>>5676840No! You wouldn’t back down. Not here, and not in front of Ingrid. You’d rescue her and defeat Rex. You had no other choice but to succeed. Uncorking the final elixir from your belt, you consume its contents and undo the damage inflicted upon you by the enemy’s Bolting spell. As you do, Rex and his Wyvern make a beeline towards you, Gae Bolg drawn and ready for action.
>Blair: (60/60)Rex is far quicker than his wyvern’s bulky appearance would suggest. You try and outmaneuver him in the skies, dodging left and right in hopes of keeping your distance away from him. It’s no use though. This wyvern of his is unlike any you’d seen before. It seems to have no trouble keeping up with Beathan, a feat few others of its kind could claim. Rex increases his altitude and passes you, only to sharply turn and attack you with a divebomb. Gae Bolg slashes through your right side in a spray of blood. The spear does not stop there though. His attack manages to cut through Beathan as well. Your pegasus lets out an anguished cry as it begins to struggle to keep you afloat.
>Rex: 42 STR + 20 (Gae Bolg) = 62 – 26 DEF = 36 DMG>Crest: 47 (Miss)>Dragon-kin: 67 (Miss)>Crit: 99 (Miss)>Blair: (24/60 HP)While Rex is still in close distance, you transmute your Killing Lance, infusing it with magic, and swing at the Wyvern Lord’s head.
>Transmute: 1 Use Left>Blair: (30 STR + 10 (KL+) + 5 (Lancefaire) + 4 (Fiery Blood) = 49 – 30 RES = 19 DMG>Crit: 65 (Miss)>Stun: 22 (Miss)You swing wildly, and instead catch Rex on his right pauldron. A wince of pain flashes across his face, but he quickly replaces it with a grin as he pulls away from you.
>Rex: 56/120 HPBy the mercy of Rex’s Crest not activating, you are still alive. You and Rex continue to circle each other, both of you seeking openings in the other’s defenses. Rex seems to find a hole in yours before you do his, and he bids Ashnard to rush forward. His spear poised and ready to strike, you brace for the end when a flash of blue from behind him alerts you to Ingrid’s presence. She’s mustered up whatever remained of her strength to join the fray once more. Rex and Ashanrd turn at the very last second. He brings his guard up and manages to seemingly halt Luin in its tracks. As their spears clash, for a brief second, it appears that he’s managed to successfully block Ingrid. Slowly but surely though, Rex is being slowly pushed back. The Crest of Daphnel activates once more, resonating with Luin. Ingrid is rewarded with a newfound strength. She succeeds in breaking Rex’s guard, before plunging Luin into your brother’s chest.
>Ingrid: 34 STR + 25 (Luin) = 59 – 37 DEF = 22 DMG + 10 (Crest of Daphnel) = 32 Damage>Rex: 24/140 HP
