'Tsk...!'
Evan clicked his tongue internally as he backstepped, the short window he had to attack being completely lost as Ocsuat roared out loud and stomped its foot on the ground multiple times.
[Evan?]
He heard Pride's thought transmission coming through but he paid it no mind and swing his sword wildly.
"Blade cannon."
Each swing released a golden aura slash that launched five fist-sized aura bullets towards the frost boar king, forcing it to cancel the charge skill it was about to use and shield itself with earth magic.
[Master, should we move now.]
'Not yet.'
He replied to Kayla's enquiry as he took a deep breath and calmed himself, before turning to Pride and speaking.
"Sorry about that, your sword left some deep trauma to the previous idiot.
Let's re-coordinate ourselves."
Although Pride had a lot to ask, she held herself back and faced the earthen shell that covered the frost boar king, seconds before it shattered into jagged chunks of earth.
Ocsuat suddenly turned its head in Eliza's direction once more and used earth magic, causing all the chunks of earth to fly in her direction.
"Wha? Why?!"
The battle priestess screamed out as she jumped out of the way, using smaller barriers as footholds and using larger ones to block the chunks of earth she could not dodge.
Evan and Pride took advantage of this small gap to zoom in towards the monster's sides and unleash powerful magic simultaneously.
"Spiral Flames!"
"Wrath of flame!"
Ocsuat was shocked as it did not think that the sword-wielding humans also had powerful magic like it did, and was unable to take any defensive action except reinforce the ice skin spell it had active.
However, the monster knew that this spell was going to be useless against the two spells that they used.
A tornado-shaped blast of flames hit it from the right, while an omnidirectional wave of flames slammed into it from the left side.
The flames instantly melted the ice coating its skin, burning off its hide and the flesh underneath.
"GROOOOO!!!!"
It let out a strange roar and moved its magic power, generating a giant blizzard around its body.
"Not good!"
Pride shouted as she jumped out of the spell's range instantaneously while Evan just blinked away, mere moments before the violent icy winds swept through where they were seconds ago.
"Evan, Let's...? Evan?"
Pride wanted to speak to Evan, but upon realizing that he was not on the ground, she hurriedly looked around and saw the young hero in the air above Ocsuat.
"Fire Magic: Grand Fireball."
Evan pointed his hand downwards and called out as a two-ringed magic circle appeared in front of his palm.
A huge swirling ball of flames nearly two metres in diameter appeared in front of him and dropped towards the boar underneath him.
While gravity pulled him to the ground, Evan generated two more fireballs and dropped them before blinking away and reappearing beside Pride.
"Liz, Now!"
"Finally!"
Eliza screamed out in reply to Evan's shout as she slammed her staff on the ground and activated her skill.
The earth cracked open, paving way for the emergence of a gigantic shoot. The shoot's flower bud bloomed and from an opening of the petals, a powerful beam of concentrated magic power was launched towards the boss monster.
**BOOOOOOMM!!!!!!
A loud explosion that shook the boss room rang out as Evan's fireballs and Eliza's flower cannon hit the frost boar king at the same time.
The monster's screams of pain could be heard from within the flames; however, Evan knew the battle was far from over as the monster still hadn't used any of its skills yet.
"The fact that it hasn't entered its berserk state means that it still has a lot of strength left, let's wear it down a bit so Kayla and Amy can do their part."
"Mmh."
Pride nodded in response as she coated her sword in her signature black flames, with Evan activating another set of skills while giving Kuro a command.
'Paladin, concealment and aura slash.'
'Kuro, hold him down.'
His shadow wiggled and something black shot out of it into the explosion, a second before he dashed forward as he swung his sword, releasing slashes of aura that could not be seen nor sensed by anyone or anything present except him.
'Blink.'
Without waiting for the slashes to reach, he dropped his sword to the ground and teleported to the space in the air above the monster, pointing his two hands downward as he activated his energy blast skill.
Bright red beams of light shot into the smoke, towards the screaming frost boar that tried to move out of the way but could not as its feet had been held down by its own shadow.
And due to the fact that the smoke of the explosion had obscured its vision, it could not tell what was preventing it from moving!
It was at this moment that the two beams of red light landed on its back, causing it to scream in pain as its struggles to break free intensified.
However, Evan still had more in store for it, as he stretched out his arm and called his sword into it, before swinging downwards twice with blade cannon active.
"GRAAAAAA!!!"
The fist-sized bullets of aura bore holes in the monster's body, causing blood to spray out everywhere as the creature finally snapped.
Its magic power swelled and it forcefully broke free from Kuro's restraints, right before activating another large-scale ice magic spell.
The temperature of the room instantly dropped by at least a dozen degrees, as a large violent ice blizzard formed around the entire room.
The destructive icy winds swirled around with dozens of jagged icicles moved to rip apart any sources of 'heat' in the room.
Evan, Pride and Eliza were the targets in this case, as their natural body heat was enough for the spell to lock on them, even if they were concealed like Evan was.
"WHYYYY???!!!"
However, the most unlucky one in this case, was Eliza who had nearly a hundred icicles attempting to rip her to shreds and they followed her no matter how much she ran.
"Why is i-! Shit! The monster is aiming for-!"
