Riev took them further into the forest, hoping to lose some of the hybrids. He then landed on a tree branch, high up on the trees and placed Alicia down.
"I'll go deal with them," Riev told her, obviously telling her to stay put.
"But there are too many of them! There's no wa-"
"Please don't insult me, witch princess. I am not weak. Raven is our captain because he knows how to lead but I am just as strong as he is," Riev cut her off.
Riev's red eyes blazed as he made mincemeat of the hybrid vampires that came at them. Alicia provided back up by casting protection spells, healing spells and buffs on Riev. Riev felt unstoppable. His body felt light but stronger. He was somewhat amazed at the difference he felt with Alicia's spells running through his body. It was actually kind of scary.
