Chapitre 128: Hob Ninja (part 1)

Sheyla was confused. There was a weird transparent creature on the chandelier with her. No matter, she drew her long dagger and prepared to counterattack. 

However, the creature was faster than her. It slashed the chandelier's rope before escaping. 

She quickly did the same, jumping to the side. A pile of hob corpses cushioned her fall. 

Aito's Gift, Instinct, warned him of a fast-approaching danger from above. He looked up, only to see the chandelier rapidly falling towards him. 

With no time to think, he oriented the Filona-club upward. The chandelier crashed against the headless statue, shattering into multiple pieces, breaking and decelerating its fall for a moment.

Pieces of stone dropped on the hobs attacking Aito, crushing them. He cursed internally, deployed his shield, and lifted it atop his head, overloading Durability.
