He raised his hand again. "Dreamcatcher Snare!"
A wave of dream-essence shot toward Elre, aiming to drain his life force.
But Esim intervened, stepping in front of Elre and casting a hidden spell. A light pulsed from the depths of his chest and formed a faint hexagonal structure around him.
"Elre, I'll take it from here," he said, summoning a shadowy staff out of thin air.
He touched Elre's hand and cast another spell. Then he raised his staff and released dense shadow energy into the air.
"Web of Shadows... to trap me?" Phoebe muttered. Then, without hesitation, he cast Nightmare Cry.
A horrifying divine sound tore through the air, erasing all the shadow essence.
Esim staggered slightly at the intensity of the spell. "That's... Demi-God level energy? No, not quite there yet."
"Elre," he said, his voice grim, "take care of the others."
