The Therianthrope pulled back its claw and prepared to attack, but before it could, a ball of fire struck its eyes, blinding it.
The Therianthrope snarled and released its grip on John. Julia rushed to John’s side and helped him get back up.
Dalia unleashed a barrage of attacks, her hands glowing brightly as balls of fire struck the Therianthrope repeatedly. Octavia was relentless, her sword flashing green as she slashed the beast.
John took the chance and called forth his Shadow Claw to slash at the Therianthrope’s eyes. He lunged at the beast while Julia cast a strength buff on him, increasing his strength.
The Therianthrope scread as the Shadow Claw struck its eyes, leaving deep gashes. It staggered backwards, its eyes blinded.
Dalia unleashed a powerful blast of flas, enveloping the Therianthrope. Octavia followed, swinwing her sword in mad rush. A gust of wind followed every swing, leaving multiple gashes on the beast.
John lunged forward and thrust his dagger into the Therianthrope’s neck again, breaking its skin and causing blood to gush out. Everyone joined in, attacking the Therianthrope, their blades and magic tearing through its skin and muscles.
The Therianthrope let out a deafening roar before a shockwave erupted from its body, sending everyone flying back.
John felt his strength depleting, and his wounds began to sting. The Therianthrope was badly wounded, but it was still alive.
The air around the Therianthrope crackled with energy; sparks and static flew around its body. A ball of electricity appeared in the beast’s mouth and shot towards John. He sidestepped and barely dodged the attack, the static making all the hairs of his body stand on ends.
The beast’s body began to glow a faint blue, and a cold aura enveloped it. It swung its claws towards John, sending a blade of ice hurtling towards him. John dodged again and counterattacked, but the Therianthrope moved faster than him.
The beast unleashed a powerful roar and an invisible wave of energy erupted from its body, knocking John back.
"This is bad..." John muttered under his breath.
As he stood up, he took a step towards the beast, but a bolt of lightning erupted from the ground, halting his advance. The air was heavy, and the ground was charred.
"Fuck, just how many tricks does thing have?" John muttered. It looked as if the Therianthrope had so kind of hidden arsenal. He gritted his teeth and focused on the beast.
Its yellow eyes glowed brightly, and its claws crackled as bolts of electricity danced around them. A low growl emanated from its mouth and its fur bristled. It raised its maw and pointed at John, its teeth sparking. John could feel the hairs on his arms rise and goosebumps appear on his skin.
"Shit..." John muttered and a blur enveloped him, disappearing from the monster’s sight.
A shadow appeared in the air, a dagger gleaming in the light. John’s figure blurred towards the Therianthrope.
Sensing the danger, the Therianthrope snapped around and caught the dagger in its jaws, the blade biting into its skin and drawing blood.
It let out a growl and spat the dagger aside, its eyes filled with fury and malice. The beast roared and a burst of lightning exploded from its body, sending a shockwave through the tunnel and causing everyone to stagger.
As the dust settled, the Therianthrope stood there, panting. Its wounds were healing rapidly, and its eyes were locked onto John.
"This is getting harder by the second," John mumbled, and he glanced at the group.
"Listen up, everyone," John shouted, "We need to work together and use our combined strength and skills. The Therianthrope is healing itself, and I’m getting weaker. Our only chance is to hit it as hard as possible. As we practiced, let’s go!"
The group nodded, their expressions grim. They were all exhausted and injured, but they knew that if they didn’t defeat the Therianthrope, their lives would be at risk.
They charged forward, their weapons drawn. The Therianthrope stood its ground and let out a deafening roar.
John vanished from sight and Octavia and Stephanie charged forward. A gentle light enveloped them, they were Julia’s buffs. August flanked the beast’s right whilst Julian went left. Dalia and Maria stayed behind and focused their gazes on the Therianthrope, ready to unleash a barrage of attacks.
Octavia’s sword flashed green and she swung her blade, creating a gust of wind. Stephanie followed suit, her fists crackling as she punched the ground, creating a tremor that travelled through the floor.
Julian slashed at the beast, his sword slicing through its tough hide.
John reappeared in front of the beast and stabbed it in the gut, his dagger piercing through its skin and drawing blood.
The Therianthrope growled, and a burst of electricity erupted from its body, sending everyone flying back, except for August and John who stood their ground. John shot August a knowing nod and lunged at the beast, his Venomlash glinting a deep green.
As John struck the beast, his dagger sank deep into its flesh, causing the beast to howl in pain.
August took advantage of the distraction and unleashed a barrage of punches, his fists glowing gold as he pumled the Therianthrope.
The air in the tunnel seed to grow colder, and the ground beneath their feet began to freeze. A layer of ice ford around the Therianthrope, encasing it in a frozen prison.
The beast let out a roar, shattering the ice around it. As it erged from the ice prison, John glanced at its wounds, they were healing.
John clicked his tongue and created so distance with a Shockwave. As he did, fireballs and projectiles rained down on the beast, engulfing it in a blaze.
The Therianthrope roared, its body covered in burns and cuts.
The beast charged forward, its claws outstretched, its eyes filled With rage. John readied his Venomlash and prepared to face the beast head-on.
Before the Therianthrope reached him, a gust of wind slamd into its side, sending it careening into a wall. Octavia and Stephanie stood side by side, their faces grim and their eyes filled with determination.
John looked around, Julia’s ragged breath and the absence of her light told him she had run out of energy. He didn’t know how long they had been fighting for, but he knew they could not last much longer and it seed the Therianthrope had one more trick up its sleeve...
