The High Priest raised both hands, and the very air shuddered with power.
The Blood Golems surged forward, moving unnaturally fast, their twisted forms shifting and stretching, claws elongating into spears aimed directly at Asher and Serena.
Asher's scythe spun, a wide arc of razor-sharp blood cleaving through the first golem.
SPLASH!
It collapsed into a pool of crimson, but instead of fading, the blood crawled back toward the High Priest, reforming into a new shape.
"Tch. Regeneration."
Serena leaped above him, twisting midair as she hurled her flaming daggers at the High Priest's head.
FWOOOSH!
The flames exploded upon impact, consuming his figure—
But then—
The fire flickered and died.
The High Priest stepped out of the smoke, completely unscathed, his eyes glowing dark red.
"Ah," he sighed. "I do love watching you struggle."
Serena landed beside Asher. "Yeah, he's definitely enjoying this."
