Chapter 54: Might be worse.
"I will explain things to you bit by bit. You ju-"
Ramsay had been on high alert ever since the girl with silver hair told them about the strangers spying on them, but even then he failed to react when he saw the school bus that came falling at them from the sky.
The truck following behind him made a stop at the right time and avoided colliding with it, but it was clear that their troubles were only getting started.
Before he could wonder who or what it was that tossed an entire school bus at them, something else fell on top of it, sending another tremor through the desolate street.
’A Fallen?’
He could see the red halo even through the dust cloud, but the height it was at made him click his tongue.
[Rider!]
The shout almost popped his eardrums. Jumping off the bike, he took out his bow and quiver preparing to take on the monster, though most of his attention was delegated to the surroundings as he waited for the real assailants to show themselves.
"Worry about yourself!" He yelled back. "Just get out of here!"
That must’ve sounded like a very stupid idea. In a situation where an unknown enemy was targeting them, separating would be nothing short of suicide. Ramsay had his own plans, however.
A throwing knife came flying at him from the left, its target being his head. He moved aside and let it pass then leaned further to the left and evaded another projectile while Knocking an arrow.
