Arpious moved with razor-sharp agility, her eyes blazing with focus as she read the king's next attack. His clawed hand crashed toward her, each talon as long and sharp as a sword, but she sidestepped at the last possible second, twisting her body just out of reach. She spun back in, her fist charged with a burst of frost energy from her Skadi spell, slamming her knuckles into his wrist. The impact exploded in a burst of freezing energy that coated his hand, momentarily locking it in place.
Not missing a beat, Elara swooped down from above, her sword gleaming with holy light as she aimed for the king's now-frozen hand. She landed a precise slash across his crystalline knuckles, severing one of his massive claws with a blinding flash of light. The severed talon shattered upon impact with the ground, and the king bellowed in rage, pulling his frozen hand back, his remaining claws flexing with fury.
