Waiting for Greenie and the others to finish fighting so that they could help them, was not as simple or easy as it seemed to be. The monsters were relentlessly charging at and attacking Reign and the others with the sole purpose of killing them.
Being on the defensive would not work as the seemingly mindless monsters didn't care about anything else other than to kill them, which meant that fighting with everything they had and going on the offensive was much more effective in this case.
Reign's lightning was on full display as he used his speed to its fullest, moving around the monster and inflicting minor injuries with his normal attacks. In this way, he was able to occupy the monster and keep its attention on him, allowing the others to attack it with their skills.
