Ren's eyes remained locked on Veskar, but he hadn't forgotten Elaria behind him.
Without turning, he called out in a firm tone, "Princess Elaria, can you run?"
Still shaken by the presence of the enemy, Elaria looked at him in confusion. "H-Huh?"
Ren let out a short sigh. There was no time for lengthy explanations. "Sorry, but this might be a bit sudden… Raven!"
A flash of red light shot out from the darkness. In an instant, the mechanical crow with glowing crimson wings dove down at Elaria. Before she could even react, a force field formed around her, and the mini jets from Raven slammed against her body, pushing her forcefully away from the battlefield.
"W-What!?" Elaria cried out as her body lifted off the ground, quickly dragged to safety.
And at that exact moment—
SWOOSH!
A swift thrust aimed straight at Ren's chest.
