Chapter 41: Stay Alive!
"Agral!"
Calil, standing next to Niara, instantly pointed up at the sky. Above those fifty terrifying Risen in the distance, everyone spotted a small golden light, like a flash of lightning.
That was a Summoner from the same tribe as Calil's, which is why he recognized the blessing and the guy's Bloodline.
"He was supposed to be in the third row... why is he...?" Calil muttered.
The figure in the sky realized he'd been spotted, so he didn't bother hiding anymore. He dropped the crackling lightning energy around him and vanished without hesitation, eyes shining with ruthless intent.
The Risen kept moving forward. Suddenly, a huge wall of earth rose in their path. But to those Risen, it might as well have been paper — they tore through it instantly.
"Lady Saimph! She's holding them off alone?!" Ronan shouted, shocked as she recognized the other figure — someone from her own tribe.
Everyone saw a woman falling back fast in the distance. Saimph was with her partner, who looked like a brown snake. The creature glowed and made the earth shake, raising wall after wall of dirt — but they were smashed just as quickly.
Still, it worked. The mindless Risen locked onto them and charged. Saimph kept retreating, creating more barriers over and over.
At the same time, Niara sensed three other figures lurking behind the horde of Risen, far from anyone's view.
She growled, her killing intent spiking.
