150: Unexpected boss - part 2

"Damina, I am going to stop Beatrix for a second. You should take the others out and escape this cave.

"What the hell are you talking about. Hurry up and think of a way out. We can leave these losers here to die."

Damian sounded pissed as he tried to get Rita to leave. But the redhead did not bulge from her position in front of the group.

Rita was resolved to do what was asked of her. She quickly took out a defensive talisman and stopped the clumsy attack of the firebird.

She succeeded in fending off the damage but she was not able to stop her skin from getting burned by the attack fully. Her arm was red and bleeding where the phoenix's power had managed to gaze it.

"Don't be an idiot. Aurora would not want you to sacrifice your life for these people. Don't be stubborn and follow after me."

"I cannot. I need to complete the task given to me."
