[Do we really have to kill him?] I asked my companions telepathically.
[There doesn't seem to be many options, but-...] Vespera tried replying but was interrupted by a fire wave that came our way, making us jump high in the air to avoid it.
Realizing that it wouldn't be easy to communicate and fight the Legendary Beast at the same time, I focused on the encounter and launched myself at him.
I had my bo in hand and went for an overhead attack, but the phoenix stopped it with his forearm, creating a wave of wind and fire from the wake of our impact.
