Abyssal Court

With a subtle gesture from Aiden, the ambush was sprung.

A rune etched into the ground exploded with blinding light, momentarily disorienting the Shadow Blades. Myne's shadows surged forward like living tendrils, ensnaring two operatives before they could react. The air hummed with energy as Aiden's team launched their assault.

Aiden moved like a predator, his blade flashing in the moonlight as he engaged the nearest Shadow Blade. Their swords clashed, the impact resonating through the forest. His opponent was skilled, their strikes precise and unrelenting, but Aiden's movements were sharper, his strikes imbued with the power of his Martial Spirits.

To his left, Myne emerged from the shadows, her daggers slicing through the air with deadly precision. The operatives caught in her traps struggled against the shadowy tendrils, but her grip was unyielding. She dispatched them swiftly, her movements a dance of lethal grace.
