I stood at the water, just back from where the waves touched, and racked my mind. What could I do to keep this hoard of monsters from just running over this entire village?

Going into the water was an absolute no-go now, but the path was far too broad, even on the beach. I was going to have to figure it out quickly, but I wasn’t really sure what I could do.

I hadn’t even thought about summoning them! While I could only tap into certain parts right now, the other three could use their elemental powers to help.

Thanks, Hero! That was a great suggestion; I have to remember to ask you when I get stuck.

Don’t get your panties in a knot; I am slowly getting it.

I ignored Hero, and closed my eyes, and then found Windorf, Grogvel, and Wataluga. I would keep Fireden with me, and I could use him to gather energy from the monsters as I killed them.

I Found each of the four Primals within me and then changed Pacts. After Fireden’s Fire Force Pact was set in place, I summoned the other three Primal Elementals.

Water, Earth, and Wind Elemental energy poured from my Primal Totem marks in blue, brown, and white streams out of me to form my partners. Both Grogvel and Wataluga started to stretch, but Windorf rounded on me, and I rolled my eyes.

"Why is it only now that you think to summon us?! We could have helped you when you were in the water! Use your head! If you die, then we will go with you, and then who will look after my daughter?!" Windorf shouted at me, blowing hot air in my face.

Part of me wanted to tell him that his daughter was not a child anymore, but I understand what he meant. I really did need to start looking at the bigger picture and using the help I was given.

"Save you wind bagging for later; right now, we have bigger fish to fry. The kid has a lot going on, and we need to do something about the wall of monsters waiting there. I will create a choke, and Windorf will stab them from the sides. Wataluga, you will have to whip them into a freezy, so they don’t stop coming. You will also need to create a barrier to make it hard for them to see in. nothing tough, and I will collect the dead that Windorf kills and spit them somewhere out of sight," Grovel explained, surprising me, but I wasn’t too sure about wiping them into a frenzy.

"Are you sure about making the mindless creatures angrier?" I asked, and Grogvel nodded, causing some small rocks to fall off his face.

"Yes, and it will be a hard fight, but those things out there are not mindless, and they are not fully controlled. We don’t want only half of them to come and attack, or the other half will just wait until we leave. These are demon Mutalisks, and they are ruled by the Sea Demon King, Gyro, a Rank D Demon, and not to be messed with. There is good and bad to this, though," Grogvel said but then sunk into the ground.

I was still finding it hard to believe that Grogvel was the one ordering everyone around, but he made some solid points. I had to hope that his plan was going to work, but what did I do to this Gyro guy, and why am I getting hungry thinking about his name?!

I held no regrets about not taking the first system, and I had planned to go all out from the start, but Hero’s last words got to me, and I closed my eyes. As I did, the world started to shake, grind, and rumble around me, but I focused.

I centered my thoughts like I would before any fight, given a chance, and then rolled my shoulders. I tipped my head from side to side and then opened and closed my hands.

I could feel the muscles in my arms like cords, and I could feel them differently than I had before. The control of my body and muscle was greatly improved now, but I would need so much more to leave this island.

The shaking stopped, and I opened my eyes to a long corridor and Grovel’s face in front of me on my right. The path’s walls must have been at least twenty feet tall, and after a quick glance behind me, I estimated that it was about fifty feet long.

"As I was saying before, the good news is that Gyro can’t come ashore. The bad news is that his three hundred and fifty-odd Rank two F demon Mutalisks can," Grogvel informed, and I grinned.

Looks like I was getting a new class if I survived.
