Chapter 69
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it." Rina mumbled as she bit her nails, her eyes locked on the window of the clan hall, watching the battle unfold outside.
She wasn't the only one inside. Everyone deemed useless and incapable of contributing had been ordered to remain within the safety of the hall, forced to watch the battle anxiously. Each breath carried tension, and each heartbeat sounded louder than the clash of blades outside.
Those fighting were mostly D-ranked Reavers, with a handful of C-rankers leading the charge. Dust clouds rose with every impact, screams and roars mingling in the air.
Aria sat perched by the window beside Rina, her bow drawn and an arrow already notched, her sharp gaze locked on the battlefield. She waited patiently for the right moment, her fingers twitching on the string, eager to release death upon one of the rampaging beasts.
