Try to spot the shooter.

The girl above has shoulder-length, dark blue hair, but you can't make out anything below her neck. What stands out, however, is a pair of antennae on the top of her head. They twitch as she inspects the group from above and reloads a bolt into her crossbow. There's little emotion on her face despite the chaos, like a battle-hardened soldier. "Intruders?" she asks. "How dare you..."

Yin puffs out her cheeks and sprints forwards. "Master!" After a leap into the air, she vanishes into a cloud of smoke.

"Where'd she go?" you quickly ask. Though when you look around, you don't spot her until you hear the sound of the guard grunting in frustration. You turn your eyes up to see Yin grabbing her by the shoulders, and trying to wrestle the weapon out of her hands.

The from your wound stops and so does most of the pain thanks to Amara. You stand up and clench your sword as you look for the stairs to get up and join them. Her crossbow then tumbles from the edge, and shatters as it collides with the hard stone floor not far from yourself.

Good job, Yin. I didn't expect that.

"I can't see from here," Snow says. After sliding the bow over her back, she leaps up onto the wall, and nimbly hoists herself upwards to grab the railing of the second level. She does a flip and lands on her feet, once again drawing her weapon as she disappears from your view.

There are stairs that way. It'll take so long to get up there though.

"Delphi, can you--" But before you can speak, you're cut off by the weight of a girl pulling you down to the ground. A cloud of smoke surrounds you. Just barely, you can peek around to see that Yin is pinning you down onto your stomach, and her face is flushed. You look to the weapon still in your hand, and the metal of the blade is glowing pink.

"Oh, Master~!" Yin shouts. She wiggles her ass back and forth and nestles her forehead against the back of your neck. "D-Did I do well?"

"Huh? Yes you did, now please get off! We're in the middle of a fight!" you reply.

"Can I please receive a reward... Master?" she whispers.

The words make you shiver. "A what? Something happened. Yin isn't usually this forward."

"Please. I'll do anything. Whatever you'd like, Master. I'm you're maid. I'm here to serve."

You glance upwards to see a figure leap from the upper level. Snow follows behind and aims her bow, fires, but the arrow whizzing right. You can see that the blue-haired guard is now flying!

Apart from antennae, she also has a small pair of translucent wings that flutter so quickly that they fill the room with the sound of buzzing. Her sleeveless dress is yellow and black--vertical stripes--and ends at her thighs with a fluffy white hem. It's cut low on the back to make room for her wings. From her elbows to her fingertips, she wears gauntlets, and from her knees to her feet, metal boots to match. Lastly, a small wasp-like abdomen with a stinger at the tip protrudes out from above her behind, pulling up the back of the dress to show a pair of white panties squeezing a perky, tight ass.

She grips a spear with a sharp steel point. "I suppose it's up to me to slay the intruders, for Lord Sa'dis!" Her violet gaze pierces downwards.

A bombus insectrin, like Luna said. It has to be. We're fighting a bee girl.

You allow your connection with the Arcane Eye to break for now.
