Vale and Toy couldn't see the melee, but they could definitely hear it.
A mixture of snarls and growls was followed by shrieks of pain and devilish laughs. The crash of stalagmites dropping to the ground and shattering.
The sound of constant scratching mixed with the furious clamor of metal being slammed against the flowing gemstone sash. The whooshing sound provided by Salome's Quillstorm reverberated and reached Vale's ears.
The two women who shared scorn for the other hadn't spoken a word since the battle started — no shouts of affirmation, remorse, or terror.
But, while Vale wasn't able to witness the fierce battle raging on the other side of the wall or the appearance of the enemies, he could imagine how it was going by the terrifying mushing of flesh.
The two women were in no way losing to their enemies. They couldn't be. Not with their silence when compared to their attackers' screams.
