After Michelle spoke towards the boulder in front of her, a rumble came from it. The next moment the ground beneath her shook.
The next moment, Michelle felt something fly at her from behind.
She didn't have the time to react, but Nyxaroth and Serith acted quickly. Nyxaroth came out of her body and solidified to create a shield around Michelle, and Serith created a wall of void between Michelle and the thing flying at her.
In the end, it was Nyxaroth who took the hit. But it didn't affect him. He couldn't feel pain in his mist form, and when he solidified parts of the mist, they were more like weapons than his own body. The only way he could feel pain was when he was in his human form, or when someone tore off a part of his solidified body.
Quickly assessing the situation, Michelle narrowed her eyes. The city had tricked her. From the start, there wasn't just one monster that had its eyes on her.
