Nix spotted the flash of black wings and leaped from the shoulder of the wood golem. At the apex of his jump, Rhy swooped in and gripped both of his hands before banking effortlessly away.
"Very trusting, Nix!"
Nix held tightly onto her bone hands as she climbed higher into the sky. "You aren't going to drop your Champion. That's just not going to happen, right?"
"I suppose so," Rhy affirmed. "Where should I put you down?"
"Behind enemy lines, time to pull these weeds out!"
Rhy nodded but didn't comment. The Inferno Guild leader had tank-like survivability.
Nix readied himself when she banked suddenly and entered a shallow dive. She moved into the trees to mask their movement before landing softly on the ground. "I'll keep an eye on things from above! Be careful, Nix."
"Going to eliminate whatever cadre they have left." Nix waved a skeletal hand and waited until she was back in the air before equipping the stealth ring.
What a crazy week. Thought for sure I had covid but my test was negative. Self-Quarantine for the next two weeks at my doctor's recommendation. She wants to make sure I don't catch something else while my immune system is recovering. Closing on five hundred chapters. I'll try to hit it this week!
