The battle against the Juggernaut was reaching a critical point. Human and Xenos were facing the colossal beast amidst its continuous onslaught, but it was clear that the creature was becoming increasingly furious and unpredictable. Until now, Lucius had managed to skilfully intervene, using his time magic to manipulate the position of the Juggernaut's tusks, saving Xenos from fatal attacks several times.

The Juggernaut, with its primitive yet cunning intelligence, realized that Lucius was a greater threat than it had initially anticipated. It let out a deafening roar that echoed through the area, shaking the ground beneath their feet, and then, with surprising speed for its size, turned towards Lucius again leaving the xenos behind as they continued to wound its body and tried to reach it.

Lucius, whose eyes never left the beast, immediately noticed the monster's shift in focus. He knew he needed to act quickly. As the Juggernaut charged, Lucius concentrated and activated his teleport ability. With a flash, he disappeared from the spot he had been just a moment before, reappearing in a safer position several dozen meters away.

The Juggernaut, confused by the sudden disappearance of its target, paused for a moment, its burning eyes scanning the area in search of Lucius as before, but now it seemed to be starting to find Lucius faster. Even with little time, this pause gave the Xenos a precious opportunity to attack, and they did not waste this moment. With a series of quick and precise movements, Xenos delivered several powerful strikes to the creature, each hitting the Juggernaut with devastating force.

Lucius didn't fall behind; he began to cast bolts onto the juggernaut continuously to obscure its vision with the glare of the spell. The Juggernaut was increasingly wounded by the physical attacks of the xenos.

Irritated by this, it launched its claws and Ray, without being able to react, was the target this time, but a blue sphere enveloped him with strange symbols, and it disappeared before the juggernaut's claws could hit him.

Ray looked at Lucius for a moment as he emerged from the sphere, he couldn't help but thank him for being saved by the human wizard's spell.

A moment later, Juggernaut's bony head received massive damage from Asterius's sword.

*ROAAARRR!* The monster groaned in pain, throwing punches in all directions while spheres continued to cover the xenos to keep them away from the blows.

"Damn magic-resistant creature..." Lucius murmured as the only thing he could do was help with support magic.

The juggernaut tried once more to launch an attack on him and he teleported once again, appearing in a safe place.

'You are persistent...' he thought, as he watched the creature find him and growl at him. 'Is he getting used to my magic teleport and even predicting where I will appear?' Lucius couldn't help but worry about this a bit, the juggernaut was adapting to Lucius's fighting style.

As the battle unfolded again, the Xenos surrounded it and held their position, attacking with coordination, injuring the creature more and more. Meanwhile, the Juggernaut, despite being wounded and enraged, continued to be a formidable threat. Lucius continued to provide crucial support, saving them from deadly attacks and confusing the Juggernaut with his spells.

At that moment, Gros was saved once again by Lucius.

"Lucius, your magic... is what keeps us alive. Thankful," said Gros, his deep voice resonating with sincerity.
