Mira's apartment (1)

As the two remaining Mires made their way toward Erik and Mira, the atmosphere was tense, at least for Erik's companion.

Mira took a long breath before quickly nocking an arrow, her fingers finding the familiar position and releasing the projectile. Mira released her arrow when one of the beasts approached her with its horrifying maw gaping open.

The arrow flew through the air, hitting its target directly in the middle of its eyes and penetrating its brain. The Mires died and fell to the ground in a single swift motion. At the same time, Erik concentrated his mana, causing a glow around both fists.

He made a beeline for the final Thaid and landed a decisive blow directly on its carapace. The intensity of the hit caused the shell to break quickly, which sent the creature to its "knees."

Erik looked at Mira. He wasn't tired, but he still faked a little to be tired. That's the last of them," he said, wiping sweat off his brow.
