I infused my katana with the dark, pulsating energy of [Dark Magic: Shadow Katana]. The weapon hummed with power, an extension of my resolve to protect Lyra and the captured students.
With it, I could slash through the shadows and even the mighty Dark Knight of the Abyss. Without divine or light magic in my arsenal, this dark energy would be my sole means of defeating them—absorbing their essence into my blade.
Using my ultimate attack from the battle with Canis crossed my mind, but it wasn't an option here. That technique consumed an immense amount of energy, and its destructive force was far too risky in this enclosed space. The building could collapse, burying everyone here. No, I needed a more measured approach.
Gripping my katana tighter, I rushed forward with enhanced speed using my trait [Shadow Conquers], 50% multiplied my agility. As I neared the Dark Knight's striking range, I weaved through its massive, clumsy swings, dodging each strike by mere inches.
