Nexus, watching helplessly, felt a surge of concern for Crystal. "Crystal!" he called out, his voice filled with worry.
The tension in the air escalated as Crystal struggled to rise, her determination evident despite the pain she endured. The giant Slayer's defenses seemed impenetrable, and the realization of their dire situation settled upon the group like a heavy fog.
"These giants are too strong!" Crystal shouted, frustration and desperation coloring her words. It was evident that her attacks had failed to penetrate the defenses of the formidable Slayer.
Nora, Madeline, and Monica exchanged anxious glances. The plan had seemed foolproof, yet the giants proved to be a force beyond their expectations.
As the moon cast an eerie glow on the forest floor, Fitch and his group caught up with the chaotic scene. The shattered wireworms lay in disarray, remnants of the intense battle between the assassins and the elusive creatures.
