Panic and smoke filled the air, and by the time the latter cleared, Risinger was in a battle stance again, with his lance and confident grin facing towards us.

"Dragon..." Risinger twirled his lance left and right, as a fiery aura in the shape of the serpent began to coil around his lance.

"Run!" Rima yelled.

"...SURGE!" the moment Risinger finish yelling his spell, he charged, no, blasted off from his location in a fiery comet. And even though the aura around him was nowhere touching me, the sheer air force around him was enough to knock my ass to the ground. The path Risinger has charged on, was now no more than a path of smoking debris, stretching at least 50 meters.

"STRIKE!" Risinger said proudly, as he slowly turned around to face the path of destruction he left behind.

"Oh never mind, still got a few left..." Risinger scanned the few remaining members. "Let me just clean this up real quick then..." Risinger twirled his lance, then without any warning, he dashed to the nearest person in a blink of an eye, and impaled that person.

Eritol fell back to the ground before I could even say his name, and by the time he dissolved into a million red shards, Risinger already turned his eyes onto the next person, and that person being me.

Time seemed to spot as my entire body stayed glue in its place as if I was a wax statue. And that would probably be better, so I wouldn't feel any pain. Knowing my inevitable game over screen, I shut my eyes tight and waited.

CLANG!

My eyes flew open at once upon the great sound of metal clashing, and standing between me and Risinger's lance was none other than Sull1van, with her shield raised and blocking.

"Ho, a little tanky huh?" Risinger pressed his lance forward even harder. "How about this!?"

Sull1van who was in her hulking silver armor, was pushed back one little step at a time, until her heel was almost touching me.

That's when her shield shattered, followed with a gleaming body of silver passing through her armor and lifting her up off the ground like a human BBQ. And just like, she began to slowly dissolve into a million red shards, and there I was, still sitting my ass helplessly on the ground, waiting for my demise.

When Risinger looked down upon me again, not a single word was said, just a simple look of contempt. And as he raised his spear and bring me to an end, I couldn't help but close my eyes again.

I am still so fking useless!

I am still too fking weak!

Everyone...

Q: What do you think will happen next to Riga?
