Benedict observed it closely. He had to admit that the monster's pitch-black hide was just like his own ears.
A Black Beast howled as it charged the camp's defensive line. A Knight speared it with his Knight Lance and flicked it upward. At that moment, the monster shifted its posture, rising from a beastly, four-legged stance to stand upright. This gave the three newcomers a clearer view—it was undeniably a mutated Elf.
Rorschach and Caroline also joined the battle. With a flurry of hand gestures, Caroline unleashed several sharp blades. They resembled invisible streams of sword energy, but were actually displaced spatial rifts. They moved through spacetime like sharp, rapidly propagating waves, slicing cleanly through every vile spawn in their path until their energy was spent and they vanished into the distance.
