The arrows descended like a cloud of death, piercing the demons into a state of frantic pain. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire The demons screeched and fell to the ground as their limbs were either cut off by the sheer force of the arrows or by a collision with another demon. It became alter chaos, and Cylon had to maneuver himself past them as he attempted to increase his pace, but to his utmost dismay. He couldn't. 'Shit! I'm running out of MP' he thought with a frown on his face as his speed began to decrease. He was unable to keep up with the Carriages, and the fallen demons had begun to turn to him in a fit of rage. Their snouts would cut open, revealing rows of canine teeth and a lengthy tongue. The sight alone sent a shiver of fear to those who laid their eyes on them, but at the moment, he couldn't help but ignore it. He had to find a way to get to the fourth carriage, and somehow make a path for the fifth to catch up from behind. 'This is becoming messy!' he thought when he dodged the snout from a Walking Worm by a hair's breadth. He jumped to the side in an attempt to dodge it when his body was suddenly slammed into the ground. He grumbled in pain as he quickly forced his body back to his feet, ignoring the demons that crawled or walked humorously towards him with their incomplete limbs. 'Shit! Shit! Shit!' He cursed when the demons began to swarm around him from all sides. It was ironic how the demons he attacked with the intent to kill were biting back at him, though without most of their limbs attached. Still, he didn't falter. He dodged and climbed over them, using his arrow if he had to, but the more he fought back, the higher the number of Demons that turned their attention towards him. He was slowly being pushed to his limits, and it became evident from the manner of his breathing and movements. He was getting sluggish, and the demons were closing in on him. He jumped over a fallen demon before being slammed against the ground again. How exactly were they slamming him? It was simple, they would lounge themselves into the air with the sole purpose of crashing into him. Colyn smashed onto the ground with a loud thud, blood spurting from his mouth as he did so. 'Hah, shit' he cursed, struggling to get back up as the demons began to close in. 'Is this the end?!'. He wondered when a wave of energy suddenly grabbed him and pulled him upwards into the air. He gasped in shock when his body was suddenly pulled away from the horde of fallen demons and towards the fourth carriage where his teammates currently were. With a smirk h, he laughed out loud. "Well done, Cruz!" he cried out in excitement as his body was dropped on the Carriage. "What's so funny about you nearly dying? You're lucky I was able to gather up that much mana for a telekinesis skill". Cruz said with a disappointed tone in his voice. He sat on the floor with tired breath, his gaze flickering from the pain and drain. "That was stupid and dangerous. What did you intend on accomplishing just now?" Rodrick asked as he walked towards them. They had a moment of respite thanks to Colyn's skill, but the healthy demons were already on their way to catch up. "I'll take control of the second, Cruz; you handle this one". Cruz nodded while they jumped off the carriage and landed on the ground before rushing off towards the others. He began to quickly take action by walking to the front of it and descending. He landed next to the Coachman, startling him and quickly grabbed the leach from him. "Do Nothing" He instructed the man before taking full control of the horses. 'Let's hope we find somewhere quick enough'. ***** A dark spot in the sky began to descend at a rapid rate until it took its full form of a human body that crashed onto the top of a Rocky Peak. What occurred next were the cries of dying demons, the gruesome sound of flesh being cut, and blood spurting into the air as a lone figure rushed past them like a tsunami. These were mere demons to Raph. 'Nothing more than Canon fodder'. Attacking them precisely at their weak spots was an easy thing, and once you reveal it to others, they take over as well. So Raph expected the others to do the same. Cut off their limbs first, before trying to kill them. It may seem easy at first, but when you're up against a monster as large as a school bus, with sickle-like pedipalps and walking legs that could cut you in two in a second, you realize just how difficult it is to actually pinpoint their weaknesses. Not to mention, they always moved. Raph slaughtered them like chickens as the almost endless swarm began to dwindle from behind the horde, leaving a pile of dead bodies in its wake. He continued on his rampage and imbued his aura onto his blade and body, causing a rapid increase and precision in his attack. 'Firstly, let's make things easier for them' he thought. Of course, he expected them to find a way, but with the rising numbers, there was no telling when they would be pushed beyond their limits, and inevitably to their deaths. 'They're only level 70 after all, they aren't even up to a Master level yet' With this in mind, he continued for what seemed like an inevitably long time, but he was making progress. Each time his blade swung down from the air, a trail of blood and dead bodies would follow. He pushed forward which nearly spammed a whole kilometer or two, until he finally got to the source of it. Standing over a pile of dead bodies, his clothes soaked in red blood, and his sword dripping with their flesh and blood, he came face to face with the Girl with the snake hair, the boy with the murderous look and the portal that served as an entryway for the demons. "Oh, what a pleasant surprise".
