The Abyssal Gatekeeper towered before them, its form a swirling mass of darkness and flickering light. Its blade, a jagged construct of crystalline shadow, emitted a low hum that resonated through the chamber like a war drum. The sheer weight of its presence pressed down on Daniel and Mira, testing the limits of their resolve.
Mira adjusted her grip on her blade, her knuckles white with tension. "This thing makes the Warden look like a minnow," she muttered, her voice steady but laced with unease.
Daniel tightened his focus, the Nexus Resonance Core glowing faintly in his grasp. The energy pulsing through it was erratic, as though it too felt the enormity of the foe before them. "Stay sharp," he said, his voice low. "It's not just about strength—it's smarter than the others."
The system chimed:
[Engaging Combat Mode: Abyssal Gatekeeper.]
[Enemy Analysis: Highly adaptive. Be cautious of Dimensional Severance.]
