Chapter 98: Night Attack



"I suppose half the reason for this is the fact that they didn't learn how other parties worked, and the other half is because of their young age," Rain thought.

Things got quite relaxing after that, and everyone imagined that they would be able to sleep well that night and work harder the next day… their guess was wrong.

Just like Rain was starting to feel lazy thanks to his full stomach. He felt some vibrations on the ground, and he didn't like that. He quickly got up, and while that made him feel a bit dizzy, he soon corrected himself.

"They are coming," Rain declared.

For a moment, they didn't know what Rain was talking about, but soon their minds began to work fast, and then they got up while grabbing their weapons. Jori and Reca jumped on the wall, but they couldn't see a single thing around.

Rain did the same and then created some fireballs and made them fly around the area in circles; thanks to that, the group was able to see the monsters approaching while rolling. The armored turtles were back.

"Will the wall last for long?" Jori asked.

"I made it to block the wind, but I can repair it if I need to," Rain replied.

"Liss, keep the enemies away from the walls, but don't use a barrier," Jori said. "Reca, come with me. Asche, watch our backs, and Terra, use your magic as soon as it is necessary."

Everyone nodded. It seemed that Rain would have to stay on the support duty like that. He won't be able to attack with his heavy earth balls like that, but he has other options.

Jori and Reca jumped from the walls and then prepared to face the enemies. Still, when they saw over twenty shadows around, they couldn't help but flinch… that was a number that they didn't expect.

"They approached us in a couple of hours, and for a group of this size to come… it can't be a coincidence," Rain thought.

That was too suspicious, but Rain could think about that later… when he saw the others hesitating, he decided to help instead of waiting for them when they were in a bind. He made some Fireballs fly toward the enemies and engulfed them in fire upon contact. Rain's magic firepower was quite low, but at least that slowed down the monsters, and everyone heard their grunts.

Jori and Reca charged toward the beasts, and Rain summoned more Fireballs to illuminate the area.

"A few of them are coming from behind!" Asche said while she was firing her arrows in the same direction, one after the other.

Those on the walls turned around and saw that, and they gulped. Still, Liss worked fast and used her wind magic to summon a small tornado. The pulling force of the spell slowed down the monsters and also made them be pulled by it. Even with their massive weight, they began to spin in the air.

"That will only slow them down… I guess I should offer some help," Rain thought.

Rain made some fireballs move to the tornado, and then the spells combined. While it didn't become a fire tornado, the combination created a heat tornado that made the monsters scream in agony while their bodies and shells were heating up. Shells might be hard, but they should heat up quite easily.

After turning around, Rain saw Jori and Reca being overwhelmed by monsters. The speed of Reca's thrust was enough to keep five monsters away from her, but they lacked power thanks to it. Before long, one of them circled around her and then hit her from behind.

Reca almost fell from the attack, but when the monsters used that chance to attack her from the front, he used her spear in a sweep attack, and they made the monsters roll backward and fall with their backs on the ground.

When that happened, Terra jumped from the wall to heal Reca, that bravery should be respected, but the recklessness shouldn't be copied. In any case, Rain stopped her with an earth wall.

"I don't think that a healer should get that close to the frontlines," Rain said.

"I can heal her from a distance; I just need to get closer!" Terra said.

"You can? How close exactly?" Rain asked.

"Five meters! I don't have time for this!" Terra said.

Rain had heard that some healers could do that from a distance, but he didn't think that Terra was that better than him. In any case, he jumped from the wall and made a small block of earth emerge from the ground, and it made Terra fly. He had to cover for the healer as well, just to be safe.

While Terra was caught off guard, she quickly composed herself when she was five meters above Reca and began to heal her. Reca, who had assumed a defensive stance, quickly felt better… but perhaps not too much since she went full-on the offensive once she realized that she wouldn't die even if she traded blows with the monsters thanks to Terra.

With all her might, Reca thrust her spear backward and pierced the shell of one monster, making the beast grunt in agony, but another one hit her from the side. The pain wasn't that big, thanks to the healing magic, so she did that again and again, and she didn't stop, even when her left arm wasn't moving at all.
