Chapter 82: Shoddy Construction
The Lowat warrior had an angle to plunge his daggers into Issa’s chest, throat, or head. Almost no one in the forest would kill a Seg, even in these circumstances. But Sosora couldn’t trust the Lowat warrior, not in the slightest. She couldn’t take that chance.
She had to stop him before he could target Issa.
She flew forward and whipped out her leg to kick the Lowat warrior away from Issa.
But Sosora had been too hasty.
Even if the Lowat warrior wanted to kill them all, he knew better than to focus on someone who was already out of the fight. Sosora was of much higher priority. The Lowat warrior had been waiting for her to charge in.
He jumped back to avoid her kick and then struck down with the pommel of his dagger onto Sosora’s leg.
Sosora gritted her teeth and grunted in pain as she came down and put her weight on the leg that had just been struck. Her shin wasn’t broken, but something was definitely fractured. Unfortunately, she couldn’t ask for a timeout, and she bore with the pain as she stood up straight and raised her guard again.
"What’s going on here?!"
A short young woman with the hallmark pointy ears of the Orovir tribe shouted angrily as she came upon the scene. She took Sosora and the Lowat warrior by surprise.
Since both of them were surprised, Sosora was fine. But the Lowat warrior was alone and surrounded by others who wanted him dead.
Tilo had mostly recovered from the first hit and had snuck up behind the Lowat warrior. He did not miss this opportunity for revenge and stabbed the Lowat warrior in the back.
