Mark's eyes flashed with determination. He knew that the battle with the dark beast would be a life-and-death contest. The people on the street had already fled in all directions, leaving only the two sides of the battle and the fear scattered on the ground. He took a deep breath, felt the energy flowing in his body, and then jumped high. The ice sword in his hand was wrapped in cold air, drawing a graceful arc in the air, making a buzzing sound, and slashed at the head of the dark beast. The sword cut through the air, bringing a gust of cold wind, blowing the surrounding fallen leaves and dust into the air, and the shop signs on both sides of the street creaked, as if they would be blown off at any time.
The dark beast swiftly dodged this fatal blow, but its sharp claws left a deep scar on Mark's left arm. Blood gushed out instantly, staining Mark's sleeves red. He groaned, staggered back, his face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Mark felt a piercing pain in his left arm, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay awake. He knew it was not the time to fall.
The dark beast pounced again, and Mark urged his energy. An ice shield flashing with light blue light instantly appeared in front of Mark, blocking all the subsequent attacks of the dark beast. The ice shield collided with the claws of the beast, making a crisp collision sound, and ice chips flew in the air like snowflakes in winter.
Seeing this, Toby immediately waved his sword to force the dark beast back.
Seeing this, Lily decisively commanded the little ice beast to attack again: "Xiaobing, go!" The little ice beast let out a low roar and pounced on the dark beast from the side. Its fangs bit its flank fiercely, tearing off a large piece of flesh and blood. The dark beast felt pain, let out a shrill howl, struggled wildly, and threw the little ice beast out. The little Ice Abyss beast rolled several times in the air, fell heavily to the ground a few meters away, and uttered a painful whimper. Lily ran over distressed, held the little Ice Abyss beast in her arms, and carefully checked its injuries.
The body of the little Ice Abyss beast trembled in severe pain, and the painful whimper it made cut through the noise of the battle. Lily's heartbeat was beating violently in her chest, and she anxiously checked the injuries of the little Ice Abyss beast. On its flank, a deep wound was cut by the claws of the dark beast, and the blood dyed its ice-blue hair red. A trace of tears flashed in Lily's eyes. She was distressed and quickly took out a bottle of potion from her arms and fed it to the little Ice Abyss beast with trembling hands. The potion exuded a faint fragrance and melted in the mouth. The breathing of the little Ice Abyss beast gradually stabilized, and the wound slowly stopped bleeding.
Under the effect of the potion, the little Ice Abyss beast struggled to stand up, roaring in a low voice, staring fiercely at the dark beast, full of unyielding and fighting spirit. The houses on both sides of the street trembled in the roar of the dark beast, and the glass on the windows made a crackling sound, as if it would shatter at any time.
Taking advantage of the moment when the dark beast was distracted by the attack of the little Ice Abyss beast, Toby raised his long sword and chopped the back of the dark beast with all his strength. The long sword cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, leaving a deep wound on the back of the dark beast that could be seen to the bone. The dark beast roared deafeningly, full of anger and pain, and it waved its claws wildly, trying to attack Toby, but Toby dodged it flexibly. The surrounding buildings were crumbling under the crazy attack of the dark beast, cracks appeared on the walls, and gravel kept falling, making crackling sounds and raising clouds of dust.
Mark covered his injured left arm, endured the pain, and condensed a sharp ice cone at his fingertips, piercing the dark beast's eyes. The ice cone drew a white track in the air, carrying a sharp cold air, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and went straight to the dark beast's eyes. The dark beast hurriedly dodged, and the ice cone flew past its cheek, leaving a deep ice cave on the ground. The cold air was pervasive, the temperature around it dropped sharply, and the water stains on the ground instantly froze into ice, making a crackling sound. A cold wind rushed out of the ice cave, blowing the people around shivering. Lily was anxious to see that the little ice beast was injured. She hugged the little ice beast tightly, her eyes full of worry. The little ice beast whimpered in her arms and rubbed Lily's cheek with its wet nose, as if to comfort her. Lily took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that now was not the time to be sad. She had to be strong to protect the safety of the little ice beast. She took out another bottle of potion from her bosom and carefully applied it to the wound of the little ice beast. The potion exuded a faint herbal aroma, which made people feel a little relieved.
