On the other side...
The ghoul lunged, its elongated claws slicing through the air.
Lucian ducked in time, his breath visible in the cold mist that radiated from his sword. He then twisted his body, slamming his shoulder into the creature's ribs, sending it staggering backward.
"Victoria!!"
Victoria leaped into the fray. The wind swirled around her hands, and with a flick of her fingers, a burst of compressed air shot forward, hammering the ghoul's chest and sending it skidding across the dirt.
It recovered unnaturally fast, vaulting forward on all fours like a beast.
Lucian barely had time to react before it launched upon him. He raised his sword to parry, but the ghoul kicked off the blade mid-air and slammed its knee into his chest.
The impact sent him sprawling.
"I'll cover up!"
Victoria shot forward, spinning as she dropped low.
