Chapter 334: Sword In Motion
The underground tunnel shuddered with the tremors of the chaos above, but that didn’t slow the three advancing figures.
North led the charge, twin blades flashing as wind swirled around her feet. Steve moved to her left, lightning arcing from his body, while Lyrate floated behind the two.
The long hall ahead split into multiple corridors, but they didn’t hesitate. North pointed her blade down the widest path, where she sensed the highest concentration of enemy signatures.
"Let’s go," she said, and vanished in a gust of wind.
She reappeared like a storm, spinning in midair as she activated Cyclone Cleave. A howling spiral of wind followed her blades, cutting through the first wave of Holt soldiers. Blood sprayed the walls as screams echoed down the stone corridors.
Steve blurred next to her with Burst Flash, his sword trailing blue lightning. His strike hit like a meteor, severing two men in half before they could even raise their weapons. The corridor erupted into chaos, shouts and alarm calls ringing through the halls.
More soldiers poured in from the adjoining tunnels.
Lyrate raised her hand. The stone beneath their feet cracked, and thorned roots burst upward, wrapping around ankles and knees. She flicked her wrist, and the roots yanked back, dragging men to the floor as she calmly walked forward.
From the left, a blade-wielding soldier lunged at her with a roar. She stepped sideways, drew her blade, and with one slash of her crimson sword , opened his chest from collar to hip. He fell without a word, vines already crawling over his corpse.
North activated Dual Cleave, her body a blur between two groups. She carved through the enemy line with a brutal X-slash, forcing them to backpedal. But she didn’t let up, Blade Rush launched her forward again, driving her twin blades into two more soldiers.
Steve gripped his sword tightly, eyes locked on the nearest enemies.
He darted forward.
