With a wide smile appearing on my face, my voice box didn't let me speak because of the sheer pain I was under.
"Light… it's light…!" My voice was raspy and scratchy.
Looking at me with disbelief, Vertere shook his head.
"I don't know how to use light magic!" Vertere Shouted.
"You… must…"
Biting his lip, he sat down cross-legged.
"I'll do what I can, but hold on until then. Magic is very complex and theory-based, so I mustn't be disturbed."
Coughing out blood, I put my hand around my neck.
Standing up, I raised the Fire Hero's Sword.
There was a wave of shadows circling around us.
Lieur was using the shepherd's sling to wrap around the shadows' limbs and weapons, redirecting their aim elsewhere.
Kraken was also helping her, using its tentacles to steal the weapons of the shadows.
Struggling, I swung the sword at the shadows, my strength almost diminished.
I should use the scales to strengthen myself, but what if something happened where I would truly need it?
