Journey of Despair: Hope

"Argh!! My arm!" The mage groaned in pain on the ground. His blood kept flowing out of his wounds.

Ramie and the healer were about to stand up and help him when they saw countless black spikes burst out of the ground.

The two of them carried two people in each other's hands before they jumped away. They closed their eyes as the spikes spread out and pierced the body of some of their comrades.

This was the only thing they could do. They only have two hands so they couldn't help everyone.

"Argh!!"

The mage groaned as some of the spikes hit his body but then he realized that it couldn't pierce deeply.

This was only a level 1 tier 1 spell [Shadow Spike] so it could hardly damage a powerful B-rank.

"I need to do this..."

Flames appeared in the mage's hand and he grabbed his arm to stop the blood flow by burning it. He could attach his hand later as long as one day hasn't passed.

ARGGGHHHH!!
