The battlefield roared with divine energy, light and darkness colliding in violent waves.
I crouched among the shadows, crimson eyes scanning every movement. The silver-haired woman stood at my side, her blade a glimmering extension of the shadows themselves.
[SYSTEM ALERT: Coordinated Attack Feasible — Multi-Entity Strategy Recommended]
[Tactical Advantage: Shadow Assimilation + Ally Synchronization]
Arlena, the new obsidian-armored figure, stepped forward cautiously, her energy pulsing. She did not attack immediately but aligned with the rhythm of my shadows, testing synchronization.
I let the system coordinate, shadows moving autonomously, anticipating both divine strikes and Arlena's timing.
[SHADOW DOMINATION — Multi-Entity Precision Active]
The first god struck with blinding speed, targeting Arlena. I reacted instinctively, sending tendrils of shadow to intercept, siphoning energy while shielding her.
The silver-haired woman moved fluidly, striking openings in the divine assault, her presence seamless in the deadly choreography.
[HINT: Ally Bond Strengthened — Tactical Synchrony +20%]
Arlena adjusted, finally striking with controlled force. My shadows mirrored her movements, duplicating attacks with Shadow Echo, each blow siphoning more divine energy.
The gods faltered, their coordination breaking under the unpredictable swarm of shadows and synchronized allies. Even high-ranking divine forces hesitated — a mortal and two allies, orchestrating chaos with lethal precision.
[SYSTEM ALERT: Combat Efficiency Peak — Probability of Victory 72%]
[REWARD: Shadow Overlord Mastery +5%, Darkness Authority Refined, New Skill Available: Umbra Rift — create temporary zones of concentrated shadow to trap multiple enemies]
The silver-haired woman glanced at me, her expression softening for a brief moment.
— You really are a storm in shadows… she said quietly.
I allowed a slight nod, acknowledging her trust without words. Arlena's stance remained cautious, but the system flagged potential loyalty increase.
[HINT: Multi-Entity Cooperation Effective — Future Strategic Advantage Confirmed]
The battle raged on, but for the first time, the predator in shadows felt a measure of confidence. Allies could fight beside me. Shadows could strike with autonomy.
And together, even gods could be challenged.
