Berko, wielding his newly acquired Tier 5 sword, matches Grixx's movements, the blade slicing through the air with lethal accuracy. Alix, maintaining composure, channels protective wards to shield his comrades from the onslaught.
Amidst the clash, Grixx identifies the leader of the assailants—a slightly larger Umbral Stalker issuing silent commands. With a decisive maneuver, Grixx disarms and subdues the leader, pinning it to the ground.
"Hold still," Grixx growls, tightening his grip.
The remaining Umbral Stalkers, witnessing their leader's capture, retreat into the shadows, their forms melding seamlessly with the darkness.
Alix approaches the captive, his eyes narrowing. "We mean you no harm unless provoked. Why did you attack us?"
The creature's voice hisses through the magical translation. "Intruders... in our domain... must be eliminated."
