Helena found herself at a loss for words to express her astonishment.
Raven was more than capable of dealing with the thralls, but that didn't mean she wasn't actively engaged.
What had happened was that the moment Northern dove into the battle, the entire place shook tremendously.
Thus, she couldn't help but look ahead of her.
What she saw captured her attention; she stared open-mouthed as Northern unleashed devastating attacks on the colossal horror.
With each strike, the earth scattered, trees flew, and the thralls became the least of their concerns.
Now, they had to focus more on surviving the cataclysm that erupted from every one of Northern's attacks.
And that task required far more energy than dealing with a few mind-enslaved drifters.
At some point, Helena had to stop in her tracks and look back, barely resisting the urge to shout and tell Northern to consider their safety too!
