The electrical assault had damaged them, disrupted their casting, but it hadn't been enough to destroy their cores.
Rhys pulled his daggers from the floor and activated Wind Step, launching himself toward the nearest demon before it could recover.
His enhanced agility carried him across the chamber in two seconds, and his daggers were already moving as he closed the distance.
The demon tried to defend itself, creating a partial ice shield, but Rhys had learned from the entry hall fight.
He didn't attack the shield directly. Instead, he threw one dagger past the demon's guard.
The blade began spinning through the air with perfect balance. Then used his wind magic to curve its trajectory mid-flight.
The dagger struck the demon from behind, punching through the back of its icy form where the core was typically located.
