While Ifrit charged at Titan to close the distance between them, Lyra took a deep breath to calm herself and channel her divine powers. She would need more than just her normal holy body to fight this battle. Channeling the aether gifted to her by the Mothercrystal shards, she fused with Cronus and transformed into a godly beast that was worthy of standing against the corrupt Titan.

Her form was larger than Ifrit's. It would make for the perfect form to fight the corrupted Eikon. Without wasting any time, she dashed forward as fast as she could. It only took a few seconds for her to catch up to Ifrit while dodging the rubble raining down from the sky. She ran up behind the Eikon of Fire and scooped him onto her back. "Hold on!"

Ifrit was stunned at seeing Gaia's new form, but he was more than enthusiastic at her appearance. He rode on her back because she was much faster than him and was closing the distance between them and Titan at a rapid pace. While she dodged the incoming boulders, he used his fire to destroy the larger debris flying toward them.

Seeing their quick approach, Titan maneuvered one of his stone tendrils and sent it surging toward them in an attempt to crush them.

Gaia nimbly dodged and jumped onto the stony appendage. She ran up it to reach the Eikon's main body, but he tried to stop her with boulders and crystals. Ifrit continued to use his flames to destroy whatever tried to stop them.

Titan saw how close the goddess and Eikon were getting and acted quickly. He destroyed the appendage they were traveling up with his hand, but she jumped into the air just in time to avoid his hand and landed on another stony tendril. They didn't make it far before the corrupted Eikon grabbed the appendage they were on and swung it around.

Gaia dug her claws into the stone to prevent from being knocked off. She lowered her body, only to notice Titan was swinging them directly toward his other fist. Acting fast, she jumped into the air.

Ifrit jumped off her back and delivered a flaming attack to Titan's arm. However, it didn't even cause a dent.

The corrupted Eikon focused his efforts on Ifrit. He sent tendril after tendril toward the Eikon of Fire. He managed to knock him through the air and went in for the kill with another tendril but was stopped when a powerful lightning strike rained from the heavens and destroyed the appendage.

Titan's gaze fell to Gaia, who was still trying to reach the main body. His next attack was focused on her but was taken by surprise the moment Ifrit grabbed one of his tendrils and sent it hurtling toward him. The appendage ripped through his left arm and it fell to the ground.

Ifrit landed on the top of Drake's Fang just below the main body of Titan. He was soon joined by Gaia. "We've got you now!" He shouted. Together, they stood against the corrupted Eikon and dealt heavy blow after heavy blow when he tried to smash them with his remaining arm. They dodged each and every attack Titan sent their way and were in perfect sync.
