Beside Evelyn, Liora's body rapidly shifted between sizes. One moment she stood no taller than a child, slipping beneath a sweeping claw. The next, she expanded into a towering giant, her fist crashing toward the zombie like a falling mountain.
BOOM!!
The evolved zombie didn't retreat. Instead, its body expanded at the exact same moment, meeting her colossal fist head-on.
The instant Liora shrank to regain her speed, the zombie's massive body compressed as well, matching her movement perfectly.
Every change in size... was answered by an identical adaptation.
Liora's eyes narrowed.
"...It's copying my rhythm."
Not far away, Queen Lyra melted into the shadows. Her figure vanished completely as dozens of shadow blades erupted toward the evolved zombie from every direction.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Yet the zombie didn't even try to defend itself.
Its six crimson eyes remained fixed upon the darkness itself.
