The battlefield trembled beneath their feet. Dust swirled around them as the colossal Abyssal Thornfiend loomed overhead, its vines lashing through the air like whips. The beast had adapted—its defenses hardened against their attacks.
Raj tightened his grip on his weapon, his voice steady despite the chaos. "It doesn't matter if it's evolving. We still have to fight!"
Without hesitation, they all lunged forward.
Aamir dashed ahead, his sword gleaming as he aimed for one of the thick vines. He swung hard, expecting to cut clean through—but the blade barely left a mark. The impact sent a dull shock up his arm.
"What the hell?!" he gritted his teeth.
The others attacked from all sides. Seenu's sword strikes were swift, Kunal weaved through the battlefield like a blur, and Raj's fists crackled with energy as he punched straight into the monster's vines.
But then—
The beast suddenly stopped.
Everyone froze.
