Elvira's fingers flicked through the air as she drew small, rapid glyphs.
"Hallowed Step."
Mana surged beneath her feet and burst outward.
It launched her sideways just as the Alpha lunged.
Its claws tore through the space where she had been a moment before.
She reappeared behind it.
"Hallowed Dagger."
A blade of pure light formed in her palm.
She thrust it forward, not at the Alpha's core, but at its knee joint.
The dagger sliced across the back of its leg.
The Alpha stumbled as its balance broke.
It spun to retaliate, but Elvira was already gone.
She dashed to its side, her spells flowing in a tight, controlled rhythm.
"Frost Nova."
Ice burst out from her body in a tight radius.
The Alpha's feet froze in place for a brief second.
That second was enough.
"Fulminis Sagitta."
A concentrated bolt of lightning shot from her hand and pierced the Alpha's arm before it could lift its claw.
The impact made its body convulse and falter.
