Blue Mana: 8/100

The Sprite could not maintain the Smoke Mist much longer.

"Release it," Carlos shouted. "Save your mana!"

Blue wanted to protest but lowered both hands. The mana exhaustion was getting to it now and it was fully made of mana.

The mist stopped moving and the last seventy-one locusts rose above the smoke.

They gathered into one group and flew toward the Tidal Silverwood. Its blue-veined leaves contained more mana than every other crop and the whole swarm wanted it.

One fired, the Water Shot eliminated several, but the rest continued.

Carlos was too far away to do much but Brann on the other hand thought less and threw his hammer.

The enormous weapon spun through the air and passed through the swarm.

Dozens of locusts broke apart.

The hammer struck the ground beside the tree without touching it. If it did, Carlos knew he needed to eat some bear meat dishes.
