As we went deeper into the enemy lines, we started to get hounded by 9th-stage demons all around. It wasn't safe at all, but with me guarding the front, Fang guarding the left, and Igni guarding the right side, we could still maintain the safety of the others behind.
Namia was the only one who was treated roughly. She was left a few meters behind us to hold the rear alone. Although Fina was able to send support to her every now and then, she was still basically fighting one-against-many.
Unlike before, it was now harder to just mow our way forward. The pace at which we eliminated the 9th-stage demons wasn't enough to prevent them from approaching.
"Everone! Let's step up our game!"
