Chapter 88 - Chapter 88: A Fool, A Sage, and A Lurker

Up on the cliff, Alizandria mentions,

"Areas 1, 2, and 3 seem to be doing fine with support of Alvard, Rigurd, and Gremly. Area 5 also seems to be handling the situation, however, Area 4 is not in an ideal state. If you see fit, shall I go and assist?"

Freidrich thinks about it for a moment before answering,

"That would be quite helpful. I can also provide support from here."

Walking towards the edge of the cliff, Alizandria replies,

"I appreciate it. Well then, I will be going now."

Freidrich sends her off, saying,

"Take care."

Alizandria faces the battlefield chanting,

"Fly! Steed of the Sky, Bellerophon!"

A pegasus made of cloud forms at her side as she climbs atop it. Bellerophon flaps its wings, taking off and soaring through the sky.

Arriving in the sky above the 4th Area, Alizandria glances downward and sees a beast laying waste to the landscape.

The monster stands around 30ft (9m) tall, wearing a tattered, mahogany robe. In one hand, it holds a long staff forged from bone. Inscribed across the entire tool are patterns that speak of a monstrous legend.

Looking upward, Alizandria catches a glimpse of its face. The monster has a wicked glare as its grizzled, green skin can be seen under its hood. It has a large underbite, displaying its large lower teeth.

Above its head, a red title reads,

[Glomp the Towering Fool]

Glomp opens its mouth, exclaiming,

"Sky bug... Glomp no like..."

Glomp suddenly swipes his free hand at Alizandria as she quickly dodges to the side. Following it up, Glomp points his staff at Alizandria and grumbles,

"Tall Hit..."

From the ground, multiple rectangle-shaped pillars sprout out and grow towards Alizandria and Bellerophon.

Acting fast, Alizandria swerves from side to side, avoiding each tower of rock. Strapped to her back, Alizandria grabs her large bazooka. Hoisting it over her shoulder and aiming at Glomp, she chants,

"Puff Recoil."

A disc shoots out, flying towards Glomp.

Seeing the projectile, he sends a pillar of rock towards it. Colliding with the disc of cloud, it begins to darken and sparks fly off of it. Finally, it explodes as strings of rain and lightning shoot and surround Glomp like a strong thunderstorm.

As the water and electricity clear, it reveals a wall of dirt that crumbles, revealing an unharmed Glomp. He roars shaking the earth.

Quickly, Alizandria descends to the ground and instructs,

"I will handle the [Warlock]! Continue thinning the weaker monster forces!"

The Royal Army on the ground replies,

"Yes ma'am!"

Flying back up to confront Glomp, she gets swiped to the side by one of his giant hands. Glomp growls,

"Rock!"

As Alizandria is still recovering, a shower of sharp rocks comes down above her.

She tries her best to bob and weave in between the stones, but some still manage to wound her as Bellerophon neighs distraughtly. She mumbles,

"It looks like I underestimated the [Warlock]."

Suddenly, Bellerophon disappears as a [Goblin] from the ground was thrown by Glomp through the pegasus.

Alizandria begins falling as she points her bazooka towards the ground, shouting,

"Condensing Transportation!"

A wide piece of cloud appears below her, cushioning her fall. She stands upon it and mutters,

"Silver Valkyrie Armor!"

Starting from her legs, a set of bright, white-colored armor forms around her. Using one of the stone pillars, she runs upwards to get a better vantage point.

Aiming her firearm at Glomp, Glomp counterattacks by positioning his staff towards her and grumbling,

"Dirt..."

The tower of rock starts to crumble into fine soil.

Just before her foundation breaks apart, she jumps off as the cloud, she readied earlier, catches her. Glomp shouts,

"Long Rock!"

Without warning, a sharp crystal-like rock flies towards her, piercing through her side and leaving a deep gash.

She screams and thinks,

"It went through the Valkyrie Armor!?"

She coughs blood, dying the cloud red as Glomp taunts,

"Haha! Glomp strong! Girl not!"

Alizandria holds her hand over her injury as she mutters,

"At this rate, I'm going to need to use that."

Finally, outside of the 5th District, two new monsters have joined the fray.

One is a small old, green monster with a long nose who wears very decorated garments, fit for a ritual. It holds a cane in its grasp, leaning on it for support. Above its head, a red name reads,

[Krivol the Cunning Sage]

The other is a purple, eight-legged, eight-eyed monster resembling a spider. It wears some sort of white lab coat and a witch's hat atop its head. Above its head, a red name reads,

[Rechsis the Lurker]

Coincidentally, it lands right in front of Lily and Lazaro.

Assessing the situation, Lily commands,

"Me and this guy will take care of these two!"

The other soldiers reply,

"Sounds good!"

And,

"We're counting on you!"

Lazaro retorts,

"I'm surprised they actually listened to you!"

Lily responds,

"I g-guess I just have a very commanding presence..."

Lazaro suggests,

"I'll take care of the Krivol guy! I'm not a fan of fighting old people or women, but it doesn't seem like I have a choice!"

Lily nods. Hearing them talk, Krivol calls out,

"Don't worry, boy! You won't need to hold back against this old man!"

Scampering forward, Rechsis stutters,

"P-Please take it easy on me..!"

Listening closely, Lily and Lazaro both get into battle-ready poses.
