The next instant, hundreds of Drath were closing in on us like hungry beasts.
They packed the entire cave in front of us.
A few of them gripped tightly to the wall, their petal-like mouths opened wide.
"Nella!"
Lowering my body, I yelled, gripping the hilt of my katana with both hands, bringing it parallel to my face.
But even though there were a lot of them, the cave wasn't big enough to let them pass through all at once.
"I will support you from behind!"
She said, knocking an arrow in her bow.
I nodded, noticing the first batch rushing toward us, a group of five Drath.
Taking a deep breath, I prowled towards them.
My speed was faster than anyone could ever achieve within my rank.
Because of using Neplh and Muspelh to temper my body, I had already broken away from the norms of ranking.
Drawing in mana from the surroundings through my runes, I accelerated my speed, leaping off the ground.
