He did not know what to do. For just a split second Dante simply stood there as he stared blankly. Then, he tapped the pendant and picked up the call. But what was he thinking? He was in the middle of a battle!
But, he knew one thing was for certain. He was not going to ghost Laina any longer than he had already done. Dante looked up at the colossal beast, it was taller than the tallest tree in the surrounding forest.
A colossal water salamander was a rare sight. Realizing he had not said a word nor did Laina, Dante panicked.
"Laina, are you there?" he called out.
A moment of silence.
"Dante? Dante, you picked up!" She sounded extremely excited.
Dante grinned, he could already picture how she looked at that moment, probably squealing to Margaret. But he had made a grave mistake. He had taken his eyes off the colossal water salamander.
