It took a step
It made one charge.
The conjurer never finished standing because his body was crushed into the ground as the beast slammed forward.
His bones snapped, and blood got sprayed. The Enhancer screamed and swung wildly, striking stone instead of flesh.
The beast turned and crushed him next.
Two were gone in less than five seconds.
Elsewhere, things were no better.
A noble pair argued loudly the moment they landed.
"This is your fault."
"You think I wanted you?"
"Stay behind me."
"No, you stay behind me."
The ground trembled.
A six-legged creature crawled up from beneath the stone. Its body was made of hardened mud and bone fragments.
It shrieked as fear aura flooded outward.
The Conjurer froze instantly.
The Enhancer cursed, then grabbed the Conjurer by the collar and dragged him backward while trying to channel his own power.
His aura flared too fast and a bit too sloppily, causing the backlash to tear through his muscles.
