While the hounds were momentarily disoriented, Elara, recognizing the opportunity, sprang into action. Her swift movements and precise strikes were aimed at the vulnerabilities of the spectral creatures. She maneuvered among them, exploiting their momentary confusion, landing strikes that disrupted their spectral forms.
The dance between light and swift, strategic strikes wove a tapestry of chaos in the underbrush. The Nightmare Hounds, while relentless, were temporarily thrown off balance by the dynamic duo's combined efforts.
However, the hounds were resilient, and their pursuit persisted. Arpious and Elara had to maintain their intense coordination and synchronize their movements to outwit these spectral creatures.
Through a continuous display of dazzling light and coordinated strikes, the pair managed to disorient and scatter the hounds, forcing them to retreat back into the shadows from whence they came.
