"Thank you." Tim said as he panted a bit. I guess it was true that their physical abilities, although better than a normal persons, was not as good as ours.
"No problem." I shrugged
"Are you guys alright?" Synthia asked as she landed on the ground.
"Yeah we're fine, lady Synthia." Roxy replied
"Good, now we just need to find Claire and Kirt." Synthia said and the other two groaned. Synthia and I flew through the skies while the other two ran on the ground, using [Aura Vision], it didn't take long for us to find them. We first managed to locate Kirt who was fighting a Greater imp along with a small entourage of priests. They seem to have been fighting for a while as Kirt had more than a few claw marks on his chest while the priests looked utterly exhausted. More noticeably are the few charred corpses on the ground.
"You guys go and help in and I'll go and help Claire." I said and flew towards where I sensed Claire. She seemed to be engaged in battle with a Greater imp....and losing badly. I could sense her aura getting weaker and weaker by the second and if I don't hurry she was going to die. I arrived arrived to witness a Greater imp walking towards a severely wounded Claire.
"Hey, big guy." I shouted as I free falled from the sky. As I was falling, I activated [Demons Pride] wrapping myself in my aura and boosting my strength. The imp looked up at me as I fell from the sky, smirked and sent a giant fireball at me. I channelled all my aura into my blade and launched it with all my might towards the giant fireball.
*Boom*
The fireball exploded as the blade pierced through it and continued on it's path. I continued falling through the flames and landed on the ground to see my sword lodged in the ground and the imp a distance away with cold sweat dripping down his face. I calmly walked forward and pulled the sword out of the ground.
"Time for you to die." I said coldly and kicked off the ground towards the imp. He charged forward as well and punched forward with his flaming fist and I conjured a shadow wall, successfully blocking his fist. I then made the shadow wall wrap around his hand and reacting instantly he punched forward with his other hand and I met his flaming fist with a kick.
'Ouch.' I winced as my leg was burnt but I shrugged it off and spun around. I slashed my sword at his free hand removing it from his body. He screamed in pain as blood spurted from where his hand was detached but I didn't care, I stabbed my sword forward into his throat, silencing him forever.
[You have slain a level 4 Greater imp. You have gained 2460 exp.]
"You alright." I asked as I turned towards Claire, but instead of answering she just collapsed onto the ground. I ran over to her and picked her up, I could still hear her heart beat but only faintly.
"Ta-ke...me to lady Syn..thia." She mumbled slowly and I nodded my head. I picked her up in my arms, leaving her holy weapon behind of course, and quickly flew back to where Synthia was.
"Synthia!!" I shouted when I arrived. The Greater imp that was fighting Kirt and his group of priests were fighting was nowhere to be seen but it seemed he went out with a bang....quite literally. There was a small, charred crater on the field and I could see a few people on the ground writhing in pain as they held a charred body part.
