A couple seconds passed and then the sound of hurried footsteps and clicking gear echoed through the rocky clearing. I tensed up as I gripped my sword tighter but then I relaxed when I saw the familiar silhouettes erging from the shadows.
Dasheen, Ketara and Jet burst I to the view with their eyes wide as they took in the surrounding.
"Was that the boss monster?" Jet blurted out, his voice cracked as he stared at the dissipating remains. His lanky fra froze mid step, as his goggles fogged up from the steam still rising from the ground. "No way that’s the boss monster..."
Ketara tossed her fiery red hair and crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow. "Valeria, you absolute snake! You took down a gate boss solo? I knew you had it in you, even with those baby hands of yours!" She grinned, punching the air like she was already celebrating.
Valeria’s eyes widened and she waved her hands frantically as her cheeks flushed red. "No, no, no! It wasn’t ! Levi did it!"
The squad fell silent and threw pairs of eyes swiveled to , still slumped against a small boulder, looking like I’d been dragged through a volcano and a blizzard at the sa ti.
Their expressions were a mix of disbelief and admiration.
"Levi?" Jet’s jaw dropped so low I have sworn it hit the ground. His goggles slid down to his nose and he fumbled to push them back up. "You’re telling noodle boy..."
Dasheen however, was calm, tilted his head and his dark eyes narrowed as he studied . His massive broadsword rested on his shoulder and his quiet presence seed to ground the tantrum. "Is that true Levi?"
Ketara wasn’t having it. Her hands flew to her hips, her voice rising like a gun. "Hold up! You’re saying Levi took down the boss monster? By himself? No offense, Valeria, but you were keeping him from bleeding out the whole ti, right?"
Valeria nodded and a small smile tugged at her lips. "Yeah, but he’s the one who figured out how to make them cancel each other out... It was quite brilliant if you you guys were fast enough you would have witnessed it".
"What do you an by... Cancel each other out?" Jet muttered.
I pushed myself off the boulder, ignoring the ache in my muscles, and stepped toward the still fading remains of the Elental dogs. A faint glint caught my eye and it was the Anti-arcane stone from the creature. It was no bigger than my fist and it had a hexagonal shape with a whole in the middle. Next to it lay the Canine Blood Locket, I knelt down to pick both items as the rest of the squad watched .
Ding!
