Chapter 13 – A Rank Above

Zane headed back to us as we once again cheered for our friend. The fight had been more difficult than the others, but we were all glad to see him back.

This time, Gavin said nothing as he took the corpse and deposited it into his Inventory.

I knew it was my turn and based on the looks on both Britta and Cassie’s faces, they knew as well.

I wasn’t worried about Britta too much. She had sparred with us hundreds of times over the last four months and was really good with her shield.

Cassie, on the other hand, had not.

Zane saw the three of our faces. The first thing he did was give one of his daggers to Cassie.

“Take this. You need some way to protect yourself.” He wiped off the dagger and handed it to Cassie.

Cassie was a bit startled, but took it without any objections.

Then, Zane came and stood in front of me.

“Terrence.” He grabbed my shoulders and made sure I was looking at him directly. “You may not believe in yourself, but the rest of us couldn’t have done any of this without you. Don’t let yourself get distracted in there. You can do this.”

“What about us, no pep talk?” Britta joked.

“You’ll be fine. Just stick the big thing in front of these two and keep them safe.” Zane grinned at her, and then stepped aside to stand by Jen.

We exchanged some final hugs and walked towards the ring.

I knew Zane was trying to be nice, but I appreciated his words of encouragement. Despite everything going on, I knew I would at least have my friends to back me up.

“Okay, Britta and I will be up front. You act as Utility, Cassie. Try to help us out if it does something weird, but only attack if things look bad. Britta, let us know how hard it hits so we know if we can handle it or not. I’m expecting it to hit much harder and much faster than the G-Rank, so try not to take it head-on.”

Once inside, Britta took a position at the front. I stood slightly behind her and Cassie stood at the back.

I looked at the Monkin as we prepared for the vines to come off. In another situation, I might have considered running in and trying to overwhelm the Monkin with numbers, but I worried that this might be too risky.

My plan, instead, was to have Britta draw the attention of the monster as I tried to attack from the side. Cassie would be our backup.

We had worked on our formations in Dungeoneering enough times that we all had a good idea of what we should be doing.

First and foremost, we needed to keep track of the Monkin at all times. This would be Cassie’s primary role, as the person with the best vantage point. Secondary to that, we needed to gauge the Monkin’s strength. We needed to know if we could take a hit or two without being taken out of the fight altogether.
