Stronghold (20)

As soon as that voice fell, there was another explosion that happened.

Only this time, the explosion was much closer to us.

It came from the door frame that was behind all of the creatures and knocked them down to the ground. Even the bigger ones couldn't resist the force of this explosion as they were knocked down.

Some of them were even hit by the shrapnel of the wall as it was blown up, but the thick skin that they had prevented them from being hurt.

Even though they were hit with the shrapnel, it couldn't pierce their thick skins.

But that wasn't the main reason for the explosion.

The explosion was a distraction to keep them occupied while the person who created the explosion came to get us.

That person turned out to be Yuuji.

He waved at us and shouted, "Let's go! We need to get out of here while we still can!"

The four of us looked at each other before grabbing Gargamel and running to the exit.
