Chapter 137

Holding his shield, which was almost as tall as him, with one hand, Riftan knocked down four undead at once before turning to slice diagonally with his sword. After that, Maxi found she could not follow his blade. His movements were so fluid that it was like watching a hummingbird flapping its wings, frightening and beautiful at the same time.

His armored legs moved nimbly over the snow as he cut down monster after monster. To his left, Ruth was blasting away the undead with wind magic.

"Ruth!" Riftan cried out. "The necromancer controlling them should be nearby! Trace his magic!"

"I already am! But the flow of mana is too bloody expansive!"

Finally pulling herself together, Maxi looked around. The mages' quick actions had kept most of the wagons and horses safe.
