My blades summoned from fire and wind explode into magnificent balls of man-imbued flames. The white and black blades intertwine with Ember's magic and cover the Silver Dragon, outer shell completely.
It stays silent, unharmed by the blast and waiting for us my make another move. My best guess is it's plotting to finally counter when we do. The Dragon studied our movements, flight patterns, and attack styles while taking damage just to get the upper hand.
"I knew it wasn't going to be easy. Bring it on!"
Yelling out into the magic clouds of debris as we soar upward, the shimmering dragon follows closing the distance just like before.
Our full-powered attacks can't even make a scratch on its new armor, so I'll have to try a much more unconventional way to bring down more of its health.
The moment it erupts from the clouds below, I expand my perception range and activate one of my newest abilities.
"Life Steal."
A pulse of mana with a green hue comes emanating from my body and I feel the life force of the approaching Drogon grow stronger and stronger the closer it gets.
The shimmering green energy of my mana collides with the monster's white aura. I instantly feel the hint of a refreshing sensation come over my full body. From this range, it's hardly taking in 5 HP a second at most, but that's still something.
I smirk as the approaching creature roars and sends a wave of offensive ice magic my way in the shape of a long spear.
"Dungeon Walker."
We teleport away from its clutches and I do the same thing again. By allowing the enemy to come just within range, I suck a small portion of its HP away from it each time. It's growing weaker for every teleportation we use up, but not by much.
Ember and I both send off attacks to counter its fury. This gives me a fraction of a second more time to drain HP before teleporting away.
The only way to do a considerable amount of damage would be to get up closer, but every time I try to teleport a little further into range, the faster an Ice attack blasts at me or we narrowly avoid the massive claws of the enraged beast.
The Boss Monster is getting very frustrated, but its eyes never leave our position. Despite its roars of anger, it stays in full battle mode, only improving with each and every one of my teleports.
By the time another dozen more attacks pass, it's guessing over half of my transport points before I even move there. Despite this, I've drained another hundred or so of its HP.
All I need is time and this battle is as good as won. As long as we stay out of range and keep up this pace, the fight will be over before the collapse gets anywhere close to the final floor.
I charge up my blades and Ember flaps his wings preparing another dual strike to distract it. We blip to the opposite side of the shimmering beast, but the voice that enters my mind catches me completely off guard.
"No more playing around. It's time to get serious."
In an instant, the sky turns dark and a shadowy figure teleports in between me and the Frost Dragon using a purple and black portal to do so.
Before I can even think to teleport away or stop swinging my blades, the wave of flames already flies forward.
I watch the figure raise its hand and block my two shots and Embers fire with ease.
Through the explosion of flames and excess mana, a pair of long red horns emerge on top of the dark-skinned Arch Demon's body.
It's no more than 3 meters tall, but there's so much power emanating from its small frame the creature seems even larger than the dragon glaring at me from behind it.
