"They just keep coming!" Irene exclaimed, her voice edged with fear. She slashed at the creatures with her daggers, but each cut was futile as the creatures reformed almost immediately.
Ethan's eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation. He knew they couldn't keep fighting the creatures endlessly.
"Stay calm," Ethan said, his voice steady. "I think I find their source."
Irene nodded, trying to steady her breathing, but the panic was evident in her eyes. She could feel the creatures pushing them closer to the pool's edge.
Ethan quickly switched tactics. Summoning his Aether Bow, he focused his energy, the weapon materializing with a bright, ethereal glow. He knew that their only chance was to disrupt the source of the creatures, the pulsing light deep within the pool. But the creatures were numerous and relentless, making it nearly impossible to get a clear shot.
