Erend and Eccar exchanged a brief glance, both silently agreeing that it was time to give everything they had. There was no room for holding back anymore.
Erend's wings flared wide and crackling with arcs of lightning as he shot into the air. A streak of electric power slicing through the sky. Eccar stil staying on the ground, crouched low and pressed his hands into the sand again, his brow furrowing as the earth beneath him began to tremble.
The rock giant that now had become faster and more agile without its heavy outer shell, roared as it barreled forward with terrifying speed. Its molten eyes burning at them. It lunged at Erend with a massive fist, attempting to swat him from the sky.
Erend dodged with a sharp roll in midair, narrowly avoiding the giant's swipe. Lightning danced around him making his body glowing with energy.
He retaliated quickly. Gathering a crackling sphere of thunderous power in his hands before hurling it down at the giant. It was a powerful attack that using a lot of his MP.
BOOM!
The bolt of lightning struck the creature's shoulder, sending a shockwave of lightning rippling through its stone and crystal body. The jagged rocks and crystals shattered upon impact but the giant barely faltered. It let out a deep rumbling growl, turning its molten gaze toward Erend. It now become even more enraged.
On the ground, Eccar acted swiftly. The sand around him twisted and surged once more, forming into thick spears that gleamed under the desert sun. With a sharp motion of his hand he sent the sand spears hurtling toward the giant from below. The attack had been effective before and he will try do it again, this time with even more power.
The spears flew and pierced the air, aimed directly at the cracks in the creature's stone legs.
CRACK!
The spears impacted the giant's legs with powerful force, causing chunks of rock to crumble away. The creature stumbled slightly but quickly regained its balance. Its agility shocking both of them.
Without warning, suddenly the giant leapt into the air. A feat that seemed impossible given its size, and reached for Erend mid-flight.
"Damn it!" he cursed, pulling himself up. His Dragon Scales were cracked even further, but he wasn't defeated yet.
"We need to work together!" Erend called out to Eccar, who was already preparing another attack. "Hit it hard while I distract it!"
Eccar nodded, summoning another volley of sand spears. This time, he poured even more energy into them, their tips gleaming with an almost metallic sheen.
Erend took to the air again, lightning crackling around him as he circled the giant. The creature followed his movements, its molten eyes locked onto him, ignoring Eccar for the moment.
"Now!" Erend shouted.
Eccar thrust his hands forward, sending the enhanced sand spears hurtling toward the giant's legs. They struck with brutal force, piercing through the cracks and destabilizing the creature's stance.
The giant roared in pain, its movements becoming sluggish as its legs crumbled beneath it. Erend seized the opportunity, summoning a massive bolt of lightning.
With a loud scream, he hurled the bolt directly at the giant's head. The lightning struck with a blinding flash, splitting the air with a deafening crack. The energy coursed through the giant's body, finally overwhelming it.
The creature let out one last, earth-shaking roar before its massive frame began to crumble. The ground trembled as the rock giant collapsed, its body disintegrating into piles of stone and dust.
Erend and Eccar hovered above the battlefield, breathing heavily as they watched the giant fall. The fight was finally over. Find more adventures on m-v|-novelhall.net
"That was way too close," Eccar muttered, wiping sweat from his brow.
Erend nodded. "Yeah... but we did it."
