"Liam, what are you…" Elizabeth's question died as the first Elite Naga lunged.
Liam moved with unexpected speed for his size. He used [Bull Rush]. His shoulder connected with the serpent's chest, sending it sprawling into the wall. He didn't pause, spinning with the momentum of his charge, his blade arcing through the air. The Naga's head separated from its body with a clean cut.
Liam didn't just hit the first Naga; he deleted it. But as he pulled his blade, the remaining four didn't retreat. They fanned out with a chilling, synchronized hiss.
Great. They're smart. They aren't charging the guy with the big sword; they're looking for the gap, and the gap is currently staring at a bucket.
"Elizabeth! Snap out of it!" Liam barked, his voice echoing off the damp walls. He felt a sharp sting on his shoulder. One of the Elites had lunged with a bone-tipped spear, finding a joint in his armour.
