The clash between Roy and Eros against the roots and the battle between the rest of the group and the Black Viper intensified, creating a cacophony of clashes, roars, and magical bursts echoing through the temple.
Roy, his eyes still glowing with ancient wisdom, sensed a change in the rhythm of the roots' attacks. He seized the moment, a surge of intuition guiding his hand as he struck at a specific point in the midst of the roots. Eros, recognizing Roy's move, followed suit, his axes meeting Roy's precise strike.
Their combined attack hit a vulnerable spot within the roots, causing a chain reaction. The roots convulsed, their grip on the children weakening. Seizing this opportunity, Roy and Eros channeled their energy once more, their attacks focused on the core of the ruby.
Roy:Now!
The two children focus on the color of the ruby, but their attack fails them again
Eros:Dammit!
Despite their initial failure, Roy and Eros didn't falter. Their determination burned brighter than ever as they analyzed the situation. Roy's eyes flickered with ancient wisdom, seeking a solution within the depths of the forest's knowledge.
Roy: (thinking) There's something we're missing... We need to understand the ruby's essence.
Eros: (scratching his head) But how do we figure that out in the midst of all this chaos?
Little Girl #1:(voice) Roy, Use your power, close your eyes.
Roy heard in his head the voice of the little girl he met in the northern peaks, the first one he had freed.
Roy, trusting the voice, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, allowing the ancient wisdom he had absorbed to guide him. In his mind's eye, he envisioned the ruby, not as a mere gemstone, but as a living entity, pulsating with dark energy.
As he focused, he sensed a connection, a thread of energy that linked the ruby to something deeper within the forest. Following this thread with his inner senses, he discovered a faint echo, a resonance that seemed to harmonize with the ruby's dark energy.
Roy: (whispering) There's a connection... a resonance between the ruby and the heart of the forest. We need to attune our energy to this frequency.
Eros: (intrigued) Attune our energy? How do we even do that?
Roy: (calm) Remember the ancient spirits i met?
Eros: No, I've never seen them.
Roy:Ah, right, however, Their essence was pure and harmonious. We need to align ourselves with that purity, even in the midst of this darkness.
Roy closed his eyes and breathed deeply, suddenly a thin thread became clear to him
Roy:Found! Eros, follow my moves!
Roy channeled the second girl's power, creating red lightning around him, then quickly lunged at the ruby, who tried to defend himself using his roots.
Eros, trusting Roy's guidance, followed his lead. With swift and synchronized movements, they danced around the roots' attacks, their bodies moving in harmony with the energy of the forest. As they approached the ruby, Roy's red lightning intertwined with Eros' swift strikes, creating a mesmerizing dance of power.
Their attacks, now attuned to the frequency of the ruby's essence, struck true. The ruby trembled, its dark energy flickering like a dying flame. Sensing the weakening of the ruby, Roy and Eros intensified their assault, pouring all their strength and determination into their strikes.
Meanwhile, on the lower floor, Gray, Yuki, Remy, Jollín and Shadow continued to fight against "Black Viper".
The intensity of the clash between Roy, Eros and the ruby was felt all the way down
