Chapter 82: The Caval-Bee is Here!
Metsaitti tensed as the boar charged towards him. He leapt to the side at the last moment once more and then grabbed onto his spear. He tried to pull it out but was instead pulled along by the boar and couldn’t get good leverage before an approaching tree forced him to let go once more.
Meanwhile, Chief Rohsuak shouted at the other hunters, taking command and ordering them to stop attacking. The problem was that only Metsaitti was fast and experienced enough to consistently dodge the shade’s charges. However, without his weapon it would be hard for him to keep its attention if someone else was harming it.
Still, Metsaitti could not exactly fight unarmed forever. Chief Rohsuak, therefore, began to stir up her mana. Should she miss, she would no longer be capable of contributing to the fight…and may cause another big problem on top of it, but at this point she had little choice. Someone needed to give Metsaitti a chance to get his weapon back and no one else was capable of the task.
Chief Rohsuak herself was not certain she’d be able to escape the boar’s attention afterwards, but protecting the clan was her duty as chief. She’d just have to trust that Metsaitti would take advantage of the distraction and give her a chance to escape.
But then they heard it. A slight buzzing noise that grew louder with every second. One of the hunters pointed up in the sky.
“Look!”
Chief Rohsuak took a second to glance up and her eyes widened. A massive, yellow and black cloud was rushing towards them. One that she very much recognized.
The bee army approached.
“The Sacred Den Master…has come to help us?”
