Talons of Blood and Bloom (5).

The battlefield pulsed with chaos.

The {Black-mouth Crawlers} that slammed their twisted limbs against the golden cage that Cain had summoned let out spine chilling cries and shrieks, Their tar-black exoskeletons grinding against and sullying the radiant bars.

Each impact sent a shockwave of dark energy rippling through the air, but the runic enchantments held firm, trapping them like vermin awaiting execution.

Their shrieks rose in discordant harmony, their many-eyed faces twisting in rage. Their mission was to make sure the brood was not killed off here. As long as even a single one of them managed to escape, a new hive of {Black-mouth Crawlers} would appear.

High above, the {Argent Amphithere} circled the building like a serpent of the sky. The moonlight gleamed across its silver scales, and its platinum eyes burned with a ferocious hunger.

Hunter and Roselle had already carved their way into the thick of battle.
