Liora flew in the air from the force of the shockwaves, before crashing against the wall and coughing up blood through her Fox Mask.
"Damn..thing's aren't going so well." Liora muttered in frustration, rising up from the ground.
The Rock Golems fought valiantly against Flare, trying to crush him under their blows, but he was too quick and agile for them, nimbly dodging their attacks before retaliating with a powerful claw strike and fireball.
The Rock Golems didn't last long, they were soon defeated, crumbling to mere piles of stone before vanishing from sight.
Once the summons were dealt with, Flare turned to Liora once again, starting to slowly approach her with slow, intimidating steps.
Flare then charged at Liora, growling under his breath as his paws pounded on the ground furiously, but a roar from above made him look up, before a powerful force crashed into him and caused a massive explosion, sending him flying and tumbling across the ground.
When he came to a stop, he saw Talon flying high in the air, fiercely battling against the silver winged bird, even while he was busy clashing fiercely, Talon would still have Liora's back.
Talon gave Flare a menacing glare, before dodging an attack from the silver winged bird, flying gracefully as he began to counter attack.
Flare rose from the ground as he shook off the dust from the ground, "You have quite the strong partner human," Flare started, starting to approach her, "But you're outnumbered, and too weak to fight against all of us." Flare said, before charging up a fireball in his mouth.
Talon saw what Flare was going to do, and quickly unleashed another [Bird's Roar] towards him.
But the attack crashed into a barrier above Flare, Talon looked back to see the silver winged bird cast a barrier to protect his friend, making Talon mad as he fired more attacks at Flare.
The attacks landed and exploded wildly, but the barrier was very strong, only cracking a little. Talon wasn't as strong as the Great Goblin Brutes, especially when they were now a powerhouse with the [Berserk] Skill and heightened stats from Liora's [Blood Contract], so he couldn't do much in this situation.
The fireball crackled intensely, before Flare roared and released it, blasting it at Liora with quick speeds. Liora saw the attack coming and had to react quickly, she quickly jumped onto the wall and dashed toward the ceiling.
The fireball landed on the wall and exploded, causing flames to spread wildly and shockwaves to boom, almost making Liora lose her grip on the wall.
Flare watched Liora as she made her way to the ceiling, but he wasn't going to allow that. He started to fire more fireballs, each one missing Liora as she started to avoid them with quick manoeuvres, barely dodging the onslaught.
Liora hanged upside down from the ceiling, panting tired from dodging all of Flare's attacks. She glanced at the Great Goblin Brutes, noticing them fight against the giant snake, starting to overpower it with their increasing strength.
'We can do this. As long as the Great Goblin Brutes can still hold on with [Berserk] Skill, they should be able to rapidly increase their power, thanks to the 10x effect. I only hope my magic can hold on for a while, I might need to start purchasing potions soon.'
Liora thought, before quickly dashing to avoid another fireball from Flare. As she continued to run, she suddenly heard the sound of Talon squawking in pain.
She looked at the battle they were having, and she saw that Talon suffered a great hit from the silver bird, slammed hard into a wall and being choked by their Talons.
"No!" Liora screamed in fear, her heart dropping at the sight. She started to increase her pace, dashing across the ceiling towards Talon.
She quickly summoned a Snow Rabbit, holding it tightly in her hands and raising it for a throw, "Sorry, but I need you to help Talon really quickly." Liora said as she threw the Snow Rabbit like javelin, watching it fly towards the silver winged bird.
The Snow Rabbit reached the silver winged bird, and drew out it's small claws from it's cute paws. Immediately, it stabbed it's claws into the bird's back, making it squirm in pain as it released Talon from it's grip.
Talon fell to the ground, and quickly got himself together. As he watched the silver winged bird struggle to get the Snow Rabbit off it's back, Talon squawked as a signal for the Snow Rabbit to get off as it charged a [Bird's Roar].
The Snow Rabbit looked over the wings of the silver winged bird, and nodded before jumping removing it's claws and bouncing off the Silver winged bird, falling towards the ground.
Talon released the [Bird's Roar], blasting the Silver winged bird back with a great explosion, watching it fly to the other side of the room.
Talon then looked at the Snow Rabbit continuing to fall, and quickly flew towards the Snow Rabbits, catching it on it's back.
'Yes!' Liora thought in victory, seeing that Talon was saved.

'Dungeon boss? Are all these Beasts the Beast Tamer has, dungeon bosses?' Liora thought as she approached another wall, and started to descend it.
'Well it makes sense, given that these guys are very strong.'
Liora landed on the ground, "System, purchase 2 Great Magic Recovery Potions."
Liora ordered, the system chimed as it confirmed the purchase, and two potions appeared in Liora's hands. She took off her Fox Mask and quickly gulped them down, feeling energized again once her Magic was restored to full.
Liora then stared at the Beast Tamer who was watching everything unfold, and while she couldn't see their face, she could feel their frustration as their body released raw magic into the air, making it become a bit thicker.
The Great Goblin Brutes then turned their attention to Flare, roaring as they charged at him, their speed much quicker than before as they closed the distance at a fast rate.
Flare flinched momentarily out of fear, before dodging an attack from the first goblin brutes club, the ground cracking under their strength.
The second goblin struck Flare hard on his side, a loud crunching sound booming as he roared in pain, flying across the ground.
Flare tried to get up, but the pain in his body was too much to bear. The flames from his mane started to weaken, as he started to lose his strength, blood leaving his nose.
The silver winged bird grew furious, seeing that the tides were turning against them, it roared as it flew towards Liora, taking out it's claws to kill her.
Liora looked to the see the bird coming, and prepared herself to dodge the attack, but Talon wouldn't let it happen.
He swiftly flew towards the silver winged bird, and tackled it into the wall with great speed and power, crashing hard into it as the wall cracked and dust spread.
Out of the dust, the Snow Rabbit fell from the sky and Liora quickly dashed and caught it, letting out a relieved sigh.

Liora had levelled up quite alot from the battle they faced, accumulating alot of Beast Points and levels, but she didn't have time to spend it now.
Liora looked at the Beast Tamer who sat on his throne, his body beginning to tremble, but not from fear, Liora could tell as she could make out a grin on the Beast Tamer's face. But from something else.
"It's over," Liora said, "I'm giving you one more chance to surrender, or I'm going to have to capture you by force. And if you raise my hand, I might have to kill you, so please, choose wisely."
The Beast Tamer let out a chuckle, shaking their head, before laughing like a maniac and rising from his throne. The Beast Tamer continued to laugh, clutching their stomach as if they had heard the funniest joke in their life.
'They're insane...' Liora thought, her eyes wide as she took a few steps back out of precaution.
"Ha...ha..." The Beast Tamer caught their breath, holding onto their throne for support, "Child, you truly are an amazing thing. Being able to defeat my monsters, my beasts, and still offer to grant me mercy? Tsk, tsk, tsk."
The Beast Tamer shook their head again as they clicked their tongue.
"Foolish child, what is your name?"
