The Stormbound Fuchsia struck the Narghul Sorcerer's lower ribs. There was a brief pause before the staff touched the demon, as his Abyssal Shield flared up for a moment.
However, this was a young two-horned Narghul Sorcerer, and his innate nature had not been unlocked.
My staff, covered by a cloak of lightning, tore through the barrier and slammed into his ribs, and I felt his hide flex and his internal structure compress, but I did not do much damage; however, the demon staggered sideways.
It was the first strike of the engagement that had connected with the demon itself, not with the construct.
The four eyes of the demon shifted towards me without moving his head, and they had changed from burning interest to something else.
The Narghul Sorcerer's mouth opened again, and the voice this time was lower, the frequency dropping below my chest into the hollow place itself.
