thump thump thump!
the sheer weight of the charging bear was making the ground shake!
The rogues had already started firing their arrows, throwing projectiles, Especially Cassandra!
That Vixen took down her targets with one throw of her javelins, for those that, unfortunately, managed to survive were pinned to the ground unable to escape and only to be trampled by their comrades that failed to stop in time.
The bear remained unscathed by any of the projectiles as it made its way to the nearest shield slamming its body into the defenses of the rogues as those within stabbed and hacked at the beast thanks to its thick hide and fur that was enchanted by the corrupted druids it took some time to finally slay it!
Sadly for the rogues, the werewolves had gotten close enough to begin scratching and biting on the shield, using their VERY bodies to block their view of what was happening behind them, but the loud bestial growls let the rogues know that there were more bears coming.
While more than likely even more werewolves!
The magic users that cast the mana shields were sweating heavily as the number of attacks were draining their mana too fast for them to keep up the output.
One of the shields cracked before another magic-user cast the same spell that overlapped the previous one to allow their ally to rest and not suffer mana exhaustion, as that would lessen their odds of survival should one get incapacitated at this dire moment.
The very mana shield that broke first was the one at the forefront of the formation, the one that Walter was in!
The man was sweating from the pain he was feeling in his hand, due to the constant usage of the Quill shot while his natural regeneration was helping it wasn't enough with the numbers of werewolves trying to breakthrough.
He also unintentionally made himself a target from how quickly his skill managed to kill some of them when he altered the quill shot ability to come out of his palm instead of his hand to make it shoot out like a shotgun with buckshot bullets rather than the tedious version that used his fingers.
While it worked, it hurt even more than the other version! Try imagining this, 15 finger-sized quills moving from the back of his hand to his palm and some of them were grinding against his metacarpus and the other bones near the wrist!
So yeah, he was not having a good time but at least this gave him some ideas on how to alter his arsenal he was going to try his luck with the magic skin of his.
There were eight werewolves covered in quills lying dead not too far from his group which was pulled away by the other corrupted druids as for why they weren't able to see as they were literally swarmed the shield was beginning to fail as now the third magic-user was currently trying to keep the mana shield up.
The other two were unable to rest so they drew their bows and started firing arrows, since they were pretty accurate with their shots, it was welcome support, while Walter doubled his output with the Quill shot as some of his teeth were bleeding from gritting his teeth so hard trying to keep his mind focused on the situation at hand.
He decided to summon his monsters after yelling out to those near him about what he was about to do, Cassandra didn't mind it hell she welcomed it Since she was one of the few that had come across necromancers, druids, and other adventurers that had a pet or two.
Upon receiving the 'okay' from her, The first one her brought forth was Hairy the elite shaman looked around first to see what he could do before the shaman summoned his troops to lessen the burden of the rogues within the same mana shield.
After he was done, the shaman quickly used Sanctuary as all of the rogues within range noticed the healing properties, Especially Cassandra this amazonian Woman Laughed out loud before charging out of the mana shield then started crushing any Corrupted druids within her reach with her large spear!
anyone that was hit by her spear was sent flying, rolling across the ground, or smacked into the ground!
Sensing her strength one of the Werewolves, the possible leader of the pack, howled out loud as the air shook from it pulling the mana into itself then Its body began morphing as its body expanded, the white fur that covered it fell from its body before thick brown fur grew out, the werewolf's head split open then a larger head of a bear popped out, the bear headed enemy ripped off the ruined skin on his torso that revealed a larger frame compared to the regular werewolves!
The transformation he took was that of a werebear, He then roared baring a bloodthirsty glare towards the rogues, mostly towards Cassandra who was grinning widely at this as she was already taking a stance that in turn taunted the Corrupted druid.
While she did that, Cassandra yelled out to Walter!
"Leave this area to us you go handle Wood fist, also leave your pet here we need him to lessen our losses!"
Walter agreed easily before making a run out of the mana shield then borrowed Quinn's form as he left the battlefield to move to the next, while what he did was shocking to most of the rogues that saw this, Cassandra's battle cry made them recollect themselves, as the werebear already reached her and struck against her spear!
The ground under her feet cracked, veins in her arms and head bulged out from the strain, the werebear was paw was shaking as did the spear that rattled, enduring the pressure with her.
Both were equal in power, but the Albino woman didn't care she was originally here to have a good fight as she reached a bottleneck before thus this fight may give her some insights making her crave for what will soon be a bloody battle!
Cassandra jumped back causing the werebear to lose its balance before she stabbed forward making her spear dig deep into the shoulder of her adversary that howled in pain then bit down on her spear as an upward swipe clawed her left breast!
the Amazonian grit her teeth then slammed her knee into its snout before beginning a prelude that would be akin to two berserkers fighting each other!
Since she lacked the natural recovery abilities to hold her ground against the werebear, she was making full use of the shaman that was summoning more minions that fought along with the rogues, and helped her heal as long as she stayed in range!
