within the middle of a group of human adventurers. The dragon furrowed its brow as if it were asking why every person here was so troublesome to deal with. It looked around; there were over two dozen people with their weapons out, meaning at least four SSS-ranked parties were participating in the battle.

Im proficient in curses, a woman said. She was wearing a sickly-green robe, and her companions were wearing outfits of the same color. Ill need three minutes to prepare everything. Can you protect me until then?

Three minutes? I can guard you for ten, a large man from a different party said. He took a step forward and punched his gauntleted fists together. I

Dont get thrown away like Devon, Keith shouted, giving ain his opinionhelpful reminder.

Goddammit, Joseph said and slapped his forehead with his palm. Silence him!

The woman who silenced Keith nodded and silenced Keith again much to Keiths dismay.
