Sixth Floor: The Chamber of Seven Seas (6)

The Crab Man retaliated with a sudden blast of water from its claw, forcing Jesua backward. She somersaulted through the water, her sword slicing through the debris as she stabilized herself. With a quick flick of her wrist, she hurled a dagger toward the creature's glowing eyes. The Crab Man swiped it aside with its claw, but Jesua was already moving, dashing in close with a burst of speed. She spun low, her sword arcing in a deadly curve, aiming for the joints where its carapace met the soft flesh beneath.

The Crab Man let out a guttural growl, bending the water to create a swirling shield around itself. Jesua's blade met resistance as it sliced through the spinning water, but she adjusted her angle, using the shield's momentum to vault over the creature's claw. She landed on its massive shoulder, driving her sword downward into the gap between its armor plates. The creature howled in pain, thrashing wildly to throw her off.
