The reborn world wasn't all sunshine and rebuilt temples. Shadows lingered—leftover void leaks bubbling up like bad pimples on fresh skin. One nasty spot cropped up near Serenastra's borders: a swirling purple rift spitting mini-Eater spawn—slimy tentacles with chomping mouths, eyes glowing hungry red. Not the big bad itself, but echoes hungry for chaos. Villagers screamed, running from farms as the rift grew, devouring crops and spitting twisted beasts.
Word spread fast through the dynamic alliances. Haru Cyrius got the call first—celestial dragon arms itching for action. "Time to test the new family firepower," he muttered, cracking knuckles gold.
Clara grabbed her holy spear—now etched with sister runes. "Elena's ready. Let's show these void rejects who runs this world."
Elena floated beside them—golden hair flowing like sunrise silk, phoenix wings folded soft but ready to blaze. Her Sanctum Phoenix powers had bloomed wild since awakening: Rebirth Flames healing deep cuts, Reversal Domain flipping enemy attacks into buffs, and that Guardian Burst shielding allies while roasting foes. But combos? That's where she shined mythic.
They rallied at the rift—Core Rebels first, auras linking protective. Sky Healers swooped overhead—wind riders scouting, capes whipping storm cool. Shadow Redeemers ghosted edges—stealth scouts vanishing-reappearing with intel. Lunar Frost Wardens wove silver-ice barriers—threads freezing rift edges elegant. Dream Wardens bloomed illusions—nightmares distracting spawn playful fierce. Wild Charm Legion roared primal—beasts charging with enchanted roars. Reform Honor Crafters rune-smithed weapons mid-air—katanas blooming petal-runes.
Haru stood center—messy silver hair wind-tossed, eyes stubbornly hopeful. "We hit hard, smart. Elena—you lead the combos. Show 'em that curse-turned-gift vibe."
Elena nodded soft smile—eyes white-fire fierce. "Let's dance with flames."
The rift belched a wave of spawn—tentacle horrors slithering fast, mouths chomping void-black. Beasts howled—cloned from old Eater fears, phasing through strikes sneaky.
First combo: Elena + Clara—Sister Sanctum Duo.
Elena wings spread mythic—phoenix flames blooming gentle-hot. "Reversal Domain—Activate!"

Elena smiled warm. "Fly free… no more falls."
Spawn thinned—rift pulsing angry.
Shadow Redeemers ghosted in—Lira ribbon-blades graceful lead. Fourth combo: Elena + Shadows—Phoenix Shadow Veil.
Lira shadow-stepped beside. "Voidstep—Flame Cloak!"
Elena's Reversal Domain flipped shadows holy—flames veiling blades white-fire. Combo: Shadows stepped invisible—emerging inside spawn with decapitating strikes, flames reversing void regen into burn damage. Lira waltzed deadly—ribbons blooming phoenix thorns. "Suyin's grace… with fire kick!"
Elena reversed escaping shadows into light traps. "Darkness bows to dawn."
Spawn heads rolled flaming.
Lunar Frost Wardens wove next—Selene threads silver, Veyra pillars ice. Fifth combo: Elena + Wardens—Phoenix Lunar Frost.
Selene wove. "Lunar Bind—Flame Weave!"

Then burst—roars exploding flame-charms. Slow-mo savage: Spawn charmed into own tentacles, exploding pink-primal.
Riven wild laugh. "Azra's beast… with Xyphira spice!"
Vixen seductive wink. "Desire burns eternal."
Reform Honor Crafters rune-smithed last—Lio quiet genius, Hana katana bloom. Eighth combo: Elena + Crafters—Phoenix Rune Honor.
