[Celestial Academy — Administrative Wing Corridor — South Section]
The first creature had 536,000 HP.
Still too much.

The pattern of the last four exchanges had made something clear — the interior exposed by the separation of the left rear spiritual limb responded to direct damage with a vulnerability that no other area of the exoskeleton had. Each combo of Alex plus Seraph's direct F2 to that point caused between 280,000 and 320,000 damage.
The problem was that the creature had also learned to protect that point.
The remaining spiritual limbs were redistributed to cover the exposed interior — not completely, the separation was permanent, but enough that reaching the point required more from both of them in each exchange.
[Alex HP: 238,800 → 197,400]
Forty‑one thousand four hundred damage in the last exchange just from the pressure of the redistributed spiritual limbs while Alex tried to reach the interior.
[Corruption: 96% → 97%]
F1 offered.
Alex pushed back.
