Chapter 112: The Veilheart Abyss 2
Lyra dodged a claw swipe, but a sentinel’s talon raked her side, reopening her wound and drew a cry of pain.
She staggered, nearly collapsing, but Salaris’s talons ripped through the sentinel and saved her in a blur of feathers and claws, the beast’s core bursted in a violet flash.
Darius took a direct hit, a sentinel’s claw striking his shoulder, his concussion flaring as blood dripped from his brow, but Rhoam’s charge crushed the sentinel, its core shattering under the panther’s iron weight.
"We are losing ground!" Darius shouted, although his voice was cracking, the visions shaked his resolve as Veyra’s red eyes loomed in his mind. "Her army’s too damn strong!"
Kelvin’s mind raced and Veyra’s visions were merged with the rift’s pulse, You are nothing and you will fail. His hands trembled, the image of the Sanctum’s fall flashed before him, but he shook it off, his voice steady.
"Focus on the cores! We will clear the edge!" He pointed to the glowing cores in the sentinels’ chests were pulsing with dark energy, the key to their destruction.
Lyra nodded, her eyes were fierce despite the pain, weaving a multi-layered shadow cage that trapped four sentinels, its tendrils were tightened with crushing force.
Salaris darted between them and her talons slashed cores with surgical precision, her screeches were cutting through the chaos like a blade.
Darius steadied himself, with his grin returning despite the blood streaming down his arm, firing a radial soulstone blast that shattered three cores in a blinding explosion of green light.
Rhoam roared, his iron plates deflected a claw strike and his charge crushed another core and the sentinel collapsed in a heap of armored scales.
