Victor's voice had then attracted the Skitterfangs' attention.
All at once, their heads snapped toward the intruders.
There was no need for another word… As soon as they were noticed, the battle began.
The three Skitterfangs shrieked, their mandibles threw the half-eaten shells as they uncoiled from the ceiling and dropped with incredible speed.
"Spread out!" Drosk ordered as he readied his sword. Just like Victor, he had decided to use it with its metal scabbard for now…
The beasts hit the ground with a thud…
Then, their armored legs scurried rapidly over the shells on the ground as they pounced at Hale immediately, forcing her to roll sideways and slash with her short sword.
Since she was also an archer, her precision strikes were the best among all of them. Her blade scraped sparks against its joints, and although it didn't crack open the joints of the Skitterfang, it definitely felt the danger from her short blade.
