Zach dodged an incoming strike, Arthur weaved in striking from behind him.
The duo attack pattern seem to weave in perfectly with each other, using the jagged rocks and Icy terrian to their advantage.
Zach ducked, narrowly avoiding a swipe of the lindworms tail.
Arthur jumped, slashing at it's knees joints.
The monster thrashed, it's two hind legs leap toward Zach with a sudden burst of motion.
Zach remained calm, in these situation any false calculation could lead to sudden death.
He rolled to the side, and the beasts jaw missed by a wide margin.
Arthur used this opportunity to launch in but before he could lad a hot another monster intercepted him, using it's powerful tail it launch a sweeping attack.
Arthur had no time to react, he could only raised his blade to block. The hit collided on his side, few bones shattered on the impact.
'Argghh".
Arthus body was send tumbling down on the snow.
"Arthur!". Zach called out panicked.
In the distance Eli stood, looking around.
She was surrounded by four of those death wrims curling around her, ready to strike.
She took out another red vial from her Inventory gulping the contents.
She could feel her inside being repaired at a quick pace.
Her ability, blade mirage: allowed her to released a devastating explosion of slashes from her body in one go, it was extremely effective, especially when fighting multiple foes.
The skill was devastating, and so we're the drawbacks.
Everytime she unleashes the skill her internal organs rupture, the slashes came from within her and all her insides get damaged.
But she found her way around that, making sure to bring as many bottles of healing potions as possible.
The monsters jumped in aelinelis bosw glowed once again.
'Astra skill-Lighting blade, thunder strike'
The blazing thunder in the dark skies trailed off hiting Eli blade.
And at the same time.
'Inate skill- blade mirage'
This blast of slashes sent waves of golden bladed energy in all directions, cracking with thunderous might.
*Boom* the monsters were paused back, some bleed profusely, through multiple gashes riddled over their body.
Eli waved her sword again.
'Astra skill, Lighting blade: Thunder assault'
Lighting erupted from her blade as she charged at the monsters slashing with all heright at its head.
The thunder blade went theought it's scalp, but stopped half way.
"Dammit! " she gritted.
The monster enraged gaze fell on her swinging it's head.
Eli refused to let go of the blade so she was thrown several feet in the air.
With the blade in her hand she placed her left hand on her right shoulder aiming the blade at the monster.
[Astra skill, Lighting blade: THUNDER SHOT]
*Bam*
The monster head exploded into a blood mist as a single steak of lightning travelled faster than anyone could process, covering the world in light for a second like a flash bang grenade.
Eli landed in he feet, blade stretched, in front of her sever monsters, all badly wounded looked at her with raged and fire.
Behing her the monster she just killed laid dead on the floor, lifeless.
"The cadets all seeing this fought with even more grit and motivation"
The battle ground was sieving out the weak.
Aurora held her ground against multiple death wrim, assisted closely by grey
Zach rant to Arthur's side Shielding him from the two abominations.
"Are you okay". Zach looked back.
Arthur held his waist, bleeding.
"Nah.. I'll be fine.." Arthur sarcastically stated.
"Really..?"
"Hell no.."
Zach couldn't believe that Arthur was joking at this crucial moment.
Zach stood in his front, brandishing his blade against the two monsters.
"I Can manage" Arthur manges to get back up on his feet.
"What about your injury..?"
Arthur grinned and raised his shirt up.
The wound was completely gone, the waist was completely intact, just blood smeared on his skin.
"That's my inate ability..". Arthur grinned.
So Arthur inate ability was instant healing.
Zach was perplexed.
One of the monsters lounged forward and Zach activated this crimson overdrive.
Zach blade flashed green as he ducked it's charging figure, swinging his blade at the creatures neck.
The blacked collided digging it's the monsters steel flesh.
"Lunar veil!." Zach shouted
The blade burst with slashes, in the monster inside exploding with a chunk of flesh.
The monster staggered back, roaring in pain..
The other death wirm had attacked but Arthur intercepted.
This was Zach chance.
He gripped the blade, blood seeped out of his eyes, swinging down with blade with all his might.
[Crescent slash]
The blade travelled in a straight arc, towards the monsters mouth.
The blade hit it's mouth tearing it half way in.
The monster wiggled violently but Zach was determined.
[Cosmic ring]
He activated a skill in a skill, tearing the monster body in half horizontally.
[Congratulations!, You Have Killed The ???? DEATH WRIM]
He wiped the blood off his lips, standing above the dead monster.
Zach instantly charged into help Arthur.
**
Aurora, the cold princess stood above multiple dead corpses of the death wrims, her golden spear wet with their blood.
She looked around calmly.
Grey was a few meters out, cuts riddled all over his body as he grabbed on of the monsters severed head.
She walked over to him.
The entire battle field was riddled with corpses l, both of humans and of monsters.
The truly powerful cadets were the only ones remaining.
More than a hundred of them.
Some summoned family treasures, some used gods fragments.
But overall they weren't dying as fast as they were a few minutes ago.
The battlefield was a chaotic and brutal scene, a stark contrast between the icy, jagged terrain and the visceral signs of futile combat.
The snow was no longer white; itbwas stained red with blood.
Liittered with the dismembered bodies of both cadets and monsters, several severed limbs and monstrous heads scattered across the ground.
The air was thick with the scent of blood.
The ground is torn up in places, gouged by powerful strikes and explosions from the earthquakes.
"How long.." Zach gasped for air looking at Arthur.
"29 more minutes" he stated.
They had been at it for just a few minutes and Zach already felt like it had been an eternity.
