More Fallen Heroes arrived—ten, fifteen, twenty total—all converging on Seraphina with single-minded purpose.
She killed three in the first thirty seconds—throat cut, heart pierced, head severed—but the remaining seventeen kept coming.
And she couldn't focus on killing the Four Heroes while defending against seventeen mindless attackers.
"CLEVER!" she shouted at the wounded heroes, her voice carrying fury. "Commander Elric sent his failed experiments to save you! Sacrificing abominations to protect his precious heroes!"
She killed two more Fallen Heroes—both decapitated with single strikes—but three more grabbed her from behind, their supernatural strength pinning her arms momentarily.
She broke free with demon lord power, her corruption energy disintegrating the three attackers, but the delay cost her precious seconds.
Gattychan saw his opportunity.
"MIKAZELLE!" he gasped, blood bubbling from his lips. "TELEPORT! NOW! ALL OF US! USE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LEFT!"
