Chapter 85: Cooperation
There was a lot of open space behind the Earthsea Orchid Inn. Without the cover of dark clouds, the stars in the sky were particularly bright.
Nemo could now regard what the position of “Commander of the Knights of Judgement” truly meant. Despite losing all his powers, Adrian Cross had immediately found a way to cope with it. Adrian drew a less complex magic array on a parchment paper and directly pasted all kinds of runes on it.
“Drawing a new spell from scratch? Not bad.” Ann casually picked up the parchment and drew on it. A tiny black ball fluttered out of the array and floated aimlessly in the air. “…But what the hell is this?”
“Their problem is not strength,” Adrian said without raising his head, and crossed out two more rune characters. “Those two lacks on-the-spot response and cooperation.”
“And how many balls are you going to make for them to play with?” Ann stretched out her finger and tried to poke the black ball that wasn’t much bigger than a grain of rice. It almost merged into the darkness, and it took her a long time to determine its location. As soon as she stretched out her fingertips, the small ball disappeared in place, appearing more than ten centimeters away. “Ah, I see. But this can’t beat Nemo.”

“…You’re really a bad man,” she murmured.
“I’m already very lenient with them.” Adrian stared at the two young men who seemed a little loss in front of him. “At least I didn’t add any offensive element. If they were my subordinates…”
