Dawn at the Wild Rift (Book IV)

Chapter 43

“Hey, shithead who fell in love my sister Lesley,” Harley calls out to Gusion. “Imma borrow Grock for a while and lift that Black Dragon to in midair when I give you the signal.”

Before Gusion could retort to the way the mage spoke to him, Harley and Grock already turn their backs on him. He could only click his tongue before turning his attention to the Black Dragon.

Meanwhile, Harley and Grock seems to be having a secret meeting about playing a really good prank.

“You want Grock to hit Black Dragon like a baseball?”

The genius mage nods in response, feeling satisfied now that the giant is able to understand what he just explained.

“What is your favorite toy?” he asks out of nowhere.

“Grock likes fluffy teddy bear.”

“Okay, okay. Later on, I will create the biggest teddy bear for you. But if you see it, then, hit the dragon with all your might. If you hit the teddy bear, then you will have it. So, you wanna play that?”

“Grock likes to play.”

Now that he already finishes orienting him, he lets him go back to his post and help the others. This time, Harley takes both Gusion and Angela away to tell them what to do as well.

“We are in the midst of war, what are you playing—”

Before the leader of the VENOM squad could even finish speaking, Harley pokes him on the side using his wand.

“Okay, so leadershit, I want you to keep the bottom lane in check. Sooner, I will be floating a huge teddy bear—don't ask why, just listen. If you see the teddy bear, I want you to make the Black Dragon go in midair. Make sure it is high enough for Grock to hit it with that huge tank of his. If possible, help Grock throwing that monster in the direction of the teddy bear. Got it?” Harley asks.

Gusion only nods, not wanting to speak with the rude mage.

“I'll be taking Angela with me so you have to make use of all the warriors with you.”

Harley dismisses Gusion and for the last person who has another important role, the mage summons Kimmy.

“I want you to freeze the Black Dragon later. But for now, follow my lead and we will head to the bottom lane," he briefly explains and leads both Kimmy and Angela to where Terizla and Gatotkaca are.

On their way, Harley briefs the two of his plan to at least weaken the dragon. Though, the two girls simply stand quiet because they could not fully comprehend the tiny bit complicated plan of the mage. And to pretend like they understood everything, all they could do is nod their head and state words of agreement.

Upon reaching the bottom lane, Harley smirks upon seeing the huge break on the ground.

“Break the ground until lava comes out,” he states.

“So you want us to break the ground?” Kimmy asks with her eyebrows almost meeting at the center of her forehead.

Harley, of course, shakes his head in response.

“Prepare yourself because you will be releasing tons of ice later.” He, then, turns to Angela whose eyes are fixed on him.

Patting her on the head, he says, “As for you, Vespid, I want you to weave a net huge and strong enough to withstand a dragon. Can you do that?”

“Sure can,” Angela replies with her mechanical voice.

She lifts both of her hands and strings coming out from her fingertips start to float in midair. Kimmy could not believe what she is seeing so she bends forward towards Harley.
