Dyralfa finally paused, her movements slowing from pure, primal instinct. Her gaze sharpened, calculating.
"Mother's Absolute Light armor… it's nearly impervious. Any normal strike I throw will do nothing… I'm wasting my strength. Hmm… I need to infuse true damage into every attack."
She bellowed, voice shaking the chamber:
"DΣMӨПIᄃ BᄂӨӨD ΛЯƬ: AGONY SCALES!"
Her muscles bulged, the braided steel-like fibers beneath her skin glowing a furious, deep red. She poured her own vitality into the surge, trading life force for a massive spike in true damage. Her claws, now wreathed in shadowy energy, raked across Maddy's radiant armor, cutting glowing gashes into the solidified light.
Maddy chuckled, eyes gleaming with Divine Sight.
"Oh! Finally learning, huh? Took you long enough."
Her laugh was warm but sharp.
"Show me that Ogre pride! But remember—if you wield the Drake's body, you must awaken its Alpha Instinct!"
