The commander broke the stalemate, he blasted off the ground, using wind to propel himself, he swung from above going for the head of the snake.
The face of the variant changed to one of rage, "How dare you target my head!" She roared in anger, roots shot out of the ground, thick as trees. The commander's staff hit the first root, the root exploded into pieces, he flew in the air dodging and smashing incoming roots.
Asher and Simon followed up, since the commander was already distracting the snake, they had to take advantage. Asher jumped, roots shot in his direction, he spun in the air kicking the roots with his leg covered in lightning, it destroyed the roots.
Simon was slashing through roots, his flame was quite effective against the roots, but far from enough, he used his inferno slash on multiple occasions, trying to get closer to the snake.
The fight dragged on, but they couldn't get too close, the roots kept coming out more and more.
