Noxhart saw through their plan, of course.
But darkness was everywhere, and the shadows offered perfect cover. It could attack from any direction and retreat into them whenever it pleased.
Unfortunately for Noxhart, this was also the ideal battlefield for Goddess Catheryn.
"Here I come!"
Noxhart's voice suddenly rang out from inside the shield.
This time, it appeared closer than ever, practically in the middle of the group. It flung the energy sphere already formed between its antlers downward, sending the pitch-black orb straight into the crowd.
Without waiting to see the result, Noxhart sank into the darkness and slipped back out of the shield.
The counterattack came a moment too late.
