Lightning tore through the obsidian sanctum as the warlord Azarath had chained to the wall shattered her bindings with a banshee scream. In a heartbeat, she was upon him—her scythe splitting into twin, rune-etched blades that spun around her like orbiting new moons. Azarath barely managed to parry, shadows and sparks flying as their weapons collided with a thunderous clang that rattled the chamber.
She pressed her assault, teleporting with every strike, her afterimages flickering.
Azarath, eyes narrowing, vanished into shadow, reappearing behind her in a burst of black mist. He unleashed a barrage of spectral blades—each one a rippling crescent of demon energy that carved through stone and sent shockwaves through the air. But the warlord’s form blurred, her body splitting into three identical copies that blocked the onslaught and retaliated, all attacking at once with a storm of lightning bolts.
