An eye-opening moment

Everything happened much faster than I ever imagined a moment like that to pass.

In one second, the massive monsters barely arrived on the line of the horizon, only to then appear just nearby, threatening to squash everything under the hooves of the raging horde.

Next...

Next, the stomping of the raging horde made the ground shake hard enough to disturb the concentration of the mage attacking us, allowing me just enough leeway to finish up my preparation. 

The horde was too big. There was no escaping from it. By the time we would rush to one of the horde's edges, those beasts would stomp us down over and over again. 

Not even jumping with the use of my scythe's ability would allow me to move fast enough to avoid those beasts... and that would be under the assumption I still had enough strength to actually pull it off, which, by its very self, was quite telling. 

No.
