Darkness (4)

Lara rolled on the ground to collect the emerald pearl, however, the three metres tall humongous ghoul lunged at her, crashing in. How could it let go of its target so easily? Like its other counterparts, it only knew two things, to feed on and to tear apart.

Lara's mind rang. Even if she used all her ability she wouldn't make it. However, she was not alone.

A shield of white light formed just in front of her as it shattered just from the one assault of the monster, but that was enough. The little amount of time that shield of protection gave was enough for Lara to take a stance, holding her sword threateningly. Without considering for a second she infused mana into the little pearl, she didn't have any time to check it out first, nor was there any safety manual.
