With a bighorn that seems to be made of a super-hard metal and a stone armor, the beast is a bull.
That has three horns that exude danger by their ways that point forward to pierce their enemies.
The bull hit the ground with its hoof when it saw how it got nowhere in its fight, it also fiercely shook its three tails while releasing a great snort.
Alex looked curiously at the bull for his fantasy appearance with its stone armor and its three tails controlling the mana to create different types of earth-based attacks.
The bull continued to attack the shadow hidden in the mist of earth, the bull threw stones with the size of a house, it created stone needles under the shadow or made a rain of pebbles that fall at a speed that would be fatal if it hits a human.
The shadow responded to the bull's attacks and when they both hit they neutralized each other by having the same magnitude of force.
This only helped both beasts get angry and run towards each other to see who has the greatest physical strength, finally Alex could see the other beast, which turned out to be a rhinoceros with a full armor of ice on him, when Alex watch both run, the ground began to rumble from how heavy both magical beasts are.
*Puumm!*
The armor of both beasts cracked from impact and some pieces fell to the ground where they broke off the impact, both beasts began a thrust contest once they collided.
At the beginning, the bull struggled to move through the frozen and slippery ground, but shortly thereafter it reaffirmed its step by circling its feet with the earth and becoming like an immovable mountain, but the strength of the rhinoceros is something to be taken into account.
The rhinoceros began to lose ground due to the bull's technique, but while they both fought, Alex got bored of watching.
<It is amazing to see two great beasts fight... but since they stopped using magic it became very boring> Alex threw himself towards them while controlling his mana to create needles under the two beasts while he gathers mana inside his mouth.
Alex jumped on top of them to have a better angle for shortly after leaving stealth while shouting "[Dragon Breath]!!" to be able to mentalize and use their magic more easily.
Both beasts felt the danger at the same time, but by the time they wanted to react and move away, a pair of needles pierced their bodies where their armor is thinner, unable to move, both gathered their mana like a cocoon with them in the center to avoid the damage of the incoming attack.
Because of the dense mana around the beasts, Alex's needles were destroyed by interference, but the damage caused remained.
Alex's breath of fire at the beginning only surrounded the buds, which made the beasts feel relieved, but while they were relieved, Alex showed a sadistic smile.
Alex changed the nature of his fire in a blink of an eye, cut off his mana supply and began using the dense mana of the beasts which only served as fuel for Alex's fire.
Both beasts were surprised to feel a stretch in their mana around them while the sense of danger returned.
Angry, the beasts expelled their magic element to their environment to hurt their attacker, the mana buds turned of ice and stone as if they were two sea urchins, but one of ice and another of stone, unfortunately, their defense attempts were ineffective
Alex had already moved away and was controlling his fire from afar, and now the ice and stone are melting under Alex's yellow flames, although at a very slow pace, but all that only means the consumption of the enemy's mana.
<They're already dead ... they just haven't realized> It was what Alex thought when he saw how the beasts wasted their mana, trying to block the fire... something that is intangible and consumes mana.
But the beasts are not as dumb as Alex thinks, with their experiences of different combats they got an idea of what to do to avoid their deaths, both beasts stopped surrounding themselves with mana and tried to move in a position opposite to the other in order to escape.
*Crash!* The cocoons were shattered when the rhino and the bull ran in different directions, although they managed to get out and avoid death, even so, the two took great burns on their skin since they cannot keep their armor without feeding them with mana.
<How robust they are... I don't think I can hurt them with my claws> Alex watched as they both destroyed everything in their path as they moved away from their flames.
<Mmm ... it won't stop me from killing you> Alex moved swiftly across the deformed ground to soon enter stealth again and move towards one of the beasts.
*Snorting* The bull let its breath out as it no longer felt the tension in its surroundings, but it also did it to show its fury for the surprise attack, it is uncertain whether to create its armor again or wait to see who the attacker is.
On the opposite side of the bull, the rhino is in a similar situation while searching for the attacker, but no matter where it looks it doesn't look at anyone but the two of them, but it knows that the enemy is black since it was all it could see through the cocoon of mana and the yellow flames, the color doesn't remind any magical beast that was so dangerous.
Annoyed to find no one, both made an area attack, the rhino created a blizzard that froze everything in its path, while the bull generated a sea of stone thorns with it in the center.
But still, they failed to find Alex at that time. Alex jumped into the air to avoid both attacks while controlling his temperature so as not to freeze.
The rhinoceros is hypersensitive to temperature thanks to the years it has been controlling its element and that helped it to locate a high source of heat in the distance, Alex became a firefly in a dark room for the rhinoceros.
Without much thought, the rhino created a lot of ice needles and threw them at Alex's location.
Forced to defend himself, Alex created four blades of darkness with which he began to destroy all the ice needles that came towards him.
<I haven't forgotten you!> Alex launched a mini-tornado of fire in the direction of the bull that was preparing to attack him and thus avoid being attacked in two directions.
The disturbance of the battle woke up the little spirit that was hiding under Alex's eye, she had decided to rest so she could recover since she was made of mana and when she fight with Alex, she used her own essence to strengthen Alex, something that It cost her dearly and she still doesn't recover at all, but seeing how Alex is facing two beasts again, she shook any unnecessary thoughts out of her mind and concentrated on supporting Alex.
She began to control Alex's mini-tornado to hinder the bull's attempts to attack Alex, the tornado's flames attracted the surrounding mana and was used as fuel not to disappear, at the beginning it was only a one-use attack, but now with the little spirit with total control over the mini-tornado, it became a great offensive attack.
Alex felt the little spirit begin to help him to control his tornado, without much thought he gives her total control over the tornado so he can concentrate on the rhinoceros that is throwing a relentless shower of ice needles.
Alex began to accumulate mana on his feet while defending himself, once he put together a large amount he released it while naming the way to use his mana in this way.
"[Wave of Fire!!]" A great wave of fire was generated when Alex released his mana towards the rhinoceros, all the needles were melted at the moment they entered the wave of fire.
The rhino did not stand without doing anything, it gathered mana to shortly after release it like a big blizzard to try to counter Alex's attack, but when both attacks were about to hit, a maniacal smile appeared on Alex's face.
<Checkmate!>
There was no clash of powers where only the most powerful would advance or be neutralized with each other, if they have the same magnitude of power, it was not because Alex's wave completely consumed the rhino blizzard by consuming the mana inside the blizzard, taken by surprise, the rhinoceros was surrounded by fire, desperate the rhino tried to get away from the fire, but in the distance Alex muttered 'Sticky fire' while still maintaining the same smile.
Alex ignored the rhinoceros that began making grotesque sounds because of the pain it feels when it was burned by high temperatures, even when it tried to create an ice armor, it was shattered at the moment it appeared, the wailing lasted no more than 10 seconds.

With the notifications, Alex confirmed the death of the rhinoceros while he moves towards the bull that is barely defending himself from the tornado run by the little spirit.
<I'll pick up my loot when I'm done with the bull> Alex made a mental note while controlling the shadows to create a pair of needles under the bull, which almost rammed him with his horns, since the bull had jumped into the tornado in his direction.
