During the Eclipse, the monsters did not appear at once, it was a gradual process that took some time.
This allowed the Phantoms standing in defense of the Citadel or Bastions to prepare themselves for the coming battle.
The Phantoms saw their allies, knew what awaited them, and watched as the first wave of desperate monsters slowly appeared.
However, during a sudden Eclipse, not everyone had that opportunity, certainly not the Phantoms running towards the fortress.
The second squad, the other Phantoms, and Katrin realized this.
'The only way we can get through the gate is to kill Blinding Sylphyre. I will do that and lead these people to victory.'
Not long before the battle began, Alan reported everything he knew about the Blinding Sylphyre, so Katrin immediately went to all weapons.
Crackle.
With a distinct clang, Katrin drew her black sword from her back, striding confidently toward the middle of the bridge.
