Chapter 16: Chapter 16 – Entry to the Mind

Astrid and the others scrambled behind the front line as a wall of undead formed around them.

“Do nothing reckless.” Kaylan said. "This is not the time."

It’s calculated chaos.

Astrid placed down the bag from her back, onto the ground. She rummaged through it. They’re all broken. Her hands carefully sifted through the broken glass and wetness from the potions she had once had. Ah, two left. She pulled out two crystal clear deep-blue potions. She tied one to her waist and swallowed the contents of the other.

Feeling the mana swirl back inside her body, she let out a relieved sigh. Her shoulders jumped as the skeletons began their attack.

“Astrid, focus on this side with us!” Daniel shouted, his curved blade slicing past the bones of a Spawn Skeleton. “Support us like you did before and deviate their weapons. Don’t bother wasting your mana on that attack skill of yours.”

Astrid nodded. Her mind latched onto the oncoming undead’s sword, controlling it to veer off to the side. Too late. Astrid noticed that if she timed it perfectly, the mana strain was lessened. She tried again, waiting for the perfect moment, then at the last second, she grabbed hold of another Spawn’s sword, controlling it to the side. Losef thrusted his sword as the enemy's weapon missed his body. Losef nodded at Astrid.

Feeling the eased mana usage, she smiled.

Rachelle and the others crumbled tens of undead to dust by the second. Astrid watched helplessly as more were just created. She glanced over at the woman sitting on the ice throne. She still hadn’t made her move. A wall of far stronger undead protected her. Because of the number, even Kaylan was being hampered by the swarm of powerful bones.

Kaylan’s long sword flashed with a bright light as he separated the line of undead in halves. Dashing forward, the woman’s dead eyes still didn’t change.

Just as Kaylan was about to connect his sword with her body, an eight-feet tall armoured knight, holding a hulking greataxe, slammed into him. Causing Kaylan to take a few steps back.

It’s that knight again. Astrid grumbled. She took a glance at the entrance to the place; it was covered in a thick layer of ice. Presumably that was the reason they hadn’t escaped. Her vision fell on Jonathan. His entire body was trembling as his head moved erratically.

Without looking, she blasted an axe out of the skeleton's hands. It hurtled through the air and cleaved into another bony monster. Ah, oops.

One of the skeleton archers loosed an arrow that rotated through the air like a bullet as it threatened to strike Rachelle. Despite his enormous frame, Rob’s body flashed in front at high speed. The arrow created a loud clang as the entire shaft snapped and splintered into wood fragments.

Another arrow tore towards them. Astrid placed her hand in front of her as she halted the spiralling arrow in mid air, blasting it back onto another skeleton.

An hour had passed, the fight still raged on. I can’t keep going on like this. I have one mana potion and I need to save it just in case something happens.

“Rob, Losef, I’m going to enter my system for a second. I need the extra power and mana.” Astrid felt a spike of mana form in her mind as she crushed an approaching Spawn.

“I’ll protect you instead, girly. Don’t take forever like last time, I mean it. Anything can happen.” Brett flashed his yellowed teeth as she nodded.
