The guardian turned around and roared, a massive fireball manifested above its head and launched at John, whose eyes widened as he dodged the blazing projectile by a hair’s breadth. His heart thumped, the fireball exploded behind him and a powerful shockwave almost threw him off balance.
"Holy shit, that would have obliterated me!" John muttered and glanced at the monster, its glowing red eyes locked with his and it charged towards him, swinging its fists around.
John gritted his teeth and jumped towards the guardian, its gaze flickered with surprise but John wrapped his Venomlash with Dagger Aura and swung it in a crescent arc, "Shockwave!"
The combined attack left a wide hole in the guardian’s lumbar region, but again, it healed quickly. John cursed and his brows furrowed, ’if I could use Dagger Aura continuously, I would win, but this skill consumes a lot of my Energy and I have only used it twice!’
"Fuck, this bastard is resilient." John muttered and jumped away, his gaze flickered as he appraised the guardian and then shifted towards the barrier, the barrier seemed to be fading and the Shop’s entrance was no longer protected, "is it almost gone?" John muttered and charged towards the barrier.
The guardian’s gaze turned grim and it burst towards John with its muscular arms raised high. A shockwave burst behind John and a wall of flames manifested on his right side, he gritted his teeth as an explosive inferno erupted on his left.
His eyes widened when the ground beneath him cracked open and flaming rocks rose, John aimed his hands down and propelled himself upwards with a Shockwave, the guardian glared as John appeared high above its head, a powerful Dagger Aura-clad Venomlash slashed its back but again, it healed quickly.
The guardian roared and an explosion shook the ground, John grunted as he struggled to stay in the air and his gaze flickered when the guardian summoned an enormous ball of flames.
"Fuck!" John cursed as the blazing projectile rushed towards him, he gritted his teeth and vanished as he propelled himself out of harm’s way with a Shockwave.
He had no time to catch a break as flaming rocks manifested below him, he was running out of breath. The guardian’s expression was malicious and cold as its gaze locked with John’s, "fucking hell. This thing is relentless."
John scanned his surroundings only to see fire everywhere. The scorching heat assaulted his senses and the blistering fire made it impossible to approach the guardian directly, John clenched his jaws and sheathed his Venomlash, it disappeared and a powerful shockwave travelled from his location as he aimed his hands down, "Shockwave!"
John propelled himself towards the guardian but another wave of explosions erupted below him, John cursed as he struggled to keep his balance in the air, his heart raged like a storm and his mind raced for a solution, he needed to break the guardian’s relentless assault, he needed to attack, and he needed to hit it with all he had. John smirked and unsheathed his Venomlash, Dagger Aura spread on its blade and a terrifying Aura manifested around him.
John thrust the dagger forward and his Aura took the shape of a massive claw, a powerful sonic boom shook the ground below him and a devastating attack slashed the guardian’s abdomen, its expression hardened and it coughed out blood but John continued his relentless assault, cleaving and slashing at the guardian.
An Aura took the form of a crescent blade and cut through the guardian’s chest, the creature roared and its eyes flickered with rage as it raised its muscular arms and punched John, sending him flying towards a pillar.
John groaned and blood spluttered out of his mouth as he collided with the pillar, the guardian manifested a fireball and threw it towards him, John’s expression hardened and he gripped his Venomlash tighter, coating it in AUra once more. He cut through the column and escaped just in time as the fireball obliterated the pillar and caused the ground below it to explode.
John panted as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He strained his eyes to keep an eye on the beast. He didn’t know if he was imagining it, but a part of the beast’s chest seemed to be brighter than the rest of its body.
His eyes narrowed into slits as he focused on that tiny part of his chest. As his vision focused, he saw it, a perfect circle on its chest. That had to be a weak spot.
John clenched his jaws and dashed towards the guardian. His feet barely touched the ground as he zigzagged his way through the burning rubble and explosive fire. He dodged attacks left and right, but a part of his coat caught fire and a shockwave flung him a couple of metres away.
"Fuck." John grunted and rolled on the ground to put out the flames. The fire was gone, but a stinging pain on his dorsum remained as a reminder.
A terrible explosion sounded off, and John barely rolled away as he escaped the wave of blistering heat that swept the area behind him. His left hand had caught the blast. He could see charred flesh beneath his torn clothes, but he had to deal with the enemy before taking care of his injury. He was running out of time and running low on energy.
He needed to make one last charge and win it in a single, all-out assault. John clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth as a raging pain assaulted him from his left arm.
"This will do," he muttered and jumped out of his cover just in time to block an attack with his right arm. He swung his Venomlash as hard as he could and slashed the guardian’s chest.

This was the weakest link and the beast was susceptible to attacks on its chest and stomach.
A crack sound and a powerful sonic boom boomed. The Dagger Aura tore a hole in the monster’s body. For a second, John could have sworn he saw its skeletal structure underneath its ripped abs. But in the blink of an eye, a crackle filled the air and John was pushed back.
