BOOM
The beast crashed into the outer slope, breaking its neck on the rocks.
But…
Those who saw what happened—
They did not celebrate it.
They… could not celebrate it.
They just watched a man fall to his death with a big, wide smile on his face, how could they possibly smile when they saw a sight like that?
Something was not right.
Something was not right at all.
"DO NOT FALTER!"
That's when Korvath screamed.
"CONTINUE!!!"
And this time, translators weren't needed to translate those words, every person who heard Korvath's voice was pulled out of his reverie. The horrific sight they just saw was eerie, but they didn't have the time to be stuck on it.
They needed to keep moving.
So they moved.
More nets were fired into the air, some missed, one net opened too early and fell uselessly into the snow, another caught only the tail of a flying beast, slowing it for a moment but not enough to bring it down.
But one caught a rider.
