Yulysion exclaile strike from his sword
“M’lady! Cast a barrier!”
Max was staring blankly at the decapitated body lying on the ground but was snapped out of it and started drawing out her h time or chance to cast the barrier as the monsters rushed in from all directions Yulysion and Garrow hurriedly pushed her back against a tree and stood in front of her in protection
The goblins raced down the slopes with great speed and clihts slashed two goblins at a ti the axes as weapons Their screeches resounded sharply frory monkeys
“damn it! There’s no end to this!”
Hebaron’s blaring voice pierced her ears Max gasped in horror, leaning further against the tree trunk Just as Heabron said, the knights slashed through goblins after goblins, but they infinitely ca rocky mountain
“Back off! With one strike of my sword I will…”
“Stop! The rock walls are collapsing!” Riftan screaoblin “Our position puts us in a disadvantage! Retreat!”
“Are you kidding e was cut off Suddenly, a dull, thunderous groan caht in a hurry Riftan i quick orders
“The rock walls are falling apart! Get the hell away frohts reacted alrabbed Max’s arrabbed her horse’s reins and dragged Reed mountain path At that moment, a heavy thunderous sound shook the mountain and the birds all flew up into the sky Max stared wide-eyed sideways at the soil and rocks rushi+ng down as Yulysion dragged her by the hand
The knights hurriedly ran off the slope to escape the landslide, while the ground beneath the rocks Max stu down the slope so as the other knights, carried away by the rushi+ng soil with their horses
She could hear Riftan yelling in the distance, but no one was able to respond Every tiround were quicksand and her body kept plunging down as if so her down by the ankle There was no chance to pull theht that they had finally set their feet on stable ground, piles of stone and soil ca down over their heads
She alh speed and just before the valley of rocks fell on the theround, continuing to release her ic for them further fro sound that had echoed endlessly barely subsided as her asped for the breath she had been holding, so as the knights, who sighed in relief
“I’ll be damned… that just took ten years off my life” Gabel, as first to recover his composure, helped her up “Well done It will be difficult to keep enforcing the barrier, so let’s hurry up and get to safety”
He supported her stature with one arm, and quickly led her out of the slope “Everyone, keep yourselves together and follow athered Rem and their horses, ere terrified and stomped in panic Max frantically searched for Riftan in the midst of chaos but he was nowhere to be seen
“Ri-Riftan…”
“He’s with the knights up ahead It seeround only collapsed in the rear ranks and ere the only ones separated frohts out and counted thehts”
The knights hurriedly pulled their horses away from the barrier, which was about to collapse at anythemselves a bit from that place, they were able to see the scale of the landslide Max’s face paled as she gazed at the pile of stones that had alht? They ht?”
“Kindly wait for a th of a finger from his robes and blew on it for a considerable moment Then a sharp sound, siher round Gabel blew the whistle a couple h-pitched whistle echoed from above the mountains
“Everyone ahead is safe”
Max collapsed to her knees Yulysion hurriedly supported her “Are you all right? Perhaps, have you been injured?”
“N-No My l-legs feel tired…”
Actually, her back throbbed in pain froround, but it wasn’t up to the point that she couldn’t ed to pull herself back on her feet with her legs treainst her back She clung on to the horse’s nape, barely standing on both feet even on leveled ground Afterfor a proper distance froic from the barrier, the landslide poured down the e rock Gabel clicked his tongue roughly as he watched
“The road is completely blocked”
“Can’t we just climb over it?”
Gabel shook his head “Thereon the other side, and there is a high chance that more rock will collapse while we climb it”
