Baron grinned with the surge of power, scanning over the field. Only now did he norice the Chimeratic member launched back towards the rest of the crew, which he noted as most dangerous single combatant.

He knew all too when the potent boost from Lackland wouldn’t last forever, so they needed to strike now while the iron was hot. The large, one-legged blacksmith looking persona screamed ‘physical damage’ to Osamu, so he decided that if he wanted to draw attention in any meaningful way, magic was the way to go.

And even he likely would’ve been worn down by now without help.
