The Clown swiftly retreated, attempting to dodge.
However, a crimson gleam flashed, activating the Enchanted Eye.
For an instant, the Clown's movements stiffened. Seizing this window of opportunity, Daniel acted swiftly.
With ferocity, three needle-like bone spikes shot from behind, aiming straight for the Clown's neck.
Yet, just then, shadows bubbled and frothed at the Clown's feet.
Rising up, they enveloped him entirely, effectively parrying Daniel's assault.
The chasm between a level 3 Evolver and a level 4 Evolver wasn't something easily bridged.
The Clown's onslaught was relentless.
Every shadow bullet struck Daniel with unerring precision.
The Devouring Maw couldn't swallow all the attacks flawlessly.
Injuries marked Daniel's body, and although healing energy mended them almost immediately, he was undeniably at a disadvantage.
