Just as Nick was about to touch the foreign mass of Zephyx in his neck, a cerulean glint appeared in front of him.
For a short moment, Nick's mind didn't work, and just a bit later, an endless wave of relief washed over him.
This was probably the closest he had ever come to dying.
The cerulean glint was the cerulean sword puppet belonging to Ariel.
It burst out of the ground and cut the priest into pieces.
After cutting the priest apart, the cerulean sword puppet focused on the pillar that was being carried by several people.
The puppet swung one of its sword arms.
SHING!
A blue shockwave traveled forward and passed through all of the coral people carrying the pillar.
CRK! CRK! CRK!
The coral people all fell into pieces, and the pillar hit the ground.
