Chapter 62: Spell Weaving (I)
Her voice was soon drowned out by a bombardment as a number of goblin bombs exploded around them.
"Just hold on for a bit," he said. A kinetic wave lashed out from him, fighting off the explosive force.
Finding an opening, his form blurred, still carrying her as he thrust his sabre into one of the goblins at the forefront. Even with only a little mana imbued into the tier 6 blade, it met no obstruction, digging through the goblin's bone armour to claim its life.
His next targets came just as swiftly. Two goblins, brandishing a club and an axe.
Ember sent one flying with a tier 3 Kinetic Push and dealt with the other using his blade. Although his new weapon was not the exact dimensions of his old one, his form moved with perfect fluidity, the sabre narrowly avoiding the axe's edge before cleaving through the goblin's arm.
With its arm severed, the goblin cried out hysterically. A single swing would have ended its misery when Dawn cried out, "Look out!"
A few arrows shot towards them from the rear. Although not all of them were aimed perfectly, there were still a couple that would plunge into them, unless she did something about it.
However, as soon as the words left her lips, Ember sprang off his feet in the opposite direction from where the arrows had come. Dawn still cast a Force Shield as more arrows targeted them. Ember darted around within the encirclement, still carrying her as though she were some helpless kitten.
