'The pendant protected me?', she blankly stared at the pendant, not sure what to feel.
The thing she wanted, but couldn't take off, had protected her.
Elista froze, feeling complicated emotions.
But reality didn't wait for her.
Several bone spikes shot from the ground, aiming to pierce the golden barrier around her.
-Thunk
-Thunk
-Thunk
The barrier held for now, but no one knew it's limit.
"You come HERE!!", Mark shouted as he pulled Gellian back with all his might. And no, he wasn't putting cart before the horse. He had tried to move Elista away stealthily, but was flabbergasted when his strings couldn't grasp the barrier.
So, he simply pulled.
His face turned red, muscles bulged, and his mana spiked, and yet Gellain stood rooted to the ground.
It wasn't that the horned beast men was just that strong, instead, it was his clever use of bones.
