The courtyard had become a slaughterhouse.
Valdris moved like liquid death, its massive form belying the grace with which it fought.
Claws that could rend steel tore through Artifacts and bodies with equal ease. Its flames consumed everything they touched, turning the night into a hellish inferno of orange and red.
A Sunlit Order member tried to activate a Binding Technique, hoping to slow the Divine Beast's movements. Valdris simply roared, and the sonic force of that sound shattered the Mid Sequence move before it could fully activate.
In the same motion, one massive paw swept the attacker aside, breaking bones with a sickening crunch.
"Focus fire on the Beast!" Serena commanded, her whip crackling with energy as she coordinated the assault. "Ignore the automatons for now! We need Valdris down!"
The Order members obeyed, channeling their Ancient MajiK into concentrated attacks.
