Chapter 31 - whos decide?

Suddenly, Hero Tina shouted loudly.

Everyone, take your positions!!

Use whatever you've got!!!

Rena, seeing that, immediately thought to herself.

Wow… this is very different from Hero Tina's usual behavior. Even though I've only just met her, she usually covers her mouth—either with her right or left hand when she speaks…

The moment Rena thought that, Tina's hands were full of spell chants—her left hand holding her staff, glowing, and in her right hand, some kind of wind-shaped magic?

Meanwhile, Hero Claire could only stare in awe at how Hero Tina was using her power.

The heroes from various kingdoms then reacted, starting from each kingdom's leader.

And now, the entire area was noisy with shouts of direction and motivation.

Let's show this dragon where we come from!

Let's make our kingdom proud!!!

Even if our kingdom is small, our strength is not!!!

Re-form pre-formation!!!!

Formation!!!

Instantly, everyone was ready. They all formed unique formations—far different from standard formations.

For example:

Mage marksmen, who normally form a line for focused attacks on a single point, from another kingdom instead formed a tight circle with a single central core, like a mage.

And there were also fighters and tanks from another kingdom standing side by side, circling around the target like a healer's formation.

Rena, watching all this, could only witness how unique it was. This time, she was truly seeing it—not just in books—how unique the formations from other kingdoms were.

Then Hero Tina loudly directed the Calderia group.

Now!!!

Mage group—smoke screen magic!!!

The mage group immediately chanted their spells, including Hero Tina, who also cast the magic in her right hand—which turned out to be smoke screen magic!

With that, the area was now filled with fog.

The dragon fell silent for a moment—the fog made its eyes sting slightly, distracting it for a moment.

Even so, the dragon's tail couldn't stay still; it swiped the ground several times, making the fog even thicker!!!

Then the Calderia mages cast enhancement magic on their group: the marksmen, healers, fighters, tanks, assassins.

Seeing that, the other heroes from other kingdoms understood the intent, and then they began directing with very noisy shouts.

Mages, give us vision magic!!

If we do this, the dragon will have trouble seeing!

Marksmen, healers, fighters, tanks, assassins—get ready!!

Rena watched and thought to herself.

Wow… outside the Lionia Kingdom, knights are still alive, huh…

Finally, the dragon rampaged and flapped its wings hard.

Swooshhh!!!!!!

But it was too late—the marksmen, healers, fighters, and assassins were already in position. And the problem of the dragon's wing flaps was easily handled with protective magic that shielded them all. But this time, it was more personal: everyone there had their own shield layered on their body, coated in a bright blue glow.

Quickly, the mages from various kingdoms chanted the same spell.

Binding chain magic!!!!

The dragon's legs were now bound!!!

Seeing that, the fighters and tanks immediately charged forward, attacking various parts of the dragon's body while shouting simultaneously, making the area rumble as heroes from various kingdoms now charged and shouted!!

Come on!!!

Forward!!!!

The healers also protected the assassins, who were now around the dragon's body aiming for vital points—similar to a marksman's task, but with different risks.

The dragon, now bound, became very enraged. This time, it didn't move much—instead, it was gathering fireball magic in its mouth, aiming its head upward with its mouth wide open.

Seeing the dragon beginning to gather fire magic in its mouth, all the heroes shouted enthusiastically.

Come on!!!!

Quickly!!!

Let's defeat it!!!

We can do it!!!

Ahhhhh!!!!!!

This time, the heroes truly gave it their all. There was no hesitation from any role—mages, fighters, and everyone else—all had one goal: they would not leave until the dragon was annihilated!!!

Meanwhile, Hero Tina, this time not casting any spells at all, had stepped back near the Calderia healers, still commanding the Calderia group. Suddenly, Hero Tina shouted loudly, this time not just for the Calderia group.

Everyone!!!!!!

When I count down from 3, everyone move away from the dragon!!!

Hearing that, the other heroes could only agree. Some nodded, some accepted without reacting, some gave a thumbs up. Whatever their reaction, everyone seemed to trust each other without any doubt at all.

Then one of the healers near Calderia spoke, her lips trembling slightly from the pressure but still smiling, her hair a little messy.

Wow… it seems everyone really trusts each other…

Hearing that, Hero Tina nodded.

That's right…

Let's do our best too!!!

Suddenly, Hero Tina stepped forward a few paces, and this time, with a voice so loud it made the dragon's roar seem far weaker.

3!!!!!!!!!

Hearing that, the other heroes became even more encouraged—some even shouted.

Come on!!!!

Defeat it!!!!!

Meanwhile, Hero Tina continued.

2!!!!!!!!!

Hearing that, the assassin heroes quickened their pace—not to run away, but to find vital points as quickly as possible. Same with the marksmen!!

Some assassins muttered to themselves, but all of them said the same thing.

I'm not an assassin if I fail my mission!!!

Likewise, the marksmen muttered to themselves, all saying the same thing.

I'm not a marksman if I can't shoot!!!

Suddenly, the marksmen and the assassins spoke simultaneously.

Found it!!!!!

Then quickly, they shot—

Swooshhh!!

The sounds of the shots varied—some sounded like a flying bee, some like a cat, some like an elephant shouting loudly.

Even so, their goal was the same: to find the vital points.

Alternating, assassins and marksmen found the same points with devastating impact.

Eyes,

Wing joints,

Lower neck.

Meanwhile, the fighters and tanks grew crazier—attacking and defending, all shouting wildly, both tanks and fighters.

I can't retreat!!!!

I have to break this leg!!!

I have to block this!!!

If not, I'm not a fighter!!!

If not, I'm not a tank!!!!

And it didn't stop there—various words were shouted as fighters attacked and tanks protected.

Whatever words were shouted, they all had the same goal: they would not retreat until it was finished!!!

This time, the fighters' attacks were truly fast—unlike someone holding a heavy weapon. Meanwhile, the tanks seemed no longer like human stone; even the dragon's leg, trying to stomp, was easily deflected!!!

Then both the tanks and fighters shouted loudly, as if they were no longer human.

Aaaaa!!!!!!

Surpass your limits!!!!!!!!

Suddenly, when Hero Tina saw everyone's spirit, she paused for a moment, her eyes sparkling.

Amazing…

Their spirit is truly relentless…

For a moment, Hero Tina hesitated. Her lips trembled, and overthinking began to surface in her mind.

What if saying 1 causes casualties?!

Will everyone definitely be safe???!!!

Should I say it?!!!

Then suddenly, Hero Tina closed her eyes, biting her lip.

Damn!!!!

I can't stop… I have to continue!!!

I can't ruin their trust!!

I must!!!

Continue with 1!!!!!

Suddenly, Hero Tina opened her eyes again, muttering softly.

Our goal as heroes from various kingdoms is only one!!?

To defeat the dragon!!!!

Then, loudly and firmly, Hero Tina, with high confidence, truly shouted.

1!!!!!

And this time, at the count of 1, everything involving everyone now depended on what they chose. And no one could judge others—only themselves would judge, and of course, decide.
