Chương 214: The Price of Victory      

Yuzuro channeled her light magic. Her staff glowed with a brilliant radiance, dispelling the darkness around them. 

The Shroudling recoiled, its shadowy form flickering in the harsh light. Seizing the opportunity, Victor and Rever lunged at it while Midnight Duchess hurled another dagger, aiming for the creature's critical spots. 

Their blades and claws struck true, piercing the Shroudling's form.

But it wasn't enough to kill the Shroudling. Undeterred, it retaliated. With [Shadow Step], it vanished from sight, teleporting to another area of darkness within the chamber.

The battle continued, Xin and the others now on guard, aware of the Shroudling's deadly abilities.

The Shroudling, cunning and swift, continued its onslaught, its actions shrouded in darkness.
