The frozen battlefield created by Shiera lay still, stretching across the ground like the grasping hands of the fallen. The mist of frost hung heavy in the air, swirling with every motion of the combatants.
The Thousand-Faced Spider watched the black mass of energy that transformed into something humanoid, its countless black eyes narrowing. The monster had fought many warriors, devoured many powerful beings, and stolen their faces, their skills, their very essence. This one, however... seemed like an impossible task.
With inhuman speed, the warrior lunged forward, daggers flashing through the frozen mist. The Spider retaliated instantly, its grotesque limbs slamming against the ground, sending out deadly shockwaves. But the warrior was faster.
The Thousand Faced Spider, changing her face from Shiera into some other woman, hissed, shifting its form fluidly, invoking one of the countless stolen techniques—"Blazing Sky Piercer."
