"Rrrroooaarrrrrr!" Evelina's agonized roar filled the air as she grappled with the excruciating pain, the darkness threatening to consume her from within.
"E-Eve..." Mariel's shocked expression mirrored her inner turmoil. She hadn't anticipated Evelina, already weakened, to be so profoundly affected by the dark mana's onslaught. If it could consume Evelina to this extent, Mariel dreaded to think what it might do to her.
"You guys are really a pain in the ass," the hooded figure muttered, frustration evident in her voice as she removed what remained of her hood.
'Trrrr' With a tearing sound, the last remnants of the hood fell away, revealing a woman figure clad in black armour, a helmet adorned with small wings concealing her face.
The air around her crackled with dark energy, the manifestation of the malevolent power she wielded.
"sssshhh"
