I didn't even bother with a smart, witty remark. I just had Vermillion Phoenix unleash his fury upon Lute Dragoon and his scorched wyvern. The harem main character succeeded in cleaving the flames in half, but his wyvern was incinerated, leaving nothing but ash. Gritting his teeth, he sliced the fiery torrent apart and lunged at me.
"As long as I take out the summoner, his Soul Beasts will go down with him!"
The wings materialized on his shoes once more and he flew into the air. I didn't eeven bother to defend myself – before Lute could reach within ten meters of me, he was discouraged by a ferocious jet of flame that had him hopping backward.
"Damn it!"
Cursing, Lute slammed the blunt end of his spear against the ground and reassessed his options. Realizing that his flight spell wouldn't work much, not when my Vermillion Phoenix could also fly, he retreated from the next embroiling storm of inferno.
