Book 5: Chapter 25 — Arachleon Hunter (3)
Noah stopped Arcane Stepping. Instead, he planted his feet, activated Dragon Shift, and met the beta's next charge head-on. Life Siphon activated at point-blank range, Wyrm's Curse to stack with the Life Siphon.
[Wyrm's Curse] applied to [Darkstalker Arachleon - Beta]!
[Life Siphon] activated.
The abilities reached into the beta's life force and tore it away, siphoning energy directly into Noah's depleted reserves.
Health: 58%... 63%... 71%...
The lion staggered, its movements suddenly sluggish as vitality poured out of its massive form. Noah pressed the attack, his Crimson Spear finding gaps in its guard that hadn't been there before. Each cut spread across the beta's hide, burning and festering.
The creature tried to retreat, but Noah didn't let it. He stayed close, inside its reach, where those spider-legs couldn't get proper leverage. His Dragon Scales took hit after hit, but the life he was draining healed him faster than the beta could damage him.
His claws raked across its face, blinding three of its eight eyes. His blade punched through its chest, seeking the heart.
The beta collapsed.
