This wasn't an easy win at all, and that made this worthy of pride for him. However he wasn't a decent man to begin with, so he even abandoned this honor, his honor, for just trying to keep his position untouched.
In your dreams bastard.
I didn't bother to look at those elders, as I waited for most of my spears being deflected by this shameless bastard before bringing them back with a snap. Then I sent them out again hunting him down.
This was the fate of any dirty handed person, to be hunted down alone in such a humiliated way. Such a mighty adventure group leader was destined to fall like a worthless stray dog, with no one out there to help him.
Aria managed to reach him after my fifth spear barrage, as she didn't hesitate to use her own offensive skills one after another.
Once she reached him, I stopped my spear attack to let her have all the credit. However, the level of the two was similar, so each strike only took a small part of Rick's HP.
