They moved all at once, without giving him any time to think or even plan for the situation.
The first wave hit.
A six-legged wolf lunged its jaws wide open, and he stabbed it in its open mouth, slicing upwards. A second followed, and he stepped through it.
Something heavier slammed onto his side, Atheline staggered barely keeping his footing as its claws ripped through his robes narrowly missing his back.
Everything around him was like a frenzy each beast trying to get a piece of him.
Atheline attacked just as frenzied using both his weapons and body to defend against them.
His gaze assessed trying to find an opening but none.
They pressed in from every direction.
He fired a shot point-blank into somethings skull. Another slammed onto his back, forcing him to drop to one knee.
"Tch."
'Too many'
He forced himself up again, twisting, cutting moving but every strike was slower than the last.
