Screech—!
As if the ritual for taking over the cohort has been interrupted, the rest of the squad has been dropped down from the air, the shadows shrouding them expelled.
"Nicotara!"
Cesar shouted the name of the Nightmare once more, trying to keep it as disoriented as he swiftly approached the group.
Just as he was about to group Quentin who was near him, a puppet shadow tried to crawl its way out. But before it could fully emerge its head, Cesar didn't wait and pounded his foot into the emerging shadow.
It failed to crawl upwards.
But it wasn't the same for other puppets as dozens or so shadows emerged from the ground and targeted Cesar.
"Nicotara!"
Sensing that the Nightmare had almost managed to wake up from the effects of its name, Cesar gave yet another taste of one disadvantage it wielded and used it against the monster by shouting.
Whoosh—!
