Ethan stopped his carnage against the weak monsters as he watched Ruan getting thrashed by the Harpy.
The general fought with skill born from decades of combat, silver energy flaring around his blade as he struck at the winged beast. But each attack met empty air as the Harpy twisted, avoiding them.
He can't match its mobility.
Ethan had cleared enough bronze ranks to ease pressure on the soldiers temporarily. The breach stood momentarily secured, monster corpses creating a grotesque barricade that would slow the next wave.
But "temporary" was the main word.
Suddenly, the earth vibrated like it was about to spill it's contents. The weaker soldiers barely able to stand normally as the vibrations increased.
'An earthquake? How?'
BOOM
Ruan crashed to the ground twenty meters away, his silver aura flickering weakly as the Harpy's wind blast connected with devastating force. The general's armour had crumpled inward, blood seeping from beneath crushed metal.
