Mythical Hunt (5)
While the summons dealt with the Drakonian, Ashton took his time to focus on the gooey substance around them. At one glance, Ashton could tell it wasn't something natural and seemed to have a mind of its own.
Ashton's best guess what that whatever the slime was, it could suck the life out of anything that touched it by consuming the mana within them.
It didn't matter whether the thing latched on to it was alive or not. As long as it had mana, the slime could attack them. That was also why Dolos, an undead summon, was about to get absorbed by the goo had Celeste not intervened.
In the meantime, the battle raged on like never before.
Sven was the first to attack, darting forward with lightning-fast speed. He swung his sword at the Drakonian's leg, but it was like trying to cut through steel forged in the heart of the sun.
Celeste launched a volley of shadow bolts at the creature, but they bounced harmlessly off its scales.
