Perciveus and the group were inching closer to the tower. Drupal, though was a fine fighter, he usually avoided using his powers to change the weapon into any other weapon, he did not rely too much on his powers as his body was small and could hold only a small amount of energy thus exhausting him earlier than the average fighter walking next to him.
Scrouche, on the other hand, was doing good with the weapons that he used with his four hands but had no ability to fight because his ability was that of a healer, not best suited for combat.
Flur and Fiona were limited to their powers in this form though they could use their elemental abilities well. Flur used his red lightning whereas Fiona used her soul weapon. Soul weapon was an ability that gave its user the power to make any weapon from the elements that were around her. like earlier in the fight, she used wind elements to cast slashes.
Perciveus now having traced the lava ability was happy and was expecting to trace more attributes from the others that would perish in the battle. His ability known as Soul Eater, allowed him to trace attributes, elemental or non-elemental, from the souls of the beings that he killed. The more he killed, the stronger he grew, and this very ability of his to feed on souls for growth had once scared everyone, including Gods, that is why Gods had to put him in slumber and take away all the attributes he mastered and weaken him gradually over the centuries-long slumber.

Suddenly, the groups' movements came to a halt as they saw an army of around a thousand beasts marching toward them. The leader of the army was a king-tier monster leading the army of minotaurs, centaurs (half-human half-horse), trolls, fauns (goat men), and Erinyes (snakes as hair, dog's head, bat wings, and bloodshot eyes).
The king-tier monster leading them was a Chimera, that had the body and one head of a lion, one head sprouting out of its spine was the head of a goat, wings like a dragon, and its tail was a snake that would move and hiss frantically. It was around the height of a five-story building and had the ability to breathe smoke out of its mouth.
...
Seeing the army ahead, Scrouche and Drupal paired together and decided to take on trolls and fauns, as they were slow and Drupal could apparate easily and have an advantage over them while Scrouche had an upper hand with his brute strength.
Flur and Fiona transformed into their Animagus forms. Flur was to take the aerial army of Erinyes while Fiona would take the army of centaurs as she could take on ranged enemies.
Perciveus decided to take the minotaurs, who were deadly beasts as their strength was immense and their skin was stone hard impossible to penetrate therefore the others had not chosen them to fight against. And lastly, he would battle against the king-tier monster, Chimera.
The army was strong and so Perciveus had decided to transform into his original form. With the same facial features and body, two silver horns were now protruding out from his skull and his ears became pointed on the top. His hair had changed to ash black with stripes of silver running in between, and his eye color had changed to jet black. His two canines had grown sharper and imitated fangs.
He was now adorning heavy armour in black and purple. A chest piece with purple trim fitted perfectly around his chiseled chest, with two black shoulder guards that too were skim and perfectly fitted on his broad shoulders. His gauntlets were deep black with purple lightning strikes running through them. The gauntlets were made in such a way that his fingers were not covered by them. His high-end boots extended till just below his knees and were meant for protection from all kinds of sharp weapons.
He had two katana blades attached to his back in the armor. Both swords had black hilts and dark purple blades. And a single red amulet was around his neck. He was ready to take on the whole army of beasts with just his group of five warriors.

Dense thunder clouds covered the sky and a great battle was about to take place.
