Chapter 55: Top Escort (6)
In the midst of the battle, Kito reached out to Leon telepathically.
[It seems you're still not finished.]
[How's it going on your end?]
[All taken care of. Need any help?]
[No, I can manage.]
Leon had considered asking if Kito could capture one of the enemies for questioning, but hearing that she had already dealt with them all, he abandoned the idea.
‘I wanted to capture one to gather some intel...’
Since Kito couldn't help, Leon knew he had to do it himself. Organizing his thoughts, he sent his wooden sword flying toward Ulric again.
Ulric, already familiar with the peculiar ability of the wooden sword, chose to dodge rather than block.
Leon took that moment to charge straight at him.
“Thunderstrike.”
Nine small orbs, crackling with lightning energy, appeared above Leon’s hand and shot toward Ulric. However, a powerful gust of wind erupted around Ulric, effortlessly pushing the orbs away before they could reach him.
