The Shadow's Last Stand: Lyle's Ruthless Mastery Unleashed

Lyle's sudden surge in power was overwhelming. The air around him seemed to thicken with a malevolent force as he closed the distance between himself and Walenia. Her senses were assaulted by the eerie visions created by his [Vampiric Eye], a skill that tapped into the deepest fears and nightmares of its victims.

The scene before her transformed into a gruesome tableau of blood and death. Lyle's silhouette was cast against a backdrop of crimson, surrounded by a sea of corpses. The overwhelming sensation threatened to paralyze her, but with sheer willpower, Walenia shook off the effects.

Lyle, with an almost supernatural speed, closed the gap in an instant. His dagger, wreathed in a swirling mist of blood, descended upon her. Walenia raised her daggers in a desperate attempt to block, but the impact of the strike sent shockwaves through her arms. She skidded backward, her footing unsteady.
