บท 115: The Ambush [Part 3]

While Lucius and Kalliope took on the Advance Rank fighters, Marie and the two Eroan beastmen rained down covering fire on the remaining warriors.

Most of them were Beginner and Intermediate Ranks, so they could not hold up to the strength of Marie's spells or to too many of the arrows from the Eroans.

Because of that, the covering group was able to keep the small fries off the backs of those holding off the more powerful opponents. Mia was grateful that it worked out this way and used the opportunity to shuffle among the battlefield to sneakily take out a few men herself.

Her sand-colored cloak and outfit that she received as a gift from Kalliope kept made her hard to pick out in the midst of a battle, especially in concert with her stealth skills. Though there was no shade and they were under the oppressive light of the desert sun, she was still able to maintain a surprising amount of stealth without the ability to use her dark magic.
