"Clang!"
A muffled resonance rang out as the BOSS's sinister claw clashed with the steadfast shield Sebastian wielded, creating a crisp harmonic sound.
A tremendous force jolted through Sebastian's arm, nearly wresting the shield from his grasp.
But gritting his teeth and refusing to relent, he countered with an upward thrust of his sword, marking the BOSS with a fresh wound.
The sight left everyone agog: Sebastian, a magus class, had drawn a sword and shield, daring to go toe-to-toe with the BOSS?
Was he somehow bypassing class restrictions, wielding melee equipment designated for other classes?
"Everyone, brace yourselves! The BOSS's berserk state will end in 10 seconds! Hold on!"
Mia's voice rang out, injecting a shot of morale into the team.
A magus, Sebastian, equipping a sword and shield, standing stalwart against the BOSS's onslaught?
