Lila, unfazed, summoned a powerful ice wall to block the creatures' advance. The frost crystallized in the air as the dark beasts crashed into it, freezing instantly. But Misty's magic was relentless. More shadows poured from the vortex, trying to overwhelm Lila's defenses.
Lila wasted no time, summoning her frosty aura. A swirling blizzard enveloped her, and she lunged forward with her icy blades. Misty, however, was prepared. With a quick flick of her wrist, she called forth a dome of shadows, her dark magic shielding her from the incoming attack. The shadows twisted and morphed around her, almost alive, as they lashed out at Lila, who deflected them with her ice, leaving trails of frost in the air.
As the crowd watched in anticipation, Misty's eyes glowed with a faint purple light. "Let's slow things down a bit, shall we?"
