Tactics and Strategy (Part 4)

"Please, no." Ailia said even though she knew that the Ranger couldn't hear her.

She was a smart girl. Ailia could easily guess what was going to happen. The moment the spell hit her, Lith would be free to cut her down with his swords while she was too busy defending herself from the storm.

A mage couldn't be hurt by their own spell, so the Ranger could disregard Stormnado's effects and focus solely on attacking.

Jaren too understood that his friend had a few seconds left to live. He had no idea how a fake mage could hold her ground against Pelion, but he knew that the moment one of them fell, the rest would soon follow.

The Emperor Beast had no skill with his weapon, but each of his strikes had the weight of a mountain. The only time Jaren had blocked with his broadsword, not only did the blade almost break, but the impact also numbed his hands.

"Benyo, keep him busy! Ailia needs help." He yelled as he dived below to the rescue.
