41: The Soul Flower: Getting Ready for the Heist

The vermin were able to clear the skeletons, for the time being.

"We need to tackle this with smarts otherwise we'll just end up in one of those tombs." Liran suggested.

"There's the guardian to deal with and the flower. We could tackle this in two teams?" Clover suggested.

Aiden nodded. "Maybe Liran-sai and I can handle the flower with a couple of the ratiss."

"Pfft, you won't get job done without us. So Chen and I will be with you." Xiao volunteered himself and Chen, which stirred a protest from Rat.

"Rat, your blood code magic can reflect attacks, do you think you could take out the Air Guardian?" Liran asked with a ditsy smile.

Rat sighed. "Fine, I'll work with Annoying Imp to tackle this threat."

Annoying Imp tapped his back and nodded. Rat climbed onto his shoulder.

"I wanna tackle the monster guardian. Busting a few skull heads sounds like fun." Bosnia crunched her knuckles.

Clover sighed. "Guess it's sorted. Bosnia and I will help Rat and Annoying Imp tackle the guardian."

"Wei, you go with them. You know the black tomb codes. They'll need ratiss touch to make sure what is dead stays dead." Xiao's eyes narrowed with his smirk, which had Liran and her friends on high suspicion.

"Wait, didn't you say earlier we could just whack them off their spots?" Aiden frowned.

Xiao chuckled. "Ah, might have slipped my mind."

Rat was feeling heated.

But, while a job needed to be done, they had no time to doubt their allies for now.

"Okay." Liran readied her lute for battle. "We all have our tasks."

"Let's do this!" Bosnia licked her lips as she unsheathed her daggers.
