Yuri remained perfectly calm in the face of the approaching poisoned dagger. A halo of light flashed around him, and a transparent protective barrier materialized, firmly blocking the attack.
"You're just a bunch of exiled Dark Elves. Having lost Rose's favor, you don't even have a Priest. What makes you think you can beat us? You truly overestimate yourselves!"
As Yuri's mocking words fell, a dense layer of black scales rapidly appeared on his skin. His face elongated, and his pupils narrowed into vertical slits.
In the blink of an eye, Yuri had transformed into a Snake-man-like creature covered in fine black scales, a thick, long serpent's tail sprouting from his back.
WHOOSH!
The serpent tail whipped out violently, tearing through the air and viciously striking a Spider Elf!
The elf had no time to dodge. It took the full force of the blow and was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string, spewing a mouthful of blood in midair.
