POV: AllenThe sound of our shouting was drowned by the screams and roars of the monsters flooding us, Laura was the first to make contact and as soon as she did limbs went flying heads were decapitated.
It was slaughter, it wasn"t my first time seeing her in action but it still amazes me how one could become so strong, no monster seemed to be able to stop her onslaught, Lana was running behind her while continuously shooting arrow after arrow Collin was chanting loudly as one fire ball after the other soared threw the air clearing the area surrounding us for a few seconds before more monsters came jumping over the corpses of their fallen brethren.
Our newest party members were in no way falling behind as Amon seemed as skilled if not a tad better then Lana, as he seemed to know exactly which monster to shoot to help reduce the load before quickly reaching towards his quiver to reload, silence and deadly the exact opposite of his companion Zavier who was laughing loudly while dismembering monster after monster, whenever his claymore went limbs followed, I was trying to be more careful only striking when I was 100% sure in killing the monster as if I fail and mess up just once it will be enough for them to swarm me and head towards our archers and mage and that was something that I could not allow.
A orc type of monster"s head flew from my side as Zavier yelled not stopping for even a second "YOU THINK TOO MUCH!"
He"s right, I tried clearing my mind a small goblin came jumping from my left trying to head towards Amon exposed back while another wolf type monster was trying to attack me from the right.
I instinctively rammed my shield towards the little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds face as he fell back trampled on by the others while almost simultaneously slashing at the attacking wolf splitting him in half before quickly regaining my poster and pulling my shield in front.
A quickly glance at our surroundings, we were still a bit further away from the portal and the monsters numbers don"t seem to be reducing at all quite the opposite they only seem to be increasing.
Laura is a beast paving us the road ahead at a steady pace, she was like a storm none could stop her but it"s apparent that if this keeps up she will eventually get tired before we are clear, Lana and Amon are quickly running out of arrows, one thing I"m grateful for however is that durability reinforcement Collin casted on my shield, without that i"m not even sure how much more hits it could take, I thought as I shoved another monster back to get trampled by his companions it was at that small moment however that an arrow flew right past me towards Amon.
"s.h.i.t!" I won"t make it I looked as the arrow flew right past me excepting it to hit Amon, unexpectedly however Zavier threw himself in front of it and took it to his right shoulder just in time before it hit Amon."
"ZAVIER!!" Shouted Amon while shooting a few quick shots to help lessen the burden on his friend.
"DON"T MIND ME THIS IS NOTHING! WE NEED TO FIND THAT ARCHER!"

"I"M ON IT!" came Collin"s reply as he send a giant fireball soaring towards the direction where the arrow was shot from that caused a miniature explosion.
"I DON"T HAVE MUCH ARROWS LEFT!" Yelled Lana now shooting spa.r.s.ely, another arrow soon came flying towards Collin this time which I was thankfully prepared for and was able to parry.
"THAT b.a.s.t.a.r.d IS TARGETING OUR ARCHERS AND MAGE!"
"NO s.h.i.t!" Replied Zavier all the while slashing at opponents left and right, not even having time to remove the arrow lodged to his shoulder, soon another followed this time aimed at Lana which Zavier easily parried, but as soon as he did another arrow was shot at him to his back, he lightly staggered before regaining his footing
"ZAVIER!! s.h.i.t s.h.i.t s.h.i.t!" Screamed Amon clearly more agitated, which gave the monsters the opening they were waiting for as soon as he faltered for a second another arrow came soaring through the sky towards him, It was coming from Zavier"s side so I couldn"t intervene even if I wanted to and can only watch as Zavier pushed the Elf forward and took the Arrow to his ribs and staggered once again almost loosing his footing before he steadied his steps.
"YOU IDIOT! COOL YOUR d.a.m.n HEAD AND RUN!" Shouted Zavier trying to act okay but I could see, I could see that the sword that killed three monsters with each strike now only barely managed to kill one, where as at the start no monsters could manage to touch him now small cuts started to acc.u.mulate on his body, and where as the armor that seemed unscratched at the start now was caked b.l.o.o.d.y over his body, one arrow to the shoulder another to to his back and one to his ribs.
Our eyes met for a split second and I could swear I saw a sad smile on his face, Amon seemed to notice as well "DON"T YOU DARE DO ANYTHING YOU d.a.m.nED OLD MAN!! DON"T YOU DARE WE ARE GONNA MAKE IT YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT YOU HEAR ME???" Screamed Amon as if trying to convince himself of it while tears started to run down his now dirty face, Zavier just smiled sadly at that and murmured "Not without a Bait we won"t."
"NO NO NO NO NO!!! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ZAVIER NO!! I REFUSE I REFUSE!!"
"I"m sorry kid, I don"t think i"ll be able to accompany you any longer, take care of yourself. I—I Love you kid..." he said looking at Amon with a resigned smile on his face before lightly nodding at me, I didn"t know what to do but all the noise of the monsters seemed to die down as Zavier Roared one last time And charged alone at the monsters behind us to which almost all went and followed him.
"NO NO NOOOO!!!! YOU CAN"T DIE! I DIDN"T ALLOW YOU TO DIE YET!! NO FATHER! DON"T LEAVE ME!!" Sobbed Amon as he tried to jump after Zavier who was swarmed by all types of monsters slashing at them killing them by the dozen but also getting hit another arrow soon found it"s way to his chest, I grabbed Amon and dragged him back.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LET ME GO ZAVIER!! MY—FATHER IS THERE ALONE WE NEED TO HELP HIM!!"
"SNAP OUT OF IT, DO YOU WANT HIS SACRIFICE TO GO IN VAIN?!"
"NO!! ZAVIER!!" Screamed AMON as a spear hit him from the back and went out of his chest, before another wolf jumped to bite his hand he managed to take out a few more with him before he"s body was not seen anymore under the flood of monsters...
"NOOO"
The portal was now in front of us as the sacrifice of Zavier made it possible for us to make it Laura, Lana and Collin gave the crowd of monsters one last somber look before diving inside, I soon followed by pushing a screaming Amon inside before jumping in myself, Oh dear Ysion please have mercy on his soul and welcome him within your arms only you know he deserves it...
