<span style="font-weight:400">"Gah!" Herrick and Melor let out a sound! The battle between the three came with only one winner; the bison. The sword and hammer were shattered before the might of the horns.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Herrick!" "Melor!" The two were sent flying across the room! That shocked everyone since Herrick and Melor were solid as their frontline. Even when faced with arge monster, they take the hit calmly. Despite this, it was startling because the two were rag-dolled out of there!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Gabriel, Faelyn, Jack, move forward! Scarlet and Alfia, continue to chant! Sarah, heal them! I will go forward and draw it away!" Keith had no time to worry about them. He needed to reorganize them for a fight.
<span style="font-weight:400">"On it!" Everyone made their move.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith didn''t waver as he charged at the monster. He fired off lightning, blinding the bison''s vision. However, the beast''s hearing was sharp as it charged at Keith!
<span style="font-weight:400">"!" That was precisely what Keith wanted as he twisted his body, dodging the horn by a hair''s breadth! And when he did, a burst of fire, earth, and wind shot at the bison''s side.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf!" Leona fired an arrow at the bison''s eyes, piercing it. One eye was blinded.
<span style="font-weight:400">Time to add more. Keith ced his hand in the air. When he did this, the bison slowly slowed down! Its body was being pushed down to the ground. Without any dy, Keith sliced the bison''s head. A deep sigh came out of his mouth as he rushed over to Herrick and Melor. While they fought, Sarah healed the two.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How are you two?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Fine-gah!" That fine came with a mouthful of blood! Keith shook his head as he touched his chest. It was a slight touch, but it was enough.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You have some cracked ribs." Cracking his ribs before made Keith understood.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I-" "You do. Stop trying to hide it." Herrick wanted to retort, but the man shook his head. Talking was only going to hurt him more.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We need to head back." We''re close as well. They didn''t need to take care of the boss to return to the lobby. They were close enough to return.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Gabriel, you take care of Herrick. Jack, carry Melor."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." "Gotcha."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alfia, tell Saphir to tell the rest that we wille out. Have them hold the door down."
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are you going to do?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will be the one to open up the path. The rest are back up." Keith cracked his knuckles as he brought out a heavy sword. As they talked, monsters appeared before them. That was when Keith made his move, smashing them into paste!
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." The others were speechless when they saw that. How strong are you? He was sending them flying!
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh," Cadmus sipped on some tea as he rxed in his chair, "This is the life."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed it is." Nephele sat beside him as she ate an orange.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You two are way toofortable." Diana groaned as she saw how the two acted. It was as if they were on a vacation.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t want to hear that from you. You have also been reading on a chair thesest few days." Cadmus saw her. Whenever Keith wasn''t around or the others had other things to do, she would take the time to rx.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But you two are acting like this every day." Her thing was on a time-to-time basis. Cadmus and Nephele tried their best to rx all the time.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, this isn''t really considered rxing," Cadmus muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You should see what Keith did at his home." Cadmus shook his head. This was low-tier.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What did he do to his home?" The others became interested in his words. Whenever they were reminiscing, that meant something good happened. Cadmus always talked about the things he had gone through.
<span style="font-weight:400">All of it was about Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">"For starters, he made a giant perg in his backyard."
<span style="font-weight:400">"He built one?" The great spirits and elf said in unison.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It was so nice, and he also had parties and meetings there. William kept boasting about it to me." William had always annoyed him with this thing. And it wasn''t just him, but to everyone he knew.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Are you kidding me?" Nephele blinked, "I want something like that here!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''ve been waiting for Keith to do something like that." Cadmus was eager for this as well. Having a perg would definitely make Julius jealous.
<span style="font-weight:400">"When will he do it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Some other time." Cadmus was going to say something else when he heard something.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, they''re home." They went to the door to greet them, only to make them stunned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What happened to you guys?" Herrick and Melor were being carried by Gabriel and Jack. This was a surprise to see since their team was so powerful.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Got into a slight mishap. Can you get the nurse over here?" Keith quickly moved them over to the living room.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Rx, I cracked a few ribs."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Cracking a few ribs is still a problem." Keith shook his head. That was when the nurse entered.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I have brought the nurse." Aidiun had brought in the nurse. She quickly walked over to the scene and got to work.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith sighed deeply, feeling remorse about the situation.
