The monster let out another roar, its echo shaking the ground beneath them. Liria instinctively stepped in front of Enara, gripping her sword so tightly her knuckles turned white.
"Stay behind me!" she barked, her voice leaving no room for argument.
Enara crossed her arms, scowling. "I don't need protection from you, of all people."
Liria ignored her, her eyes glowing faintly as she focused on the monster. [Stats: Gargantuan Hellbeast – Level 20. Health: 10,000/10,000. Strength: 80. Agility: 35. Magic: 25. Weakness: Piercing Damage.]
Great. A walking, roaring apocalypse with an ego to match. Perfect.
"Just our luck," Liria muttered. "It's over-leveled, overpowered, and probably overcompensating for something."
"Are you talking about the monster or yourself?" Enara quipped, smirking despite the looming threat.
