Chapter 79 - (79) Blade (1/2)

The four of them ran off through the Barrier without wasting time. Geth watched as Zolis skirted around the edge of the chamber. It wasn't long before the others had merged into the small crowd, their presence wasn't even noticed.

He and Filthy were able to see when one of the brothers would step just a little too far, interrupting someone's block. Hulk exaggeratedly slung back his shield one time after blocking, striking one of the enemy members in the head. The already injured man fell unconscious to the ground.

If it wasn't such an intense situation, Geth would probably find it a bit comical. He was even able to see Zolis grinning widely while watching the show. Rolling his eyes, he turned his attention to the brothers again.

'With the... assistance.. of Hulk and the brothers, the enemies are dwindling fast.' Geth mused. Another of the Hobgoblins had fallen, and six more men were lying on the ground unconscious or dead.

With the extra numbers added by the three, the six that still remained hadn't noticed their numbers dwindling much. Geth turned and looked at the others, he gave a signal to follow closely.

He walked through the Barrier, feeling the cool sensation of the Mana as he crossed. They covered ground slowly at first, but as a Hobgoblin took out the next of the enemies Geth picked up the pace.

Zolis sprinted forward, leaping into the middle of the fray. Harris and Farris quickly crouched behind Hulk as he activated some type of defensive Skill.

Zolis' hammer hit the ground and the earth began quaking throughout the cave. A wall of fire shot up, catching the unsuspecting Hobgoblins and enemy party by surprise.

The event caused the four fighting the Boss to lose concentration. The man with the ax was struck by one of the Boss' lightning spells, which then chained over into one of their mages.

'Perfect!'

Geth sprinted forward and cast State Change under the temporarily stunned axeman. It wouldn't take him long to recover, but it could buy him some time. A deep puddle formed, dropping the stunned man under the surface.

The man with the sword snapped his head back to see the unfamiliar face sprinting towards him. A look of incredulity showed on his face, soon turning over to anger.

”Stop that man!” He shouted loudly at his companions.

His order was useless. One of the mages was still stunned and the other already had two arrows buried into his thigh. The injured man looked at his boss in a panic.

”Blade, do som---!” The man's scream was cut off as he managed to dodge an arrow hurtling towards his head. He followed the direction the arrow came from and spotted Filthy running in the distance.

He began casting different frost spells towards the archer, trying to slow him and get some damage off. Small walls of ice formed in front of him, protecting his vitals. Even so, arrows would still graze his arms or legs as he reached around to cast Ice Spike.

Blade didn't have time to worry about his companion, before Geth was even on him he'd taken a hit for almost 30 hp and he couldn't tell where it was from. On top of that, the Boss had gained some distance in the confusion and was charging up another spell.
