(I have to save them all…) Edwin thought.
His body trembled from exhaustion, wounds stinging and bleeding, but he refused to fall.
"Edwin!"
Two voices called out at once, Elysia and Jin.
"We… we're all going to die." Alina whispers to herself. Her hands glowed faintly, but the light sputtered and died.
Her healing magic was gone—her mana completely drained. She looked at her blood-stained palms in despair.
The leading demon looked at them.
Behind him, dozens of other demons crept closer, their black claws dragging along the broken stones with screeching sounds that made everyone's skin crawl.
Their grins widened as they sensed their prey weakening.
The survivors Kael, Jin, Elysia, Alina, Edwin, were barely standing.
"Look at you… so fragile, so small. Your struggle only makes the feast sweeter."
The other demons hissed in agreement, their sharp teeth flashing in the smoky light. They moved as one, preparing to pounce.
Then—
BOOOOOMMMM!
