Elvira's fingers flicked through the air, casting small, rapid glyphs. "Hallowed Step."
A surge of mana burst beneath her feet, launching her sideways just as the Alpha lunged again. Its claws carved through the air where she'd been just a moment ago. She appeared behind it.
"Hallowed Dagger!"
A blade of pure light formed in her palm. She thrust it forward, not at the Alpha's core—but at its knee joint, slicing across the back of its leg.
The Alpha stumbled, balance thrown. It spun to retaliate, but Elvira was already gone—dashing to its side, her spells flowing in a tight, deliberate rhythm.
"Frost Nova."
Ice burst outward from her body in a tight radius, freezing the Alpha's feet in place for just a second—but that second was all she needed.
"Fulminis Sagitta!"
A concentrated bolt of lightning pierced into the Alpha's arm before it could lift its claw, the impact causing it to convulse and falter.
