I watch the Boss Room portal turn a darker shade of grey after the eerie energy pulses out from it. I can't feel it, but my All-Seeing Eye picks up a reading of a nearly invisible mana shoot out in all directions.
More importantly, there are two Mutant Golems guarding the boss room portal with dual cores.
The landscape below is less dry and flat than up here. Small green and yellow shrubs grow out from the bases of high orange rock structures scattered along the desert floor. A bright blue sky shines bright behind them in all directions.
Arie's last shot just confirmed that if both cores in the mutants aren't broken, these monsters can regenerate back up to their full unaltered forms using just one.
That's my best guess.
I look over to my teammates, then ignite my sword into flames. The rest of them all activate their active battle skills and we all jump from the high ledge down into action.
Both of the vicious-looking monsters watch us fall, and they let out roars that vibrate through the air.
Abby activates her earth magic for Maria and Arie to use as stepping stones while I free-fall with my eyes locked on the two now-approaching Golems.
Less than 5 meters from the ground, I decide to activate some of my un-tested combat magic.
If necessary, I can use my wind magic to slow my descent, but I know it won't be a problem. Although I haven't used these skills much yet, I can feel what they're capable of.
Activating my Earth magic, along with Mana Manipulation I easily liquefy the ground below me.
In my perception, with my All-Seeing Eye skill active, the ground below me looks like a bright white and pink glowing malleable form of pure mana to shape into whatever my heart desires.
To anyone looking from the outside, the orange rock below me rises up in the shape of two thin pillars to touch the soles of my boots. The mana-imbued stone collides with my feet and instantly begins to climb up my legs as I fall to the floor.
Instead of a loud thud and the cracking of stone, my impact is silent.
The energy from the fall disperses across the stone floor and it ripples as the orange rock melts off my legs back into the ground below.
I deactivate my two combat skills, stomping on the ground with my right foot to make sure it's really solid. The dust and sand that flies up confirm my answer.
I turn toward the two mutants to see they've already shortened the distance between us considerably.
I use Appraisal on the closest one.

Above, Arie jumps in to join as I run at the monster charging in.
Both of its cores glow brightly.
The layer of shielding over its head and chest thickens as it makes the ground shake with every step.
The glowing orange eyes match its core. Fragments of rock float in the air around it shifting and reforming into its arms and legs as it gains more and more speed.
