Chapter 42-

Toshio, Bob, and Zarele quickly readied themselves for a fight, but they were forced to hide behind some trees as Rhosla summoned another barrage of stone blades at them. The blades started breaking off chunks of the trees, quickly turning them into dozens of splinters and showered the three people hiding behind them. This forced them to run out of their hiding spots and run away from the blades. Eventually the three hid behind a large boulder that they found. This provided enough protection from the rest of the stone blades that flew at them, which shattered against the large rock.

‘Was she always able to summon this many?’ Toshio thought to himself, then looked at Bob. “Any idea on how to beat her?”

Bob shook his head and showed a nick on his arm where one of the stone blades chipped a piece of bone off.

“Alright… What about you, Zarele?” Toshio asked. “Any idea on how- “

Toshio stopped when he noticed that Zarele wasn’t there anymore.
