Chapter 3 - A Fight To The Death Breaks Out in the Lake Town

“Graaaah!” Narof’s formerly severed head cried out. Tentacles spurted from its mouth, twisting wildly.

Did this guy... absorb Narof’s corpse?

I had no idea what kind of abilities Narof had while alive, but one thing was for sure: my already bad feelings about the whole situation just got twice as worse. Still, I’m not really the type to sportingly wait for the opponent to show off what he can do before springing into action, so I immediately began to chant a new spell.

“Elmekia Lance!”

Before either me or Aireus could make a move, Dilarl launched a spell from the back row. This incantation attacked the opponent’s astral form directly, and was powerful enough to kill a lesser demon in a single blow. There was no way for Aireus, who looked like little more than a mass of skin growing out of the ground, to dodge something like that; the spear of light managed to score a direct hit. ave

The young man’s expression did not change at all, though, and Narof’s head next to him also continued with his ‘yell and twist your tentacles’-routine. The skin where the Elmekia Lance connected simply peeled off and plopped to the ground like a piece of scab.

Narof’s head began howling even louder - it felt like the space itself cracked around us. Numerous points of light appeared in the air.

What--?

“Dodge!!” I warned the others, halting my incantation, and made a run for it. At the same moment, the lights sprang into motion, bombarding the ground in random directions. I narrowly managed to avoid a couple of them heading my way, and--

Boooom!

The fierce sound of an ear-splitting explosion echoed through the cave. I could feel an enormous amount of heat and steam rising from the ground around me.

“Is everyone all right?” I called to the others.

“I’m okay!”

“...Me too..”

“I am, for now.” The three voices reached my ears.

It seems everyone made it, but... Aireus smacked us with something really powerful back there. It might have even been the Blast Bomb; a spell which, in simple terms, creates several hugely boosted Fireballs, and lets them loose all at once. The projectiles that missed and hit the lake instead were responsible for the steam.

Thanks to that, though, I could no longer see our opponents or anyone of our team either. It would’ve been good to say that the enemy wasn’t faring any better, but since they weren’t really human, it was hard to say for sure.

Oh, and to make things even more unfair for me, I lost my short sword which I was using as a light source in place of a torch when we were swept away by the water and ended up here. Not that I could strike too many enemies down with it, but it was good for making a diversion.

Anyway, complaining about lost stuff is a waste of time.

For now, I chose to chant another spell.

Suddenly, the sense of great danger struck me, seemingly without reason and I by dove to the left by instinct.
