This time, Aria truly felt like strangling Noah.
"You're the worst at gathering information!"
Noah chuckled. "I know, well, at least I'm trying".
They were uncertain of what to do, but their doubts were soon cleared. Their objective became clear when the system prompted.
[Mission: Survive the Forgotten War]
BZZZ!
It happened instantly without warning.
Enemies surged toward them; warriors clad in golden armor, wielding weapons infused with an unfamiliar energy.
They fought like specters of the past, their attacks swift and relentless.
But Noah adapted quickly, leading the charge for his team to set the tempo, Aetherforge humming as he cleaved through the vanguard.
Aria was the second to react.
As soon as she unsheathed her twin blades, she erupted into action.
BOOM!
Like a hurricane, she charged with extra energy today, cutting through enemy lines, her blades a blur.
