章 1027: A God Walks Among Mortals, Bringing Hope Amidst Despair

-----

Chris, Erdrich, and Elfriedden clashed against the incoming army of monsters. Their gigantic arms descended, making the ground tremble as they tried to crush them into minced flesh. The boys barely evaded, using the strength of their bodies and the basic stats that granted them superhuman reflexes.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

The blazing arms of Elfriedden's mother rushed down, as the young man leaped into his mother's arms and then swung his long, spear-like needle against her. A barrage of powerful piercing blows pierced through it all, detaching the entire arm within seconds.

CRASH!

"GRUOOHH!"

The monstrous mother screamed in agony, blood coming out of her wound as she fell to her knees, only to open her jaws and release a blast of infernal flames into Elfriedden's body.

The elf's eyes widened, preparing himself for his death, only for Erdrich to appear in front of him and punch the flames away.
