Aziel and Vera looked at each other for a fraction of a second before nodding at each other. Aziel, the young boy that continued to defy all expectations she and their group had so far placed on him swung his right arm in response in a wider arc hitting and pushing away the initial stage infected along the way and throwing most down the ground.
At the same time, Vera did not let herself lag behind in terms of score and swung her metal bar with just as much ferocity, sending several infected tumbling down the ground. With their rough, but thankfully still working teamwork they managed to hold the swarming horde back and even create a momentary blockade of the fallen creatures and a few before them. They used this chance to slowly but surely retreat from the battlefield.
