"Now," Titan turns towards Abigail, his hand caressing her long hair while saying. "Let's start with this little cutie right here," Abigail whimpers to the large warm hands reaching her cheeks.
"Stop!!" The sound of a little girl crept out of the dark inn, with two glowing red dots approaching towards us from the darkness.
Titan was startled to see Amber behind him. "S....she's awake?" He stammered, taking a step back.
Amber assumes her vermilion bird, coming out of the inn with several floating magic circles aimed towards Titan.
She casts a spell, with countless fire arrows flooding out of the circles and aiming towards him like a beacon.
He places his arm forward and some kind of magic barrier protecting him from the barrage of arrows, emerges out of thin air.
'Just how many skill does this guy have?'
His magic resistance was high but isn't high enough to defend against Amber's destructive flames.
The magical barrier begins to crack at its edges but Amber's attack doesn't looks like slowing down anytime soon.
Instead, it only continued to multiply, forcing Titan to move back.
This was our chance to attack while he was preoccupied.
Jasmine, Raven and Ace lunged towards him from behind with full force but Abigail was the one closest to him.
Her blades were a few inches from making contact but Titan abruptly turned to her with a grin, which shocked Abigail but she failed to sense the lightning bolt raining down from above.
With her magic resistance being really low, Abigail was unable to survive the blast.
"Lucy!!" Titan bellowed and the cracks of his magic barrier widens.
Lucy, flies down and grabs him just before the barrier completely shatters.
Meanwhile, Jasmine and Ace hurriedly ran to meet Amber who instantly reverts back to her human form.
She landed on Ace's arms and hugged him. Ace places her down and everyone watched as Titan and Lucy were about to descend.
Everyone, excluding Amber had their MP in single digits with no way of knowing how they would face against a for like Titan.
Titan and Lucy landed a bit far from where Ace and the rest were but their bodies began to glow and it looked like they were merging.
This was something the players had never experienced before. The view of Titan's flesh assuming a grey colored skin and his height increasing into a 4m tall humanoid being shocked everyone present.
Sharp claws emerges from his hands and feet and a huge pair of Wyvern wings pierces out of his back.
A loud unearthly roar crept out of his lips with fangs larger and sharper than any monster they had seen before now.
Just as everyone were shocked to their core, a notification appeared before Ace.
[Ding!! You have been chosen as a permanent master of Vermilion bird (Amber). Do you accept?]
"What?!" Ace instantly turns to Jasmine. This role belonged to Jasmine, then why is she allowing him to take this role.
"My HP is in the range of single digits right now. So, I can't fight now, and besides your rank and level is a lot higher than mine. You should be able to do a lot more damage than I would,"
Amber pulls his shirt. "Papa. We have to do it now!"
Ace didn't need to be reminded twice but he couldn't understand why Jasmine and Amber were doing this now, moreover it seems they had a plan he had yet to know about.
[Ding!! Player Zero, is now registered as the vermilion bird master.]
[Your beast would like to merge with you. Do you accept?]
'What?!' This prompt shocked him but he didn't waste anytime in making the right decision.
[Ding!! Merging request has been accepted.]
Titan notices a bright yellow glow from the opposing direction and a look of disbelief made its way on his face.
He could see Ace also assuming a 4m tall humanoid form with a pair of large vermilion bird wings piercing out of his back and his black hair changing into a crimson colored hair, with glowing in red hue in the pitch black night.
Sharp claws and fangs emerged with his pale white skin glowing in a crimson hue.
"What? The little girl is a level two beast?"
Hearing that, Ace was equally as surprised as Titan. "Is this true?" He ask.
'Yes Papa,' But she replied telepathically.
'Woah, what was that?'
'Hehe..... It's how mama and I communicate all the time,'
'Woah! Really?'
'Yes. She was also the one who woke me up while I was asleep,'
Ace roughly understands that while Amber was unconscious, it was Jasmine who called her out of the inn.
'I see. But when did you Level up?'
'It was right after we conquered the last Cyclops. I wanted to share the news with you before ....'
'I understand. So, what do we do now?'
'Thats right. I'll guide you on what new spells and abilities I have. Then, you'll know what to do,'
Hearing Amber's response, Ace lifted his gaze to see several magic circles floating above Titan's head with countless lightning bolts barraging out of the circles.
At the advice of Amber, Ace raises his arm up with a golden yellow magical barrier materializing out of thin air and protecting everyone within its perimeter.
Titan clicked his tongue and takes a step forward, vanishing from the spot he was stood.
No one else could see or sense him at the speed he moves but only Ace could keep up with that speed.
He too moved forward with a step and appeared before Titan, which made Titan surprised for a while but he brushed the feeling away and thrust his fist towards Ace.
His fist was caught by Ace which resounded like a loud thunder piercing through the ears of everyone around.
