"Haah!"
Kai's breaths were ragged.
Then—
Grr!
A low, rumbling growl echoed in his ears.
He spun, just in time to see five Thunder Stags standing at few arm's distance, electricity crackling between their antlers, surrounding him in a tightening circle.
Before he could react—
"Now!"
Lina's voice echoed through the trees.
Kai instantly dropped into a crouch.
Whoosh!
Five razor-sharp wind blades sliced through the air above him, slamming into the stags. They staggered back, hooves skidding.
Only for a moment.
But it was enough.
Vex lunged from the side, claws glowing.
[
She slashed through one of the stags' sides, drawing blood.
Grrr!
Two of them roared and charged at her.
But then—
Whoosh!
Vael dove in, wings howling like a storm. His Sonic Dive hit their flanks hard, stunning them for a second.
That was all the time Kai needed.
He flicked his wrists.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two senbons—whistled through the air—burying into joints.
Perfect hits.
