The ground shook as the Twin Boulderback Behemoths slammed their stone fists against the outer walls of Ashford. The metal plating groaned; the rivets popped under the strain of the siege units.
Viren didn't wait for the walls to be breached. He knew the guards couldn't handle the Titans or the other creatures, so the job of killing as many of them as possible fell on him.

Abyssal Thorns.
