Chapter 112: Miho
"Block it, Miho!" Lily shouted, her arms flaring outward as a torrent of wind blades burst from her palms with a sharp whip.
Miho—a petite girl with tangled black hair and dirt smudged across her cheeks, looking as if she'd rolled through the forest floor moments earlier—scrambled forward. She was the same Alric's timid servant; she now clutched a brownish beast core in both hands, squeezing it as she channelled her mana.
A bark-like, translucent brown barrier bloomed into existence before her with a cracking shimmer, forming a wall that shielded her entire body.
A barrage of sludge projectiles hammered into it one after another, thud, splatter, thud, making the shield ripple yet hold firm.
"Good!" Lily called out, her voice sharp with focus. She drew her sword in a bright, metallic flash and lunged toward the beast.
