The monster clenched its fist, channeling a massive surge of energy into its palm. “Now, behold my power!” It unleashed a devastating blast of energy, the sheer force of it cracking the lunar surface as it barreled toward the group.
Joseph, thinking quickly, threw himself in front of the blast. “I’ve got this!” he shouted, summoning a powerful shield to absorb the attack. The energy collided with him, the impact shaking the ground beneath his feet.
Meanwhile, the others scattered in all directions, executing a hastily formulated plan. Mai flanked the monster, preparing to exploit its blind spot, while Mari and Tomoya coordinated their strikes to create an opening.
As the dust settled from the energy blast, Joseph lowered his shield, his body strained but unyielding. He grinned defiantly at the monster. “That all you got?”
The battle raged on, but now the group fought with renewed purpose, determined to outsmart and outlast their monstrous foe.
