Chapter 568. Raining Opportunities

                                                                     John Ericsson's Point Of View

" Okay, are you good to go, Harry?"

" Yes... I guess I'll be as ready as I'll ever be."

" Good. Start the spell as soon as I open the ceiling."

" Okay."

It's only been a few minutes since the arguing died down, Harry was quick to understand what I wanted him to do, it shouldn't be too difficult, after all, we did it before. Back in the forest when we were fighting that Squad Captain... Didn't I get his name from Lee? What was it... Quinton? Right... We did it to Quinton. And the situation was somewhat similar. Quinton was angry as well, he wasn't thinking clearly, that made me be able to trick him. Morgan is the same. I can't sense his mana at this point, but it's like I told them already, he's too obsessed with me for whatever reason and that's how I know he not only wants to find me, but he has to... Granted, I still can't believe he hasn't tried to look underground. Maybe he lacks the means? His magic... No, now's not the time to think about that... Even if he is the current enemy, I need to focus on what I can do to win.

" Here we go!"

/ Rumble!/

" Holy Bolt!"

/ Boom! Thump!/

" What!?"

I quickly aimed a small Holy Bolt at the top of the big, eye-catching hole I opened, once it hit the dirt another cloud had formed. Not just that, but I heard someone yell... And he sounded a lot like an angry Elf that was irritated that he couldn't find a certain Human for the past 5 or so minutes. I didn't move however, but I did see 3 shadows jump out of the hole I was still in. Now then... Let's head to the left a bit and open a small hole.

" There you are! Die!"

I wonder if he'll ever be able to say anything different? Regardless, it looks like Harry's illusions are working, that's good. I quickly opened another hole in the ceiling, this one though, was quite small, with the cloud of dust and dirt still covering the area, it wasn't hard to pop out of the hole and still be hidden.

/ Flap./

" Man, this guy's an idiot. I just have him chasing the 3 images of you, he's swinging his sword so angrily. I don't even think he'll notice if we raise our voices."

" Well, let's not give him a chance to know what's happening at all. I'd rather end this quickly."

Harry, who I had Summoned, was sitting on my shoulder as it was the most comfortable place for him. Granted, I say " comfortable", but my armor didn't really have a good place to sit for an owl like Harry. In reality, his favorite place to perch on was the hair on my scalp, something about my hair feeling soft or something? I wouldn't mind it so much if it wasn't for the fact that we were currently in a fight. Regardless of that, I was now topside again. And I could see Morgan's shadow, it was moving about, attacking other shadows. Well, I suppose it would be his actual body that was attacking the shadows in question.

" See... Like I said, now then I'll take off, you should probably end this quickly."

" Yeah, that's the plan. Go ahead, just keep overhead and if you see anything happening like what I talked about, don't panic and stick to the plan, okay?"

" Alright."

/ Flap!/

Harry took off from my shoulder and began to circle around the area. I wanted him to keep a close eye incase Morgan was capable of pulling any tricks, but I don't think I'll need to worry about that. Now then... As for the man of the hour.
