Every remaining Thornwalker in the room went berserk at the same time.
The ones near the crystal fragments charged in every direction without coordination. Two of them ran into each other and tangled their vine arms. Three more sprinted toward Mel who was still standing next to the shattered crystal.
"MEL GET BACK!"
Fury intercepted two before they reached her and Rury sent the third flying with a swipe. Mel scrambled backward, tripped over a crystal fragment and fell on her ass.
Eren was already cutting through the berserking Thornwalkers but these ones had no coordination or chain formations anymore. It was just raw aggression now, faster and wilder than before, like destroying the crystal had removed whatever was holding them back.
He killed twelve in the next minute while attacks came at him from five directions at once. Thorns scratched his arms and back but nothing broke his skin. His endurance turned what should have been deep cuts into surface marks.
