Ancient Dragon’s Orenda

A girl launched up into the air using the momentum of her teammate, then rebounded off a monsters head with incredible speed. Twirling her hammer in mid-air, she brought it down onto a manticore- SLAM -the beast swatted her away.

Sprawling, the girl sat up and coughed before spitting out blood and a tooth from the damage she received. ”Damn it, the boss monster is stronger than I thought! ”

Slice! A blonde man swiftly made his way to his party member and cut down a monster pouncing at her. ”Amber! Not the time to be complaining! ”

”Right Captain! Elijah could use some help here! ” Amber indicated, annoyed that despite what the healer claimed, he was slow to take the hint.

Amber growled with frustration before scanning the battlefield for the incompetent healer.

”Elij- NO WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING! ”

”Whats going on? ” the man asked, busy covering for Amber.

”That moron of a healer broke the formation! ” the girl gnashed.

The pincer movement is a military maneuver in which forces simultaneously attack both flanks of an enemy formation. This was a classic but effective way to slay beasts in a restricted area.

Elijah, the healer was a supporting role who was supposed to prioritise helping the front line of defence yet fled his position due to fear.

Or at least so they thought.
