“SKURRIIIIIIKKK!!!” A sudden cry echoed in the air, sending chills down the spines of everyone.

The sound didn’t originate from our group, and the high pitch indicated that it certainly wasn’t from a human.

“T-take formation!” Daniel declared, instantly realizing what was happening.

The already tensed people jumbled up their movements since they were extremely flustered. Most hadn’t been in an actual fight with deadly Demons before, and even if they had been, the suddenness of the situation made everything unsettling.

The earth trembled, and more of the blood-curdling cries from earlier rang in the air once again.

Slowly, they began to make their entrance. It was a simply absurd and terrifying sight. Dozens of demons appeared, having the signature slimy green bodies and disgusting features that were associated with their kind. They appeared larger than the ones Ana’s team faced and didn’t seem any less dangerous.

They appeared all around us, closing their distance slowly. By the time what was happening became evident, it was too late.

We were surrounded!

“Shit!” Melissa yelled, quickly activating her Gift.

A pink force field was generated, covering our entire group. It was a surprising move made by her, surprising me. I didn’t expect her to act so quickly. Perhaps it was her survival instinct.

“Pull yourselves together, everyone!!! Get in formation!” Daniel yelled.

This snapped everyone who was petrified by the sight of way too many Demons back to reality. They quickly assumed their positions as rehearsed.

Clustering closer in a watertight formation, I was stuck in the middle, not seeing much of anything. The vanguards encircled the group, like shieldmen. Every single one of them had Gifts that were effective in close combats, as well as at least a Skill useful for fighting.

Those who were encircled in the second layer were mid-range fighters. They were to take care of enemies who were able to get past the close-range fighters. Hidden deep within the formation were long-range Gifteds or those incapable of fighting in such a situation.

The long-range fighters were to use their Gifts, Skills, or whatever, to launch assaults on the enemies while being protected by the formation.

This ensured a balance in the party play. Of course, I was stuck at the center since I had no use in the ensuing chaos, however, that wasn’t the cause of my annoyance.

It was because the person directly beside me in the formation was none other than Melissa!

“Shit! You better stay a good distance from me, twerp!” She growled, eyeing me ferociously.

I couldn’t go any further from her since the formation was designed in such a way, so I merely tolerated her tantrums. Melissa was in the center for good reason, after all.

As the propagator of the shield field that protected the Gifteds, she needed to remain in the middle so that her Gift would cover everyone. Also, she was a key member, so she needed to be protected dearly. In addition, she had no offensive capabilities.

The conclusion was only inevitable.

“We will commence the first assault now. Prepare yourselves!” Daniel’s voice rang once again.

His fierce eyes were focused on the Demons that now quickened their pace and neared us at an alarming rate. In merely a few seconds they would be in our vicinity.

“Hold….” He raised his hand, waiting for the opportune time to give the signal of attack.

“HAHAHAH!!! SKURRRIIIIK!!!” The Hobgoblins laughed maniacally, lunging themselves at us in a frenzy.

As they poured in their multitudes, Daniel still refused to give a signal of attack. They neared us… closer… closer.

Everyone held their breath and waited until they finally reached our location.

In a coordinated manner, they sent their claws flying at our group in an attempt to fatally wound us. However, as soon as the bodies of the Demons touched Melissa’s barrier, sparks flew and they were instantly repelled by the force generated.
