And Nyx felt the walls closing in.
She grit her teeth.
"This is bad... If only I had a bit more damned power..." [Telekinesis] still wasn’t strong enough to restrain these monsters, and her other spells were not only reliant on cooldowns but also lacked a bit of firepower to cut through these monsters at a rate she would’ve preferred.
On the other hand, Aria and Bastet had the firepower, but they lacked the defenses to protect themselves.
Nyx’s thoughts cut off as three monsters lunged at once.
She caught one with her barrier, redirected the second by a spatial push, but the third...
A voice slid into Kaiden’s head.
<Hmm, hmm... I suppose the girls need my help... Big brother, how about you turn them into stay-at-home lovers and only go to war with me at your side? I’m all you need...>
Kaiden’s eyelid twitched.
’Alice.’
<Just kidding~>
But the effect was immediate.
Kaiden felt the air shift. A hum vibrated above his skull before the dark halo on his head began to thicken, its edges sharpening into a ring of focused energy. Shadows curled around it like threads being pulled tight, and a wave of pressure bled outward, enough to make the nearest monsters hesitate mid-charge.
The halo ignited.
Dark luminescence, dense and heavy, descended along Kaiden’s spine and spread across his body. His muscles tightened as if wrapped by an unseen force, his stance grounded with unnatural stability. The greatsword in his hands drank the aura eagerly, its surface darkening before streaks of deep violet coursed along its length.
Then Kaiden inhaled, the halo pulsated with that one breath, and swung with all his might.
The slash tore through the nearest monster.
And then the miracle hit.
A warm rush, steady and overwhelming, flooded through the entire battlefield, washing into every girl like a tide of stolen life. Aria felt her strained lungs ease, the panic in her chest fading under a soothing wave of vitality. Nyx, bruised, pressured, and cornered, felt the hit to her ribs unwind, muscles knitting just enough to keep her mobile.
Energy flowed through all of them.
The secret weapon.
Alice.
She wasn’t just the shy little sister waiting on the sidelines. She was the binding agent, the force multiplier, Kaiden’s living amplifier.
The formation only worked against such a large wave of strong monsters because she existed inside it. With her awake and channeling through him, Kaiden became more than a damage dealer. He became their bulwark, their engine, their frontline healer.
