Chapter 1043

“SHIELDS!” Advant shouted, her pheromones washing over the entire area in a mighty burst.

The two mages, thankfully, were quick to respond and a shield sprang into being around the large soldier, mere moments before the mess of vines engulfed her completely.

Now dripping wet, Advant fumed silently for a moment before deciding she could no longer hold it in.
