"Shit… not again," Rain thought when he tried to get up and felt his body as heavy as steel.
The monsters were approaching while using Fireball as well, so Rain didn't have time to waste and did his best to use Impulse… while his body wasn't obeying him that well, his magic was, so he quickly left the area and escaped the barrage of attacks.
The other fireballs burned his clothes and left some nasty marks on him, but Rain could endure that much. Besides, thanks to that, he realized something else. While it only lasted for a moment, he felt the intention of the enemies when they tried to brainwash him.
Even without eye contact, they could influence others while giving them certain types of orders… in that case, before dying, the enemies tried to stop him moving… that was why his body was so heavy.
The other two groups had already reached the fortress. Rain could see Liss using a sand tornado to keep the monsters at bay. At the same time, Liss tried to hit the brainwashing wizards behind the monsters, but they moved quite well and had the chance to avoid the arrows from that distance.
On the other hand, the guards on the southern side of the fortress were already engaging the monsters, and the beasts were attacking them mercilessly with fireballs. It was annoying, but Rain had to help them instead of his allies.
"Once again, no time to waste…" Rain thought and kept charging.
This time, Rain didn't try to hide, and the monsters saw him. Thanks to that, they soon changed their focus toward him… the monsters fired their constant annoying wave of fireballs toward Rain, but he just clenched his fists and then took a deep breath.
When the first Fireball almost hit him, Rain punched him. Since his fist was enveloped in wind magic, it protected him and also dissipated the spell. Not only that, it created a heat shockwave that made all of the other fireballs explode. The blast in the area made everyone flinch, thanks to the heat, but Rain kept charging in spite of that and eventually reached the monsters.
Rain put his arms in front of his face and then used Charging Charge. In the next moment, he collided and knocked down several of the monsters, and he used the skill over and over again until he passed through their formation. Rain felt the bones of the enemies cracking, and he felt his cracking as well, but soon he reached the brainwashing wizards.

"Surprise, shitheads," Rain thought.
The enemy's eyes began to glow, but soon they closed since the heat in the air made them flinch as well… all according to Rain's plan. Before they could recover, Rain used Impulse and arrived right in the middle of their formation and then touched the ground.
That scene was particularly gruesome… Rain also impaled the enemies with earth spikes, which hadn't been something pretty to see since they were still standing. While Rain holds a grudge against them, he doesn't want to receive the title of Impaler until he gets rid of them.

Before Rain could turn around, the monsters attacked his back with their fireballs. He protected his head with his forearm guards, but soon he moved to the side in order to escape since they were getting too hot and burning his arms as well.
"Our job is to protect them and the walls… I guess I can't leave all of the monsters in the guard's care," Rain thought and then clicked his tongue.
Rain quickly turned and began to run toward the enemies… his previous attacks consumed one thousand points of mana each. However, he still had some to spare… so he didn't hesitate in getting closer to the monsters and then impaling them. The only difficulty about that strategy was the range, Rain could only impale the enemies in a fifteen meters radius.
As such, the enemies had plenty of chances to hit him as he got closer. Still, Rain used the bodies of their allies to block the attacks. Once he disposed of around one hundred of them, he decided to dash toward his allies.
"You guys can at least deal with fifty of those monsters, right?" Rain thought while looking at the shocked guards.
Before long, Rain could see Jori, Reca, Liss, Asche, and Terra fighting the horde of monsters… much to his surprise, they were hanging in there. Instead of using a large area of effects attacks, Liss used her magic to make everyone's weapons lighter with wind magic… that was what Rain wanted to learn as well. Still, he could worry about that later.
Rain saw Reca spinning her spear and blocking the attacks of several monsters while Asche covered for her and put arrows in the mouths of the monsters. In the meantime, Jori was watching the enemies and slashing away the fireballs that were targeting the backline… they were working hard together… but soon, the first group of monsters was going to flank them.
