After finishing spinning its hammer, the monster vanished from their sight. Only a slowly fading whirlwind remained.
"Vanished?!" Zaefal stopped instantly, his eyes scanning the room warily.
"Ran away?!" Rasie, who had just gotten up from slamming into the wall, spat blood onto the sand. Her face was red with held-back rage. She swung her greatsword impatiently, searching for the enemy's location.
Illya's eyes widened, her head turning quickly from left to right. Her heart pounded as she tried to sense mana fluctuations in the air.
Near the cathedral entrance, Fyar, who had just re-entered, stopped in his tracks abruptly. The hair on the back of his neck stood up.
Sst!
Suddenly, the monster was standing right in front of Fyar's nose. Its wide grin full of white teeth was clearly visible. It thrust its giant hammer straight toward Fyar's chest.
Fyar held his breath. His hands moved as fast as lightning, crossing his katana and pistol in front of his chest.
