Fay struck soldiers down with ease; his new dagger sent them flying or slicing them.
The slave owners, on the other hand, ran; they stopped all attempts at trying to attack Fay at once, even going so far as to get their bodyguards to step in and have creatures summoned to attack the boy.
Fay was glad, though; he needed mana cores, and taking them off creatures was the best way to heal himself.
He let Jolt and Grin out to help him with this task, knowing full well both beast would need their own share of mana cores, but with so many people and creatures to fight with, it wouldn't be hard for each one of them to find their own share.
Somni, on the other hand, hid in the shadows, going to the strongest of the enemies back to stealthily bring them down.
That particular creature no longer needed aether stones—its new tentacles could drain aether in mere seconds upon contact.
The only drawback was that Somni had to remain anchored to one enemy at a time.
