Chapter 20: End of the Line
Within a few minutes, Lara’s suspicions were confirmed. A total of thirteen Dark Reapers were approaching on the horizon. Lorn counted, “Thirteen… think that’s a co-incidence?”. Riley gulped, “No matter what, we have to try and drive them back”. Ulric nodded, “You said it… Attack formations!”. Each hybrid went back to back with another, Karn stood alongside Riley and Bitsy. The Dark Reapers were upon them quickly, their rattling raspy voices penetrated the air and their dark bodies oozing despair and death. The hybrids made the first move. Silpher and Magnus released their charged attacks and took out two of the Dark Reapers. Karn counter-attacked another Reaper which flew back and turned into ash upon hitting a tree.
Hemm rushed forwards and attacked a Reaper with furious speed. He was a blur, attacking with all his might and as quick as lightning. The Reaper turned to ash before him. Ulric threw a spear into a Dark Reaper and started attacking it with his fists. The fight it seemed was in the hybrids favor.
Bron was struggling to get out of this situation. Bron could only handle one Reaper as it was, but there were two Reapers approaching from the southern side. He needed some backup. Bitsy came up to Bron and smiled, "Looks like I got here in time, not that you needed my help". Bron raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?". Bitsy looked behind Bron, "Seems your friend is back". Bron turned around and was quite shocked to see the return of something he thought that he would never see again, “No way!”.
