The seventh layer was a deafening chaos of snarling monsters, and above the mass of bodies, faint motes of starlight drifted down like falling dust. Ethan triggered his wide-area skill, Starfall Barrage, and the drifting lights suddenly rained harder, flickering over the packed horde. Many of the monsters jammed at the back were already losing chunks of their health. At the same time, Leo kept swinging through his own set of area attacks, doing everything he could to hold the attention of the entire crowd.
It was a relief that Ethan only had Starfall Barrage for large-scale damage, since it merely chipped away at everything in its range. If he had possessed a true burst-type spell, Leo would have never managed to keep such a massive pull focused on him.
Minutes dragged by as they remained wedged in the corridor, repeating the same cycle of casting, striking, and waiting for cooldowns, the fight turning into a mechanical rhythm that none of them dared break.
