22. Strengths and Weaknesses

Willy wondered why he simply followed Salvos as she embarked on these ridiculous adventures. He had just barely met her about two months ago in the Bloodied Gulf. She piqued his interest. Reminded him of his master. But maybe that wasn’t just it. Maybe it was because he thought— hoped— that things would be different.

Nynen died, and so could anyone. So could Salvos. The [Hellabomination] swatted the silver-haired girl out of the air, crushing her against the ground. Rainbow-colored flames burned and were snuffed out under the giant claws. The [Will O’ Wisp] flinched as the ground shook.

Gold and silver flames instantly rained down on the wild Primeval Demon as it drew its clawed hand back. All the remaining Salvos clones stopped what they were doing. They zipped straight for the [Hellabomination], flying around it recklessly as Willy rushed to the real Salvos’ side.

She lay buried in rubble at the very bottom of a crater. Salvos was still alive. Bleeding, and in bad shape, but alive.

Orgaf shouted something, leaping back into the fray as Willy hurriedly transported Salvos back and began healing her with his green flames. In the background, the [Hellabomination] roared, unleashing another pillar of blue flames.

“What… is that?”

Edithe Dawnrise stared as the night sky was lit up by a brilliant blue light. In the distance, a hulking creature rose from the ground, gripped by shadows. Daniel Song spoke to her side as they flew closer.

“I don’t know. But we’re about to find out.”

The Salvos clone carrying them sped up, soaring over the canyon and towards the destroyed city. She moved in a panic. Edithe could tell— something happened a few moments ago that changed her demeanor. A flock of winged Demons intercepted them, but the redhead blasted them apart with her magic as they drew closer and closer.

The monster in the distance— the enormous Demon— spread its wings wide as it tried to break free from the dark tendrils holding it down. It ripped off one, burning another. A pair of Salvos clones crashed into its back, exploding into a brilliant blast.

But that only knocked it back. Some of its skin was burned. Blood was drawn. However, it continued its ascent. Edithe scanned the battlefield, watching Orgaf unleash a whirlwind of blades at the Demon. But she was searching for something else. Someone.

“Salvos!”

She cried out when she spotted the figure lying bloodied by some rubble. Salvos. The silver-haired girl wasn’t in her Human form, but Edithe barely even noticed that. Instead, the redhead saw how Salvos’ wings were torn and tattered. How her arms bent in the wrong direction— how her spine itself was twisted.

It was bad. Very bad. And Salvos wasn’t even responding. Willy floated next to her, wreathing her in green flames.

“What happened? Is she alright?”

Edithe and Daniel quickly landed with the Salvos clone carrying them. The [Will O’ Wisp] answered while still focused on his healing.

“Hurt. Need help.”

“I have healing potions. They should—”

Daniel produced a vial, but Willy rejected it.

“No.”

A nearby [Hellwolf] leapt for the stationary Humans, but Edithe blasted it back.
