'Dammit! These girls don't ever listen to me!'
Dorian opened his eyes, the monster's hand still clamped around his neck and pulling him deeper into the darkness.
Thanks to his Supervision skill, the darkness was not something he needed to worry about. He could see it all.
All around him were crawlers, rushing forward through the narrow tunnel like wild beasts hungry to kill.
Not a single one laid a finger on him. Their target was the woman racing towards Dorian at the moment.
Maria.
Seeing this, Dorian knew he needed to act fast.
Suddenly, he grabbed the monster's hand and conjured his flame magic. It started as a small spark, but then it spread, completely igniting the monster's flesh.
KKKAKK!
A scream echoed from the darkness before the monster's grasp loosened, and Dorian was free from its hold.
As soon as this happened, all the monsters who were once charging forward stopped and turned to look at Dorian.
Their green eyes intensifying.
