Chapter 11

To be fair to them, the Paranormal Agent guards reacted a lot more quickly than Joe might have anticipated they would when he, Lilli, Lucius, and Aida all emerged from around the corner and started charging towards them.

Joe was in the lead, not out of any cliched sense of heroic duty but because he knew he could act as a human shield against any spells that were fired towards the group from their foes. This contingency of his happened to be a good one, as a water spell, a bit of undamency, was fired straight at him from the lead guard who was quick to push himself away from the wall he had been leaning on.

The man’s eyes glowed an aquamarine color behind the severe spectacles he wore, and a globe of water formed in front of him. This divided into four smaller globes that shot towards Joe’s chest. He absorbed them all, but each one knocked him backwards until the fourth smacked him into the wall. While he was able to absorb the magic, with difficulty if he was honest, the physical blows he could not quite deflect. The hex-vest soaked up a lot of the damage, but he still found himself propelled backwards, half sliding down the wooden wall.

At the same time, the large black dog that he had made a note of bounded towards Lilli. The little maid dwarf didn’t let the ferocious occult animal check her stride in the least. The pearl necklace, which was her magical bond mate, Joc the bogeyman, made flesh, glowed briefly.

An almost cartoonish giant hammer manifested itself in the air, swung sideways, and crashed the black hound into the wall. It fell with a yelp.

Aida followed up with an unrefined burst of raging wind magic, which forced the remaining enemies backwards a few steps. It ripped the paintings off the walls and sent them spinning at their foes. They managed to dodge most of them, but one of the men, a bulky man with a gleaming bald patch, took a picture to the head in the prescribed manner. That is to say, his noggin went clean through the canvas, and he found his arms pinned to his side by the gaudy gold frame.

“Holy crap, that actually happens in real life!” Joe said, pushing himself back to standing. Despite the severity of the situation they were in, he couldn’t help but be delighted at that.

Making the most of this group disarray, Joe regurgitated the water magic that he had taken on from the surprised Paranormal Agent and fired it back. He let it loose in a hail of fist-sized watery ball bearings that plowed with the force of riot gun rounds into the quartet of enemy mages. They grunted and groaned as the missiles struck home, splashing water into their faces and up the walls. One of them caught the man trapped by the picture frame in the head and left him with an instant egg-shaped welt.

Joe then called upon the bond he shared with the thunderbird.
