Chapter One.Twenty-Eight

(Thursday, May 8th / Day 18 of The World.)

The clean-up was easy enough. With all the group heals being cast, no one had lost their lives or were left with serious injuries that needed to be taken care of. It was definitely a change than what I was normally used to. After making sure my companions were doing alright, I squatted down next to the Elite Molten Flow Strider that we’d taken down.

Even dead, I could feel the intense heat coming from the fiery gaps in the creature’s incredibly tough fine scales. My mind was taking in the mass of material just laying around after this cluster fuck as I took a moment to gather the creature’s soul stone. Pocketing the purple gem into the sack at my waist, I dexterously made my way over the mounds of dead bodies to Dmitry, Krishna, and Angie who were talking to each other like old friends.

I couldn’t help the wry grin that came to my lips. There was nothing like going through an intense fight to bring people together. Getting a warm greeting from my new friends, I commended them for a job well done as I clapped Krishna and Dmitry on the shoulders while we listened to Angie’s excited story about fighting off an Elite Earth Shock Wolf face-to-face. We were just clapping the massive Werebear on her thick biceps, when my friends, Assault Leader Dell, and the Aussie Officers came walking up. Before anyone could greet us, I heard Kenzie’s voice ring out in annoyance.

“Level 36! How the hell did you gain another level?” More than one Devil Dog stifled a laugh as she whined to Jill. “This is fucking bullshit! I’ve been working my ass off for three days trying to catch up to him and this asshole goes out for two hours and gains another whole level!”

I didn’t bother to respond to any of the comments the two were making to each other. Instead, I ignored their obnoxious banter about the unfairness of it all as Dmitry made an offhanded comment to Krishna and Angie about rude people not saying “thank you” when being rescued. As the group came to a stop, Assault Leader Dell stepped forward smartly.

“My lord,” he said, thumping a fist to his breast plate. “It is good that you came when you did. The battle had just turned for the worse. Luckily, there were no deaths during the fight. Already, the remaining injured are being healed up and should be ready to move out by the time the loot parties return.”

“Excellent news, Assault Leader,” I said, returning the veteran swordsman’s salute while trying to keep the anger I felt out of my voice. Once this was all over, I was going to have to set up a true chain of command and return his General rank. The man was a life saver in getting everyone organized and trained up. The only problem he was facing now was not being sure of his place and authority when it came to other newfar.
