All hands on deck

"You took longer than usual this time, was there a problem?"

"Nahh...I just took two skills instead of one."

"You can do that?"

"Yep."

Evan replied as he pulled up the description of one of the skills and made it visible for Eliza to see.

"How does this work?"

He was about to explain, when he sensed multiple incoming presences, a distorted smile appearing on his face as he replied.

"You're about to find out."

Turning around, he placed his hands on the two wolf corpses and tossed them into his inventory, just in time to look up and see a group of rift mages floating toward the party's direction.

"KUEE!!"

"KEE!"

"KUUUU!!"

While screaming incomprehensible things, the rift mages waved their staves in the air, activating a plethora of elemental magic as bolts of flames, ice, water and lightning came flying toward the trio.

"All hands on deck this time."

Evan spoke as he pulled out his sword and charged towards the incoming magic, with Eliza and Pride trailing behind him.
