>>5234246Those students are heading straight towards Kronya, and you’re not going to miss your chance to get a piece of her. The way she’s fighting, the Professor should require no additional help when it comes to wiping out the enemy in front of her. You join the unit of Black Eagles, providing them cover from above.
“Oh, I’m glad SOMEONE finally made it up here!” Kronya says. “You aren’t the ones I was hoping for, but a little warm-up wouldn’t hurt. Well, who am I kidding? It’s gonna hurt you a whole lot!”
>“Goddess, she never shuts up.” You say to no one in particular. Flanking her are two nasty looking mages, clad in robes that reveal nothing of their identity. Just who the hell are these guys? As your group nears the enemy, the two mages begin making their way towards you. While one seems focused on the five Black Eagles up ahead, the other turns his attention towards you. Couldn’t expect to go unscathed forever, you suppose.The mage turns his hands up towards you, and from them, a swarm of flies seem to spontaneously appear out of thin air around you. The bloodsucking creatures do their best to devour you and Beathan, painfully latching on to the both of you.
(Enemy: 20+4=24 Mag – 16 Res = 8 DMG, Blair 39/47 HP, -5 SPD for one Turn)
Gritting your teeth, you conjure flames to burn the creatures off, before retaliating with your own magic, launching two fireballs at the cloaked figure. Both spells connect with the man, who seemingly shrugs off the magic with his superior resistance. Before he can counterattack though, his head is split in by the timely appearance of Caspar. You notice your friends have already dealt with the other mage. Kronya meanwhile, has stayed still in the back, watching disinterestedly.
>10 XP gained! (50/100)Your friends face Kronya, weapons brandished, but none of them move in for the attack. You get a good look at the woman who was masquerading as Monica for the first time. She looks human…but not quite. There’s something remarkably uncanny about her. Whether it’s her skin color, which is far paler than you’ve ever seen on another human, or the strange material her outfit seems to be made of, there’s something odd about her. Odd, and extremely dangerous. You got a firsthand taste at how quick and deadly the girl was back at the Abandoned Chapel, but seeing her now, you get the feeling she’s far worse than she was letting on.
“So, who’s first?” She asks.
>A): Bid your friends to pull back and wait for the Professor>B): Attack her together as one >C): Write-in
