"We're coming up to the seventeenth floors entrance so I believe it prudent that I ask you not to use those flames unless I specifically say otherwise Alex." Finn said in a way that made it clear that this wasn't up for debate.

I nodded "I wasn't planning to anyways with so many people being involved in the fight. I was going to be relying on my trusted partner here to chip at the beasts ankles." I said with a smile as I patted my holstered weapon.

Finn nodded "The configuration we were going with before you joined us was Tiona, Tione, Lefiya and Riveria with Lefiya and Riviera being the main damage dealers with their magics but I think we can swap you in with Tione's place as a physical fighter. That good with you?" he asked after explaining the plan and I grinned.

"Not a problem." I said eagerly.

With that settled I left my big bag with those not participating and slipped on my helm/mask.

"Creepy." Lefiya commented when I did.

I chuckled "I didn't make it to be pretty but to keep my head protected without messing with any of my senses or stopping me from drinking a potion if I needed to." I said honestly.

"You mean that mouth there's not for show?" Riveria asked surprised.

I shook my head and moved my jaw so the hinge of the mouth moved to open up "Nope I can't eat with the teeth but the mouth opens and closes easily in case I need to drink a potion. Admittedly I could have just made the teeth less predatory but it seemed like a fitting aesthetic choice given the rest of the design." I said as I moved my jaw again and the hinge shut tight again.

"And the ears?" She asked intrigued.

A sound not unlike a sledgehammer hitting a brick rang out as my weapon slammed into the Goliath's nose. The recoil took me by surprise because for the first time ever I hit something that didn't move when I hit it which means I got moved instead. Blood shot out of the monsters nose and it's eyes lost focus as it's mind got fuzzy from the head trauma.-

"Back!" Tiona called to warn me to get out of the blast radius of the mages.

I heeded the warning and ran out of there the moment I hit the ground from my recoil induced fall.

"Wynn Fimulvetr!"

"Wynn Fimulvetr!"

Both elves finished their chants at the same time and two waves of white frost one smaller and one much bigger shot forward and struck the monster freezing it solid.

"Heya!" Tiona immediately leapt forward and smashed her blade into the frozen monster which shattered it's now brittle form.

A wave of thick black smoke poured out as the the magic stone and a single large tooth fell to the ground alongside the leftover frost. Everyone stared as the smoke rapidly flowed through the air and sank into my body. I couldn't help but shudder in pleasure at the unbelievably thick and high quality smoke filled me more that even a month of grinding had accomplished before this trip.

"That's the good shit right there!" I exclaimed with a laugh as I holstered my weapon.

The fight wasn't very long but as anyone who has ever fought before can tell you they so very rarely do last all that long. Even less so when the opponent is outnumbered, out strategized and outgunned by a large amount. Honestly the only purpose I and Tiona served were as the distraction while the mages chanted their magic which was basically guaranteed death for the goliath that couldn't dodge.
