"Damn, they're endless in numbers." Reign said as lightning struck around him, shocking several monsters that had jumped at him, causing their bodies to convulse in pain as he used his swords to quickly end them.
"I guess so, the longer we take, the harder this will get." Shadow added as he ripped multiple monsters apart with his shadowy tendrils that arose from the shadows of the monsters before piercing through them and then pulling.
"It's been 4 hours, and we're not even halfway there. The monsters have already gotten much more powerful than before. We have to speed up." Beast said as the others nodded, still moving ahead, none of them stopping for an instant, even when they were attacked.
An hour more passed, and they finally got about halfway to the portal, but that was when they all felt a powerful pulse of mana pass through them and the forest.
The monsters around them all suddenly gained a red aura around their bodies, grew more berserk, as well as more powerful.
