The battlefield trembled under the enemy leader's sudden surge of energy.
Crimson veins of power radiated from him, shaking the very ground. Every shadow around me tensed, sensing the immense force he projected.
[SYSTEM ALERT: Enemy Leader Full Power Activated — Extreme Threat Level]
[Suggested Action: Maximum Defensive & Offensive Coordination]
I tightened my grip on the spear, letting shadows wrap around my body like living armor. Crimson eyes glowed as I activated Abyssal Eclipse, shrouding the battlefield in near-impenetrable darkness.
The silver-haired woman moved fluidly through the shadows, striking with precision. Arlena mirrored her attacks, energy surging in perfect sync with mine.
[HINT: Multi-Entity Coordination — Maximum Efficiency]
[Shadow Echo + Abyssal Command + Abyssal Eclipse — Fully Integrated]
The leader struck, a wave of energy cleaving through the darkness. Shadows reacted instantly, intercepting, siphoning, and countering attacks. Yet even with full control, the force of his strikes tested the limits of my power.
[SYSTEM ALERT: Maximum Threshold Approaching — Mortal Endurance Limit 90%]
I pressed forward, crimson eyes blazing. Shadows coiled, strikes amplified by Shadow Echo, allies striking openings with deadly precision. The battlefield became a blur of movement, steel, and darkness.
[REWARD: Shadow Overlord Mastery +5%, New Skill Unlocked: Eternal Umbra Barrage — unleash multiple concentrated shadow attacks simultaneously]
The enemy leader faltered slightly, clearly surprised at the predator's adaptability and coordination. His strikes became more cautious, revealing openings I could exploit.
The silver-haired woman glanced at me, her lips curling into a faint, approving smile.
— You're pushing beyond limits… she whispered.
Arlena's energy remained steady, her stance alert yet confident, the system marking full tactical synergy.
Crimson eyes met the leader's once more. The predator in shadows did not retreat, did not hesitate.
Even at the edge of mortal endurance, I would not yield.
The storm had only grown stronger.
