Seeing this, Arpious broke away from the first knight, her eyes narrowing with focus. She extended her hand, summoning the power of [Forbidden Magic: Medusa], sending tendrils of petrifying energy snaking toward the knights. The ground beneath her feet cracked, trembling under the weight of her power, and the first knight barely dodged as one of his legs began to turn to stone. He roared, his halberd striking down with enough force to split the earth as he staggered, his movements growing clumsy under the added weight.
The first knight retaliated, swinging his heavy halberd with ferocious strength. Arpious ducked, feeling the air shift as it whistled past her head. She retaliated with a sweeping leg kick, aiming for his knee to further destabilize him. Her strike landed true, and the knight stumbled, giving her a split-second opening to conjure frost around his legs, locking him in place.
