[Jean/Rosalie] Chapter 12: Rescue Operation

[pringerbeam]

     Jean stood his ground at the entrance to the alleyway and thrust his spear at the demon in front of  him.  He pumped his backhand, guiding the spear with his front hand, aiming one blow at the creature's heart and the other into it's gut.  Withdrawing his spear back he yelled to the remaining demons.  "Come on!  Who wants some more?"

Jean
You brutally slammed your spear into it's chest. The demon's heart exploded. A second later, you aimed your spear right into it's gut. The forceful impact was so strong, that it literally left a gaping hole in its stomach.

You have gained a new title『Brute Overkiller III』
You have gained +1 STR

The demons in the alleyway bellowed a response loudly.

"We will kill you! Smash you into pieces!" Their eyes were red shot, full of anger, blind to the fact that you yourself were standing on the piles of slain demons.

However, a moment after it had spoken, your three giant tentacles lashed out, killing it, and the demon following behind him.

You leveled up.
You have gained a new title『Their Own Mind』

Everyone
Above you the battle between your two small armies against the smaller demons continued. You noticed that there were a couple of dead birds and fallen wind priests instructors in the area. Though, there weren't any dragon knight trainees. At the same time however, there were more small demons that had fallen from the skies. The priests were flanking the creatures, taking down many of them, though, they too were falling fast. However, you could tell that both your groups were on the failing side.

The larger demons were cleared from the area. Though there were still fires burning through the village, and you couldn't help but notice the dead bodies of villagers strewn about. Past the river down south though, there were no fires, and you could clearly see the estate that must have been where Amie 's father lived.

     Jean looked with a smile at the splattered gore that was what remained of the demon that had tried to taunt back at him.  "Yeah I bet.  Pretty sure this makes it Jean 2:Demons 1."  He wiped some of the demonic blood from his brow and climbed on top of the pile of corpses before him to get a look around the ruined village.  "Ah!  Nothing like a dance on the knife's edge of death to make you feel alive eh Ren?"  He said as he jumped off the pile and trotted up to Ren.  Circling an arm around her hip, he swept her off her feet and onto his shoulder to spin around before letting her back down.  He kept her close, pulling her into a one armed hug with his hand on the small of her back.  Looking up to Dalina he called out.  "Come on down Dalina!  The battlefield's fine!"

[Throndir]

"Master..." Ren smiled warmly when you picked her up. The tentacle girl was covered in bruises, and some purple-colored blood dripped from her mouth. But if she was in pain, she wasn't showing it. "Let's kill more." She replied then, wrapping her tentacles around you as well.

Dalina from above, with Gust, landed. The girl looked absolutely out of it.

"I used up too much mana..." Dalina said. "I can't... can you... pinch me? I don't think I can keep... my eyes... open."

Valeriya on the other hand didn't seem so amused with the antics going on. She rushed towards Amie's fallen body, and placed a hand up to the seemingly unconscious girl's neck.

"No..." Valeriya grimaced. "Damn it kid. You shouldn't have come with us." Her eyes searched for her partner. Her words had a sense of finality. "She's dead."

"Rosalie, please tell me you can do something."

[pringerbeam]

     "If you say so..."  Said Jean to Dalina as he walked up to her and slipped his hand in quickly to pinch her on the rump.  Then he pulled her in by the hips and quickly kissed her on the lips.  "Enough to wake you up?"  he asked, keeping her in his other arm.  "Oh and something for you too Ren."  He said as he turned and went for a kiss with her as well.  He lingered for a moment and licked the blood from her lips, savoring its taste.  "I guess we could keep fighting but for now I think we should go and rescue those villagers."  He saw Valeria kneeling over Amie's corpse and called out to Rosalie.  "Yeah hey White Mage, don't suppose you could raise your companion there?  Be awfully awkward to walk into their house with nothing but a corpse.  Oh and while you're at it...  I have an apprentice and she could use a little touch of the ol' healing magics back on the mountain."  He said as caressed Ren's buttocks with his hand, enticed by its softness.  He whispered into Ren's ear.

"We need to make some plans.  For now keep the master's mention out of the public's eye.  We'll discuss this later... at... night..."

[close]

He then nibbled lightly on her ear before withdrawing and walking over to Valeria and Amie's body a companion in each arm.

Assuming that Dalina goes along with Jean continuing to hold her.  If not he'll let her go when she withdraws.  Figure Ren is down with whatever.

[Throndir]

Rosalie can make a Perception check to notice that. Jean can roll an opposed Stealth check, if not, it'll use the default whispering DC at 15.

Dalina's eyes fluttered open, and her cheeks were bright. She stared at you in shock, completely speechless. She decided to pull away in embarrassment.

"That's not what I meant by a pinch..." She mumbled to herself.

Once you started to head towards Valeriya, Dalina followed behind a few feet from you still blushing and looked downwards at the back of your feet.

Ren took it much better, and when you had kissed her, Ren decided to wrap her tentacles all around you at the same time. She didn't seem to mind your closeness either. "Master..." Ren whispered. "I'll discuss anything with you at night." She winked too.

Valeriya had noticed the behavior though, she only shook her head waiting for Rosalie's response as Jean and Ren, followed by Dalina behind them came.

Rosalie walked over to Amie's body. "I might be able to do something, but I'll have to make proper preparations first. I'll do everything I can..."[/color] She tried to bring forth a barrier of mana and whispered [color]"status"[/color]

Circles of magicka appeared around Rosalie, glowing with a gentle white light. She looked down in amazement, "Protect me, in case something goes wrong."

She knelt down next to Amie's body and began to cast a spell. "Divine Providence, have thy Shepard return the lost soul of Amie to the flock. She has wandered, but is not lost."

Rosalie is attempting to cast raise dead untrained with a mana bulwark prepared.

[Throndir]

It wasn't a technique that you personally had used before, or were skilled in it. But you did know about it from the newfound knowledge in your head. You summoned a Mana Bulwark, taking some time to correctly create the magicka circle in the air with your mind's eye. You hadn't mastered creating quick magicka circles either, so it took a bit of time to create the circles. However, soon enough you had created the proper symbols and had them surrounding you. It bathed you in a warm and gentle white light.

You have 6 unspent ability points.

You begun casting the spell. Due to your extreme amount of mana, you went ahead with a shorter caster of it, rather than attempting to cast it as a ritual which might have taken over a day of casting, perhaps even with multiple casters to cover the cost of a raising. In just 6 seconds you managed to do what a couple of average mages spending a day in a ritualistic casting would have accomplished. Even though you weren't aware of any magic in the real world, you somehow knew this to be true.

You felt the pull of mana leave your body, leaving you tired. You felt the casting near it's completion, but a moment later you lost concentration.

An localized explosion occurred then, centered around you. At that same time, your Mana Bulwark triggered, attempting to absorb the mana feedback damage. Lights and something that looks like streaks of electricity covered your body.

Mana Bulwark takes 256 damage, which equates to 1,280 MP damage.

As the crackling stopped. You felt drowsy. The Bulwark absorbed all the damage.
