Chapter 54: CH.54 Backup always arrives Late

I make my way over to Alice and Mana. This was, I think, her first time in real combat. That taken into account, she did so well. Probably better than me, anyway. I was just hiding in the back. Someone else would say that is the summoner's job, but Alice had an active summon and she was fighting next to it. Actually Lucia was as well.

“Alice,” I called out to her. “How are you feeling?”

“...Tired.” Makes sense. She did cast multiple spells in quick succession. And all the other stuff before. 

“Well, at least you seem unharmed.” I told her.

“Yes, Mana was protecting me.” She answered.

“I kept your girlfriend safe, Master. Praise me.” Mana said to me as she came next to me. Do you want headpats or something?

“I’m not… “ Alice began to say.

“She is not my girlfriend, you know.” I told Mana. “Also, why do you call me ‘Master’ even if I didn’t summon you?”

“Master is always Master. Master made us. Without Master, we couldn’t be here.” She answered. So the monsters are loyal to me even if I’m not the one that summons them. That’s nice. I think that should mean they will never attack me, even if ordered by their summoner. I won’t have to be scared even if I give a stronger monster to Brandon.

“Could you give me the Red Medicine I gave you earlier?” I requested from Alice. “Some of the guards have injuries and I’d like to heal them.”

“Sure.” Alice responded and took out the Red Medicine card from her hoodie pocket. “Here you go.”

“Thanks. Try to relax a little. The battle is over.” I told Alice.

 

I make my way over to Zayaan.

“So, how many are injured?” I asked.

“Let me catch my breath for a second first.” He responded. 

“Are you expecting me to do everything then?” I shoot back.

“...ask Jack.”

“Jack was the greatsword guy, right?” I confirmed.

“Yes.”

 

He was also still standing. Most of the others had collapsed to the ground after the last wyvern went down. Actually, Lucia seems to be hard at work draining the blood of the wyverns already. She is a massive over achiever. Taking one down with Slot Machine and now doing clean up work.

“Hey Jack,” I began talking to him. “Do you know if there are any injured?” I asked him.

“Most are just minor scratches. The guards said one of them got stabbed by a tail, but I don’t see anyone with a wound like that.”

“Oh yeah, I pulled him out of the combat zone and used a potion on him.” I told Jack. “He is inside the golem carriage.”

“I see. Well that’s good. He had the worst injury. Because of the emergency we don't really have potions on hand.” Jack told me.

“I still have one.” I told him. “And Zayaan has one as well.”

“Could you give it to me?” He requested. 

“Sure I don’t mind.” I use the card I took back from Alice. “Red Medicine.”

The card disappeared and the potion bottle appeared.

“Here you go.” I said as I handed the bottle to Jack.

“That’s an interesting spell. I’ve never heard of a spell that stores items in cards.” He told me.

“Well, technically I’m not storing things inside them or anything.” I told him.

“Please, just stop. You are already mind breaking enough.” Jack stopped my storytelling.

“As you wish.” I responded. “If you need another potion, just ask Zayaan for his.”

“Will do.” Jack told me.

 

Okay, so injuries are taken care of, what now?

(You should go get the guard out of Overdrive. The summon limit is coming up soon.) Laura reminded me.

(Yeah, I’ll do that.) I responded to her as I made my way over to my APC. My APC? It feels strange to think that. I own an APC. And I have a dragon. Now I want to ride on Red-Eyes.

As I check over the guard in Overdrive, he seems … limp. Did he die? I check and his pulse is still there. 

(He is just paralyzed by the wyvern poison.) Laura told me. 

(My potion didn’t heal it?) I asked.

(Master’s potion heals wounds, but it can’t heal status conditions, such as paralysis.) Laura told me.

(What about a poison? Like a damaging poison?) I asked.

(It should heal the damage effect.) Laura responded.

So yes to poison damage, but no to paralysis. Well, I guess paralysis isn’t exactly a damage effect, so a HP potion might not heal it. I grabbed the guard and dragged him out of Overdrive. Then I unsummoned Overdrive. 

 

Now, what to do? I guess I could just take a ride on Red-Eyes while he is still summoned, but that might scare people in town. I guess I’ll just unsummon him for now. 

“Red-Eyes, you go back.” I said to no one. But it doesn’t really matter as the card appeared anyway and Red-Eyes flew into it. As it did, I felt a surge of power coming from my DiaDhank and flowing through my body. 

What was that? A weird power surge?

 

After that, the mission report popped up.
