As Laura's clones closed in from both sides, Viru swiftly shifted his focus to the mastery of Air magic. His outstretched palms commanded the currents of the mystical battlegrounds, summoning powerful gusts of air to create a defensive whirlwind. The howling winds formed an invisible barrier, attempting to deflect Laura's advancing rapier strikes.
The gusts of air, under Viru's control, became an intricate dance of defense, intercepting the rapier thrusts with precision. Laura's clones, with agile movements, attempted to navigate the turbulent currents, but Viru's manipulation of the air created a formidable obstacle.
Cressida and Alex found themselves surrounded by Viru's summoned undead beasts, a ghastly assembly of creatures that included a mighty Grayon resembling a fusion of panther and gorilla, alongside dire wolves, boars, and bears, all twisted by dark magic into grotesque forms.
