WHOOSH!
A massive fireball came flying toward the soldiers immediately after Rowan finished his speech with them. It was nighttime, and its sudden arrival easily alerted everyone, including Black Drifter.
Black Drifter acted right away, moving away from its current location and darting straight toward the massive fireball.
[ Your pet activated SHIELD ]
As Black Drifter darted toward it, he activated his defensive spell, causing a powerful wind magic shield to appear around his body.
BOOM!
A large, explosive sound vibrated across the area as Black Drifter collided with the fireball, taking the damage instead of the soldiers at whom it was targeted.
Its wind magic shield absorbed the impact of the fireball and dispersed it completely.
Collective gasps and sighs of relief were released following the heroic action of Black Drifter.
If Black Drifter hadn't reacted, at least twenty of them would have died following the impact of the fireball.
