The cavern filled with the sound of its powerful footsteps, each one echoing through the dark space like the drums of war. The golden eyes of the beast Locked onto her, a dangerous light flickering within them as they prepared to strike.

With a swift motion, Sayako activated her Phantom Reflection cursed technique. One of Her eye flashed a vivid red, and in an instant, multiple clones materialized around her, each one a perfect mirror of herself. They fanned out, surrounding the beast, their weapons drawn and ready. The air was tense, crackling with energy as they prepared to launch their attack.

The thunder beast slowed its approach, growling as it scanned the circle of identical Sayakos, assessing the threat. But instead of hesitating, it let out a thunderous roar and charged at one of the clones, swiping with its massive claws. The clone barely had time to react before it was obliterated, its form dissipating into nothingness under the force of the blow.

As she charged forward, the beast met her head-on, its massive claws slashing out with deadly precision.
