Broken smirked, seeing the shock etched on Archer's face. He was just about to land the blow, a strike that would certainly deal heavy damage to an archer caught off guard in close range, especially without any support to protect him.
"Enough!" a commanding voice rang out from across the room. It was Marlene.
But Broken showed no intention of stopping his attack. Just as he was about to strike, a swift shadow, the wolf, darted across the room, engulfing Archer and dragging him into the floor. The archer vanished in an instant, leaving Broken with his pickaxe halted mid-swing.
"The fight is over," Marlene declared, her voice cutting through the tension.
Broken quickly deactivated the Water Domain, the torrents of water retracting in a swift, fluid motion back into his cape. The room returned to normal, but everyone was still in shock, stunned by how quickly everything had unfolded.
