Chapter 193: Thunder
As the tempest roc rose, Rain’s confidence plummeted.
Where was Ozzy?
He couldn’t see his teammate, but he could see the mana gathering in the roc, accumulating in its throat.
"SKREEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
Rain was stunned as the roc screeched louder than anything he’d ever heard. The pain was extraordinary until there was a sudden, sharp spike pain it and the sound ceased completely. Seconds later, he felt something warm dripping down his chin.
His eardrums had burst, he realized, and it was his own blood now dripping down his neck.
A moment later, a more familiar pain took hold as he recognized the touch of Cassie’s healing. Before he could get his bearings, however, a sudden burst of light blinded him from above, and the pain of healing crawled into his eyes as Cassie kept her spell active.
After what felt like an eternity of painful oscillation, his vision cleared enough for him to see Ozzy, clearly exhausted from having spent his mana on such a large flare.
The elevated orc has blinded the roc, and emitted enough light that the shields around them had automatically tinted, darkening out the crowd beyond.
The roc, completely blinded, landed in a heap before awkwardly standing and thrashing about, sweeping aggressively with its wings as it circled about, confused and angry.
"Rain keep moving! It’s healing!" Cassie shouted.
