Sunny cursed and prepared himself for the worst. A few moments later, the short respite they had gotten was over.
With a sound that reminded him of rushing water, a terrifying wave of undead monsters crashed into their formation, threatening to break it apart. Effie braced for the impact and withstood the furious onslaught, somehow managing to split the wave in two.
From one side, Changing Star dove into the torrent of skeletal wraiths, her incandescent sword cutting through them like a ray of pure sunlight piercing the darkness. From the other, Caster's enchanted blade was doing the same. The scion of the Han Li clan moved with astonishing speed, turning into a blurry whirlwind of ghostly green steel.
Everything that touched it turned to dust.
Sunny glanced at Kai and said in a hoarse voice:
"Prepare yourself."
In the next moment, the wave of monsters was upon them.
