From the mist of the spell's aftermath emerged the monsters of various sizes and shapes. Azure quickly plugged her ears and charged forward, sword held tightly in her hands. The spells rained above her head, obliterating weaker fighters. Occasionally, a massive fireball was launched by Sheira, obliterating large numbers of fighters. Not only the savage warriors, but even monsters were not immune to her firepower. I was right to let her participate. Her Acidic fire sliced into the flesh of the lizard-like brute, enveloping and melting him into a puddle in the blink of an eye. She then charged toward the next one, cutting off its head before pushing the hulking corpse back into the enemy. She rushed toward a massive Bauk, jumping above it and landing on its back. She raised her sword and plunged it into its head. It did not defend itself?! She jumped back and swung into a wide arc, clearing space for herself. A hit from a brute sent her flying into the horde. They raised their crude weapons and swung at her. She rolled to the side and swept the large beasts, leveraging her new power to easily topple massive beasts. She swung her blade, cutting their legs and melting their bodies. Her eyes instinctively looked toward the gate. The spell barrage was able to keep the horde from going around her to strike the gate, but it would not last. The warhorn resounded once again, and even more screamers and besomars appeared from the horde. They charged forward, and Azure prepared to block. Yet, the monsters ran past her, ignoring her presence. The spells were unable to damage the powerful monsters, thus Azure quickly regained her wits and rushed after them, cutting them down before they could reach the gate. The sonic attacks made the spell support wane, yet she could not afford to stand still. Her eyes glowed acidic green, melting everything in her sight. I can’t push into the horde. There are too many of them. She grit her teeth. If she had distanced herself from the gate, the academy would have fallen to the onslaught of monsters. Then, an artillery of spells belonging to the savages flew above her, raining straight into the purple barrier, which fortunately stood strong against the powerful attacks. From a corner of her eyes, she noticed the horde branch out, a small section of monsters and savage warriors attempting to go around the wall. Azure turned to the defenders. “An attack on the western section! Sheira, deal with it, quickly!” The princess saluted and quickly ran across the wall. Sheira was the only person other than herself who could handle the monsters, the others had to remain and cover her back and prevent the savages from surrounding her. However, the fact that monsters refused to attack her worried her. They seemed to be glued to the gate. She jumped up and, with her foot, stomped a screamer, reducing the skull into dust. The warhorn sounded again. I can fight like this all day. She grinned, a thrill of the battle finally catching up to her. The sword erupted in yellow fire, and a slash sent a wave of acid into the endless horde. Yet, slowly they were managing to gain ground behind her. The spell support waned, leaving only Avaros and Mia. “No, we can’t stop them like this!” She shouted, raising her sword and blocking a strike from a brute. “Everyone! Hold the gate, I need to find their commander!” Avaros saluted. “You can count on us, Lady Azure!” Please hold on, once their chieftain is dead, they should scatter. The monsters would quickly overwhelm the defenders, yet it was a reason she needed to be quick. She sent wave after wave of acid, pushing back the vanguard and buying time for her friends. She slashed forward, clearing her way through the horde. They had to have teleported, there is no way they could push this massive army through the border unnoticed. She was an unstoppable storm, a whirlpool of absolute destruction. The horde grew thinner. She scanned the environment. “Where is the cheiftan?! I challenge him
