Chapter 27: Waves
When Seer heard Rion, she didn’t push it anymore. Jake would have to survive on his own now—he was a Chosen, after all.
They watched the projection. The blood flame lizards started approaching Jake.
Their footsteps were slow, as if cautious. Jake watched them carefully. He didn’t understand why they were moving that way, but he knew better than to let his guard down.
The undead skeletons gathered around him in a simple formation, nine of them ready. Crypt stood on his own, his spear behind him, leaning slightly on his body.
Jake looked at him and clicked his tongue. ’This dude, every single time, does he have to try and look good?’ Jake wondered.
Suddenly, the lizards started running—they charged at them all at once. Crypt reacted first, kicking the tip of his spear. It launched into the sky while spinning.
He charged toward the lizards without the spear. When he was within striking range, the spear dropped from the sky. He caught it, planted his feet into the ground, using it as a pivot to spin and slash.
His spear cut through the necks in a clean motion. He pushed forward, spinning the spear and stabbing it into the chest of one lizard, pulling it out and cutting its head off.
In only a few seconds, Crypt had taken down more than three lizards. On Jake’s side, the lizards flooded toward him, baring their teeth at him.
