D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad Chapter 2124 A Bit of Greenery

Green ---

Green stepped out into the sunlight, massive grin on her face. "Freedom!" she whispered with as much intensity as she could manage. While screaming at the top of her lungs was the goal... Green recognised that giving away her position like that was a bad idea. Hunger might also be getting to her a bit. Her food had run out yesterday and while sleeping helped reduce needed calorie intake, and her own Rank 2 body offset it a bit more... that didn’t mean her stomach was happy with her.

Green shook her head and sighed knowing she couldn’t take THAT much credit for the win. The truth of the matter was that her adventures up here in the abandoned city had given her so many resources. Few of them food, but obviously she didn’t trade away any of the best stuff for it. Just the ones that seemed quite strong but had some less then obvious limitations. Ash had decided to take a bunch of the enchanted grenades for example, especially the blinding ones...

And Green had a set of fancy armour that blocked the flash. Green chuckled as she remembered Ash dropping the enchanted bomb and jumping backwards, expecting her to be blinded. Getting shot in the chest as Green’s retaliation nearly took Ash out immediately. Only the fact she twisted out of the way somewhat lessened the blow, and it was still crippling. A short chase around the area afterwards and Ash was finished.

Green was going to continue to ponder her thoughts. It was something she’d gotten good at after being trapped in that pocket dimension... but instead the sound of something exploding reached her ears, and now that she was paying attention... quite a lot of barking.

Green decided pretty quickly to investigate. Monster meat wasn’t the best food source... and some of it was just straight up toxic to fae like herself... but she WAS pretty hungry and Thyme would be able to heal her up if things went bad. So after double checking her weapons and whispering some basic instructions to Timmy, Green leapt into the air and started to make her way across the nearby rooftops towards the noise, making sure to keep herself to the shadowed areas. She didn’t want to be attacked on the way after all.

Notably though... despite the noise she couldn’t see any of the monster birds that attacked her before flying around. Not even around the area the sound was coming from, something she KNEW would draw them in. It’s what happened before after all. Still, the sounds got clearer as she got closer and it seemed like a fight was going on, just not with the birds.

Green eventually stopped a street over from the fight, right at the edge of it so that she could glance down into the neighbouring street. The house she’d chosen to rest on was high enough to see what was going on, and she found out what caused the lack of birds. Two people and Two Dogs... or perhaps three dogs? *

Regardless of that little detail, there were four bodies fighting a number of monsters. Long and his ’dog’ Bonesworth alongside Shoal and her wolf Surge. Littered around them were the corpses of the bird monsters, quite a few of them. There was also golems of some sort that apparently they’d triggered and they were having a much harder time taking them down.

There was three of them, and the familiars seemed to be keeping one busy as best they could. Neither seemed to be able to damage them, and based on the burn marks on the golem’s body, they’d tried some more extreme measures that failed. For the most part, it seemed that the golem would attack whoever hurt it last and the two canines were simply attacking it lightly one after the other, usually biting at its feet and then backing off while it was turning around.

Shoal had her own golem... and wasn’t doing much comparatively. It seemed they weren’t that smart, or too fast. Shoal was simply leading it around in a circle doing her best to keep it occupied. She wasn’t even trying to attack it anymore, or at least, she didn’t attack it even once while Green was watching. Perhaps her weapon couldn’t stand up to the damage? Regardless, she was simply circling around the area and trying not to interfere with the other fights.

Which honestly made it pretty funny to watch. All of the golems were boxy metal things that shined slightly purple under the afternoon sun that was already mostly set. The metal seemed completely fine, but the logic behind its movements were awful. The golem would run after her, at about twice the speed Shoal was moving. Then it would try to attack her using one of a few very obvious presets. A closed fist slam from above, a double hand clap directly in front of it. A stomp that seemed more about destroying nearby terrain or finally a quick slap.

The problem was that before every attack the golem would stop in place, plant its feet obviously and THEN unleash the attack. Simply watching it a bit let you know what attack it was about to perform and it didn’t matter that it could move faster when it would completely stop to do so. Even still, Shoal’s armour looked like it had taken a few hits so she probably took some time to learn the attack pattern.

Long Crackfist on the other hand, seemed to be the only one actually trying to take the golem down. His great sword was chipped but Green could see it visually mending itself as the fight continued. Long would use it to strike at the golem in an attempt to damage it somehow, then chip the weapon slightly, wait for it to repair, and then strike again. The longer Green watched, the more attempts at destruction Long made. He was strike at weak points and finding no success... but didn’t seem to be giving up.
