The beam of malevolent energy collided with the radiant spear that Breta had unleashed, igniting a blinding brilliance that flooded the battlefield. The sheer intensity forced combatants to shield their eyes, momentarily halting the chaos that had engulfed the surroundings.
Within the clash, I could sense the raw power of Breta's divine essence resonating, fiercely contending against the oncoming onslaught. And in a remarkable turn of events, something extraordinary unfolded. The elements, usually subject to our command, surged forward with a shared purpose. Earth, water, and even the reluctant darkness aligned in harmonious cooperation bolstering Breta's shield of divinity. It was as if the elements themselves recognized the urgency and instinctively united to fortify her defense.
No guidance was needed from me or Sidus; the elements moved with an innate understanding of their role. The collision of opposing forces enveloped the world in a blinding white light, obscuring all in its brilliance. As the shockwave rippled outward, I instinctively used my mana to shield the humans positioned behind me, ensuring their safety amidst the ensuing chaos.
As the radiance subsided, the barren aftermath of the blast came into view—a lifeless expanse where the monstrous entity was still standing. On the opposite side of the battlefield, Breta stood, her form protected by a shimmering shield, safeguarding both herself and the humans who valiantly fought alongside her.
Her telepathic voice resonated in my mind, intertwining with Sidus's consciousness as she imparted her warning, "Do not utilize the pillars, lest the entire realm is doomed!"
I acknowledged her message, understanding the grave consequences that It might bring. Turning my attention back to Sidus, a twinge of guilt crept within me, for it was I who had requested his assistance. Yet, he bore no trace of resentment or concern, fully engrossed in the relentless struggle against two formidable Shades, his claws unyielding.
Dismissing the distractions and refocusing my attention, I banished the lingering thoughts and doubts from my mind. Breta, amidst her ongoing engagements on the battlefield, skillfully manipulated her spear, propelling it into the air with an ethereal grace. Like a radiant star streaking through the heavens, it ascended towards the colossal monstrosity that loomed ahead.
Reacting swiftly, I unfurled my mighty wings and propelled myself forward, trailing closely behind the spear's luminous trail. With my claws primed and gleaming with determination, I braced myself for the imminent clash, ready to strike with unwavering resolve.
As the colossal Shade swatted away Breta's spear with a monstrous limb, the sheer force of the impact caused the appendage to burst into a grotesque explosion of dark energy. Despite the setback, the monstrous creature's unyielding gaze remained unperturbed, its multitude of eyes fixating on its new target — me.
Undeterred by its intimidating presence, I braced myself for the impending clash. With a swift flick of my wings, I evaded its initial lunging strike, narrowly escaping its gnarled grasp. The rush of wind and the resounding crackle of energy filled the air as I maneuvered around the beast, my claws poised to strike with unwavering resolve.
Stolen novel; please report.
I aimed for its grotesque face, my claw embedded with mana was sharper than ever causing me to easily rip through the side of the bastard's face. This, however, did not seem to do anything as the monster simply used another one of its massive limbs to swat me from behind, the speed of the attack catching me off guard as I was quickly sent crashing to the ground.
As I plummeted to the ground, pain coursing through my body, I fought to regain control of the situation. The monster, sensing my vulnerability, raised its limb once more, ready to strike a final blow. But before it could bring its massive appendage down upon me, a blinding light enveloped the battlefield.
Breta, channeling her divine powers, unleashed a radiant burst of energy from her spear that rushed out from the ground and engulfed the monstrous creature. The blast caused the ground to shake and the air to crackle with intense power. The monster's limbs recoiled, momentarily stunned by the overwhelming force.
As I recovered from the impact and regained my composure, a surge of anger and determination coursed through my veins. I refused to let this abomination overpower me. With a fierce roar, I unleashed a concentrated beam of dragon breath from my jaws, aiming directly at the monster's exposed face.
The blast hit its mark, causing the creature to recoil in pain and fury. Its grotesque features distorted and contorted, but it remained defiant. Undeterred, I swiftly maneuvered in the air, evading its retaliatory strikes and slashing at what looked like its vulnerable spots with my claws.
Breta, seizing the opportunity, joined the assault once more and continued her support from afar. Her spear, imbued with divine energy, pierced through the monster's appendage, causing it to erupt into a burst of darkness.
The battle raged on, the clash of our attacks echoing through the air, causing the battlefield to tremble under our combined assault. The monstrous creature, already weakened by our relentless strikes, found itself facing yet another formidable adversary. Sidus, descending from the sky with astonishing speed, just in time as he finally managed to dispatch of the two Shades he was fighting against. He unleashed a torrent of fury upon the beast.
His claws, sharp and deadly, tore through the air and left a trail of devastation as he landed a powerful blow on the creature's back. The force of his attack created a large gash, exposing the monster's vulnerable flesh to the elements. Dark energy seeped from the wound, further sapping the creature's strength.
"Brother, now!" Sidus roared, his voice filled with urgency and determination. With a swift and powerful motion, he summoned dark tentacles from the ground, intertwining them around the colossal monster's countless limbs, momentarily restraining its movements.
Realizing that time was of the essence, I seized the opportunity created by Sidus' intervention. Breta, her divine power surging through her, broke free from the Shades that had surrounded her. In a flash of light, she soared towards us, her hand outstretched as her spear materialized in her grasp.
With unparalleled precision and speed, she descended upon the monster, her divine spear piercing through its head with unyielding force. The impact caused the beast's head to disintegrate into a puff of black smoke, vanishing before our eyes.
Not wasting a moment, I followed Breta's lead, unleashing the full power of my dragon breath. A large ball of energy, swirling and building in intensity materialized as I opened my jaws wide, and released a torrent of searing heat and destructive energy, directed toward the monster's vulnerable body.
The force of my dragon breath tore through the air, converging upon the creature's form. The intense force enveloped the monster, searing its flesh and reducing it to ash. The battlefield shook under the weight of my attack, the impact echoing across the land.
