Mage taskforce VS Killer Mantis!
Once past the city gates, little direction was necessary—the mages needed only to look ahead of them, into the Outlands, to see the gigantic silhouettes wreaking havoc, headed toward Emillion. The taskforce members split into several smaller teams and dispersed, each picking an enemy at random. The mages had no fighters to back them up, but they had the forces of nature on their side. A much more valuable ally.
"Do not hold back," Toku said to the group he led. "Get them before they can do any real damage. Their advance stops here."
The Killer Mantis before them reared for an attack, and Toku started chanting Hasteja. Speed would be key in the battle—and after, there would be plenty of time to ponder where these beasts had come from, and all the other as yet unsolved mysteries that had cropped up in the past months. Now, they fought.