The dark beast was enraged by the continuous attacks. It howled to the sky, and a powerful dark energy burst out from its body, spreading around like a shock wave, shaking the surrounding houses down. Cracks appeared on the ground, spreading like a spider web, making a chilling click. Toby, Mark and Lily were shocked back several steps by this energy and almost fell. Mark's left arm wound burst again, and blood stained his sleeves red. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and tried to keep his balance. Toby's long sword almost slipped out of his hand. He steadied his body, and his eyes were full of vigilance. Lily hugged the little ice beast tightly, protecting it with her body to prevent it from being injured again. The air around became oppressive and dull, filled with a suffocating fear.
"Toby, cover me!" Mark growled.
Toby raised his sword to block Mark: "I'll block it, you prepare your ultimate move!"
Lily also shouted anxiously: "Mark, be careful!"
Mark nodded, took a deep breath, and began to gather all the energy in his body...
Mark clenched his teeth, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the severe pain in his left arm made him pale. He slowly raised his right hand, and all the energy in his body condensed on his arm. The air around him seemed to solidify. A strong ice energy gathered in his hand and gradually formed a huge ice ball, emitting a biting cold. The gravel on the ground began to frost because of the cold air, making a slight crackling sound. A few leaves that were shaken off fell on the ice ball, and were instantly frozen and became extremely fragile.
Toby watched the dark beast vigilantly, and the long sword in his hand made a low buzzing sound, and the sunlight shining on the sword body flashed a faint golden light. He stood sideways in front of Mark and Lily, with a sharp gaze, ready to deal with the attack of the dark beast at any time. A gust of wind whistled past, blowing up the hair on his forehead, revealing a resolute look. The dark beast let out a deafening roar, with angry flames burning in its eyes, and its claws dug deep grooves on the ground, with gravel flying.
Lily hugged the little ice beast tightly and hid behind Toby. The little ice beast trembled in her arms and whimpered faintly. Lily gently stroked its fur and comforted it in a low voice. She looked up at the ice ball in Mark's hand, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. At this moment, her heart beat so fast that it seemed to jump out of her chest. The doors of the shops on both sides of the street that were originally bustling were now closed. Through the cracks in the doors, you can see the panicked shop owners and customers inside.
"Ready!" Mark shouted, his face flushed with effort, the muscles on his arms tensed, and the veins popped. The huge ice ball emitted a dazzling light, illuminating everything around. The Dark Beast seemed to feel threatened, pacing back and forth uneasily, making a low roar. Its scarlet eyes stared at the ice ball in Mark's hand, and its body was slightly arched, ready for defense. The sound of wood breaking came from the wind, which was the wreckage of the house collapsed by the Dark Beast swaying in the wind.
"Toby, go!" Mark shouted, and threw the ice ball in his hand at the Dark Beast.
Toby seized the opportunity, raised his long sword, and rushed towards the Dark Beast. He was agile, like an arrow from a string, with an astonishing speed. The sword blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound. The Dark Beast's eyes were attracted by the flying ice ball, and for a moment he did not notice Toby's movements.
The ice ball hit the Dark Beast hard with a biting cold. The Dark Beast let out a shrill scream, and its huge body was knocked out by the ice ball and fell heavily to the ground. The ice ball shattered and turned into countless ice crystals, which scattered around. The temperature around dropped sharply, and a thick layer of frost quickly formed on the ground.
Taking advantage of the dark beast falling to the ground, Toby jumped high, and with the long sword in his hand, he slashed at the dark beast's head fiercely with a sharp sword energy.
