"Down!"
Lukas yelled, activating [Hex Shield] several times. The cursed energy barriers snapped up in front of them immediately.
In that same instant, the spikes tore through them as if they were made of paper.
Lukas' eyes widened, his heart trembling.
There had been four of them and they were thick as tree trunks, tearing up through the sand and punching through the barriers without slowing, the shields shattering around each one as they passed.
The only reason none of them had been killed by the spikes was that all four of them had already thrown themselves to the ground the moment Lukas had shouted.
Stunned silence filled the air for half a second before Karrakas found his voice, his heart pounding wildly. "That… That was a Spiked Turtle!"
Lukas was already thinking about their next course of action, his eyes narrowed.
