Drin cast his spell combo and disappeared from his position. In the next moment, Hiram felt a distinct mana signature surrounding him.
Loads of black shadow-element chains sprouted Hiram's shadow and climbed on his legs. They first bound his legs and stopped him in his tracks. Then they climbed on his body and bound him to a still position.
The contact the chains made with Hiram's armor started showing cracks. The armor developed mud-crack-like scales on its surface as if the entire moisture had been sucked dry because of coming in contact with the shadow element.
"Aaaaargh! Release me if you dare, human!"
Hiram yelled while getting angry. He had broken these shadow element chains easily when Drin was in the Ace rank without having to cast the armor spell on himself. But after the human ranker's rank upgrade, the Ogre Lord had come to realize that Drin had gotten way stronger than he had anticipated.
Approach. Grab. Punch.
