Chapter 362 - 362: Battle at the New Headquarters part 13 (1/2)
[At the New Headquarters]
I'm simply exhausted. Maintaining the ice steel magic fortress couple with maintaining the marine golems, and not to mention, the raging water ship spell just now that I put most of my mana into (in the end, it's worth it, seeing as how the weird canine ball up there in the sky getting destroyed), but the battle seems to be coming to its end
With most of them chasing after the now bodiless Saintess Angela (which surprisingly somehow manage to get past them all), and with most of the canine devil already taken care of by The Holy Beast of Wind, Eternal Wind, the battle really seems to be coming to its very end
”Finally! It's over!” [Charlotte]
”Now, now, don't jinx it” [Karon]
”Come on now, I'm just tired. Plus, with this raining flesh and blood, me letting a sigh is just to vent out my tiredness” [Charlotte]
”Haha. The battle is not over yet, but you can rest a bit and let me handle the rest” [Karon]
”Really! You're the best brother!” [Charlotte]
”I seem to recall you said that to Brother Ash and Rean as well, so which ranking am I on this best brother list?” [Karon]
”You guys are all the best! Don't put me in a difficult spot with that trick question!” [Charlotte]
”Haha” [Karon]
With Karon maintaining the transparent glass shield, and us having a little chat, I really really thought it's all over, but as Karon said, don't jinx it, and suddenly, out of nowhere
”G.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.H.H.H.H” [Zin]
”What! What was that!?” [Charlotte]
”Zin...” [Karon]
”I know, but I mean, why suddenly he decided to move? Could it be, because of the flesh hitting him constantly?” [Charlotte]
”That seems to be the case here, or maybe Saintess Angela doing something” [Karon]
Please! Why now!? Most of us are already on our last leg. I can't even move from my spot, and Kara mention that she herself, Mara, Birdie and Mr Kana already exhausted their last bit of mana, currently resting. Behe is on his child form, after sustaining multiple injuries when he fought against the Devilish King Behemoth. Zerolith on the other hand is still maintaining his Chrono stasis spell. Most adventures and knights also experiencing similar conditions
”This is bad... Just how many of us can still fight?” [Karon]
”Everyone are simply exhausted. This is too much... This is too much...” [Charlotte]
”Charlotte, you rest here and replenish your stamina and mana. I'll go there and help the other” [Karon]
”Right... Please, be careful” [Charlotte]
That's the only response that I can tell him. I wanted to fight with the other as well, but with my condition, it's impossible. The only thing that I can do now is to maintain my spells, protecting this area and taking care of the remaining canine devils
As Zin start walking, I thought he will walk here, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The direction he's hiding is, one of the dungeon entrance. I don't know whether it's just his instinct to escape the assault of barrage that the now Holy Beast of Wind taking his Rampaging Garuda form, or he's simply wondering around. Even if he's trying to escape, I can't think how he will fit into that ”tiny” entrance? He's basically the size of a hill, maybe even that of a small mountain. Unless he shrink his body, he couldn't possibly fit through that entrance
