Bonrick staggered back, his monstrous form momentarily stunned.
The wind and lightning attack left a mark on his body, but the giant was far from defeated.
RAH!
He roared in fury, shaking his head to clear the lingering aftershocks of the lightning.
"Now!" Ezekiel shouted to Diana.
Diana didn't hesitate. She raised her hands, her voice echoing through the night as she chanted the incantation.
"From the depths below, one in many, throughout all of one. Let the moon create more of you, here and then."
"Spell Arts of Darkness: Dark Reign of Arrows!"
Dark mana surged around her, coalescing into a volley of shadowy arrows. The arrows shot towards Bonrick, piercing his flesh with a sickening thud. He roared in pain, shielding himself as best he could, but the relentless barrage forced him to slow his advance.
RAH!
Just as Bonrick was about to reach Diana, Ezekiel sprang into action. He leaped to the side, intercepting the giant's path.
"Wind Fist!"
Ezekiel's right hand glowed with mana as he formed a massive fist of compressed air.
He twisted his body with force and his wind fist struck Bonrick's side.
BAM!
Bonrick stumbled back, but remained standing. The force of the blow had left a remarkable bruise on his flesh.
KAK...
But just as Ezekiel had thought he did some damage he watched his flesh twist, change, and reform removing the mark imprinted on his skin.
"...!"
Ezekiel's eyes widened at the scene before him.
His attack as well as Diana's had were gone as he completely regenerated it at an incredible rate.
-"His healing is insane... Is that even normal?"
Ezekiel knew that high regenerative factors required an intense amount of mana. Even for a skilled healer, it was almost impossible to have a higher mana output than input. But this giant... he wasn't emitting any mana during his regeneration.
-If I ran out of mana, it would be game over for all us.
He tried to remain calm, but his heart kept pounding in his chest.
"I know what to do, but you'll need to defend for now. When you see the opening, you need to take it in one go."
He turned and saw Diana standing firm with the wolf-girl behind her.
He saw that the wolf girls hands were glowing as she channeled mana into Diana.
-Has she ran out of mana already? If she has then I need to try and play it safe.
- Playing it safe isn't an option, one slip-up on defense will cost you your life. Keep dealing damage for now.
-You say that as if you're waiting for someone to arrive.
-"..."
Eurus refused to speak to Ezekiel after his reply and now turned his head back to Bonrick.
The giant's red eyes were bright even in the darkness and drool dripped from his fanged jaw.
"I know you can't help because I'm too weak to handle your power, So let me prove to you that I can beat him on my own"
He took a deep breath.
"Hoo... haah... God send."
RAH!
Bonrick charged, this time on all fours with incredible speed, he leaped sideways in order to shake Ezekiel off.
But Ezekiel just stood there waiting.
As Bonrick saw his opportunity he jumped up and dived down towards Ezekiel like a hawk.
BAM!
Bonrick's claws raked the earth where Ezekiel had stood moments before. Dust billowed into the air, but as it settled, Ezekiel was gone. Only scratch marks remained on the ground.
Sniff...Sniff!
Bonrick sniffed the air as his nostrils were twitching trying to locate Ezekiel's scent.
"...!"
As soon as he caught it he looked up from above.
"By the winds that shaped the world, by the breath of the first storm, manifest the great desire of the primordial pillars. Arise... Pillar Of Will, and stand unbreakable."
Silhouetted against the moon, Ezekiel hovered in the air with his hands raised.
WAM!!!!!
A massive portal of ancient runes opened above him, and a swirling vortex of wind emerged, taking shape.
The vortex solidified into a towering pillar, etched with glowing symbols of ancient power. It pulsed with the force of pure will, its sheer size capable of crushing dozens of men.
As Bonrick saw the massive pillar, everything in his body screamed at him to run. Everything told him that if this attack landed, he was certain that he wouldn't ever recover.
SHAK.
"Grr?" He tried to move, but his feet were rooted to the spot.
SHAK...SHAK
He tried again but still nothing.
RAH?
After his head caught on, he looked down to see his limbs bound by glowing white chains, formed from wind magic.
"MOVE!"
He roared, struggling against the restraints, but the magic held him fast.
"Ezekiel... NOW!"
Diana's voice rang out, a desperate plea. She too had a portal ready, aimed at Bonrick.
Thanks to Ezekiel's trap, Bonrick was temporarily immobilized, allowing them to pour every ounce of their mana and strength into their attacks.
"Spell Arts Of Darkness: Shadow Lancer!
"Ventus Secret Arts: First Pillar of Will!"
