Katolin blocked a spike that tried to pierce Ned behind. To compensate for her low mana, Katolin called off her orbs of lightning and then added another limb. With a pair of limbs attacking and defending, Katolin let out a breath.

S'vokalt roared. The figure inside the big circle dazzled with bright light, then a pair of Evolved Kruthiks emerged from the iron door of the ruined castle.
"Tch!" Rassus hissed, "you're in bad luck here. Three overly massive beasts. Hundreds of smaller ones, and only two of you. The Array isn't working. What now?"
Ned let out a steamy air in his nose. His silver eyes boring the symbols.
