"Get away from her!" David yelled as he shot at Abasi while rushing forward. Abasi used his giant axe as a shield to parry the shots.
"Halt!" Jeanny motioned for David to stop. She then said to David, "I will fight him. You go ahead and aid the others."
"What? Why? We will defeat him faster if we work together," David argued.
"I have a history with this one. There is no need to worry. I won't lose."
Abasi grunted when he heard Jeanny's statement.
Jeanny took out her companion badge and summoned Garuda. The eaglefolk warrior appeared next to her. She gave the eaglefolk the command to follow David.
David was unwilling to leave. He didn't want to part with Jeanny so soon after reuniting. He wanted to be here to protect her, but he saw the steely expression on her face. He decided to respect her wish.
"Be careful," David said.
