A small gift (3)

"You've got to be kidding me!!!" Jihoon shouted in frustration as he covered up the third barrier. His tails relentlessly attacked the core barrier. 

Tanaka's eyes sparkled.

Once the third barrier completely broke down and Jihoon covered up the barrier battle, he put Dante on standby. The third zone was larger compared to the first and second. It has nothing but an empty slot to the end of the fourth barrier. It looked easy and calm but this was kind of calm before the storm. 

He used his eyes to study the surrounding and there's where he saw the same dark energy he saw it before. 

"Good grief." His smiley face faltered. 

"I can smell the dark aura." Tanaka smelled the air, putting his nose above.

"Trolls." Dante gulped. 

"I don't expect this." Jihoon frowned, his mouth slanted. 

"This is the unexpected variable." Dante understood Jihoon's intention. Jihoon rested him from the fight to support Tanaka and the knights.
