To her horror, the mage continued to chant his spell through her attacks even though they landed. Black lightning shot out from his staff across the battlefield. Sasha thought they are doome, but only two people were struck. Ren, who collapsed from the second hit, and the other hunter. Evidently the spell wasn't too accurate. 

Sasha had leaped back from the mage when the spell went off. When he ran off to his comrade's side, she couldn't react in time. Instead, the small man took the opportunity to fire a dark bolt at her. This time it struck its intended target. Sasha yelped out in pain and stumbled. She saw the mage glare at her. 

"You got lucky this time girl, but always make sure to watch yer back, cause we will make sure to grab it when ya least expect it!" he spat. 
"Yeah? You too, shit head!" Sasha retorted just in time. The mage broke the pseudo space and vanished. Sasha ran over to Ren's side. He seemed quite injured, but as long as he wasn't dead it was easy to recover. 

"Fuck..." Sasha managed to mutter. The gravity of their situation was sinking in. "They were much stronger than we were... We're going to need to level a damn lot faster. "
