"Well, let's start". Noah muttered, taking the first step forward.
And then from the inky ocean, figures began to rise; warriors in rusted armor, spectral knights with hollow eyes.
[You have encountered the Lost Champions!]
The Lost Champions, those who had succumbed to the siren's melody and were now bound as her eternal guards.
BOOM!
They moved, attacking in synchronized, hypnotic movements, as if still moving to the song's rhythm.
Their swords were imbued with echoes of the melody, each strike carrying a faint hum that threatened to sink deeper into the mind.
As for Noah's counter strategy?
He anchored himself by attuning his movements to a different rhythm, using the clashing of weapons and the sounds of his own breathing as a counterpoint to the siren's song.
His Aetherforge, now a Berserker's Greatsword glowed with pulsating energy, each swing emitting shockwaves that disrupted the eerie harmony.
