章 187: And then ...he appeared!

Astrid, her body aching from the exertion confronted the arrow. After struggling for a while the arrow, a weapon of immense power, had been deflected, its trajectory altered. It had soared into the sky hitting an invisible barrier before disappearing from existence something which surprised everyone including Lara.

" I wonder how much is needed to shake this world..." She thought.

But the relief was short-lived.

A second arrow, identical to the first, was already on its way. There was no time to react. The dwarven fortress, a symbol of their resilience, was in the path of the oncoming projectile. Astrid immediately ordered the fortress to be moved.

The massive dome structure, powered by a complex network of gears and levers, began to shift. Slowly but surely, it inched away from the path of the arrow. The maneuver was shocking and even Lara raised an eyebrow," A moving fortress huh?"

Astrid also dodged.
