The clash between Jayce and the Goblin Shaman intensified, their weapons colliding with a resounding clang that echoed through the alley. But the Goblin Shaman's cunning was apparent as it abruptly struck the ground with its staff, a shockwave rippling outward. Jayce was sent tumbling backward, his balance shattered by the force of the blow. His body collided with the ground, a dull ache radiating through his bones.
Regaining his footing, Jayce's gaze snapped back to the Goblin Shaman, his heart racing. The malevolent creature had once again begun its incantation, a spell laden with ominous energy. But this time, without even needing Jayce's command, the mages and archers sprang into action. A fiery ball of destruction, an icy lance of precision, and a whirling wind blade converged upon the Goblin Shaman in a cacophony of elemental fury.
