Chapter 23: Perilous Rescue
"Just keep pushing!"
Akan and the others took the front, blocking the Rock Bullets with their thick wooden panels.
Hal, meanwhile, stayed at the back, firing [Weak Mana Blasts] at the Mischievous Housesprites.
He had already successfully killed one, and the remaining three were in an unwilling retreat.
This particular species of arcane monsters seemed to hate humans with a passion, and being forced back by mundane townsfolk and a single young wizard was far from thrilling for them.
How they wished they could smash Hal's head with a Rock Bullet.
Unfortunately, while their spells remained lethal, they could only gradually chip away at the thick wooden panels, receiving numerous translucent-blue mana blasts in return.
It was an unwinnable battle.
At least, for the three remaining Mischievous Housesprites...
They needed help from their comrades.
Luckily for the monsters, Hal and his small cohort had another goal, so after a while of giving chase, they allowed the three minorly wounded sprites to escape.
