The Wood War Horse, anticipating a direct assault, trotted sideways, sprouting brambles across the grass with its [Verdant Growth] skill to hamper Little White's approach.
Seeing the brambles, Little White activated [Moonlight Empowerment] again, pushing a burst of speed into his limbs. He leaped high, soaring over the spiky vines as a shimmering silver aura enveloped him. Twisting in midair, he launched [Lunar Slash] skill downward in a crescent arc.
The Wood War Horse whinnied, summoning a wall of barklike armor to shield itself at the last moment. Splinters flew as Little White's attack collided with the barrier, and although it didn't fully break through, fractures lined the protective shell.
On the opposite side of the battlefield, Frostfang snarled as he blasted the Fire War Horse with a concentrated ice beam from his maw, an improvised combination of breath and shards he called [Frost Nova Breath] skill.
