Chapter 119: Very Powerful Beast
Adin and Adam from the Mavericks Guild were the first to attack the Elemental Beast. They raised their hands, and the air around them began to swirl with electricity. Blue lightning crackled at their fingertips, and they unleashed a simultaneous blast of magic.
"Storm Surge!" they shouted in unison, a burst of electricity shooting forth from their outstretched hands. The bolt struck the Elemental Beast with incredible force.
ROOOOAR!
The beast roared and stumbled back from its initial spot. Although the normal attack couldn't cause damage, it was momentarily electrocuted, causing its fur to stand on end.
The beast's pale blue eyes glared at the twins responsible for its torment. It charged forward, but before it could reach them, Reyes appeared and intercepted it.
A low rumbling echoed as a sturdy wall rose from the ground, obstructing the Elemental Beast. However, the beast burst through the wall.
Reyes raised more walls, but they failed to hold the Elemental Beast back. Its massive paws swiped at the air mere inches from Reyes' face. He leapt back, narrowly avoiding the blow.
Enraged, the Elemental Beast fired a concentrated blast of ice shards in all directions. The twins failed to block the shards, which pierced their arms again.
Fortunately, before more shards could reach them, a wall rose up and intercepted the ice projectiles. Though the wall showed signs of crumbling, it held firm.
Cormach, with his round shield, stepped in front of Nox, Brenda, and Hex.
When the barrage of ice subsided, Reyes charged in with fierce light. Nox watched as rocks slowly encased the guild master's legs and arms while he clashed with the Elemental Beast, trading blow after blow.
But Reyes struggled; the Elemental Beast's fist, encased in ice, pummeled him with a crushing blow that shattered his rocky armor. It was so fierce that Reyes had to disengage briefly to catch his breath.
Seeing that the others weren't faring any better against the beast, Nox sprang into action.
"Should I use Shadow Oblivion?" Nox wondered aloud. However, if the attack went through, the Elemental Beast would explode into several fragments, and the crystal could fall into anyone's hands.
"They could just hide it and escape without anyone knowing," Nox narrowed his eyes. He doubted the destructive power of [Shadow Oblivion]; against a normal magic beast, it might be plausible, but this was an Elemental Beast, and Nox knew little about such creatures.
"Alright, let's test the waters first!" Nox jogged a few steps before bolting forward with explosive speed. His body was covered in a golden glow that radiated fiercely under the night sky, drawing everyone's attention.
"Some flashy skill; you can never stay hidden with this," Nox sighed. In a sense, even his talents were like this.
With a talent like his, staying low-key from the beginning was never an option. He was someone meant to attract attention wherever he went, and Nox was slowly getting used to it.
"No matter how hard I try to blend in, I'm always pushed into the limelight... So why not accept it?"
"If this were a novel, the main character would probably attract trouble by standing out too much... Honestly, I was planning to go that route too because of the people back in the Barony... But I figured I'll just get stronger and deal with all the problems. Yes, I only need strength to handle any problem."
Gripping his fanged daggers, Nox attacked the Elemental Beast, finding it difficult to keep up with its movements.
"Huh?" Nox frowned as he stared at his broken dagger, realizing he had struck the beast's hide; the blade of his dagger had snapped in two.
He felt a pang in his heart; it was his first weapon, but he didn't dwell on it too much. The Elemental Beast grabbed Nox with its massive arm, yet with Divine Velocity still activated, Nox managed to slip out of its grasp mid-air.
As Nox landed on the ground, he summoned both Fluffington and Thirteen. As they fell from the air, the two beasts exchanged a glance and smiled.
Fluffington had spoken with the panda earlier, and the two had settled their disagreement. Their bond had strengthened tremendously. With just a look, they knew what to do.
Shing! Shing!
Fluffington's claws extended.
"Its hide is strong. I need you both to focus on attacking it."
[Panda: Accept!]
[Fluffington: Okay, let's do this!]
Fluffington leaped up, his claws flashing through the air toward the elemental beast. However, before he could strike, the elemental beast, seemingly aware of their plan, roared and unleashed a blast of chilling energy from its mouth.
That blast had already turned others into ice statues, which had later shattered. Nox couldn't allow the same fate to befall his beasts. With Divine Velocity still active, he managed to pull the two out of harm's way just in time.
Reyes surveyed the situation, frowning. Things were looking grim; a few of the others were already dead. He looked at Captain Bofan and the others, shouting, "If we want to take this beast down, we have to work together!"
Captain Bofan nodded. Though he had hoped to settle things with the Maverick Guild, he realized they needed to unite to defeat this foe. "Let's do it!"
"Count me in!" Brolly chimed in, having found his way back. He had lost two students and was determined not to lose any more.
"After we take down the beast, what happens next?" asked the leader of the Silvermist Guild, a dark-haired woman with an intellectual demeanor.
"We kill each other for the crystal," Ren replied with a smirk.
"The kid's right," Reyes nodded.
"Alright, let's do this," said the cloaked figure, who had yet to join the fight until now.
