No heat emanated from the flas engulfing Lyra and her weapons.
It was not the type of fire that burned. Instead, the black flas ate away at the life force of whatever they ca in contact with.
"GRRAAAAA!"
When Lyra and her clones sliced into Gronex with their kukris, the enormous Lava Dragon let out a trendous roar as he felt his flesh being sliced into and her Underworld Flas seeping into his body.
Normally his protective scales were enough to deflect most weapons, and even the athros blades that Lyra possessed would have a difficult ti breaking through without sufficient power behind them.
Yet, clad in the black flas that she freely controlled, Gronex's resplendent purple scales turned black and brittle almost instantly upon contact.
For a few monts, the giant Lava Dragon thrashed about and tried to rip Lyra apart, but she moved swiftly and nimbly. While Marcus, Roxene, and Quillon played interference whenever he got close to hitting her or one of her clones.
Before, Lyra had been horribly ill equipped to fight against an opponent like Gronex. Except, thanks to her multiple Awakenings, she was now in the best position to deal damage to him.
'Still, it won't be enough. I bet that her attacks really sting, but she can't deal damage fast enough to bring him down. She's going to run out of stamina before we can finish this.' Marcus thought as he analyzed the battle.
However, as if she could hear his own internal thoughts without him needing to use telepathy, Lyra activated two of her unique skills to boost her power even further.
"Third Eye Awakening."
"Path of Asura."
In a flash, Lyra grew four more arms made of mana and replicas of her athros kukris. Along with that, her other unique skill created a golden eye on her forehead which locked onto the Gronex and gave her an insight into his movents that bordered on precognition.
Of course, using these two unique skills only created a greater burden on Lyra. They were the types that did not have any limits but heavily ate away at the user's stamina.
The was also the fact that only Lyra's true body had grown four new arms and now had a very distinct golden eye popping out of her forehead.
Fortunately, her illusion magic was able to recreate this appeace on her clones as well. Making them indistinguishable from the original so long as Gronex did not use his Dragon Eyes ability. Sothing he was hesitant to do because of the pain he felt earlier.
"Blaze Tsunami."
Sick of Lyra's attacks, Gronex cast a tier nine fire magic spell that consud everything around him.
It was an omnidirectional attack, and flas as hot as the surface of the sun surged forth and spread out around him.
If they had not already been in a molten wasteland, the area certainly would have been turned into one.
"Whew that was hot. You okay, Roxene?" Marcus asked.
Just as the powerful magic spell reached them, Marcus had evacuated the two of them with his Dark Portal unique skill. Regrettably, he had been unable to do the sa with Lyra and Quillon. He would just have to hope that they got out in ti by themselves.
"A small lick of flas like that wouldn't be able to hurt my esteed self."
Roxene's haughty response helped to ease Marcus' apprehension a bit. If she was still able to act like that, then they were not in too much trouble yet.
"It might be ti for Soul Burst, Roxene. I don't think we're going to be able to take him down otherwise." Marcus said, wearing an expression of grim determination.
He had wanted to hold off on using his all or nothing unique skills if at all possible. Especially now that he only had one use left of Ultimate Refresh to negate the negative aftereffects. That ant that Roxene would be out of the battle if they could not secure victory during their three-minute ti limit.
Before they could commit to this plan though, a black blur appeared next to them and caught them off guard.
"You two need to hold off on that for a bit longer. We need to force Gronex to exhaust his Supre Skill first. Otherwise, you two using Soul Burst will be for nothing." Lyra said.
Marcus was naturally grateful to see her alive and well, but he wondered how she knew about Gronex's Supre Skill.
Still, he did not have ti to ask her as Quillon showed up soon after in worse shape than the rest of them.
The right side of his body had been charred black, and he was barely maintaining consciousness through sheer force of will.
Imdiately Marcus cast healing magic on him while Lyra pulled out an elixir and splashed it on him.
The horrid wounds quickly began to vanish, but Quillon was running low on mana and stamina.
"ROOOAAAAARRRR!!!!!"
"I guess that's the end of our respite." Marcus said, turning towards where the cacophonous roar had co from.
The cloud of smoke left in the wake of Gronex's tier nine spell was blown away, and the ruler of the molten sea sped towards Marcus, Lyra, Roxene, and Quillon. Intent on finishing the fight that he had started. His fun was only just beginning so he was not going to let it end until he was satisfied.
"Quillon, how many more of your Ten Greatest Techniques do you have?" Lyra asked urgently.
"Three. I'm not sure if even my best will be enough though. Perhaps it I combined it with my other Supre Skill."
"No, you can't use the other one no matter what. It won't end well. Just use two and save your last one for the latter. We need to put so more pressure on him before our chance for victory will present itself."
Lyra seed suprely confident about her plans, so Marcus, Roxene, and Quillon went along with what she wanted. They trusted her judgnt, and while they had no idea how she knew certain things, there was no ti to worry about it.
