Chapter 4: Treasure Storage

As three black shadows slowly infused into the body of the mysterious mage who was still desperately struggling, everyone finally caught their breath. The two Dark Knights were almost ready to sit down on the ground, their recent combined strike having nearly drained them of all their energy. The Puppet Mage, with a somewhat pale face, showed obvious signs of weariness, and the triple Dark Binding also took a toll on Rebry. Komer's "Heavenly Thunder Punishment," though considered high-grade Thunder Magic, was less draining compared to the others. At this point, the only one who seemed unaffected was the thin and dry mage Newman, who stared at everyone with a baffled look, not knowing why the battle had started. He had been fully focused on unlocking a secret door when hostilities broke out, and he didn't even know who had attacked whom first.
