After five intense minutes, the Risen Chief suddenly stopped and didn't attack right away. Instead, she backed off a few meters...
...and then, glowing red lines pulsed across her entire body.
Niara swallowed hard. The enemy had just figured out how to stabilize a large part of her power. Niara could feel a huge sense of danger — like the Risen Chief's killing potential had just skyrocketed. But...
'That's it!' Darian said mentally, now sensing things more clearly.
When Niara heard that, the hairs on her neck stood up. On instinct, she spun around and punched her own side with everything she had.
The Risen Chief had been right in front of her — but the moment Niara moved, it was like the enemy materialized beside her, colliding perfectly with her punch.
*BOOM!*
That clash shattered Niara's fist.
This time, the Risen Chief didn't give her even a second to breathe. Her hand shot straight for Niara's throat. If she managed to grab it, things would get really bad.
