Chapter 39: Do You Want To Dance?
Leon recognized the monster clearly as the Tier 2 Flamebound Knight from the Second Sector. It usually lived in squads and worked under their superior, who was the mini-boss of the dungeon.
With the women of their team out of commission, there was no one who stood a chance against this flaming monster.
Even if Leon was also Tier 2, he had only recently advanced. He couldn’t win against such a foe, especially if it came out with its group.
But for the first time, Leon felt his luck was good since the Flamebound Knight came alone. Soon, he regretted his thoughts as the black-armored knight shifted its attention towards the hiding location of Denver and the others.
’I am not letting you kill them, buddy,’ Leon thought as he ignored the Burning Skeletons and ran towards the wall to meet Denver.
Soon, he arrived there and glanced at the Flamebound Knight, who was taking its time walking towards them.
He quickly found Denver, who had put all the girls in a collapsed wall that hid them perfectly and also protected them from three sides. It was small, but a smaller area also meant he could protect them better.
Leon stopped there and almost dropped to his knees as the adrenaline was dying down. He panted and finally gave his body a few seconds of rest and air so it would function better later on.
Then, he took a deep breath and went towards Denver. He was still exhausted, but he would have to do with this much rest.
Denver was instantly alerted by the footsteps and turned around. He only relaxed when he saw it was Leon, but he was still keeping up his guard.
There were more monsters around them.
His gaze landed on his injured arm, and he clenched his fists in frustration. If only he was a little more powerful, then he would have been able to assist him better.
