POWER OF WILL
Hirrus was disappointed. There wasnât much in the way of Arcana to be had from the fight.
The Gley hadnât used any such abilities, and those used by the captain were a far cry from what Hirrus already had. Heâd employed some attack speed buffs, but their duration was too short to be worth Hirrusâs time compared to Pumped Kicks and Electric Field.
The defensive effect was interesting, though. It reduced damage taken by magical sources by 90% for two seconds. That meant it would demand being used at the right time, but if properly employed, it could allow him to save himself from a larger Arcana effect, like the finisher from Andrewâs big windup.
There was gear to be had. And not just from the captain, but from the other masked figures heâd slainâas well as the one who had been obliterated by the Gley.
The Gley itself didnât drop anything of interest, proving that it was not a real boss monster.
But before sorting through all the equipment, he had work to finish.
When the results of the fight had become a clear inevitability, the remaining masked figures had abandoned their posts. There was no sign of the survivors who had brought in the Gley, but also the carts they had been loading the civilians into had been abandoned by the would-be captors. Many of the folk who had been loaded up already had fled from the fight and the fire, presumably joining their friends and family in the group Alric had led away. There were a few still here, mostly staring in open despair at the burning town.
âHirrus!â Alric called, running back up the Hari Path to join him. âI got everyone out. Theyâre setting up camp around the bend.â
âThe threat is over for now,â Hirrus said, though he gestured at the burning buildings. âBut Iâm not sure what can be done for them. Iâm not sure every fire brigade in the kingdom together could do much about this blaze.â
âThatâs what they said,â Alric confirmed, gesturing over his shoulder back down the Hari Path. âIâm not sure if they were the mayor or the alderman or whatever. But they were obviously in charge.â
âThey will make do,â Hirrus said, more to himself than to Alric. He couldnât afford to get bogged down here helping to build temporary shelters while Rumi was out there waiting to meet his axe.
âWhat I donât understand isââ Alric began, but stopped abruptly, eyes glazing over in the far-off look of someone looking at their inventory.
Hirrus stared at Alric for a second, wondering what had stunned him to sudden silence. Was there something wrong with his gear? Had he earned some amount of experience points for the fight despite not participating? What was the question?
âUh-oh,â Alric said in a quiet voice.
âWhat?â
âUh-oh,â he said again, slightly louder, eyes widening.
âAlric, what is it?â
âUH-OH.â Alric was practically shouting. âOh no. This is fucked. Oh, this is giga-fucked. FUBAR doesnât even begin toââ
âWhat?â Hirrus snapped, grabbing the man by the shoulders, giving him a firm shake.
