Athoi teleported ahead, running toward those creatures. "Stay on defense, dodge when you can!" she shouted.
Nabil charged after her, but as he ran, Athoi suddenly teleported far behind him. Confused, he glanced back. "Athoi?"
Before he could react, a massive hand wrapped around his body, lifting him off the ground. The giant had caught him. Nabil struggled, his sword slipping from his grasp.
He looked to Athoi for help, but to his shock, she wasn't rushing to his aid. Instead, she stood in the distance, smirking as the giant's grip tightened.
"What... what's going on?" Nabil gasped, realizing something was terribly wrong.
Nabil's mind raced as he felt the Giant's grip tighten around him.
His thoughts scrambled, confusion blending with fear as he caught sight of Athoi in the distance. But it wasn't the chaos around him that shook him—it was her smirk. Why was she smiling at a moment like this?
