Silent Trail

The Forsaken smashed its tail on the ground, forcing Luna to retreat. It then quickly headed toward her, opening its mouth wide to tear her apart.

Before it was able to reach her, a whip-like blade slashed its left side, pushing it away. Luna used this chance and returned to Sia's side, who had turned her blade into a metal whip using the soul artifact originating from the Armored Leechworm.

The ponytail girl reattached her dislocated shoulder with a grimace. She uttered while glancing at the elf.

"We can't keep doing this...if we can't reach its weak point then there's no way to win."

Sia silently looked at her for a moment, then she opened her mouth but was interrupted by a feminine voice coming through the communicator.

{...H-hello. Can you hear me?}

Luna and Sia seemed puzzled as they ran away from the Komodo. The former pressed the intercom in her ear and asked.

"Mina?"

The other side replied.

{Yeah, it's me.}
