两男一女的双龙挺进

"No fighting," Nox stated, and a crestfallen expression crossed Thirteen\'s face. Seeing this, Nox added, "At least not yet."

As soon as he said this, excitement returned to Thirteen\'s eyes. Though the fighting was delayed, as long as he could keep himself busy, it was fine.

Nox then proceeded to explain the mission to them. "I want the two of you to head inside the cave." Nox pointed at the ruined mountain, and the two followed his gaze. "I have a feeling that there might be something important inside there."

This was just a hunch, and Nox wasn\'t too sure about it. He only suspected that there might be something important inside. The beast was protective, hence the reason it had glared at Nox as if he had killed its children or something. Fluffington and Thirteen\'s task was to search through the cavern and bring back any valuable items while he joined the others to deal with the elemental beast.

After instructing his pets on what to do, Nox stared at Astral and whispered something to her. At first, the beast seemed hesitant as she wanted to always be close to her master; however, after a few more convincing words, she finally decided to levitate her way.

Alone, Nox started to walk towards the fight.

"Finally, you decide to join!" Jack exclaimed as he avoided a series of ice projectiles fired at him. His sword crackling with lightning as he jumped up, his blade flashing in the air and leaving a trail of lingering blue energy.

Jack\'s odachi bit into the hide of the elemental beast. Because that attack contained his full power, he managed to cause a small gash on the beast\'s arm. To Jack\'s frustration, before he could land back on his feet, the wound covered up as though it was merely a scar. The beast didn\'t even retaliate against his assailant and instead tried to get rid of the pest behind it.

"Damn it, this regenerative skill is so annoying," Jack sneered in his mind. But behind him, Nox\'s eyes glowed with interest when he saw this skill.

With a wave of its arm, the elemental beast froze a few members of the Bladesong Academy behind it and snapped its hands, turning them into fragments that cascaded down like snow. Brolly gulped as he thanked his lucky stars; if he had not gotten away at that right moment, he would have suffered a horrible death just like his comrades.

Captain Bofan and Reyes continued to bombard the core of the yeti-like creature with powerful attacks. Nahin didn\'t slack either. With her expert control in archery, she fired bolt after bolt of spectral arrows at the core of the beast.

Just as Nox had said, each attack on the beast\'s core disrupted the energy in it, and the once-confident eyes started to show slight traces of fear. At first, the beast\'s eyes were filled with glee; however, seeing that the humans were attacking from all directions, it became conflicted about what to do.

The most annoying of the bunch were the tempest mages, who were dropping pillar after pillar of lightning, all targeted at its core.

Seeing the current situation, Nox shouted at the top of his voice, "Now!"

That was their signal!

Immediately, everyone fell back. The elemental beast was initially confused as to why the humans were retreating, but then it felt a searing heat emitting from above. The heat was unlike anything the beast had felt before, and it roared in pain.

Looking up, a blazing pillar of flames reflected in its blue eyes. The pillar of flame was almost as tall as the creature, and its tip was condensed into sharp points. Glancing at the pillar of destruction coming its way, the beast attempted to dodge, but that was when it noticed that both its arms and legs were trapped by solid earth.

It tried to break through the earth that was binding it to one place, but it was difficult.

Reyes stared at the struggling elemental beast with a cruel expression on his face, his eyes burning with determination as he resisted the elemental beast\'s attempts to break free. Though it was very doubtful that he could keep the beast bound in one place, Reyes was determined not to let go.

The elemental beast could only watch in horror as the pillar of flames descended upon its chest area. Because of the condensed tip, the pillar drilled into its chest. The sheer heat made the air sizzle, and the ice covering the elemental beast\'s body began to melt rapidly, steam rising in violent clouds around it. MVLeMpYr-your-novel-source

The creature thrashed wildly, but the bindings Reyes had conjured with his earth manipulation held firm.

However, Nox noticed something frightening.

Though it seemed to be melting, it was healing back at the same pace.

Nox shuddered; the beast\'s regenerative skill was truly worthy of being an ultimate skill. But Nox wouldn\'t stand by and watch it regenerate. What if he bombarded it with Shadow Oblivion until there was no body left to regenerate? He figured that as long as the beast didn\'t have any body, it wouldn\'t be able to regenerate.

Just then, a piercing roar echoed through the battlefield. The elemental beast, desperate and enraged, slammed its fists into the ground. Ice spikes erupted from the earth in every direction. Though the Awakened were relatively far away, the attack still pierced a few, though it was not fatal.

Cormach, who was standing close to Nox, used his large round shield to block a few of the ice spikes heading towards him. When the rain of ice spikes stopped, Nox aimed both of his arms at the elemental beast as if he was about to shoot a gun. He was about to try something he had never done with Shadow Oblivion before.
