Under the cover of darkness, the team moved into position. Cassian and the scouts climbed a nearby ridge, their bows and crossbows at the ready. Roland and Lyra took point, leading the main assault.

When the first arrow flew, it struck true, embedding itself in the neck of a Rift beast. The creature collapsed, and chaos erupted as the others scrambled to react. Cassian’s team rained down arrows, thinning the enemy ranks before they could organize.

“Now!” Damien shouted, charging forward with Ebonfang glowing in his hands.

Roland met the first wave, his shield absorbing the brunt of the attack while his sword struck down anything that got too close. Lyra moved with deadly precision, her twin blades carving through the horde as she weaved between the larger brutes.

Damien pushed through the chaos, his focus locked on the Rift Commander. The creature turned, raising its staff to unleash a wave of dark energy. Damien activated Phase Step, blinking out of harm’s way and reappearing behind the Commander. He struck with Astral Slash, the wave of energy staggering the creature but not bringing it down.

The Commander retaliated, its staff slamming into the ground and sending a shockwave that knocked Damien off balance. Before it could press the attack, an arrow from Cassian struck its shoulder, buying Damien a moment to recover.

With a roar, Damien unleashed Void Cleave, his blade cutting through the Commander’s defenses. The creature faltered, its dark energy flickering.

“Roland! Lyra! Now!” Damien called out.

The two warriors joined him, their combined attacks overwhelming the Commander. With a final strike, Damien drove Ebonfang into its chest, and the creature dissolved into mist.
