Inside the Spire

The team stared at the spire as they surged with renewed energy. If they continued like this, they would be overwhelmed and would lose their lives. The spire was making it more and more difficult with each passing second, making the insectoids that were attacking them faster, stronger, and more durable.

And if that wasn't enough, there were still the crystalline tendrils lashed out violently as their speed and ferocity increased together with the power of the bugs. It was as if the spire itself had sensed their intent and was hellbent on stopping them. For every tendril they severed or destroyed, another would emerge, and the worst part was that most of the time, the new ones were thicker and harder to deal with.

"Laura, keep us covered. You guys, get to the gate as fast as possible, full speed ahead, full power!" Reign shouted before slashing forward, severing a tendril that was aimed at his head.
