Chapter 184 The Desperate Retreat
Elisa's sword danced through the air with astonishing speed and precision, each strike aimed with deadly accuracy. The blade glimmered with a radiant light slashing through the ranks of the monsters.
The energy cloud that was produced by Elisa's armor surrounded her crackled and shimmered, pulsating with raw power. It shielded her from the onslaught of claws and fangs, absorbing the impact of each attack. As she weaved through the throng of creatures, the energy blades that floated around her became an extension of her will. They spun and whirled, cutting through the air with a melodic hum, seeking out their targets with unerring accuracy.
With each swing of her sword, a shower of sparks erupted, illuminating the snowy battlefield. The monsters fell before her in waves, their bodies torn asunder by the combination of her masterful swordplay and the ethereal blades that followed her every move. Their wails of agony mixed with the howling wind, creating a haunting symphony of chaos.
As Elisa fought, her focus never wavered. She anticipated the movements of her adversaries, sidestepping their lunges and countering with swift, devastating strikes. Her movements were fluid, like a dancer's, graceful and precise. The energy blades swirled around her, augmenting her attacks, slashing through the monsters with ruthless efficiency.
But even amidst her prowess, the numbers were overwhelming. The monsters pressed in, their sheer mass threatening to overwhelm her. Elisa fought with unyielding resolve, her breath ragged and her muscles aching, but she refused to relent. Her eyes blazed with determination, locked onto her targets, never losing sight of her objective.
Suddenly, a surge of energy pulsed through Elisa's being. She tapped into her deepest reserves, channeling the storm of power within her. The air crackled with low waves as she unleashed her skill. Raising her sword high above her head, she commanded the energy blades to converge, forming a swirling vortex of razor-sharp light.
*Sword Strom*
Elisa swung her sword downward, releasing the tempest of energy that had gathered around her. A storm of sharp energy blades erupted from her blade, tearing through the ranks of monsters with devastating force. The ground trembled beneath the onslaught, and the air filled with the shrieks of the vanquished.
Crack!!
Amidst the relentless battle, Elisa's keen eyes caught sight of the massive crack in the ice that had swallowed Fray. Thousands of monsters followed in its wake, drawn to the chasm.
"..."
Determined to save her Master, she fought her way toward the edge. However, the relentless swarm of monsters surrounded her, preventing her from reaching Fray's side.
Realizing the futility of her efforts in the face of overwhelming odds, Elisa made a swift decision. She raised her voice above the cacophony of battle, issuing a command to the Parada knights.
"Retreat! Rally together!" Elisa's voice rang out, carrying a sense of urgency and determination.
Hearing Elisa's order the group of knights started to retreat back as fast as they can, among the group, a small contingent of Parada knights stood out as they were separate from the main group. Four spirits accompanied them, their presence lending an otherworldly aura to the scene.
A towering spider spirit, its legs glistening with a menacing hue, cast a foreboding shadow. Beside it, a majestic lion spirit radiated power and regality. And there, a faceless monster spirit exuded an air of mystery and unpredictability. Lastly, a spirit that took the form of a mighty hammer crackled with raw energy.
As the group fought their way through the relentless horde, their spirits fought alongside them, adding their formidable powers to the fray. The spider spirit spun its webs, ensnaring monsters in its intricate traps. The lion spirit pounced upon its foes, tearing through their ranks with awe-inspiring strength. The faceless monster spirit unleashed chaotic energies, causing confusion and disarray among the monsters.
Amidst the chaos, the knight wielding the hammer spirit, known as Gareth, emerged as the pillar of strength and determination. His armor, adorned with intricate engravings, glowed with an inner radiance. Sweat streamed down his forehead as he swung his hammer with unparalleled skill and precision.
"Stay close!" Gareth bellowed to his comrades, his voice resonating through the storm. "We must reach safety! Protect one another!"
The knights formed a defensive formation, their shields interlocking as they pushed back the advancing horde. Gareth's hammer crashed down upon the monsters, sending shockwaves through the ground. Each strike reverberated with a thunderous boom, momentarily driving back the encroaching creatures.
But the horde was unrelenting. They clawed and gnashed at the knights, their numbers seemingly endless. Gareth fought with unwavering resolve, his eyes ablaze with determination. His hammer cleaved through the monstrous ranks, the sheer force of his blows shattering their bodies and scattering them like broken dolls.
But the monsters relentlessly pressed on, their numbers seemingly endless. Realizing the dire situation, Gareth made a selfless decision.
"Retreat! I will stay and hold them off!" Gareth called out, his voice tinged with sadness yet unyielding resolve.
The knights hesitated, torn between their desire to stay and fight alongside their comrades and the need to ensure the survival of the group. With heavy hearts, they nodded in understanding, their tear-filled eyes speaking volumes of their gratitude.
Gareth turned back to face the horde, his grip tightening around his hammer. The monsters closed in, their slavering jaws hungry for his flesh. He fought with all his might, his every strike a testament to his unwavering dedication.
Amidst the chaos, one knight, tears streaming down his face, cast a final look back at Gareth. "Thank you, my friend! We will remember your sacrifice!" he called out, his voice choked with emotion.
Gareth nodded, a solemn smile touching his lips. "Go!"
As the group retreated, their footsteps heavy with grief, Gareth stood alone against the relentless horde. With a resounding battle cry, he unleashed his final onslaught, his spirit companion amplifying his every strike. The monsters closed in, their numbers overwhelming.
In the distance, the knight's figure was swallowed by the sea of monsters, his hammer's thunderous impact fading into the storm. The knights pressed on, their hearts burdened with the weight of their fallen comrade's sacrifice.
As the Parada family knights finally landed to retreat and regroup with Elisa and Norman and the Arezo family members, their weary bodies welcomed the brief respite. They formed a tight circle, their swords still gleaming with the blood of fallen monsters. Breathing heavily, they assessed their situation, their eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of hope.
But hope seemed distant as the horde of relentless monsters closed in on them with alarming speed. The ground beneath them trembled with the thunderous roar of approaching doom. Fear gripped their hearts, and a sense of desperation began to cloud their thoughts.
