A huge shadow started to appear behind Alyssa, who was holding Asher.
Alyssa brought Asher closer as various ice daggers started to revolve around her; blood was dripping from the edge of her eyes right now.
Numerous small ice shards shot out, killing two or three Kirons, but something weird happened. Due to her intense headache and pain, Alyssa could not even see around her.
She buried her head in Asher's hair as her hands trembled while she used all of her mana to somehow kill the monsters.
Normally, the Kirons would have dodged those attacks, or at least a few more would have survived, but no monster was moving even an inch.
An ominous presence permeated the air, and the monsters halted in their tracks. From the inky blackness of the shadows, a single colossal eye emerged, the vibrant, blood-red hue of its iris piercing the gloom. The eye's elliptical pupil narrowed, exuding an air of mystery and an unsettling aura.
