Erik felt a sudden surge of mana coursing through his body and realized what it meant—Terra was dead. A grim smile played across his lips.
Vex and Restro were still oblivious to their comrade's fate and readied themselves for another bout, sure that Terra had their backs.
He had to capitalize on their ignorance.
"How much do you think the Third Division commander needs?" Vex quickly checked the time on his visor.
"She said she would be ready by 00:00. Five minutes. That's how much we need to resist."
But then Erik appeared.
"Fuck! He is here!"
The two Vindicators moved. Erik attacked. Wind blade after wind blade, he destroyed everything Terra created to give his comrades an edge. Vex warped frequently, consuming his already very low mana. He wasn't fast enough to avoid those attacks and didn't have Restro's armor, so that was the only thing he could do to stay alive.
The latter, instead, pumped more mana into his neural links. He still tried to avoid the attacks whenever he could, but he often failed. The armor held, but his mana plummeted more and more.
"Restro, tank him!"
The man went in, knowing this was going to probably be his last battle. While he did that, he started noticing something but didn't voice it.
Restro went in melee, unleashing a flurry of attacks against Erik. Vex did the same, wielding his blade to cut Erik down.
Erik tried to avoid being slashed as much as he could. If Erik didn't receive a constant stream of mana, even he would have his reserves depleted by now, and the battle would have been lost. He could not rely on comrades to keep his mana as intact as possible, contrary to his opponents. Luckily, Erik was surrounded by death, and with each death, he got more mana replenished.

Somehow, Erik found himself on the defensive. He did his best to avoid Vex's sword but had to take some hits by Restro, tanking them with his Force Bastion. It didn't always work, though, because Restro's brain crystal was powerful, and he could give insidious effects to his armor.
Erik needed to break their rhythm. He activated his Frostwind Fire Tempest, freezing the area. A swirling vortex of elemental fury erupted around him. Ice shards, carried by howling winds, battered the Vindicators. Vex teleported away, narrowly avoiding being impaled by an ice spear. Restro's armor hardened, becoming a crystalline shell that deflected the elemental onslaught but which did nothing to stop the cold from seeping into his bones.
