28 I.D. Ten T. (2/2)
{I saw, are we going to assist?}
Jericho hesitated.
{I know you hate fighting but are you going to let two of the mortals you sent out there and care about be hunted down and killed?}
Jericho's eyes turned grey as regret and grief reminded him of his parents. His thoughts started berating him. -They died because you sent them.- -You knew the danger and chose to do nothing.- -Did you really love them? Why would you let them die if you did?- -You could have saved them but you didn't.-
{The water element in your body is in chaos.} Glaw commentated. {Why are you in turmoil? Isn't trying to save them as simple as going and doing something?}
The darkness intensified as Glaw's words hit Jericho right where it hurt the most.
RuneHeart noticed Jericho being distracted. ”What's going on?”
”My sister's friend is in danger.” He replied listlessly.
”I heard you turned into a pacifist. Where are they? I'll go help them, I specialize in electric magic.”
{Are we going?} Glaw asked.
Jericho clenched his fist. ”Let's go.” He put away the piano and ran towards the farmer's fields.

[Call it. Princess is done.] [...]
Ken assigned the Mexp. He felt his body grow and the weakness of being a tier 1 creature leaving him.
[Your claw skill has reached 0/10 Adept] [Your bite skill has reached 0/10 Adept.]… [Your animal (Predator) skill line has grown to Tier 2. You have grown to a tier 2 lynx. You have gained the skills Thick hide 0/10 beginner, Fierce Roar 0/10 beginner…]
Pleased with the results, Ken went to go find Lux.
The farmers watched carefully and relaxed after seeing the lynx show no hostile intent towards them.
Lux and Ken ran into each other. (Brother Ken! Now you really are like my older brother! You should improve your fishing skills so you can catch fish for your adorable little brother!)
Ken let out a feline laugh sound. (Dream on, little brother. You promised me a while back that you would do all the fishing for both of us. Besides, you need to grow stronger too.)
(It was worth a shot.) Lux muttered before leaping at a nearby rat to vent.
”Woah, a field boss spawned out here? Awesome!” A man shouted.
”Let's get it!” Another person replied.
(Crap! Lux, hide!) Ken roared as he noticed a group of five rush towards him.

The small lynx backed off and hid.
The armored man in front charged at Ken.
The lynx leaped to the side avoiding the blow.
[You have become engaged in combat with other players. As an in-game creature you are subject to the rules of Aggression. Unless you possess specific skills that ignore or reset the aggression counter you cannot attack any other creature except your target. Unless your enemy flees, you must continue the fight. As you are 'owned' by Jericho the Bard all kills you achieve will be placed on his head.] [If you wish to flee combat, you may activate your Human Form skill; however, there are many witnesses. Monster to Human and Human to Monster transformations are feared by most people in this world. Your infamy may rise.] [Monster to Monster transformations are not as feared and are expected to a degree.]
Ken felt upset as he fought the group's tank. Logically, taking out the healer and the highest damage dealers would be the wisest course of action because the tank of a group was usually a high health difficult to kill opponent.
The closest farmer tried to rush forward. ”Wait, stop fighting please!” She cried out.
”The dagger wielding damage dealer pushed the farmer away. ”These beasts are dangerous it is best if you stay back.”
The farmer frowned. ”These beasts are helping us hunt down our pests and they belong to someone else. Stop!” She shouted as she tried pulling the rogue's arm away.
The dagger wielder pushed the woman to the ground. ”If you don't want to get killed, get out of here.” He lifted his dagger threateningly.
The farmer seeing the malicious intent in the man's eyes backed off in fear.
The fight continued.
Lux grew angry. (How dare you attack my brother and the nice lady trying to help him!)
Ken's ears twitched. (Lux wait!)
The kitten paused before jumping into combat.
(Sneak behind them and take out the guy in white.) He directed.
The kitten worked his way around the group.
Ken noticed his health dropping to 50% (Monster form). He snarled as he stood on his hind legs, not even thinking that he was acting the same way monster bosses typically do when their health drops. He hopped back out of the fighter's range and drew his bow with his clawed hands. (It feels really weird but here goes.) Ken thought back to the sounds of the dance lessons. Despite his knees being the wrong direction and his feet still being oversized paws, he was able to pick up a rhythm again.
”The boss has entered its second phase guys, we've got this!” Their tank shouted.
