"Poison attribute?!" The man with the Shadow Element frowned, increasing the pressure on his binding spell.
Gu Jin's lips curled into a smirk. "Too slow."
With a flick of her thoughts, shadows surged from beneath her feet, twisting into clawed hands.
They lashed out, striking the nearest thug and sending him crashing into a wall. His body convulsed before slumping to the ground.
The Shadow user growled and stepped back. He gathered more mana, forming a web of dark chains to reinforce his hold on her.
Gu Jin tilted her head, her dark eyes flashing with eerie amusement.
"You think you can hold me?"
A deep crimson glow flickered in her pupils.
Flames erupted around her, burning away the shadow bindings in an instant.
At the same time, a skeletal aura seeped from her body, wrapping around her like a second skin.
Her fingers stretched, cracking slightly as an undead-like aura pulsed from her.
