But the next Crab Man wasn't so easily deterred. It charged, swinging its massive claws with deadly precision. Sylus raised his staff defensively, creating a thick wall of ice to intercept the strike. The Crab Man's claws collided with the ice, cracking the surface, but Sylus was ready. He summoned a burst of freezing energy, sending a spray of sharp ice shards into the creature's exposed body. The Crab Man howled in pain, retreating momentarily as Sylus advanced, summoning pillars of ice from the water below, trapping the creature and limiting its movement.
Two more Fishmen surrounded him, their weapons glinting in the dim light. Sylus kept his focus, his staff glowing with a cold aura as he froze the water between them, sending a spear of ice shooting out in rapid succession. The Fishmen attempted to dodge, but Sylus' attacks were too fast, and they were pierced by the sharp spears, their bodies freezing instantly as the water around them solidified.
