Book 15: Chapter 4 (2)
As Shin’s group started fighting Reforgerer, the group led by Shibaid headed towards the World Tree. No one intended to go help them. Looking at the scale of the battle, they understood that any support they could provide would be a hindrance instead.
Their current location was also still inside the attack range of Reforgerer’s tail. If they attracted the divine beast’s attention, its tail would pound them like a hammer. Tiera moved as quickly as possible, knowing that their best way to help Shin was for all the priestesses to reach the World Tree as soon as possible.
“We will be okay…right?”
“Without a shred of a doubt. We could block its most powerful attack with the shield. There is no need for concern.”
Shibaid replied calmly to Tiera’s doubt. She had seen the beam blocked before her eyes. What Shibaid said was definitely true.
(And yet…)
Everyone in the group had seen Reforgerer’s massive body and the power of its beam, as well as Shin blocking it. Only Tiera was slightly different.
Until now, she had encountered Grand Duke demons and even one of the most powerful monsters in the world, Ishkar, all opponents much, much stronger than her. Because of that, she had the leeway to observe the shield defending them from the beam.
(It’s melted a little. If someone takes the full brunt of that attack…)
