Lena's voice pierced through the eerie stillness of the forest. Without hesitation, Lucas sprinted toward the sound, pushing past thick undergrowth and leaping over fallen logs. His heart pounded in his chest, adrenaline flooding his system as he emerged into a small clearing.
Lena was running straight toward him, her face pale with terror. Behind her, the ground quivered and bubbled as a massive lava slime surged forward, its molten body pulsing with sinister energy. Unlike before, this one wasn't alone—dozens of smaller lava slimes writhed and slithered around it like a grotesque swarm.
Lucas barely had time to react before the giant slime launched itself into the air, aiming directly for him.
"SPIN DEFENSE!" he shouted instinctively, throwing his right hand forward.
The spin wheel appeared in front of him, glowing with arcane energy. The wheel spun wildly, flickering between countless symbols until it finally clicked into place.
