*Back at the battlefield*
Edith, Lucian, and Robin fought desperately against the Titanborne, which had been brought to one knee. Despite their combined efforts, their attacks seemed futile. Edith's relentless sword strikes and Lucian's unending barrage of boulders barely scratched its hardened form.
Damn it. Apart from that single attack Karla landed on its tendons, nothing's working, Edith thought, raising her shield to protect herself and Karla, who lay slumped and drained from her earlier assault. Flying debris pelted her shield as the Titanborne's sweeping arm sent shockwaves through the battlefield.
The group had hoped to capitalize on the Titanborne's weakened stance, but their optimism was short-lived. The massive creature ignored Robin's gusts of wind entirely, focusing its attention solely on Edith and Lucian.
