"Alternative: Stay on the ground where I have no line of sight and we can get surrounded faster."

The rifle gave out another three shots, and Hunter spared a glance at the grounds to see how the others were faring before flicking his eyes back to Eika.

"So no, it's not a good idea to be up here. But it's better than being down there. Also Ego, unless you want me to start calling you Eggs, just use my damn name and at the moment, it's not what I'm trying to do to the blob but rather what I'm trying to get everyone else to do with it!"

The rifle swiveled again, gunning down a group giving chase to other students. The sniper gritted his teeth before pulling back from the ledge, checking his ammo. A quick draw of his makarov blew the head off a demon that broke past Voracia and Ego.

"We're no good if we don't regroup and push back. I'm doing jack all up here, but I can cover the others if they were to push back. Separated we're useless, just a bunch of gibbering kids, none of us are strong enough to hold them off, not even your big guy out there. They don't need to kill him, they just need to bog him down and kill you, and trust me, I can see it happening soon."

Voracia slid through a spurt of blood, embers starting to fly off her body as she roared, devouring demons left and right, body slick with gore. Hunter grimaced, sweat rolling down his face as the exhaustion from keeping her out for so long began to set in. The famine demon had kept the sides clear, doing a good job. But the demons were starting to push her back into a tighter circle. She was spread too thin to be effective, never having to do such widespread defense before. Normally it was interference for Hunter, something she excelled at. But this...this was just draining both Tamer and Demon.

"We're fooling ourselves if we think we can outlast these guys, we need to group up and give a concentrated effort. Eika, get downstairs and gather everyone. It looks like most are moving towards my gunshots, but there's no room to maneuver up here. Don't worry about me, Voracia will keep them off me and I'll cover you all from up here. Push back against those guys, even if it just slows them down, that'll be enough for the students not on patrol to finally gather up and help us kill these bastards."

The rifle slipped back over the edge, picking off stray demons here and there as Hunter returned his focus to the battlefield.

"And don't do some kinda hero thing and leave Ego or Id with me, you'll be front lining this, you need them, and they'll get in my way. Everyone's running around like scared sheep, get them organized or we all die!"

More shots from the muzzle, which was letting off gouts of steam and heat between bullets. Voracia pulled back from the edge of the building, standing over Hunter's prone form and giving Id and Ego a look. She barely even flinched as her hair literally pulled a demon into five parts.

"Go. We'll be fine so long as you work fast. We'll retreat if it gets too difficult up here, but if you want any kind of support for your offensive, you need to move NOW while I hold the advantage up here!"
