The creatures leaped on Asher from all directions. He pulled his leg back and threw a roundhouse kick coated in lightning.
His kick slammed into some of the creatures, pushing them away. It allowed him to create a gap to charge out of there. He bolted as fast as he could, escaping the encirclement.
"I'll have to put some distance between them and me."
Asher looked around, but oddly he could not find anyone, not a single soul. By now, the Elites should have come to rescue him, yet there was no one here.
"Something is wrong. And why are these things after my pendant?"
More portals opened on the street, and more of the creatures charged at Asher. Their punches easily broke the ground as he dodged.
He countered with punches and kicks, but it seemed the new ones that emerged were much stronger than the former ones.
"Their strength is increasing. This is bad."
