Chapter 176: Storming the gate (3)

"Let's team up."

The brown-haired girl stood with her back to him. She didn't turn but he heard her question. Instead of replying, he glanced at the area in front of her. It was littered with corpses. 

'She is strong.' Hex's attack shattered the ground and threw the incoming horde back. Her attack rendered many immobile, even killing many. 

The sound of retreating steps indicated the withdrawal of the first group. The sight of their retreat incensed the creatures. They overcame their shock and resumed rushing toward them. 

The group around Hex readied themselves to fight. Hex, however, didn't place much hope on them. Apart from the boar-like fellow with the bushy red beard and the Esmeralda, he didn't sense anyone of note. 

But they weren't useless. The incoming horde was huge but consisted mostly of Demons and a few Fiends. The group of Knights would be enough to withstand them and allow Hex to preserve his energy.
