"There's no end to these guys!" Janica shouted, her voice laced with frustration as she dodged another shadowy creature lunging at her.
"Damn it…" Lucas muttered under his breath.
He took a quick glance around the battlefield, eyes narrowing as he saw more of the shadow creatures crawling out from the darkness, regenerating just as quickly as they were being destroyed.
The constant onslaught was wearing him down, but they couldn't afford to lose focus now. Too many lives were depending on them.
"Janica!" he yelled, his voice firm despite the exhaustion creeping in. "Gather everyone toward the eastern road! Prioritize the children and the injured first!"
"But—" Janica started, hesitating.
She knew Lucas was strong, but facing this endless horde on his own was reckless.
"Hurry!" he snapped, cutting off any further protests as he swung his sword in a powerful arc.
SWOOSH!
