Chapter 142: Spectator Unfriendly

As he looked at the now dark city waiting for something to happen, Lake noticed there was a difference between this situation and what he had seen while in the forest. There had been a wall made from Unholy magic that kept people from coming in and out of the forest and as far as he could tell there wasn't this time.

Less than a second Later there was a huge rumble that sounded like thunder and while he didn't know what had caused it he could assume it meant the fight had started even if he couldn't see it. Silently cursing the giant for blocking his view Lake wished the Temple would hurry up and dispel the dark mist.

This was going to be the most boring thing he had ever sat through if it was going to be like this all night. After about another minute of random loud noises Lake finally saw something pierce out of the dark mist. It was a person wearing white armor and they had a small cloud of golden mana and as they flew up and away from the dark mist Lake saw the golden mana start to form a shape.

Lake knew enough about magic to know this was them forming a formation and he assumed it would be used to clear the black mist. It seemed the giant wasn't just going to let it happen though because almost as soon as Lake had seen the Holy mage rise out of the mist he had also seen a massive hand that was clearly going after the mage.

After the Mage had made it far enough away from the ground where the giant would no longer be able to grab them, Lake saw rust colored bolts start to fire from the hand towards the mage. The mage easily dodged around all the spells and after a few seconds of this Lake saw the Holy mage hold up the now complete formation.

After the mage released the formation upwards Lake had to cover his eyes because it was like the sun itself was now hovering in the middle of the city. It was so bright Lake could still see it with his eyes closed so he used his hands to cover them even further before crouching down behind the railing of the balcony.

"Damn, Millie, are you ok?" Lake had his potions with him like always so he was going to offer her some if her eyes had been singed like his had. "No." Lake nodded and used one of his hands to reach back and get his potion. Pulling the cork Lake took a swig and handed the rest to her after he found her hand.

...

Tiff hadn't been looking back every few moments and had been focusing on the mission she had given herself but a massive golden flash was enough to make the scouts she was following stop and look back, so she had an opportunity to stop and check to see if they had just destroyed the darkness spell the giant had used.

They were already pretty far and the fields they were currently running through was making it kind of hard to see the city so she couldn't tell if they had or not but that didn't really factor in when it seemed the battle had moved to the sky.

Watching the giant use what seemed to be a really sophisticated method of flying that wasn't Wind magic to chase after one of the other members of the 23 Tiff nodded. They had all been taught to lead the fight away from any populated areas to minimize losses so it seemed they had the fight under control enough that they were sticking to their training.

Once the giant was far enough away that would be when Dawn, who was an archer, would help whoever had been chosen to go up into the sky most likely one of the three swords kill the giant. If the fight went according to the plan they would only need two of them to finish off this lone giant without suffering any huge damage to the city of their forces.

Tiff was relieved everything was going well and went to follow after the scouts that had started to move again when she saw something terrible. Out of nowhere six more giants had appeared and were now surrounding the golden light that represented her friend. Before they could retreat Tiff saw one of the giants rush in and while she couldn't tell what kind of attack had been used or if it had landed she saw the golden light was now missing.

Tiff was about to lose her mind when she saw a giant golden wave radiate outwards from where the initial clash had happened and she calmed down. This was a pretty good sign that they were still alive even if she couldn't see them. Holy magic was extremely hard to use because the Holy goddess was dead at the moment so it wasn't something you could really do if you were on the verge of dying because you needed extreme focus even if you were holding one of the blessed weapons.

Hearing the other scouts start to move again Tiff gave up on whatever she had hoped to do in following them and just kept her eyes on the sky. Tonight's battle had just turned from slightly dangerous to there being a good chance some of the 23 were going to die. She needed to get back to the city and try to get Jon's attention.

She was sure he would be watching the fight and even though she could no longer track him because the thieves had taken the tracker back when they had kidnaped her she was sure if she was able to get his attention he would give her back the dagger and maybe even help her. He had done it once already after all.
