Blossom moved first.
The dogkin's senses had caught the shift before the warhammer connected. The change in Ragnar's scent, the spike of adrenaline through dwarven pores. Her body was already shifting through the void when the CLANG rang across the field, and she emerged from the shadow at Ragnar's flank with her claw gauntlets aimed at the seam between his pauldron and his gorget.
"[Null Rend]!"
The void-enhanced strike should have phased past steel. That was what a Void Stalker did.
Ragnar's blacksteel didn't care.
The gold runes carved into his armor blazed the instant her claws made contact, and the void energy that should have phased past the plate hit a barrier so dense it felt like punching a mountain. The runes rejected the void energy outright, reflecting it back into Blossom's gauntlets hard enough to numb her fingers to the wrist.
She bounced off him.
Ragnar didn't even look at her.
"Grr!"
