Jura's friend, Kage, respawned at the back of the painting with a blank face, to where the magic circle was located. It was the respawn point for the dead participants.
However, instead of greeting him, the legendary welcoming squad had noticed sothing.
'Where are those people who fell to the ridge?!!!'
'Why didn't they respawn yet?!!!'
Everyone was baffled.
(Wait… Are… They… Still… Alive?)
!
Right at this mont, Crimson and the others ca out of the ridge. At their backs were black wings.
(Wreeeng wreeeng wreeeng…)
.
Cinder and the others were tired of surprises already. Yet, this person pulled off another one again!
Right before their sorry-self crashed to the bottom, each of them felt a bite on their necks. Then a feeling of exhaustion invaded them like their mana was being sucked away.
They were about to resign to their horrible fate when out of a sudden, sothing grew from their backs.
Then it lifted them to the surface.
Puzzled, everyone peered around them. Then, each of them saw the others being held by a black figure with wings.
It was a Giant Winged-Ant!!!
No need to ask who was the one responsible for it. As only one person could pull such creatures out from his storage.
What puzzled them, 'is when did Crimson put these Enhance Fire Dolls to them?'
Only Cinder knew when. It was when Crimson tapped her shoulder. A small insect ca crawling towards her at that ti. And she also rembered that after he tapped her, he also tapped the others.
'Did he already guessed that this would happen?' Cinder widened her eyes. This person, for so reason she couldn't define him anymore. He was beyond reasons.
However, how did it grow so big?! It was supposed to be so tiny. What kind of ability does this kind of Enhance Fire Doll hold? Cinder was so curious. But right at this mont she was too exhausted.
Crimson and the others landed 20 ters away from the ridge edge.
(Hah… hah… hah…)
Everyone was breathing heavily. Then they heard an approaching noise.
(Tap tap tap tap tap...)
They glanced to where the steeping noise ca from and they saw him walking slowly towards them.
Suddenly, the Black Winged-Ant flew and flocked above him.
"Are you guys okay?" He asked when he ca near to them.
"Aaaah—barely alive…" Ember was the one who answered while pushing his body into a sitting position.
They noticed Crimson forced a chuckle.
"Aaah! I thought I'm a goner," Aegor cried out with his back on the ground, and his arms were stretched wide in opposite directions, forming like 'T'.
He noticed everyone was barely moving. And each of them perspired so much. He glanced at the red-haired girl with wolf ears. She's no good as well.
Cinder twitched then forced her mouth, "T-Thanks f-for saving us again… Crimson…" she said in difficulty that sounds like a whisper.
"Don't sweat it," he replied with a grin.
Tiafel and Taflas said their thanks also.
"By the way, I excuse myself for a minute. For now, rest and try to regain your strength. We will go after those people when I return."
"....."
After saying it, he waved his hand and two of the Mouse-model Enhance Fire Dolls appeared.
He did not wait for their reply and walked a little farther. Seeing his back moving farther, Cinder frowned. She wanted to co but she couldn't lift her body.
The two Mouse-models stood closer, guarding them against any potential harm.
His figure disappeared from their sight when he walked quite a distance.
After he left them, Sistela whispered in his ears.
Being together with him for quite long. She could guess his motive. This whole event was conducted by him. Her partner could sense any bad intent towards him, thanks to the Demon of Possession's passive ability.
"It wasn't like I did it for myself… it's the only thing I could think of. To cure Yana."
For Yman, no matter what, he needed to cure his sister. So whatever cos to his mind that could help him, he won't hesitate to use any ans.
