Although Mindle didn't have that long to prepare her explosive ball of fire, the arrow still flew out with enough power to bend the trees it passed by. The flaming projectile, despite being coated in darkness, still left behind a bright orange light in the air. Proof of how adept Mindle had gotten at using her flames over the past few weeks.
The arrow brushed past Toz with a whooshing sound, ruffling his hair and coat. Despite Toz already running fast, the arrow practically pulled him along with the force of the dragging wind.
Barely more than a second after the arrow had been launched, it struck the Rat King's left shoulder before it could react. The arrow itself made a dull thud on impact, which was then followed by the sound of cracking bones and burning flesh. Although, the sizzling sound was immediately drowned out by the Rat King.
