章 273: Minecrawlers [XIII]

A massive semi-translucent bubble surrounded the group of venari guards a moment later, however, a moment was all that Lucius's cohort needed to wreak havoc.

Lucius was within the bubble only an instant after it was set up. He grabbed two of the venari, each in one hand, and willed his tails to finish them off. 

They tore the venari's heads off, before tossing them towards the others.

With the threat of the blue-robed venari so close to him, he couldn't afford to let any of them live. 

The venari guards tried to cast their spells, however, their chant times were too long. Lucius decapitated or incapacitated them before they could even get a cantrip off.

However, his surprise advantage was quickly snuffed out. The blue-robed venari seemed to be able to cast faster than all the others and had positioned itself so that the other venari guards would act as a shield between the two of them.
