The moment Layla's arrow left her fingers, and shot through the air, Erin's sword was flying towards her direction. The force of the throw had flung Layla back, and pinned her into the ground.
Meanwhile, the firebomb arrow had whizzed past the dalki, and for a moment it really did seem like it missed, until it whirled around and corrected itself to land into the dalki's back.
Instantaneously, the arrow exploded, a plume of fire enveloping the entirety of the dalki's upper waist. Erin felt the roaring heat on her face, only mere feet away from the explosion.
The sheer power of an intermediate tier arrow had been used all at once, not split into three separate shots, and once the smoke cleared away, the full extent of the damage was visible for all to see.
The dalki, initially standing tall and proud, now staggered, and fell to his knees.
