The Shield Armor Warrior, Russell, was at the forefront at this moment, with no time to block.
Schneider drew his Giant Sword with a 'shoosh', intending to rush forward and intercept, but he paused before taking a step.
A silver cross-shaped light blade flashed across the air.
"Goo~"
A mournful sound, similar to an owl, echoed!
The Ice Owl Bear now bore two crimson, half-meter-long intersecting sword marks on its chest.
The one who struck was none other than the 'Sword Dancer' Meredith, at the rear of the team.
Raine was just about to make a move, but noticing Meredith had already drawn her sword, he hesitated.
At that moment, the Ice Owl Bear, whose sneak attack had failed, appeared fearful. It turned to run in the opposite direction from which it had attempted the ambush, moving swiftly on its stout legs.
Despite its plump figure resembling a large snowball, it was quite fast when running.
"Swish!"
