Cassian gritted his teeth as he yanked at the chain still connecting him to Samuel's motionless form.
The massive warrior lay sprawled across the broken pavement his greatsword just out of reach. Every movement Cassian made sent a painful tug through the magical tether.
"Damn this stupid rule" Cassian growled, flames flickering around his clenched fists.
Across from him, Kyle and Eleanora moved in perfect sync, their own chain taut between them but not hindering them at all.
Kyle wiped sweat from his brow, lightning crackling along his tachi. "Give it up, Cassian. You are fighting two against one now."
Cassian spat to the side. "Like hell I am." He planted his feet and yanked hard on the chain, dragging Samuel's unconscious body closer like some macabre anchor.
The movement threw off Eleanora's next shadow attack, the inky tendrils missing by inches.
Eleanora's crimson eyes narrowed. "You are really annoying."
