A Strategy within a Strategy      

Their original plan had been to hold off Roz while swiftly defeating Ren and Isolde, but things hadn't gone according to plan. Killing Ren and Isolde was taking too much time, leaving them vulnerable.

Robert knew he couldn't hold out much longer against Roz and Lira. As a tank, he had his limits. All he could do was buy time.

Using every skill and spell at his disposal, he fought valiantly, defending against the two monsters. He expended his items and resources until the spell binding the monsters dissipated, reducing the ogre and maid to mere particles.

"Ha!" Robert panted. "Your monster are gone now, and your friends are going to be defeated soon enough!"

Roz merely looked at Robert before shifting his attention to Ren. The hybrid beast from before was gone. It must be Ren's pet, but Black Lion and Sleeping Dragon must have neutralized it.

"It's your loss!" Robert laughed. "You should have just accepted Scar's offer in the first place."
