[COMBAT EVENT — SNAKE ATTACK (40 TARGETS)][EPIC COMBO 25 — "FIRE AND SHADOW ABYSS CUT"]

Type: Elite Coordinated Attack

Lira charges forward at high speed, fists wrapped in pulsating flames, every strike making the air crack and fracture. Snakes that try to approach are struck by blows that leave trails of living fire, burning flesh and metal as she spins among them in a deadly dance of concentrated flames.

At the same time, Rodyn wields his two long shadow blades, and rats emerge in visible swarms—black, deformed, with red eyes and sharp teeth—corrupting everything they touch. Any enemy reached by the rats is devoured and absorbed, leaving only shattered bones and black ash.

Attack Sequence: 1–5 — "Flaming Fury and Shadow Cuts"

Lira strikes three enemies with a punch that releases a concentrated wave of flames. Rodyn appears behind them, cutting horizontally and splitting two Snakes in half. The rats already swarm the remaining bodies, tearing flesh apart and vanishing back into the shadows.

Attack Sequence: 6–10 — "Lethal Disappearance"

Rodyn vanishes into pure shadow, reappearing inside the enemy line, both blades piercing one Snake through the chest and another through the abdomen, splitting them in a single precise motion. Lira follows, spinning and unleashing flaming blows that take down three enemies at once, staining the ground black and red.

Attack Sequence: 11–15 — "Devastating Swarm"

Rodyn's rats surge forward en masse, leaping and clinging to the remaining bodies. Each enemy is disintegrated until nothing remains, while the dark spikes of Rodyn's blades cut down anyone attempting to flee. Lira synchronizes spinning attacks, spreading concentrated fire across the floor and walls, creating an explosion of heat and shadow that disorients attackers.

Attack Sequence: 16–20 — "Mortal Symphony"

Lira and Rodyn move as a single unit. She spins, strikes, and releases vertical flames; Rodyn vanishes and reappears along parallel lines, shredding anything that resists, while rats follow every strike, devouring any trace of resistance.

Attack Sequence: 21–25 — "Disappearance and Execution"

Rodyn vanishes into shadow, reappearing behind the Snakes and splitting them in half with both blades. Lira strikes with flaming horns and fists, fire dancing in geometric patterns, while shadow rats devour the remains until nothing is left but drained energy.[TARGETS NEUTRALIZED x5] XP +450

Attack Sequence: 26–30 — "Phantom Cut"

Rodyn disappears again, becoming a living shadow crossing the battlefield. He resurfaces behind the remaining Snakes, his long shadow blades carving the air and creating ethereal edges that split enemies in half.Lira follows with synchronized flaming punches, each impact releasing explosions of heat and black fire that scorch the ground and cause shadow rats to multiply instantly, devouring everything left behind.[TARGETS NEUTRALIZED x5] XP +700

Attack Sequence: 31–35 — "Storm of Rats and Flames"

The last five Snakes attempt to react. Rodyn spreads his shadows across the ground like living webs, binding and stretching the enemies. Lira spins and delivers fire blows directly into each Snake's back as grotesque rats emerge in hordes, devouring flesh and energy.Every movement is perfectly synchronized—a deadly ballet of shadow and fire—leaving the area nearly unrecognizable, covered in black flames and scattered bones.[TARGETS NEUTRALIZED x5] XP +800

Attack Sequence: 36–37 — "Piercing Shadow"

Rodyn disappears within Lira's shadow and emerges behind the final Snakes, slicing them in half with supernatural precision as Lira strikes with flaming horns, heat warping the air itself.Shadow rats finish the job, devouring everything until only residual energy remains.[TARGETS NEUTRALIZED x4] XP +750

Attack Sequence: 38 — "Flames and Whispers"

Lira slams the ground, unleashing a wave of black fire that spreads like a mantle, while Rodyn sharpens every wave with shadow manipulation. The factory seems to twist in on itself, walls and floors rippling under the fusion of energies.[TARGETS NEUTRALIZED x4] XP +800

Attack Sequence: 39 — "Final Abyss"

Rodyn expands his shadows into tentacles that tear through any space between them and the enemies, splitting the last Snakes without a chance to defend.In the same rhythm, Lira strikes with horns and flaming fists, each impact leaving a smoking crater as shadow rats absorb what remains.[TARGETS NEUTRALIZED x4] XP +850

Attack Sequence: 40 — "Fusion Eclipse"

Rodyn and Lira stand together, Rodyn's shadow merging with Lira's black flames, forming a visually impossible entity—a living storm of shadow and fire pulsing over the warped factory floor.With one final synchronized strike, both forces pierce the last enemies at once, leaving the area completely clean as shadows, flames, and grotesque rat remnants slowly dissipate.
