Chapter 104: Deep into Sovereignty 2
Lyra nodded, her eyes were fierce despite the pain, weaving a multi-layered rune net that pinned three bogstalkers, its tendrils were tightened. Salaris darted between them and her talons were slashing cores with surgical precision, her screeches were cutting through the chaos.
Darius steadied himself, his grin returned as he unleashed a radial soulstone blast, the gem-enhanced explosion that shattered the two cores in a blinding flash.
Rhoam roared, his iron plates were deflecting a tail strike, while his charge crushed another core and the beast collapsed in a heap of thorned scales.
Kelvin channeled a piercing fire lance with Xerion’s flames surging through the dark gauntlet, the beam lanced through a final bogstalker’s core.
The beast roared and its body dissolved in a burst of ash, the visions faded as the swamp fell silent. The trio collapsed, their breaths ragged and their beasts were battered but alive.
Kelvin’s leg bled, but he went to Lyra, checking her arm wound, as she leaned on Salaris with her face sad but determined, the raptor’s talons dripped with the bogstalker essence.
Darius clutched his arm with blood soaking his bandages, but Rhoam’s steady presence kept him upright, the panther’s plates gleamed despite the scratches.

Darius tossed his soulstone, his grin was weak but sharp. "Let’s hunt her down."
