The next clash came like thunder in silence.
Kael caught one sword against his dagger, the second against the vambrace on his left arm. The third thrust toward his stomach.
He twisted.
Too slow.
The tip pierced flesh. He grunted—but drove his foot into the attacker's knee joint. The construct stumbled. Kael used the moment to twist, slash, and end it.
Two left.
His vision pulsed—not with light, but pressure. A faint aura he hadn't felt before.
Another? No...
The constructs were hesitant. Holding position.
Kael swayed.
[Warning: HP at 1%]
Then—flash. Nothing visible. Just a shift in pressure.
One construct lunged.
Kael didn't think twice. He reacted instantly.
He dropped flat, then punched upward—fist meeting metal chin. His dagger followed. Crunch!
Aura shattered. One remained.
Kael rose. Legs barely holding. Hands shaking.
Then—
A second pulse.
System Notification: Passive skill [Eldritch Reversal] triggered.
Kael's aura exploded.
