Each time Aion blocked the attacks, he felt the temperature decrease around him. He did the right thing when he increased his resistance… still, despite his even higher value in strength and endurance, he couldn't do much against the attacks. He could use Inner Force or Force Release, but using that so early in the battle would be unwise.
While the enemies were focusing on Aion, Seris and Sauros tried to hit the eyes of the creature, but the monster blocked those attacks with the snakes in its head. It blocked all of them, and that was insane considering how fast they could travel… it was supposed to be impossible.
"We need to do something about that," Seris said.
"We don't have many options aside from keeping this up," Sauros said. "You can't use your power on him while mine is active… that is one of the few restrictions that we have."
Seris knew that, and it seemed that all ideas that she had in mind required the use of her power. As for the things that she could make, she didn't know if she could create anything in that place while the battle was unfolding before her eyes, even more so when the enemy was a beast that fired attacks that could fly fast enough to make such massive and noisy impacts.
"There must be some weakness on that head aside from the eyes…" Seris said.
While they were firing, Aion still was pissed that they were talking when the best he could do was hold his ground. In any case, just thinking about it won't change things that much. They have to create their opportunities…
"That thing is strong and durable, but my attacks worked before… there is a small amount of blood on the forehead," Aion thought while he watched the monster attacking him with magic. "The damage suffered probably made the monster think that fighting up close is a terrible idea…"
In the end, when two spears came flying toward Aion's head in a straight line, he used Sonic Thrust to destroy those and advance toward the enemy as well. The creature that was levitating a few centimeters above the ground began to move again and kept firing the spears. Still, Aion also kept using Sonic Thrust to keep him away.
Seris and Sauros began to attack even more frantically to give Aion the chance that he needed. Still, at some point, the monster just kept some snakes in front of the eyes to block their bullets.
When Aion got close enough, he jumped in order to surprise the enemy, but the creature used several snakes to block his next strike. Aion clicked his tongue when he was blocked… if Sauros power had been activated now, he could have avoided that. Still, his power was too situational… it only worked when Aion was about to suffer damage…
In any case, only that wouldn't stop him, and he kept thrusting his spear forward several times before he fell, and then he was targeted by the ice spears… However, this time, he was close enough to the enemy for Sauros power to work.
Aion read the line of attack of the spears and then moved to the side to dodge them. He only had a moment to decide that despite Sauros' power since they could only affect so much a magic projectile of that level. Still, Aion used that chance to step forward as well and stab the monster's eyes… or at least he tried since one of the snakes was on the way.
Blood began to gush from the wound that Aion inflicted on the creature… those things were as tough as the crystals that Aion got, so it couldn't be helped that two thrusts wouldn't be enough to kill even one of them… it was even more annoying because there were dozens of those on the enemy's head.
In any case, the pain suffered by the snake made the whole head tremble a little. While they were all connected, that seemed a bit surprising since the head had no qualms about using the snakes as a shield. Was that because it had confidence in their durability… either way, Aion could use that.
"Aion! Throw your spear with all your might!" Sauros suddenly asked.
It seemed like Sauros was speaking nonsense, but then Aion recalled that those two hadn't attacked in a while, so he quickly connected the dots… relying on them didn't seem like a terrible idea, but it certainly wasn't the best. Still, Aion decided to check how things would play out.
Aion jumped backward, increasing his arms strength while spinning in the air. In the last moment, he also used Force Release before Sonic Throw… the monster tried to block the spear with several snakes, and that actually worked. However, the spear still pierced through three of them before stopping on the fourth.
The monster stopped moving altogether due to the pain, and in the next moment, the beast was hit with two massive lighting spears that hit Aion's weapon in full. Sauros and Seris charged their attacks and did that. Thanks to it, a powerful electric torrent passed through the monster's body. It paralyzed it for even more seconds while a lot of steam was leaving its Body.
Aion charged toward his spear before kicking its butt with a drop kick. The weapon pierced two more snakes before hitting the forehead of the giant monster. When that happened, the massive beast began to tremble uncontrollably… the snakes on the head opened their mouths, and then they began to hiss while emitting a shit ton of cold mist… it didn't take long for Aion to feel the temperature decreasing even further. The armor soon wouldn't be that effective anymore…
"Buy us some extra time, and we will fire two others with all of our remaining mana!" Seris shouted.
Aion sighed… that was easy for her to say. Still, it wasn't like he had any better other options…
