Surprise Attack (Part 3)

Nila lifted her hand and blasted a bolt of energy directly at the cultist, ignoring the shadow creature. The bolt of red energy shot forwards and was halfway to the cultist before he even realized it was there.

The shadow moved quickly, it's body turning from a humanoid shape into a wave of shadows as it rushed towards the cultist. The shadow reformed between the cultist and Nilas attack, taking a humanoid shape again.

The energy bolt hit the shadow in the chest and once again it's body glowed slightly before firing the energy out its chest and back towards Nila. This time she was prepared and dodged the attack without issue as the energy blasted a hole through a nearby wall.
