Foxy set her down by the door and faced the monsters. Eva watched as her beast devoured their life force, but no matter how many it consumed, the creatures kept coming—endless and relentless.
Then Foxy lashed out with its tails—each one striking down six monsters at once, absorbing their energy even as it fought, buying Eva enough time to heal her wounds.
Loud shrieks and the crack of bones hitting the floor echoed through the room, each sound intensifying Eva's pain.
Eva broke out in cold sweat as she pressed her limp legs to check her condition—her bones had been crushed, and the only way to heal herself was to absorb the surrounding life force and mend her bones.
She knew it was going to be a painful process, but she couldn't dwell on it—Foxy was struggling to protect her and fight off the monsters at the same time.
Eva took a deep breath. She had never absorbed life force energy before, and the idea of draining someone's life until they shrank like mummies made her uneasy.
