Chương 158: Set Ablaze

A bow and arrows would be disadvantageous during a close combat fight. Hence, Laina summoned a sword from her spatial storage instead. She enhanced the weapon with a spell of fire, lighting up the blade. 

She held one hand out, "Colette, stay behind me."

The young child did as she was told, anticipating the fight that was about to unfold. The first beast approached. It was aggressive and relentless with its attacks. Laina wielded her sword with skill, carefully defending herself and Colette.

When she saw an opening, she took the chance to attack. The flame-covered sword pierced through the beast's hide, creating a wide gash on the side of its ribs. The creature growled in agony, limping a distance away in retreat. 

Adrenaline pumped through Laina's veins as the fight went on. She could not recall when was the last time she had participated in such an exhilarating battle. At the moment she let her guard down, another beast pounced towards her.
