Chapter 28

The Seeker crossbow on Zaria’s porch opened fire as the giant balehen charged in. With the added accuracy of the enchantment, it could hardly miss - especially against a foe nearly as massive as Zaria was herself.

The flock diverted to the side, heading towards the mimics and Vysala. Zaria could only shout a warning, then had to brace herself for impact. She turned her finger towards the giant balehen and let loose a cackle, adding her own magic to the arrows. Both provided a barrage of assaults against the monster. Against the onslaught, a lesser balehen would have crumbled in an instant.

This was no lesser balehen. This was two tons of enraged chicken that feared no dungeon nor god, and knew no mercy, only chaos.

The giant balehen slammed into Zaria, goring the side of her hut with its horn eyes and sending Zaria stumbling to the side. The ground shook with every step as she tried to keep herself upright. For one deadly moment, it looked like she would fall, teetering on one talon, and the giant balehen lunged in, trying to take advantage of her precarious posture.

Then Zaria whipped out the talon that wasn’t on the ground in a sideways swipe, slashing the balehen across the face. She drew a couple of thick lines of blood, and the massive creature leapt back, squawking in indignation. The worms that filled the creature rose up to its face, sealing the injury, but first blood was Zaria’s.

Seeing how useless her cackle was against this monstrosity, Zaria turned her finger to the battlefield, casting it blindly and cackling at the smallest balehens that fluttered through the air. Against those small creatures, her blows could shatter bones and send them plummeting to the earth, where they were trampled by the larger combatants.

Still, the giant balehen charged in, crowing its rage. Zaria leapt back to gain some distance, lashing out with her talons at the giant’s side and forcing it to step quickly to avoid her.

She needed more weapons. It had never occurred to her that the death of her mobs in the battle would be a good thing, but right now, she needed every advantage she could get. And since command had been freed up already…

Zaria spun up a pair of uncommon crossbow mimics on the roof alongside her, each with a moon heart. They immediately turned on the balehen, but before they could open fire, the behemoth caught Zaria off guard. The beast’s tail whipped around, smacking into Zaria’s side and sending her staggering again. The balehen moved like lightning, charging in and ducking under Zaria’s countering kick. It came up under Zaria, driving its eye horns into her underside, further unbalancing her.

Before it could send her to the ground, the crate mimics she’d kept inside sprung out from the trapdoor, their tongues lashing out to wrap around the balehen’s throat and shoulders to pull them in. They were only Tin ranked mobs, but their bites were still doing some damage, and the Balehens squawked in indignation, thrashing to try to free itself of the assailants.
