The witches each threw up a barrier to protect themselves against the blast while Rhychard drew the demon’s power into his sword. Renny shielded herself as well, and the gnomes dropped into the ground. Only Kree bore the onslaught head-on, the magical blast sending him sprawling backward, smoke from his wound wafting up into the air around him.
Rhychard screamed as he tried to make his way to the coshey, slinging his sword at Baltabek, sending the demon’s power back at him. This time, the magic bolt struck the demon in the shoulder, spinning him around and dropping him to his knees.
