Before the two of them could set off, Jim's voice suddenly rang out behind them.
''Hey!'' he shouted. ''What the hell are we supposed to do?!''
Theo paused and glanced back.
For a moment, he'd almost forgotten about the others.
The three dozen C-rank vultures that had attacked them were already dead, leaving Jim, Iris, and Lyra with nothing directly in front of them.
His eyes quickly moved towards Dragonfang.
Marcus's summoned beasts were still blocking attacks, but several had already been heavily injured.
And although Darius's attack seemed to have seriously injured the B-rank vulture, the beast was far from dead.
''Go help them defend!'' Theo shouted, pointing towards Dragonfang. ''Make sure nothing gets through!''
''Got it!'' Jim shouted back while giving a thumbs-up.
Iris and Lyra nodded immediately.
None of them had the mobility to keep up with Theo and Owen without their contracted beasts anyway.
The three rushed towards the Dragonfang group right away.
