"Asher!" Herman called out, lashing his whip again. This time, he aimed for the leader's wings, successfully severing one. The Metis snarled in pain and rage, landing heavily on the ground.
"You'll pay for that," the Metis growled, focusing his glowing eyes on Herman. He rushed forward, his speed blurring as he aimed a claw straight for Herman's chest.
Herman braced himself, amplifying his defense just in time to block the attack with his whip, though the force sent him skidding backward. "Asher, now's your chance!"
Asher, still recovering from the earlier blow, surged forward with renewed determination. His Sanguine Supreme ability activated fully, the crimson glow around him intensifying. He feinted left, drawing the Metis' attention, then pivoted right and delivered a devastating punch to the leader's side. The red lightning discharged on impact, causing a crack to appear in the chitin armor.
