Yet with the sudden increase in the intensity of such attacks it looked impossible to evade them all. At some point she would end up being pinpointed to the ground by attacks.
And not long after that she would lose her life here.
"I can't let that happen!" Doaf gritted his sword hilt while gazing up at his mages. They were also facing similar situations but with less intensity in comparison to him and Amera.
As the two were the leaders, the most annoying ones here so they had it the hardest. "They… can't help," Doaf couldn't help but bitterly admit this truth, "what can I do?"
He stood in his place while thinking about his options. No matter how much he thought it seemed there was no way out.
There was no room to retreat or advance. Standing in one place meant death as well. All roads in front of the two were blocked and it was only time before Amera would be hit by attacks.
And that meant he wouldn't be able to protect her.
"Screw this!" he started to move but instantly he got a massive wave of attacks that forced him to fall over the ground. He couldn't fly, so he tried to walk.
Yet the next wave of attacks forced even his knees to bend. He was fixed in one place while all around the faces of the enemies started to show vicious expressions.
They seemed to be content and happy with what was happening to the two of them. He knew if the attacks wouldn't kill them, then these enemies would if the attacks momentarily stopped.
"Damn!" Doaf already lost all hopes.
If not a miracle would befall them now then it would be over.
But fate seemed not to give up on them… not yet.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
All of sudden the entire world all around shook massively. Doaf couldn't help but raise his head and watch the world all around.
All around endless streams of attacks fell over the sides of this gigantic army. Before Doaf could guess anything, he spotted a far away figure, flying all alone midair while raising a sword high in the air.
"N… Nicole!!!" Doaf was deeply shocked to recognize the identity of that person. He never thought of her to appear right here, or to expect that she led her army to flank the enemy from both sides and ambush them.
And that attack just came in time, perfectly in time to save the lives of Doaf and Amera from the inevitable fate.
The attacks that landed on the two of them came mainly from the far two sides of the army. That made any attempt to clear out these foes and get rid of these attacks futile, and impossible.
However Nicole seemed to read this situation and thus she decided to change the game. She selected the most weakened spot of the enemy and made sure to fiercely hammer it without mercy.
And that sudden appearance of the big army of the cauldron elite forces made the attacks over the two suddenly stop.
"Amera… Come back now!" Doaf didn't hesitate to take advantage of this moment of chaos in the enemy lines and shouted at Amera.
However he was the one pinned to the ground and she kept flying all over the place enduring different kinds of attacks.
She never stopped, never planned to stop, and never intended to retreat.
"Come back now! For Arthur!" Doaf saw her stubbornly attacking without pause or hesitation. Yet even when he used Arthur's name, Amera didn't even flinch.
In fact she became fiercer. She started to move faster, hit stronger, and kill more, much more like before.
"F*ck this!" Doaf couldn't help but turn to plan B. he instantly rose high in the air, raised his sword high in the air before shouting:
"All bronzed giants… heed my words… advance!"
His shouts came so sudden and were instantly heard by everyone. The attacks ceased to fall over the heads of his forces, and so they had a rare moment of peace.
Yet when he shouted at them at this moment, their fighting spirit was reignited once more.
"Revenge… Revenge is up ahead! Don't stop advancing! Don't defend… attack, relentlessly attack until everyone is dead!"
Doaf didn't stop shouting and the more he spoke, the more furious his men became. Instantly they turned into mad beasts, running amok all over the place while advancing with unparalleled speed.
They did just like what he did before, ditched all the defense and leant to attack. They didn't focus on killing everyone, and only focused on creating a path to the depth of enemy ranks.
And their target was so clear, high in the air standing in front of them. Doaf was their beacon, and he kept flying high in the air while fighting the enemies for them to follow.
The enemy was in chaos, but there were many veterans in their ranks. Many weren't fazed and the first thing they did was to aim at Doaf.
He was already standing midair, where anyone from far could spot.
He also tried to help and decrease the pressure on Amera as well. Like this many would tend to come at him, not her.
She was unstoppable, unpredictable, not like him. He kept flying midair while using his shield to deflect any incoming attack or even enemy.
His sword never stopped flashing in the air, cutting right and left without even a moment of pause.
As for his forces, they started to pick up momentum and that was thanks to the path Amera and Doaf created before.
Once they embarked on that path, their speed became so fast that they were able to catch up with Doaf in less than five minutes.
During these minutes Doaf was already becoming cornered. He was standing all alone in the middle of thousands or more of elite and veteran monsters and mages.
And yet it wasn't that easy to take him down. He was, after all, far stronger than them in terms of individual strengths.
