I didn't wait for them to reach me. Taking the initiative was crucial when facing multiple Transcendent opponents and Elite support simultaneously.
My blood enhancement surged to maximum output, every muscle fiber flooded with more power as I launched myself forward to meet their charge head-on. The Crimson Moon Pendant burned even brighter, consuming spider blood at an accelerated rate to fuel abilities beyond my normal limits.
The largest Transcendent crashed toward me like a living battering ram, its massive carapace gleaming with natural Armor that had turned aside countless weapons. Behind it, the two flanking alphas spread wide while Elite survivors rushed in to fill gaps and create overwhelming pressure.
I targeted the lead Transcendent with a devastating sword strike, my enhanced blade carving through one of its forward legs. The limb separated cleanly, spraying ichor across the stone floor as the creature stumbled from the sudden imbalance.
Slash! Severed!
