Clank!
The spear of the bone monster struck Cynthia's shield. Another monster raised its mace, aiming straight for her head.
Cynthia activated her shield's skill.
"Obliterate!"
The single eye embedded in the shield snapped open, releasing a vapor of darkness that engulfed the bone monster's spear. The creature immediately let go of its weapon and leapt back.
"Darkness Slash!"
Cynthia slashed her blade in a horizontal arc. A black aura trailed from the blade as it carved forward, crashing into the chest of the mace-wielding monster.
Clunk!
The impact sent the creature flying backward into the water. Its mace clattered to the ground with a heavy thud.
All of this happened in mere seconds.
The monster that leapt back pulled two ribs from its own torso. As it gripped them, the bones twisted and reshaped into a pair of daggers. Without pause, it sprinted toward Cynthia, daggers poised to strike.
Ping! Ping! Clank!
