"Not happening!" Shennong protested at what Yenissa had just said. "I know what will happen if I let Rilith and Velara use these tools. They'll end up using blowdarts on each other and putting the capturing net on their own bodies."
"Eeeeeh!" Rilith and Velara understood how little Shennong thought of them and looked rather downcast.
Yenissa wanted to deny it, but she knew that it was true. They always had a way of messing things up. Besides, Shennong was the one who knew how to work the tools.
"Yenissa! Don't underestimate me. I know I don't have monstrous powers like any of you. Without my pickaxe, I might as well be a normal human, but..." Shennong took out a silver sword, which was quite large—a sword somewhere between a greatsword and a broadsword. "I can still fight, and I will fight."
