"Ack!"
Nord clutched his wrist as sharp pain permeated through it, a sickening tremor running up his arm. He could tell some of the bone had fractured—and all that from a single lash of a thin vine.
Then he heard it.
A sweet, calm voice that sent a chill down his spine.
"Is that the dagger you used to hurt Miho?"
Before he could even turn around, his beast, Goluk, reacted on instinct, throwing its massive arm forward in a punch aimed straight at Lily. But—
Slash!
Lily raised one palm effortlessly, and a compressed wind blade tore straight through Goluk's body. The air screamed as it cut. Just before the blade could split the beast completely in two, Goluk vanished in a flash of light—transported away by its life-saving bracelet.
Lily noted the detail subconsciously. A beast could be saved from even a one shot attack. That realisation soothed her slightly; if Miho had truly been in mortal danger, she would have survived.
