Low-Level Fox, SSS Power, World in Flames - Episode 9

Reed Lane and Yara Shaw are ambushed by hired killers who reveal they were paid to kill them. The assailant brings a Tier 2 Vipra Feralkin to fight, but a far larger threat arrives: a Tier 3 Prime Skyray. Its low-frequency cries weaken Feralmancer–Feralkin affinity and cripple partnered combat. Yara activates her Tier 1 Barrier, which blocks the pulse and protects them briefly. Despite that advantage, the attackers panic—"Run!"—and admit they can’t handle a Prime Skyray. Forced into retreat, Reed and Yara must flee as the powerful creature closes in.
