Samantha's knuckles turned white against the shaft. Her eyes dilated, the iris briefly swept over by a veil of absolute darkness.
She ground her teeth together as a familiar, heavy pulse echoed in the back of her skull.
"It's pulling me again..."
She'd felt this feeling before in battle. Back in Tenebris.
While the lusterless spear was quite powerful, at times, it seemed to have a will of its own.
And the moment her intent shifted toward destruction, the weapon demanded more.
The remaining three constructs lunged simultaneously, closing in from every direction.
Samantha tried to execute a sweeping parry, but the inky shadow bound to the spear answered too aggressively.
Instead of a controlled crescent of Umbralis, a jagged, violent wave of absolute darkness erupted from the blade, slamming into the concrete floor.
BOOOMMM!
