Abyssal Assassination Attempt

The air in front of them shimmered, warping as the illusion faded with a cadence as though reality itself were being torn apart.

From the distortions Lassim's spiritual sense caught a figure cloaked in shifting shadows and emerald light.

Nalzerak, the Kharthi Abyssal assassin, stood tall and menacing, his angular, inhuman jawline features stretched upward into a twisted grin. His emerald eyes glowed with an unnatural intensity, the mirage-like distortion around his body making it difficult for Lassim to pinpoint his approach.

Catching sight of the attacker happened in a fraction of a second before Nalzerak's mirage-like form flickered again, and then he was in motion. His claws slashed through the air faster than Lassim could track, forcing him to put as much power into [Lifestream Aegis] as he could.
