Chapter 931: Northern Gate battle (2)

Erik swung his mana sword in a wide arc, slicing through a thaid charging at him.

As the creature fell, he spun to block the claw of another creature.

The thaids came in an endless wave, flinging themselves at the city's defenders. The tactic used by the rebels was really ruthless.

Erik cut through monsters like the scythe of a reaper, deadly but unseen, unexpected. But Erik had to disguise his combat prowess as merely respectable to avoid the others understanding that, in fact, he was far more powerful than any of them.

Besides, with each thaid he killed, Erik gained new experience points. The fighting prowess he was displaying lent credibility to his assumed identity as "Ben Fink".

Much of the battle was a blur anyway—swinging, shouting, killing, and plowing through the mass of twisted creatures.

Erik's arms ached from the repeated motion, yet he pressed on.
