Ruby quickly scanned her surroundings and noticed a patch of darkness on the ground. A shadow existing in such a brightly lit area could only mean one thing: a Shadowling.
An invisible slash shot towards the shadow, leaving a massive crack on the hard rock street.
The shadowling, however, split into countless smaller shadows, dodging the attack and flying towards Ruby at high speed. They then merged back into their original form in front of her.
A black dagger thrust towards Ruby's chest, but she parried it with her blade. Spatial energy instantly locked down the surrounding area, but it failed to trap the Shadowling, who dodged again.
However, the surroundings were now brightly lit, and the Shadowling had lost its greatest advantage. It was still fast, but its speed was nothing compared to Ruby, who possessed spatial magic.
