Chapter 311

"That would have been too easy," John said, having been unable to use Observe on that new elemental. The fight had been a lot closer than he anticipated, solely because Lydia's prediction about Maximillian's arrogance had become true.

Still, Lydia had pulled out her surprise, and Maximilian had hidden his own. "We should go and pick her up," Rave added, realizing that the fight was over but Lydia actually wasn't moving. The platform to allow her to get back up had materialized, but John could easily guess that the princess either had exhausted herself to the point of being unable to move or had followed in the recent trend set by Rave and knocked herself out in the process.

"I'll go get her," Momo said and flew off. It would have probably been quicker to send Thana down there, but the blood mage would make it an insanely bumpy ride. Interestingly, the wounded Maximillian didn't immediately limp towards his own lift nor the Apothecaries coming to take care of him.
