The gnomes watched from afar as fire engulfed the whole cavern where Ganta and the shadow drakaina went. The stone melted into red lava, and the ceiling shook, almost crumbling down.
The shadow drakaina survived the blast but not without sustaining a large wound. She might've been immune to damage while in her shadow form, but the light from the breath ripped her shadow apart and wounded her.
Ganta wasn't in good shape either. Her whole body was now bleeding, and she was holding on to the last strand of her life. Largely thanks to how powerful Arad's scale was. It put such a deadly pressure on her.
She looked forward, and from within her blurred vision, she saw the drakaina charging a shadow breath. If that breath hit her, it would rip her shadow apart and kill her.
Ganta smiled. She had already pushed her body over its limit. In fact, she had survived two direct hits from a powerful drakaina, one she was sure was powerful enough to kill her with a single swipe.
