The Brood Mother - II

The sizzling globs of poison melted the ground, creating soggy pillars that smoked with a thick white cloud, the scent like ammonia or bleach. Leonhardt's blade cut through the empty sky as he tried to fight back. 

A black arc shimmering with his mana missed the brood mother, which smashed his abdomen with her damaged leg. 

Thud!

"Ugh...!"

Shaaa! 

A low hiss sounded from the aggrieved brood mother, twisting her body as the sleek black leg snapped, falling onto the ground as green blood oozed from the tip.

"He destroyed her front leg!" Erina gasped before gazing at Leon, who slipped down the wall while covered in dust. 

"Ice wall!" 

Sylvie's staff glimmered as she blocked the oncoming globs of venom, the surface bubbling instantly, forming deep craters in her improved ice.
