Aric engaged her in closebat, while Emma and Evelyn continued their assault from a distance. Isabe''s illusions created confusion, making it difficult for the her to anticipate our moves. Sunny, proving his worth, delivered precise strikes from the nk.
Every thing was going a ording to n but I know that it was just an illusion.
The n had worked but it''s only brought us few moments of relief, soon things will start to change from bad to worse.
And I was proven right few secondster.
The woman jumped in air and did the summersault, while in air she also kick Aric in chest sending him flying backwards, after kicking Aric she gracefullynds in the ground.
-Swish!
At that sounds the woman turned her back and saw sunny with his spear, trying to attack her from blind spot.
"TSK "
Clicking here toung in dissure, she grabs sunny spear when hees near her.
Sunny greeth his teeth, as he tried to free himself but all his attempt turned into nothing.
-Thawack!
The woman hit his stomach with back of his spear, and kick him at same time. Like Aric Sunny also flew backwards and hit the wall
She also took out two small dagger from her clock and threw at the uing arrow at her. The daggers hit the two arrows changing its trajectory.
At that moment the blonde figure blurred, and she popped up right in front of me with her ws drawn back.
In a split second, the blonde woman lunged at me, her dark ws aimed at my neck as she sought to cleave it off.
Swish–!!
But her ws met nothing but air as I dodged her attack with lightning-fast reflexes, stepping back and crouching just in time to save my neck.
But I didn''t stop there. Seizing this chance, I used the momentum of my duck to pivot on my left foot and deliver a swift, spinning kick to her unguarded chest.
Thwack—!!
"Tsk," to my frustration, however, my attack dealt no damage as the vampire stood there unharmed.
She went to grab my foot, but before she could do that, I also disappear in blur motion and appear few metres away from her.
I used [Astral Dash] atst moment, thankfully I was able to escape from her. The woman turned her head and red at me, she was going to attack me again but other cadets intrfair and brought me few moments to think new n.
"Now what Lucas? Do you have any ns." Evelyn said as she jumped near me.
n? I actually have one.
"Sunny, stay two steps behind me and use your spear for close-rangebat. Emma, move back and take stay near with Lyra position to provide us with cover fire with Evelyn. Aric, act as our tanker. Isabe don''t use your fire magic it hit anyone, instead use your wind magic. Noah and Kael, rush with me." Imanded, delegating specific tasks to each member of our team.
With no further arguments, everyone quickly moved to fill the positions I instructed them about with me at the center.
As I turned back to blonde woman I found that she had taken control of cadet aging who rushed at attack her earlier.
Damnit! Well there is nothing I can do it right now.
Charge!" I yelled.
At mymand, we darted forward in the direction of the blonde woman.
"Kill them," the blonde woman muttered.
As if waiting for that cue, the people surrounding us, with vacant looks in their eyes, rushed at us.
–"Arghhaaa!!"
–"Haaaa!"
–"Hiyaaaa!"
Meanwhile, the individuals under the women mind control tried to block our path, but we pushed through.
Bang, Bang, ng—!!
sh, Splurt, Swish—!!
Sounds of sword shes, shield blocking, and arrows whipping through the air filled hall.
Everyone tried not to hurt anyone more than necessary since our enemies were either our allies or normal civilians.
Not me, though. I didn''t have the luxury to hold back since I at front of everyone.
"Haaa!"
"Haaa!" I lunged forward, leading the charge against the mind-controlled allies now turned adversaries. The sounds of battle echoed through the hall, a chaotic symphony of shes and shouts.
Noah and Kael, nking me, swung their weapons with precision, clearing a path through the controlled cadets. Aric, acting as our tanker, skillfully defended against their attacks, his shield absorbing the brunt of their blows.
"Sunny, spear ready!" I shouted, ncing back to ensure he was following closely. The metallic ng of his spear striking against assants resonated as he adhered to mymand.
Isabe''s wind magic danced around, providing a protective barrier that allowed Evelyn and Emma having shifted to a safer position, expertly shot arrows, ensuring minimal harm to the mind-controlled cadets.
Meanwhile Lyra continue to buff everyone with her buff magic.
The blonde woman, having taken control of more allies, observed the chaos with a sinister satisfaction. It fueled my determination to put an end to her influence.
"Stay focused, everyone! We can''t let her control more people," I yelled over the tumult. The urgency in my voice resonated with the team as we pressed forward, navigating the thin line between incapacitating our adversaries and avoiding irreversible harm.
The struggle intensified as we advanced, each step contested by the mind-controlled individuals. I shed through the adversaries, my sword cutting through the air with precision. The weight of leadership bore down on me, urging me to find a way to end this without sacrificing anyone.
"Haaa!" Aric''s battle cry echoed, creating an opening for us to push forward. We advanced, relentless in our pursuit of the blonde woman who continued to manipte the minds of those around her.
As we neared our target, the battle reached a critical point.
The hall reverberated with the sh of weapons and the echoes of spells as we pressed on. Isabe''s wind magic created a protective barrier, shielding us from the worst of the attacks while Evelyn and Emma maintained their strategic positions, minimizing harm to the mind-controlled cadets.
Lyra''s buff magic continued to bolster our abilities, providing us with the strength needed to endure the relentless assault. Despite the chaos, our teamwork held strong, a testament to the bonds forged in the crucible of battle.
