key quest
Across the field, Koa ’s punch lands. Guided by instinct and fury—and by a skeletal hand clinging loyally to his own—his gravity-fueled blow crashes into the Villi’s chest. There’s no body to impact, not truly, but the magic behind it matters. Her form folds around the blow, cracking like glass struck with a hammer. Purple veins of voidlight spiral outward from the point of impact, shattering her shape from within.
She shrieks again—but this one is different. There’s a rupture in it, a break. It tears through the night not like a song, but a scream being dragged out of a throat long rotted to dust. With a hiss like steam rising from a grave, the Spectral Villi lashes out, clawing acrossKoa ’s chest with fingers that leave no wound, only cold. Void-burn. The kind that aches in the marrow and seeps behind the eyes. The mark blossoms across his ribs like a brand he cannot touch. She is almost gone, but her touch lingers.
Jack ’s magic slices through the mist like a scythe through tall grass, and it connects. The priestess recoils, ethereal form flickering as air magic tears across her midsection, robes fluttering like a banner left too long in a battlefield wind. The Knight and Priestess close in, but their strikes fall short. The Knight, sluggish and half-slagged from fire and fury, stumbles in his swing. His sword misses Jack by a whisper, biting only stone. The Priestess, tattered and burning, lunges again with a whisper of faith twisted into malice. Her claws swipe at Jack’s coat—but this time they scrape only air and smoke.
As for Thalassa and Astaroth ? Fire is keeping them from the worst of it.
Behind them all, the barrows fall silent. Whatever force stirred within them has gone still, as if holding its breath. The Villi flickers. Dimmer. Torn. Then she opens her mouth.
And she sings.
It is not a song of rage or mourning now, but of pure command—a last, desperate aria pulled from beyond the veil. Her voice rattles the bones in the ground, threads through the roots of the Barrows like a curse unfurling, and the world begins to tremble beneath it. All around the field, soil shifts. Barrows creak. Fingers breach the earth. Hundreds of graves answer her call.
She may fall, but she will not fall alone.

Spectral Villis (Uncommon/Mythical): These spirits, once seeking vengeance, have become void-infused spectres. Their wails echo with the void's malevolence, and they manifest in shadows to terrorize the living. Those touched by a Spectral Villi are left with a void mark, a curse that attracts further void corruption.
