Chapter 44: Ghast
Kael once again activated his [Lightning Mantle], grabbed Kiona and ran at his full speed towards the end of the bridge. He could also see small stars forming there.
'Here comes the first round,' he thought.
The bridge was very narrow and there wasn't much room to dodge, so a barrage of fireball-induced arrows would cause him a lot of problems.
That was why he wanted to cross quickly as he didn't have any long-range attacks aside from [Dragon's Breath], and he didn't want to use it.
He ran and waited for the perfect timing, and just when he felt that the archers were about to launch the arrows, he opened his mouth as a high-pitched roar reverberated in the surroundings. It was much more powerful than the one Kiona released.
All the archers flinched and the bows that were pointed at him shifted. The archers couldn't stop themselves from releasing the arrows, as they all rained down in Kael's direction, but none of them hit him.
Kiona was paying attention to everything clearly since she was currently being carried around. At that moment, she noticed crimson circles forming in the distant group of skeletons.
She quickly alerted her master, "They are casting some spell, I think."
Kael frowned and tapped his foot, as he strained his muscles to the max to increase his speed even more. It reached to the point that Kiona began to feel her cheeks, as she felt chills due to the lightning around her.
On the other hand, Kael swore internally, 'I'm definitely getting a ranged beast under me after this.'
He hated the fact that he didn't have anything to deal with ranged opponents. The only thing close to it was [Storm Pulse], but its range was small.
