Chapter 79: The second creature wave - 8
At the south quadrant, Team Galeforce moved like a single body. Wind howled—not from nature, but from them.
The short man danced between monsters, a blade barely longer than his hand flashing like silver lightning. Wind curled at his heels, twisting his dodges and sharpening his strikes. Each step was a gust. Each slash, a whisper of a storm.
Beside him, the other girl raised her arms. A wall of air slammed into a charging Grivehowl, sending it tumbling backward.
She spun, blades of compressed wind slicing out in all directions. The creatures tried to close in, but every breath of air turned into a weapon.
Hunter moved through them like a storm’s shadow—his hands crackling with wind, carving through flesh and bone with practiced fury. Every time a beast lunged, one of them was already there. Covering. Attacking. Distracting.
The Boneflayer shrieked and lunged forward, only for a sudden gale to shove it back into a waiting blade.
They didn’t need words. They fought like they’d done this a thousand times.
Not far from them, stone shook the ground.
Mia darted between golems twice her size, her body moving with unnatural rhythm. She sprinted up the arm of one—using its rising punch as a ramp—and launched herself from its shoulder.
She soared.
Both her arms were encased in stone, reshaped into hulking gauntlets. She crashed into a Grivehowl from above, her fists turning the beast’s skull into rubble. Before her feet even touched the ground, she was moving again, directing her golems with a snap of her fingers.
One of them slammed its fist into the eyeless face of a Rotback.
