"Hold on!" Min directed a concentrated water jet toward Jun, forcing him to retreat while using another stream to heal the cracks in Taro's defense.
Ren dodged Han's first web, noting how the mana had been channeled for the attack even before it was launched.
'The edges,' he thought while jumping aside. 'They're 4 meters from his hip.'
Jun vaulted over Taro with monkey-enhanced agility, attempting to strike at Min. Taro's arm extended just in time, his shell's reinforced surface intercepting the blow while Min counterattacked with a precise water jet to Jun's face. The coordination between defenders and healer had become almost instinctive.
Sora seized the momentary distraction to charge again, her antlers blazing with accumulated power. Taro pivoted to intercept, but the sheer force of impact drove him back several steps, leaving small furrows in the packed earth.
