Chapter 297: The Bolt In The Sky
"Holy sh*t, they don't have any faces!" He screamed.
"What do you mean?" Nikolai enquired from the other side.
"Just that, they're walking headless bodies. They have no heads, just a weird neck that seemed to be burnt from the top to keep whatever was inside, inside." He explained as best he could.
"What?" This only served to confused Nikolai further.
"They don't have heads." He said with finality, not willing to say anything more.
He wasn't frightened of the thing, he just encountered something really unexpected. The sight took him by surprise, so he was utterly surprised.
The titans kept the chunks of ice coming, only now it seemed they had minds of their own. They also grew wings, with big fangs to go with them. They resembled bats, only icy and much bigger.
Hiro wasn't using his axe, he had his shield in front of him. He'd concocted a binding liquid, which he used to clean his shield back then. It wasn't guaranteed it would work, he let them hit his shield in hopes they will pile up on it, stuck.
Although it worked, he could feel that it wouldn't hold them off for very long. There was nothing he could do other than slamming his shield on the ground to kill them. But he was hesitant, this was a special item, he didn't want to give it unnecessary damage.
It only took but a split second, a mana arrow jerked him out of his train of thought. Surprisingly it didn't completely incinerate him and his surroundings, just the targeted enemies.
"Isla, that was dangerous!!!" He yelped.
She grinned in reply not having stopped taking the ones in the sky, a bunch of them at a time. In the form she was in, she could control the arrow down to its particles.
If something wasn't the intended target, it wouldn't harm everyone else. They could've been standing side by side, it still would obey. Isla was very happy with the skill, but sad at the same time that the form drained too much mana so she didn't have the luxury to be impressed.
Far in the front of the line, the trio was too close for comfort. So much that if anything were to happen, if the titans could drop a skill they hadn't seen, they'd have difficulties falling back.
Ishaan had a couple of bites from the bats-like monsters. Every time they sunk their fangs into his hard but soft skin, he felt a numbing effect. Which was quickly banished by a simple heal from mostly Saanvi.
"The effects of the fangs are close to paralytic effects." He yelled warning his teammates.
What he hasn't realised was the fact that none of them were getting bit. Not even the priests. He was the only one who wasn't a guardian amongst them, and he'd forgotten.
They didn't try to correct him, they heeded his warning and made sure that they weren't bit. Isaac had two weapons, a sword and a staff.
He only took out the staff when he realised having two weapons on both hands would be much useful. His staff was very similar to those of priests, since he was a battle mage.
He was embarrassed to be seen working the staff. As that would look like he was copying Kiro. But nobody there paid him any mind, nobody wondered how he used two weapons. They either didn't care or knew that it had to do with his subclass.
Nonetheless, he was moving smoothly on the battlefield. Ensuring he didn't stray too far since he was part of the triangle formation. For some reason, he was taking this more seriously.
They arrived at the perfect distance to attack the titans. They left the ice creatures to their teammates, and they started attacking indiscriminately.

Isaac looked majestic as he swirled in the air, attempting to cut up their tendons but failing miserably. Their skins were too thick, and the sword wasn't all that great.
Hiro took out a legendary blade and without a word, threw it at Isaac. He caught it and was surprised to realise what it actually was, he had a grateful look. Though Hiro didn't wish to hear it.
"Bring it back when done." He said curtly, focusing in front of him. He now has his axe on his hand.
Isaac nodded briefly and started his strategy again. The blade was light yet its blows were very heavy. It didn't obstruct his movements like the old one he used.
The archers were aiming for the torsos now. Kiro used air step once more, but this time he remained at torso level. He could feel their hearts working, the blood was flowing keeping these things alive.
He summoned lightning, the clouds became much greyer, they almost made the entire area dark. Then, lightning descended on the unsuspecting targets. But this did nothing to damage their hard exterior, it only served as entertainment since it tickled them.
"What's this god playing at? If it's not an endless horde, it's three beings who may just be as powerful as gods. What the hell are we supposed to do in this situation?" He asked the question to himself, nobody could hear his complaints.
Hiro looked up, astonished out of his mind. The minute Kiro's lightning lit up the skies, he saw something. A lightning bolt roaming the skies. He watched it go from left to right, to almost disappearing and shining back bright like a beacon again.
Nobody had taught him how to infuse the elements with the things he created, he just thought it'd be a really good boost for the weapons and armours. And he wasn't wrong.
"I must have it."
