A flash of light fell from the sky and a thin shield-like structure dropped in front of Ned. It was Darwyn with his knightly skill.
One of the rushing butriki got caught by the shield and made a splattering sound as its head was smashed against the ground. A green and white lump of soft meat scattered on the ground.
Darwyn stood ahead of Ned, blue armor shone and sword unsheathed. Flash of light triggered as he kept on maintaining the shield. Blue sword and armor contrasted its blonde hair.
The rushing beasts piled up in front of Darwyn's spell.
Although Grade E, with their sheer number, and iron ranked hunter like Rickart and Keesha, perhaps Darwyn as well, would have a hard time fighting back.
Eventually, a slightly different in rank would show its worth: difference in training, a master, kinds of skillset and spells, perhaps the difference in resources offered, made higher-ranked hunters valuable.
