>>6006539How powerful is the leader of these warriors? You've been told by Hanbei that Baphomets aren't combat-oriented, but here you are witnessing one of them equal to your combat ability!
Or maybe you're just weak.
Wow, the thought stings!
"What the hell are you doing, Gareth!?" You shout at your bait standing about. You dodge the Wyvern's poisonous tail by a hand's breath.
"You're handling it pretty well; I think you can beat the Wyvern on your own... I'll duel you right after." Gareth blows her nails and looks at them as though inspecting them for dirt. There's not even a hint of a desire to attack the Wyvern and help you.
"YOU DEVIOUS BITCH!"
You can't believe this sneaky girl. How dare she pull an act of sudden but inevitable betrayal! That's your shtick! You are the King of craftiness, the mistress of the underhanded, and such.
"I'm joking."
<span class="mu-r">You can use Let No Insult Pass on Gareth in the future.</span>
With a smile at her own joke, Gareth leaps forth with her lance and joins the battle. Her shield smashes straight into one of the Wyvern's heads, pulverizing it into a mass of unrecognizable flesh. The second head staggers and tries to gnaw on her, but her lance wards off the attack.
You are so tempted to attack to Gareth over her little joke...
>Keep the Wyvern pinned!...>Pull Frostbind out and attack!...>Attack Gareth while she's distracted! She deserves it...>Try to see what happened to your guide!...>Start using your ice magic at close range!...>Leave Frostbind, start pummeling the Wyvern with your fists!...>Write in...
