As I opened my eyes, curiousity filled my brain. Am I... being dragged somewhere? Bubbles were floating everywhere and my skin is being torn apart by... fire? I don't know. As I tried to turn around, I saw Rize's face. So she's here. It seems that me and Neco are being dragged by the two of them.
The manticore is mouthing out words but it seems that I can't hear it. He jumped!? Damn it!
I'm trying to gather mana through my fingertips to at least knock it away but I can't talk at all. Damn it... Work! WORK! PLEASE! WORK! But nothing. Nothing came out of my fingertips. I could only spectate as I see all of us die at the same time.
"G...al P..h!" I faintly heard a voice and the manticore was knocked back to the temple. The whole structure crumbled on him. Even though I'm pretty angry that I lost and the temple destroyed, I have to be grateful that I'm lucky and that I'm still alive somehow.
