The battle between Dimitri and the Metal Hyena destroyed the trees around them. One was a Level 4 Essence Wave Warrior, while the other was a Level 5 Wave Beast.
Each of their full-power attacks could compare with the destructive power of an Old World tank, so it was easy to imagine the collateral damage they generated.
Although the flora and earth of Aether were much more resilient than those of the Old World, this was just a Tier 1 Danger Zone.
Dimitri had the upper hand thanks to his spells, skills, and Wave Artifacts but the Metal Hyena was still a challenging enemy. While impressive in terms of cloaking power, his abilities had no outstanding offensive power.
That, plus the Metal Hyena's robust defenses, prevented Dimitri from performing deadly blows, transforming this into a battle of attrition.
