Elara spotted her friend's brief struggle and shot down, delivering a burst of magic to the skeleton's chest. The creature was momentarily stunned, allowing Arpious to jump back to her feet, and together, they unleashed a torrent of ice and magical blasts to disintegrate it completely.
The hall was littered with shattered bones, melted metal, and fragments of stone as they continued to push forward, each movement becoming sharper, faster, and more ruthless as the battle raged on. The sheer number of enemies was overwhelming, but neither Arpious nor Elara faltered. They adapted to the rhythms of the onslaught, their bond in combat becoming their strongest weapon against the unending wave of undead. And slowly, inch by hard-fought inch, they made their way closer to the throne.
