A massive axe slammed into the shield.
Even through the screen, Galolie could tell from the sound alone just how terrifyingly powerful the axe's impact against the shield had been!
Standing before her was a vicious-looking Gnoll elite.
The Flower of Falosi, the eternally elegant Black Swan upon the theater stage, was now holding up an enormous shield in the game to withstand the Gnoll's savage assault.
