Chapter 152: Shield

The Hotasagi's wide colored wings generated a thin, sharp air stream. It impacted against the biggest of the fractures and cracked the arms still clinging to the archer's slender body in half.

Within seconds, Shioko managed to roll to the ground and grab the bow and quiver. Ogai's hood rotated dangerously in her direction, and, predicting the incoming blow, the warlock quickly got ready for the counterattack.

He let go of Yoichi's face and clutched the little dark sphere between both hands. The next moment he opened them: the small black and dense sphere had quadrupled in size, expanding.

"Aaargh!" he yelled for the effort. The warlock shot the dark energy sphere towards the archer, and the anomalous object travelled at high speed for a couple of meters, covering half the distance between the two challengers in just over a second.
