As Maria and her loyal summons stood ready, the ice specter's glowing eyes fixed upon them, a palpable sense of tension filling the air.
Slowly, the specter's icy form began to shift and contort, a deep, rumbling growl emanating from its ethereal being. Frost crept across the cavern floor, the temperature plummeting even further as the specter's power surged.
Maria steeled her nerves, her gaze unwavering. "Now!" she called out, and her summons sprang into action, their attacks striking the specter with a fury of elemental might.
Ice Flames and gusts of wind lashed at the specter, but its icy defenses held firm. In retaliation, tendrils of frost lashed out, forcing Maria and her summons to dodge and weave, their coordination tested to the limit.
Gritting her teeth, Maria channeled more of her power, the air around her crackling with icy energy.
