Chapter 527

• The brute didn't respond. She climbed onto his giant back, and like she was driving a sword into a stone, she used both hands and slammed the sharp bone sideways into the side of the demon's neck, forward enough it got the soft stuff. That got a response.
• The brute stood up, roared and gargled on his own blood, too, and spun around. Mia wasn't there anymore. Brutes had no spikes to climb, and using both hands to stab him meant she fell back onto Vin's legs and tail. Everything turned to chaos as she got up and tried to run away, but Vin's tree-trunk legs and tail bigger than her entire body were kicking and swinging, and she bounced off.
• Bones caught her, hundreds of them, the most uncomfortable surface she could have possibly landed on. Some broke under her, some didn't, and she yelped as more than a few of them tore her skin. She scampered to her feet the moment her ass hit the ground, though, grabbed another big bone, and prepared to defend herself against a nearly nine-foot-tall juggernaut.
