It wasn't like enemy force would summon something while Henmu was nearby.
They did exactly when she distanced herself as far as possible, so it obviously would take some time for dark-haired elf to arrive before this red scaled hand.
"My Lord! Your lowly servant requests blessing to erase the abomination polluting our land!"
Requesting an aid from her goddess, Henmu kicked the ground strongly then flew past the Forest Pond like a fairy.
In the air, her body flashed with green light that pulled the closest branches towards her. Those branches not only became Henmu's foothold, but also reached out to stop the red scaled hand from falling into the pond!
A volley of green arrows drew green trails around the golden fireflies, then descended straight onto the hand by then!
Henmu was not alone, other elves raised their weapons to assist her.
The heavy arrows spread the new branches around the hand upon landing.
Boom!
Thanks for reading! Have a nice day!
