Chapter 50: Lailla Grien
"Who’re you—" Zelr demanded to know, turning his blade to face his opponent, the girl laughed, clearly not seeing him as a threat.
"Lailla Grien, warrior of the kingdom of science," she took a soft bow, laughter laced within her words, like a little girl who can’t keep themselves still.
"Kingdom of science..." Astra muttered, the name catching her attention, gaze narrowing at their adversary as she took a step back.
’It’s them...’ She thought, her eyes flicking to Zelr who continued to keep his eyes on her, not moving for a moment.
The hunter’s shoulders stiffened, his grip on his blade enough to make a grown man flinch.
"I’ll leave this to you-" Astra announced, grabbing her bag and running ahead, Zelr giving her a soft nod, acknowledging her words.
"Where’re you off to~!" Lailla laughed, her heel coiling back to a monstrous degree only left on the ball of her feet before springing forward, the sheer force leaving a small crater in the earth. In an instant she reached in the way of the scientist, her arms coiled back with a grin of pure joy. "I thought we were about to have fun!"
Before Astra could react she shot her arm, the force whistling like a slingshot. Astra closed her eyes, feeling gusts upon gusts of force blowing past her. Only to open them to see Zelr in the way, taking the full force.
"Go—" He muttered, not even bothering to look back. Astra nodded and continued down the path, leaving the two titans to their fight.
