When he saw the man was about to use his wind blast, Cristian opened his mouth. "Haaa!"
His booming voice caused a wave that sent the man hurling towards a horse. "Leave him; the portal is still open!"
The leader shouted at his men, who turned their attention to the portal.
"Not while I'm here," Cristian said, bolting toward a warrior who was a woman with fierce eyes.
The woman yelled, dashing toward him with ferocious momentum, but a single clash caused her to stagger, her eyes wide open, frozen in shock. While the woman slowly came to a stop, he shot an arrow of decay into the chest of the mage, whom she was supposed to protect.
A rumbling black mist formed around him, blasting out instantly.
The mist met the split body of the female warrior, turning her corpse to dust.
*Clang*
Defending the attack of the hooded man, Cristian found himself struggling to keep up with the man's speed and skill with the sword.
