Secrets of the Altar (3)

Laia's ear-piercing howl rang in the air and made Blue's hair stand on ends. She felt her feet and hands went numb with fear. Even a Grand-ranked beast is no match for the elemental. How could they defeat such a frightening foe? Her eyes looked for the girl beside her. "Master?"

Metal grated into metal. She winced when her sword did not even make a dent on the torso. Her eyes swept through Laia. Her face went stiff when she saw the ice hugging Laia's belly. The blood rabbit's eyes were closed and there was only a faint foggy breath from her nose indicating that she is still alive. 'Laia is freezing!'
