I counted five total.
And I couldn't kill any of them.
"Fucking ass bitch shit motherfucker."
I swore quietly under my breath, though, spamming it like a Texan and tightened my grip on the shield.
"C'mere then you ugly sonovabeaches."
I intercepted the first two before they got too close, letting them bashed against my shield, felt like I was holding back a whole tsunami. The system pinged me with aggro markers, but that didn't stop the others from circling wide.
Hailie remained knelt, eyes closed, lips moving.
Yeah, ignorance is bliss, you deaf slut.
Okay now I'm just being rude, sorry.
The spirit floated around her now, circling, speaking in broken phrases that echoed:
"You are… Hailie. Follower of the Goddess… You do not understand this place. You do not understand me." She said, audibly intrigued in a weird way, "But you reach, even when in silence…."
"Do you know what they did to me? Do you care?"
Wait, can Hailie hear those words?... Wasn't she deaf?
