The second wave hit harder and faster, the monsters surging forward with renewed ferocity. Elara stood her ground on the icy platform, her staff glowing as she unleashed a series of frost spells. Cedric and the other adventurers formed a protective line around her, their blades and shields flashing in the dim light. Their coordination allowed Elara to focus on dealing damage, her spells striking with precision and efficiency.
Her confidence grew with every cast. She could feel herself adapting to the chaotic rhythm of the battlefield, where her attention had to shift constantly between the monsters, her allies, and the icy terrain beneath them. Each movement felt more deliberate, her instincts sharpening with every encounter.
"Keep it up, Lady Elara!" Cedric shouted as he cut down a snarling beast that had broken through the line. His voice was steady, filled with an unshakable belief in her. She nodded, channeling her focus into another spell.
