Varkus responded with a burst of dark energy, forming a protective shield around himself. The ground shook as Krogg's warhammer struck the barrier, causing cracks to spiderweb across its surface. Varkus pushed back against the assault, his obsidian blade flashing as he unleashed a rapid series of strikes.
Krogg's earth element allowed him to manipulate the terrain to his advantage. Spikes of rock erupted from the ground, creating a treacherous battleground. Varkus deftly dodged and weaved through the deadly terrain, his dark element allowing him to move with unnatural agility.
Their clash continued, a dance of raw power and precision. Krogg's strikes were heavy and unrelenting, each blow threatening to shatter Varkus's defenses. Meanwhile, Varkus countered with swift, calculated movements, his obsidian blade seeking vulnerabilities in Krogg's attacks.
