The ambush took everyone by surprise. As the mage-type and zombie-like monsters closed in, a wave of panic washed over the group. The dark-robed mages, their eyes glowing ominously, began to unleash their spells, casting bolts of dark energy that crackled through the air. The zombies, quick for their decaying forms, shuffled forward, their movements jerky yet alarmingly fast.
Nora and Lyra exchanged nervous glances, their fear evident. The three Red Dragons guild members, caught off guard, stumbled back, barely managing to put up a defense.
One of them, a young man named Kale, cried out as a bolt of dark energy narrowly missed him, scorching the wall behind him. His face was pale, his hands shaking as he tried to regain his composure.
Adrian acted quickly, his mind sharp and focused despite the chaos. "Lyra, Nora! Support me!" he commanded, his voice cutting through the noise. He raised his sword, his eyes fixed on the approaching enemies.
