Atlas dashed through Soren's soldiers as they attacked from every direction. He sidestepped, blocking with his spear, redirecting their attacks with swift, fluid movements, and drove his blade deep into one soldier's chest. Another enemy lunged at him from behind, but a chain blade suddenly whipped out, piercing cleanly through the attacker's skull.
Blood splattered across Atlas's arm. His pulse thundered, adrenaline surging in this brutal, life-or-death battle.
He glanced to his side as Kurogasa joined him. "My Lord, I'm here."
In a blur, Kurogasa split into five duplicates, engaging enemies from multiple angles, fending off strikes to keep Atlas's path clear.
Without hesitation, Atlas pressed forward, heading straight for the fortress, where Raze fought fiercely, his massive fists hammering against the thick walls as he attempted to break through.
