Rhea did not question Rhys. She distorted the water pillar below her to dash to the side as instructed.
At that moment, a girl with long purple hair and two furry cat ears tore through the air, right where the two were previously standing.
There was a blissful smile on the girl's face.
"Teach me how to fly toooo!~"
It was Layla.
She had noticed the fight going on between Apollo and the two mages. As such, she jumped in, reaching out her hands in an attempt to grab both Rhys and Rhea.
Unfortunately, Rhys was able to notice the distortion in the air caused by Layla. As such, he was able to give a warning, allowing him and his partner to dodge in time.
After a brief moment of floating in the air, Layla plummeted back down to the ground. Although she could jump really high, she couldn't fly, as much as she wanted to.
Once Layla slammed into the ground with a bang, a frown emerged on Rhys' face.
