177 Chapter 177 (2/2)

Oak

Level 40 Fortress Indra

”Fortress Indra?” James mumbled, shaking his head. He could tell The Candied King was just as confused as he was about the fact that Oak was still standing. On top of that, Oak seemed to have taken practically no damage from the attack. Obviously, Oak had blown a cooldown, but James wanted to know which one.

”What do you normally do, fly?” Z was moving towards Oak's side, his eyes focused on The Candied King and the battle ahead of them. ”Or do you just ride a dicken?” As Z spoke, his dicken, which was still alive, unlike James's, let out a cluck like a chuckle… or a cluckle. Damned bird.

”I could always throw you at the Candied King.” Was James's reply as he began moving towards the two adventurers. He really didn't intend to throw them…though the more he thought about, it could actually be a good idea. Did DCO have falling damage? If not….

”Errrr, we can do a much better job of protecting you from here.” Z retorted, motioning into the tree line at a group of approaching players. A group James recognized all too well. He was wondering when they would show up.

”You do your best job, doing whatever it is you do. We will keep you alive.” The leader of the Knight's Who Go Ni flashed James his trademark smile, even as he motioned for James to fall back slightly. James was already doing that, as he could see The Candied King readying another one of his Holy Hand Grenades. James knew he needed to figure out some way to stop the Avatar from using his players as a sacrificial pool. At the same time, he needed to stay alive, so he could keep Rue alive.

The berserker was still going toe to toe with The Candied Queen. Rue's axe was swinging with intense speed and strength at the Spartan, who in turn was deftly dodging and parrying attacks with her candied sword. From what James could remember of history, combined with the fact The Candied King had made a comment about Spartans, sparked the knowledge in him that the candied short sword was called a Xiphos. A weapon Spartans had been known to be extremely proficient with, which excelled at close quarters combat, and precision thrusts and slashes. In fact, the smaller size of The Candied Queen's Weapon was what was giving her an advantage it seemed against Rue and her massive battle axe.

James knew he needed to get a heal off on Monty Python soon, as well as needed to do something about The Candied King's crowd of fodder. He also figured he may need to reevaluate the battlefield, and figure out a way to help push back the enemy forces. After all, BLANKs army was on their doorstep, and if they were going to overcome this battle, they needed to forced BLANK to retreat, so everyone could regroup, and make use of the essence they were likely earning.

A glance back towards the forest, and the group approaching, also reminded him of one other thing. He needed to first and foremost make sure he stayed alive. Something he was confident Z and his party could do. James was putting his faith in the Knights to bring down Soul Demon's party.
