This Is Just Training For Them

The maids responded to Mary's orders quickly, arranging themselves to form a wall in between us and the flying monsters.

Weapons and equipment suddenly materialised on them, the front maids holding spears and shields while the ones behind had equipped themselves with bows and arrows.

Where were they hiding those?

Mary gave a command and arrows were loosed, the projectiles shooting faster than what a normal arrow should have been able to move and struck against the horde of shadow monsters in the air.

All of the arrows found their marks, though I wonder if it was just because there were too many targets to miss or because of the archer's skills.

The other monsters let out a shriek and increased the speed of their dive, trying to get to us before all of them were shot down.

The next wave of arrows were fired and more monsters went down, most of them still screaming and screeching as they clawed at the arrow stuck to their body.
