“ Your fucking spell breaks all the rules of physics!”Įric laughed at that. “You’re not winning that easy.”Īnd much to Eric’s bemusement, she returned shortly thereafter with an actual oil lamp, flashing him an impish smile before cursing louder than ever. She carefully made her way back, this time sheltering the flame carefully. Eric nodded, and she quickly proceeded to the first pile of gunpowder, before furrowing her brow. “ You ready?” Lizzy asked once Lana made herself scarce. “Best you go downstairs and keep your extra passenger safe, in case this blows up in my face,” she said, earning a wince and a reluctant nod from Lana. “Yes! Time for some fireworks.” She turned to Lana. Are you alright?” Lana asked, carefully not leaning too far over the battlement with one hand on her belly, the other bracing herself on the nearest merlon.Įric gave a thumbs up, stumbling back to his feet. “You okay down there, hero?” she said, her grin growing all the wider when an alarmed Lana tried to shush her. Lizzy laughed down at him, eyes twinkling. “ Debilito dicio ignis plures dies!” He roared before collapsing to one knee, suddenly dizzy as 75 points was drained from both his Mana and Qi Pool in the blink of an eye. He then raised his hand, before slowly lowering it, holding it up to his eyes as if to mime pressing gently down upon the entire keep, awed to actually feel an unexpected shift in the mana flow, conjoined with a rapid surge of Spirit Qi.

He then gazed upon the lesser runes, doing his best to devise what sentences he could from them. He careful reviewed the 5 greater runes he currently had access to.

With that, he closed his eyes and concentrated once more on shimmering runes now emblazoned upon his mind. “ Seriously? You want us to risk flash burns while you practice magic that is what, the opposite of flame?”Įric grinned. And she wasn’t above throwing out a few snarky quips here and there, Eric had found, happy to see the spark of spirit in at least a few of the girls returning, after being forced to endure depravity that absolved Eric of any guilt he might have felt for both the Gunner and orc blood now on his hands, as far as he was concerned. This earned a particular look from a brown-haired girl named Lizzie, who’s initial shy flinches when she so much has saw him had turned to an ever growing curiosity.

It was a look shared by two of the girls helping them out by placing small piles of black powder on several of the battlement merlons, right next to the especially deep crenelations that had formerly nested several of the cannon the orcs had taken with them up north.Įric nodded his approval. Eric gazed up at Lana, her expression an odd mixture of fear and hope blending into a sort of hyper-attentiveness, like an intern working under his mother on their first day.
