A/N: This is during the game
'Tired…' Asbel thought to himself as he made a quick swing at a monster, killing it immediately in one strike. He was out of breath and his joints were stinging at the overuse of them, everything just hurt. The redhead knew he was used to this type of strenuous work, but this was too much and he was starting to feel the effects of it.
'You need to rest, fool.'
He closed his eyes for a moment, listening to Lambda speak to him for a moment. His friends were running around, trying to take out the remaining enemies. Sadly for them, they weren't all frontal fighters, many were going back and forth, switching from hitting the enemies head-on to going to the back to cast spells. Asbel was really the only one that was at the front at all times.
"I can't…" Asbel whispered, straightening himself back out, to peer over the field. His sword was hanging at his side, looking for openings to attack. He felt a few healing spells directed at him, but they didn't work all that well. He was tired, not injured.
'You'll fall over at this rate.'
"That's fine. My friends are depending on me to keep the monsters busy." Asbel went forward, striking the creatures with swift movements, however at the last one, he faulted for a moment which gave the monster a chance to slam its long arm into his stomach sending him flying. He could hear some cries of his name, but he ignored it, trying to catch himself. Managing to land on his side, he gasped out in frustration and pain and slowly picked himself up to peer towards the monster that was quickly gaining on him, ready to give the finishing move.
'Idiot.'
Just as the monster was about to strike, a purple barrier surrounded him, bouncing off the attack. The creature looked at it for a moment before trying again, but still didn't succeed in getting through. Instead, it turned away and went towards the other humans. Asbel sighed in relief, collapsing back down onto the ground, his body feeling better now that it was resting.
"Thank you, Lambda."
'I don't need it. I only did it because it'll be a pain to find a new host.'
Asbel smiled, knowing the truth. "Regardless, you still have my thanks." He rolled over onto his back and stared up through the shield to the sky, knowing that he'll be safe at this time being. Closing his eyes, he passed out, well aware of his friends calling out to him, finishing off the rest of the monster group. At least he knew that the battle was over. For now, he can sleep off his fatigue.
