The battle in the Ravine of Bones continued.
The Alpha had been circling the entire exchange, and Roman noticed he had been positioning himself with a patience that felt calculated. The moment the Sovereign extended its second pincer to redirect after the [Tremor Strike] disruption, the Alpha activated [Dark Crash] from the far end of the ravine.
The impact of a Level 55 soul servant at full charge against the exposed underside of the Sovereign's extended pincer joint was something Roman felt through the ground beneath his feet from fifteen metres away.
The pincer snapped.
[Bone Crawler Sovereign Life: 38%.]
The Boss made a sound Roman had not heard from it before, something between a grinding and a high frequency scrape that came from somewhere underneath the shell, and it activated [Swarm Pulse] a third time, desperate and uncoordinated, a panic response rather than a tactical one.
Roman took the hit. He did not guard it and did not dodge it.
[Life: 67%.]
"Crap..."
