Colin flew towards the large Windigo, the Windigo Elite and it roared loudly, and Colin wrinkled his nose as he smelt it's putrid breath.
[Colin!!] Lily shouted in frustration as she fought the windigos down below
[Yes.] He answered calmly
[Explain to me why exactly we are to attack the bulls eye?] Lily asked and Colin sighed
[The bulls eye is where the windigos soul crystals are located.] Colin said
[What, but how would you know where they are?] She asked and Colin sighed once more, he knew she would ask him that as soon as he told and he wanted to avoid answering, especially.
[Look, now's not exactly the best time to go into a lengthy explanation now is it. Just relay the information to the others.] Colin said and the Windigo Elite swung it's long, thin hand towards Colin. The monster was done gauging it's opponents strength and was now ready to fight. Colin flapped his wings, moving out of the way of the attack and flew towards the monster. He created a large dense fireball above his hand, as big as the creature's head, and launched it towards the monster. The Windigo opened its mouth and let out loud roar releasing waves of energy, and Colin could see his fireball losing energy before going out completely.
'So fireballs are useless against this thing, got it.' Colin thought and flew towards the monster with all his might. He was faster than before and quickly arrived infront of his opponent's face, before delivering a devastating punch to it's deer skilled face. The creature took a step back, before crashing into the hotel building behind it.
'Alright, I could get used to this.' Colin thought as he opened and clenched his fist. The Windigo Elite opened it's mouth and a beam of blue flames was released. The attack was too fast to dodge and Colin quickly created a shield with hellfire and demonic energy. This shield was thicker and much more resilient than the ones he could create before, but even so, the beam of blue flames broke through the attack in an instant.
[-50 LP]
[-50 LP]
[-50 LP]
'Shit, I got cocky.' Colin thought as he moved out of the flames, and within the span of a few seconds, he lost 150 LP. He flew towards the monster and it swung it's long hand towards him and he easily flew through it's fingers before running across its long limb. He extended his claws and dragged his claws against its limb while coating it in hellfire. As he dragged his claws against it's hand, hellfire ignited against it. The monster roared in pain and it quickly swung around it's hand, trying to get Colin off and he jumped off willingly. The dark red flames continued to rage across the creature's hand and it quickly covered it's emaciated limb in blue flames, dispelling the hellfire. Many large blue fireballs suddenly appeared in the air around the monster and it sent them flying towards Colin, and he countered with fireballs of his own, causing large explosions in the air.
'Time to test this out.' Colin thought and roused his [Darkness Affinity] to life. His sclera turned black as he created three large spears made of darkness, which were hard to see due to the night sky, and sent them flying towards the monster. They impaled the creature, punching large holes into it's body that leaked putrid black blood.
*ROOOOOAAAR*
The monster roared loudly, whipping up a fierce wind and just as Colin thought it was screaming from the pain, he could see a large red aura surrounding it.
"Oh shi-" Colin said, but was unable to finish his sentence, as the creature's claws appeared only a meter away from him and he was forced to dodge. Realizing that it missed, the Windigo decided to shrink it's body, surprising Colin as it slowly started to become smaller, until it was only three meters tall. The monster launched itself into the air, and swung it's claws at Colin, and he quickly grabbed it's wrist, while holding in a groan as the flames on the Windigo Elite burned him. He kicked the monster with all his might, sending him crashing into the forest, uprooting a few trees on the way. He quickly flew after it and was greeted by many blue fireballs being sent towards him. He quickly created sphere like barrier around himself as the fireballs impacted it and exploded.
Out of the smoke, came the Windigo Elite who swung down it's hands in a hammer strike, cracking the barrier and sending Colin flying into the ground and creating a small crater. Colin quickly flipped out of it as more fireballs crashed into the crater and the monster crashed into the ground. Colin held the creature's hand as it tried to strangle him and prepared to release another beam from it's mouth, but Colin was faster, releasing a torrent of flames from his mouth. Colin kicked the Wendigo Elite's legs off the ground and quickly held its hand against its back and shoved it's face in the ground. He then released an explosion from his hand into the head of the creature, creating a large dust loud that could be seen from a mile away.
When the dust and smoke cleared, Colin could be seen a distance away in a large crater and the Windigo Elite was standing at the otherside, enveloped in blue flames. When Colin triggered his explosion, the Wendigo Elite's body erupted into blue flames, protecting it from a lot of damage and forcing Colin to back off. Both of them rushed towards each other and the Wendigo Elite stabbed it's claws at Colin and he dodged as the claws scratched his cheek but he landed a solid hit on the creature's face, triggering an explosion on contact. The deer skull cracked and Colin smiled as he created solid looking gauntlets made of hellfire.
"Hellfire Affinity: Hellish Arnament." Colin said and the Windigo Elite seemed to like his ability as it did the same, creating gauntlets out of Vitality Flames with clawed tips, surprising Colin. The monster ran towards him, and he did the same, swinging his fist towards the monster and it released a scream, causing the gauntlet to break apart and he gritted his teeth trying to bring it back together, before the monster punched him in the face, sending him flying into the wall. Colin quickly got out as the monster sent fireballs towards him. He looked at the monster angrily and wisps of darkness started to be released from beneath his feet. He raced towards the monster and swung once more, and just as the creature was about to use its skill, a black spike pierced through it's stomach from the ground, interrupting it's ability, allowing Colin to land the punch.
An explosion was sent through the gauntlet, breaking off pieces of the monster's deer skull and sending it flying into the wall. As it tried to get up, a laser pierced through it's neck causing it to hold it in pain, but it's pain wasn't over. Colin fired more and more of them into the creature's body as he walked closer and closer. The monster tried using its blue flames to block the attack, with some success, but Colin was relentless. He created more spears of darkness, sending them crashing into monster's body. Standing over the monster, he released a flurry of punches, creating explosions with each impact. By the time he was done, the monster was battered with burn marks all over, with both of them in a crater at least five meters deep. The deer skull on it's head was cracked open and Colin could see the soul crystal inside, a black crystal similar to the death crystals he had, but with a blue hue in its center.
As Colin reached in to take it, the Windigo Elite roared one last time and Colin got a feeling of danger and he quickly grabbed the soul crystal, but it was still too late.
[You have slain a level 1 monster(tier 5), Windigo Elite. You have gained 180,180 exp.]
The monster's corpse exploded in glorious explosion of blue flames, enveloping Colin.
"Damn it, that fucker." Colin said as he walked out of the blue flames, covered in darkness, that protected him from most of the damage, but he still lost more than half his LP.
'I should get to the others.' He thought and flew back towards M town.
