The chamber erupted into chaos as the guardians thundered forward, their stone bodies colliding with the ground, sending tremors rippling through the air. Emily, Alaric, and Mira barely had time to react before the first guardian lunged, its massive fist swinging toward them with lethal force.
"**Get back!**" Alaric shouted, positioning himself between his friends and the oncoming threat. He raised his sword just in time, the blade clashing against the stone fist, sending vibrations up his arm. He gritted his teeth, feeling the weight of the battle surge around him.
Mira was quick on her feet, darting to the side and drawing her daggers. "**We need to find a way to disable them!**" she yelled, her voice steady despite the chaos.
