Elvira's gaze sharpened as she watched Storm move.
Her mind raced, trying to analyze every motion and strike.
'How is this beast doing this?'
She had fought magical creatures before.
She had seen beasts use abilities that looked like magic.
But never at this scale.
This was not brute-force mana like lesser creatures used.
Her body burned from the lightning strikes.
Her muscles screamed with pain.
But her mind stayed clear.
'Is it their bodies?
Their organs?' she thought.
Inferno and Storm's attacks were not wild blasts.
They were structured.
They felt like proper spells.
Her eyes flicked to Storm as he rushed toward her.
'Did they consume some kind of relic?'
She had read about similar things.
Relics that mutated beasts and gave them abilities beyond their normal nature.
'But if it's not that…' Her breath caught. 'Then that means…'
These creatures were not strange mutations.
They were normal for this place.
A slow, cold realization settled in her chest.
