'That had to have gotten them down for the count.'
-- Silverwing thought.
Little did it know, that a certain hero, cloaked in the aura of his concealment skill, was beelining straight towards its position.
As it closed its beak and took a deep breath to relax, its instincts suddenly screamed at it to dodge.
Without hesitation, Silverwing coated its body with ice and twisted its massive frame, barely enough to escape the swirling mass of spiral energy that scrapped its wings and flesh off its side.
'The fuck?!'
The bird cursed internally as it flipped its body over and used its wings to generate wind pressure, knocking Evan away and his concealment was undone.
But that was only because he wanted to activate another rare skill and didn't want to strain himself.
'Vindiction's strike.'
Evan rose two fingers in the air and swiped them from left to right in Silverwing's direction, and half a second later, a black gold portal appeared and released a similar beam of condensed energy that sent Silverwing flying from one end of the cavern and crashing down at the other.
Despite this, the monster only had a few scratches on its body, and Vindiction's strike had only managed to take out its ridiculously strong feathers, leaving the flesh underneath untouched.
"Only that much damage?!"
"It has absurd resistances, we're gonna have to hit harder!"
"I'm already hitting harder!"
Eliza shouted back at Evan as she released a fifty-metre cutting wave, sending the projected energy wave barrelling towards Silverwing's direction, obviously, with the debuffs applied to it.
The wave slashed apart one of the bird's wings, messily slicing it in two pieces and eliciting a shriek of pain from it.
Even so, its senses alerted it of Evan who was blitzing towards it, his body crackling with golden lightning.
Using its skill, it launched dozens of icy projectiles towards him but the young hero moved in zig zags, making it hard for the bird who was concentrating on healing itself to aim.
Life energy washed over its body again and its wing was healed, it then flapped both wings and tried to fly but Kuro wasn't about to let that happen.
Its shadow came alive and flew up along with it, grabbing it and slamming it down on the ground, before restraining it so Evan's vortex could hit.
'Third time!!!'
Silverwing screamed out internally as Evan once again deprived it of one of its talons with an elemental vortex.
Deciding to return the favour, it screeched out loud and generated a massive blizzard around its body, destroying Kuro's shadowy binds in the process.
Sadly, its blizzard didn't last long as Kayla, buffed with Elemental damage bonus support magic, descended on it with a burst of lightning.
That same instant, Eliza crouched and applied multiple speed buffs on herself, before kicking off the ground with enough force to leave a small crater, boosting forward with her speed that surpassed Evan's in his base state.
A multitude of jagged ice spikes tore through the air and tried to reach her, but she used her Divergent ward and created multiple green barriers that moved around to block the jagged ice spikes.
She moved swiftly, placing a ward under her feet and using it to springboard into the air. She then backflipped into the air once more over Silverwing's head and held out the Memoria, loading it with two charges of her unique skill and shouting out.
"Anti Regen! Unhealing!"
All the speed buffs on her disappeared and six rings of green light appeared around her right arm before she used all her might to throw the weapon, spear tip forward.
**BOOM!
The sheer amount of force she used, allowed the weapon to surpass sound for a moment, crashing into Silverwing's back and piercing through its feathers and flesh with ease.
Silverwing's massive frame collapsed to the ground from the force, roaring in pain, but Kayla told it to 'shut up' using her next attack.
[Ark flash.]
She compressed a gigantic orb of static energy into a singular point that ground down on Silverwing's body, dealing multiple instances of wide-area lightning damage.
And to make it hurt more, Milena enveloped its body in a massive torrent of water at that moment, followed by Kayla releasing another Ark flash while Kuro held it with its shadow.
"Kayla! Milena! Retreat!"
Evan's order came suddenly but the two spirits did not hesitate to oblige. Silverwing's eyes glinted with an icy light right after as the area was suddenly enveloped in multiple white and silver feathers.
They were all identical to Silverwing's ones and also emanated its aura too.
Seeing this, Evan cursed out loud.
"This damned bird is already using its unique skill!"
'Silver Blade Domain!'
Silverwing's wings shone with the light of its crystal blue aura, interacting with all the feathers in the surroundings and making them shine with the element too.
In the next moment, all the feathers around formed a storm of blades that attacked everything everywhere inside the domain.
Landing on the floor, a silver haze rose up from the bird's body, one more powerful than before and right before their very eyes, the flesh around Silverwing's foot began bubbling and then a greenish illusory coat on its body was broken and the leg regenerated.
"It just broke my anti-regeneration!"
"Well, you're gonna have to put another one on it!"
Evan replied as he kicked off the ground and blitzed forward, attracting the attention of Silverwing who turned in his direction and opened its beak, launching a beam of icy light at him.
The boy jumped up to dodge, kicking off a void step and backflipping over the beam of light, before landing on another void step and darting back on the ground.
He was met with dozens of icy projectiles, but the boy only gazed at them in silence, coating his hand in aura and then—
**SWISH!! SWISH!!! SWISH!!!!
His hand blurred and all the projectiles of ice were instantly sliced into pieces that fell on the ground. Without a moment's break, he continued his dash towards Silverwing, sending out a message towards all his contracted spirits.
'It has used its Unique skill 5 times. Now, hold nothing back.'
Right after that, his lips parted and he used his own unique skill.
"Blessing of Destruction: First activation!"
The crimson-red essence of destruction washed over Evan's body, tripling his maximum power and granting him the world law doctrine's soul-damage abilities.
His aura surged for a moment, as in the next, all that was left was a crater on the ground where he stood.
A streak of reddish gold light streaked right under the body of the surprised Silverwing, its eyes widening as it tried to use its wings to generate gusts of wind to blow Evan away, all while charging another beam in its maw.
"Nope."
With that one word, Evan released a vortex right to Silverwing's jaw, causing the energy it was condensing to explode in its mouth and make its whole body fall backwards.
Since Eliza's spear was still stabbed into its back, falling backwards made the spear dig deeper into its body and cause it more pain.
It trashed around in pain as the wound of the spear added to Evan's soul damage was more than its pain tolerance.
Milena and Evan switched positions, with the high-rank spirit launching dozens of pressurized water spears that pierced through its wings and pinned it to the ground.
Evan then released a slash of his reddish-gold aura that created a gash on Silverwing's torso.
Seeing this, Kuro jumped into Eliza's shadow and appeared out of Silverwing's, running up the bird's massive body and reaching the wound Evan created.
He then rose his paw coated with condensed magic power and dug his paw into the wound.
[Brightest Shadow]
The ball of dark light manifested inside Silverwing's body, exploding right after and sending the monster's blood and flesh flying about.
"KIIIIEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!"
Silverwing shrieked with all its might and sent out waves of its frosty aura in the surroundings, but Kuro had already delved back into his shadow, while Kayla and Milena had taken distance.
As for Evan, such an attack could not harm much him in his current state.
Meanwhile, Eliza, hanging off one of her Divergent Wards in the air, jumped off the barrier and let her body fall straight towards Silverwing.
She coated her body in negative life essence, condensing a lot around her feet, with six rings of light appearing around it.
Although Eliza's strength stat was her weakest stat, it did not change the fact that it was an A- rank stat.
**BAAMM!!!
The girl's foot landed on Silverwing's chest and knocked the air out of its lungs, making it cough up blood and saliva.
Without hesitation, she consumed two charges of her skill and activated her recently gained ability.
"Lethality Manipulation!"
The wound Kuro had dealt with his brightest shadow explosion, suddenly had its status promoted as it doubled in size.
Blood splattered everywhere as she spun around, held up another hand and activated her Life Ice skill.
