"But we already tried that!"

"If it fails, We'll do it again, and again until we succeed." Denki spoke firmly. "This is our only option."

"Mr. Denki." Bell looked at the two, he closed his eyes and nodded. Denki seeing this smiled and patted Bell on his shoulder.

"Good luck. I trust you, little rookie." Denki and Ryuu rushed towards the Goliath leaving Bell behind, along with the two are Helga and Asfi, who are already engaging the monster.

Bell watched clinching his fist, he hated this feeling, he hated how he couldn't help, he hated being weak.

He watched as the four fought the Goliath with everything they had, while he could only stay at the back.

As his frustration continued to build, so was the desire for strength, chimes of bells started to echo into the surrounding as a bright white light engulfed Bell's fist. His skill Argonaut was activating right at this moment. He refused to be weak, to be useless.

He took a step towards the black Goliath, his mana running wild as it enveloped his hand. The monster felt it, the magic that was forming inside Bell.

It looked at its direction, making Denki follow its gaze. Denki's eyes widened when he saw Bell moving closer towards the black Goliath. "IDIOT GET BACK!!!" he screamed but Bell ignored him.

The white haired adventurer raised his arm forward, a look of determination streaking from his eyes. He gritted his teeth as he felt his mana growing stronger and stronger.

The black Goliath also made its move, it's mouth glowed as a howl was forming, aimed at Bell.

But Bell was much faster, screaming on the top of his lungs, he chanted his spell, boosted by his skill. "FIREBOLT!!!"

A bright light flashed and covered everyone's vision as Bell released his magic, a large beam of fire raced towards the black Goliath as it exploded on impact. Shaking the very air with its force.

*BOOM!!!*

But as the smoke cleared, Bell's eyes widened, the black Goliath was still standing, a portion of its head was gone, obliterated by Bell's magic. But from the mouth below, it was still intact, it's mouth formed a smile which sent shiver down the advebturer's spine.

Its mouth glowed even brighter, as it released its largest howl of the day, straight towards Bell.

"BELL!!!" Denki screamed, he ran as fast as he can to reach the white haired adventurer, but it was too late. The monster already released its magic. "NOOO!!!"

*BOOM!!!*

The howl reached Bell, sending him flying in the air, his body twisting like a puppet that was cut off its string, ragdolled and lifeless, he crashed to the ground and bounced multiple times before Denki could reach and catch him.

Denki rolled to the ground as he held Bell tightly, he made sure that the white haired adventurer wouldn't sustain anymore damage as he used his body to shield him as best he can.

He grabbed his katana and stabbed it to the ground, stopping their momentum, he then moved quickly, placing Bell on the ground, as he check if he was still breathing.

"HEALER, POTION!!!" Denki screamed on top of his lungs, he wasn't knowledgable when it comes to performing medical assistance. 'If only I brought Katty.' He thought as he sense Helga, Asfi, and Ryuu coming his way as well. He looked at their direction, and with pleading eyes he spoke, his voice cracking. "H-help him..."

Asfi quickly moved, applying first aid towards Bell, she at least was knowledgeable and had brought medical supplies and a plethora of potions in case of such emergency.
