Chapter 35 - The quest to continue with 3

„if the stick is big enough why isn't it a tree"

Beatly noises echoed through the woods.

Shook the trees and caused a leave avalanche.

Aries spine felt mushy, like it was made of paper and glue like a school art work.

Finn , so cocky and ego normally, was obviously not that anymore.

No jokes, just straight look in the unknown.

Sword out, carefully held by his gloved hands.

-classic formation, Caya shoot when the champion is focused on the front. –

She put the arrow on the chord and waited.

The giant foot emerged, with the rest of its massive body .

Holding a tree as a weapon and animal pelts as primitive clothings.

The goblin champion. 4 meter tall monstrosity of unnatural origin.

-Haaaaaaaaaaaa – Arron charged into the champion, stopping it barely.

-NOW – Finn joined in the charge aiming at its tendons.

-Cover me will you? – the robed fellow asked kindly.

Aries looked at her and tried to understand what she was doing.

And she was doing some weird things in the middle of a fight.

Like chanting and waving her hands aimleslly in the air.

While her friends/ comrades were barely getting any damage done.

Skin wasn`t hard but thick. And almost scaly, like a lizard.

Arron may be strong and big. For a human that is.

Strong enough only to stop one leg.

-FINN hurry this thing is big.- He shouted, while having his face stuck in the goblin`s leg.

And yes Finn was hurrying in that moment.

But still, it wasn`t their only problem.

One champion on for human adventurers? No problem.

But champion and a whole squadron of little ones? And they had to protect a newbie?

Not so easy anymore.

And yes, maybe Aries killed 2 already but that didn`t make much difference.

-IM RUNNING LOW GUYS – Caya tried to tell the others

- almost… there…. - silent voice was heard behind Aries.

Finn finally got the giant`s leg unusable.

He turned around and after a quick glance gave an order.

-ON THE GROUND – Arron followed the order

just as he was about to be crushed by wood of the giant.

Aries also unknowingly fell down, Caya had to pull him down.

~WHYYY THERE ARE GOBLINS AT MY HEAD NOW ~ but she didn`t let him go up.

And the reason wasn`t known until he looked at robes.

For her clothing changed drastically.

White and pinch of very light cyan, waving in the air.

Cold air, leaves frozen around joined by an icy thread.

Like a new tree sprouting from her body. A tree of ice.

Leaves grew out crystals of ice on them.

And bigger and bigger, turning each floating one into and Ice spike.

White tree turned into a crystal spike trap, beautiful and deadly.

And the women in the middle of all of that, stood still ,like all around her.

Breath in, caused a small smoke on here face.

And she proclaimed like there was nothing going on.

Like she was writing a poem and presenting it in front of a noble audience.

She let her hands out, puffed her chest out, let her voice out.

ICE BARRAGE

And in the blink of an eye all broke apart, like a shattered glass.

The leaves of the magic tree were found in bones and skin, eyes and legs of every standing thing around them.

Screams of pain , monsters voices louder than before.

Goblins fell down one by one, filled with small and big leafy-spikes from cold center of the forest.

And then when all calmed, when all trees were thorny and the freezing left the place.

Silence.
