252 Beast Tide (4)

'Now, let's try this out'

His blood flowed out and he tried to shape it…but he failed and the blood fell to the ground.

'Hmm, guess it's not going to be so easy'

He fired more and more poisoned arrows - as he dubbed them - surprising the onlookers once again.

"He was an archer?" they whispered to one another

With his skills, Ezra was shooting and reloading faster than they could follow.

Then, once the quiver was empty, Ezra gave it a retry.

He drew blood and then shaped it into an arrow.

It was hard at first, but Ezra gradually formed it.

At that moment…

"Incoming!"

"Take cover!"

…something flew towards them.

Ezra dropped the bow and pulled out a sword, which he laced with darkness and sliced the incoming projectile.

It was a large boulder.

*Shin!*

The boulder was split in two, but that only reduced a little of the accumulated momentum.

*Smash!*Smash!*

Both pieces smashed against the palisade, disorienting the soldiers and killing more than a few.
