The moment her voice echoed, Arinea and Erunda moved as if practised. The male darted forward just to the left of Ciela's bow while Arinea stood to her back, gathering lightning magic between her fingertips and channelling it to her staff.
"Your magic has improved, princess!"
"I practised hard!"
—Fwoosh!
Ciela's bow rapidly released three arrows, her wrists twisting and pulling back to fire the arrows in between her knuckles several times, each shot tearing through the air, swirling through the forest, as if able to see, approaching the huge monster covered in shadow.
—Bzzzt!
Arinea's hand crackled before a lightning bolt struck from her palm, parallel to the arrows. It flew, and the monster's nostrils flared, snorting at the attack. The lightning bolt and arrows landed in the shadow at the same time.
—Crackle... Boom!
A blinding light filled the darkness as the lightning exploded.
