The shift in strategy to focus on physical attacks intensified the battle. Astrid, wielding her spear with formidable strength, launched consecutive strikes at the guardian. The clash between Astrid and the guardian unfolded at an unimaginable speed, their movements blurring in the heat of combat.
As the intense melee continued, Seraphine seized an opportunity to contribute. She pulled the trigger of her shotgun, unleashing a quick shot toward the figure.
Despite the simplicity of an ordinary lead bullet, the attack proved effective as the guardian instinctively raised its arm to block the shot. A visible crack marred the surface of the wooden figure's arm in response to Seraphine's attack.
