Chapter 418: Threat Neutralised
Back when Fruder and Vexi retreated toward Uraan to catch their breath, he instantly realised something was wrong. Their retreating pattern was strange—two moving toward him and two toward Lyra at the same time.
Thus, he moved in the nick of time, catching sight of them drawing needle-like daggers—he darted straight toward Lyra, who was still oblivious. Without hesitation, he used wind magic to accelerate, swept her up, and leapt upward, only to see the two men by her side slash through empty air where Lyra had just been standing with the same dagger.
As for why Lyra allowed Uraan to pick her up—it was simple. She hadn't even been able to react to the sudden turn of events.
She was about to scold and snap at Uraan when she caught sight of the missed attack and realised something was wrong.
"Thank you," she said, her voice steadying as Uraan lowered her behind him onto the tree branch he stood on.
