By the time the battle ended, a pool of blood about five centimeters deep had flooded the gallery in which Jake and Lu Yan were standing. A mountain of corpses had been erected in front of and behind them as monsters kept pouring in from both sides of the corridor.
At first, Jake had taken advantage of the pileup and the turmoil in the enemy's ranks to slaughter them, but soon another tide of enemies had caught them in a pincer movement, blocking the other side of the gallery. Lu Yan, who thought she could escape the battle, was forced to join in and it turned out that she was not as badly off as she claimed.
She was wounded many times, of course.But after being sprayed with Flint red blood on numerous occasions, a reddish glow had started pulsating behind her dark golden iris and her lucidity had then been given way to an unstoppable killing wrath.
