Chapter 194 - 194 Finding Justice (part 1)
“How we are going to survive this one? Such a headache.” Said Leo while huffing his breath.
Xavier rustled his hair. “We just need to fight all of them, right?”
Henry, Arthur, and Leo turn their heads to Xavier.
“Are you mad? There are a dozen of them and we got like this many people!” Arthur spread his hand and emphasize their small group number of people.
They got his point, one reckless move, and they could lose one of them. There’s no doubt that they have the ability to obliterate the Gargators. They need a good strategy for this. Henry walks from the end of the deck into the other. He observes the monsters and calls the men to follow him.
“Look, we got one red gargator and one black gargator, the rest of them are the grey gargators. It will be possible to fight without anyone getting injured or killed.” Said Henry to all of them.
“Did you fight this monster before?” Asked Arthur to him.
Henry gave him a smirk. “Oh, it seems like the magic knight captain never encountered this two dimension beast before.”
.....
“Shut up! It is not because I am weak, it’s because they rarely gave us a simple job for this type of monster.” He said to the others that make them more worked up than before.
“Excuse me! So, you think our job is not as important as yours?!” Xavier was furious. He almost jump at Arthur, if only Henry wasn’t there.
Henry grabs his arm and shakes his head. “We need the two of you at a peak condition, so just bear the insult for now.”
Arthur blinked and gasped, “Hey, I didn’t mean to insult, I was just…”
“Speaking the truth! Yes, we know.” Said Henry and Xavier at the same time.
Witnessing the interaction from behind, Anne couldn’t stop herself from laughing. She loves how they could finally have more friendly bickering, rather than useless fighting, with one another. Leo asked her to go inside and not bother them.
“We should wait with Nathan inside and be ready if they got hurt.” Said Leo to her.
Took a glance at Anne, who followed Leo, glad that at least Leo had some sense to ask her to go inside. Now they have time to plan their move and fight the monsters without worrying about the safety of the girl.
“Henry, I think I could trap the red and black gargators and the rest of you just need to kill the ten grey gargators.” With a very confident voice, Brom look into everyone, like he was just concocted some good plan for them.
“You… told us, to kill ten of gargators, just me, Xavier, and Arthur, don’t you think how absurd it was?” Henry squinted his face, while a bit perplexed by how Brom’s mind was actually working.
Shrugged his shoulder, Brom then said, “I don’t see, why not? The four of us are captains, this should be an easy task for us…” He looks at Arthur, “This one even killed a big monster on the hoard, right?”
“Yes, but it was because the beast was already weak enough for me to strike it with a final blow.” Sighed Arthur while he glared at Brom.
“Oh, come on, don’t be modest magic knight, at least you can help us, kill five of the grey gargators.” Smirked Henry, he even winked at Arthur.
Arthur rolled his eyes. “Fine, so how can I kill the grey one?”
Henry got excited, he claps his hands and begin to instruct everyone, “Alright, this is how we are going to do.”
Everyone was focused on Henry. The knight captain laid out some plans one by one, Arthur and Xavier asked questions while Brom just leaned into the ship’s wall, waiting for the time to attack. They are determined to get through this, and when the plan is ready to be executed, Henry, Brom, Xavier, and Arthur are standing on the edge of the ship, ready to attack the group of gargator.
“Alright, remember our plan, Brom. You can begin,” Henry said to Brom, whom the Magi captain just gave a slight nod to.
Brom jump from the ship with his magi cloak, ready to cast a spell on the monsters. He calls for a wind spell and knocked almost all the grey gargators, and before the red gargator plunged its huge jaw into Brom, he locks the monster with a bubble prison spell.
“Ready!” He yelled at Henry, Arthur, and Xavier.
Xavier calls for the great axe and easily hacks into two of the grey gargators, Henry calls for his spear and pierces one, while Arthur uses a fire sword to slash three of them. Brom, having a hard time, keeps the red gargator inside the prison bubble. He maximizes the spell by adding a chain to the bubble prison, hoping that it will hold the monster inside.
Henry, Arthur, and Xavier were almost done with the ten grey gargators. After the last one is slaughtered by their cooperation, Arthur looks around and feels something is wrong.
“Wait, Brom gets the red gargator, right? I thought there was another gargator, the black one.” Said Arthur to Xavier and Henry.
Xavier and Henry look at each other, and they curse in unison, “F*ck! The black one is hiding!”
Arthur run to Brom with a lightning bow in his hand, “Brom! The black one, it is missing!” Screamed Arthur to Brom.
Brom turns his head to Arthur, “What? I can’t hear you.”
Just as soon as he finished the sentence, a big shadow jump towards Brom from behind him. Brom looks at the black gargator with its big jaw and is ready to bite his head. He screams, and then a thunderous sound came from the sky. A lightning blow pierces into the body of the black gargator, just inches before it gets into Brom. Brom put the red gator inside the prison carefully, before he falls to the ground. Arthur came to him and asked if he was alright.
“Yeah, yeah… I am fine. Was it you who killed this beast?” Brom asked the magic knight captain while he was panting hard after the near-death experience.
Arthur shakes his head and helps him stand up. “No… No, it wasn’t me.”
“Then… who?” Asked Brom with a frown on his face.
“It’s me, Brom.” A man appeared from the shadow, he wear a magi cloak, with emerald green eyes. Vale was smiling at them. “Hey, are you alright?”
