The soul that had threw me onto Aoif started advancing.

Slowly, gradually the soul approached, with heavy footfalls that even I could feel, the weight of his soul was overwhelming.

Quickly getting up, I grabbed my dropped spear.

The reinforcement on the spear had ended.

I reinforced it again bringing my aether into the spear transforming it back into the majestic spear that it had been before.

Looking back, Aoif had already gotten up too, with a determined glance at each other and a nod we understood what we had to do.

*CLANG*

The sound of a dagger hitting metal was heard.

Aoif's attack was deflected, the attention of the soul being taken by her.

I could see from Aoif's point of view the great fist that was raised. Poised to kill Aoif, I could feel the trust in me she had.

It was comforting but I could not revel in that feeling for I had a role to play.

With the souls all focusing on Aoif I approached.

With the greatest strength I could muster, tempered by the fear for Aoif I pushed.

For a second everything stopped.

The pounding of my heart, the fist raised above Aoif's head, her impending doom, and the spear poised to cut that hand off.

I could see it all.

I could see lines of attack, I could see the exact angle needed to cut off the arm of the soul.

Without another millisecond to think I just followed the line.

*SLASH*

The soul's ethereal arm was cut, dissipating into the distance.

I could feel the shock of the soul through Aoif's eyes.

The spear I was holding still high in the air, the image of my soul all flashed before my eyes. All from Aoif's perspective.

However I could not dwell on that, I needed to finish off the soul before the other hulking souls finished crossing the distance.

With my spear still almost completely perpendicular to the ground, I twisted it so the sharp edge was facing the soul then with my other hand pulled the spear down along with my body and swept to the right cutting the still shocked soul in half. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

From Aoif's perspective again I could see a dot in the middle of the cut soul.

Bringing my spear back I pierced up right into the bottom of the dot killing the soul for good.

From Aoif's perspective I could see that another 3 had crossed the distance and approached us.

Looking to her I nodded, no more words were needed and we both charged her using my perspective to see and I hers to find the souls.

*CLANG* *CLANG* *CLANG*

With three swift slashes Aoif had drawn the attention of all three.

As the first was going to attack I didn't let it.

*SLASH*

Following the lines I cut off the head of the one closest to Aoif then with my offhand coated in aether formed into a fist I punched at the exposed dot of the soul dissipating it into nothing.

*CLANG* *CLANG*

Looking over to Aoif's perspective I could see her struggling to parry the other two souls.

For some reason their massive strength had not affected Aoif.

Whenever she had parried one of them she would only be pushed back a foot or two.

Quickly dashing over to her I found myself being parried then punched through the stomach.

The one that hadn't attacked Aoif yet in fear of hitting the other one had intercepted me.

The fist of it was raised and when I had tried to kill the other one had surprised me by parrying my attack then while I was still disoriented from the force of the blow piercing my stomach.

I was quickly thrown into the distance away from where Aoif would have been able to safely retreat toward me.

I quickly analyzed this while holding a hand to my stomach a weak green light working hard to patch the wound.

The pain was overwhelming but the concern and worry of Aoif overwhelmed me allowing me to focus on healing.

Aoif who had saw this through my perspective tried to retreat back towards me taking hits here and there from the aftereffects of the souls attacks.

She hadn't been directly hit but the souls were smart enough to know that their direct attack's impact would be nullified.

The soul that had parried me was slowly approaching me.

It was a relief to see that even in combat these were still this slow.

It was with heavy wounds that Aoif had come back to me, now defending me from two souls.

As Aoif looked into the distance I could see from her perspective 10 or more enemies approaching.

These ones were actually armed, with ethereal swords, spears, and bows.

I tried to heal myself faster by infusing more aether into my wound.

A stronger green light appeared and healed my wounds in record time.

In just a matter of seconds my wound had disappeared, however I also felt inexplicable strength in my core.

I was back up on my feet and helping Aoif parry the attacks.

'There'

A line of attack had appeared.

I followed it and cut one of the souls in half, then when the dot appeared I pivoted on my left foot and slashed back up, splitting the dot in two and killing the soul.

After I had killed that one the other was easy to kill with Aoif distracting it and I killing it.

Ethereal arrows that only Aoif could see started to rain down upon us as soon as I had killed the last of the three.

"It seems that the next wave of enemies only appears after we have killed the previous ones." I tell Aoif, voicing my suspicions.

"Seems so…" she mumbles, focusing on the arrows raining onto us.

I stood to the side of Aoif leaving her room to see where the arrows are landing and which ones I should parry and which I should dodge.

The ones aimed at Aoif I parried and the ones aimed at me I dodged.

With her dagger in hand Aoif started to parry the stray ones that I couldn't get.

I was willing to put my body in the way, to protect her but she insisted.

The only reason that this even happened was because as the other souls with melee weapons got closer the ones with the bows started to shoot more seeing as they would soon lose their opportunity of attack.

*WOOSH* *WOOSH* *WOOOSH*

A final volley was sent in to the air.

Hundreds of arrows all converging into a cloud of death.
