The bandits seemed to be swarming like rats around Seras's perch a top the book cases. Many of them seemed to be falling back, too weakened by his spell to try reaching him, but a strong few were still making upwards headway towards him. One of them made the mistake of putting his hand on the top only to be stomped on by Seras and sent back down with the rest of the advancing brigands.
Seras continued kicking and lashing at his climbing attackers when he noticed a familiar blue clad figure reach the second floor landing. If he could manage to hold out for a bit longer the two of them would probably be able to push back their foes.
