"One down, two more to…" he was about to say when he suddenly got hit sending him flying into more trees by the second Echidas as he hit a tree that broke his flight but Grey lay on the floor motionless and unmoving. The beast seeing this walked towards Grey with steady steps while he lay totally unmoving and the mother and daughter duo from above were shocked by the turn of events. "Demon! Are you alright?!" The daughter shouted from above but there was no response and she turned towards her mother who was holding onto her tightly. "Mum, will Demon be okay?" "He will. I hope." She said the last part quietly. The beast was now terribly close and the young elf was scared by the fact that their saviour was about to be killed. "Demon! Wake up or else you will die! Demon!!! Wake up now you demon!" She shouted at the top of her lungs almost damaging her throat but her efforts paid off as the beast was about to stomp on Grey's head when he suddenly flew backwards away from the beast and he landed on his feet with blood dripping down his head. "I'm not a demon darn it! And why the hell were you screaming? My ear is bleeding now." Grey shouted back. "Yayy! The demon is okay!" The young elf said and her mother smiled. The beast seeing Grey okay, began growling as it prepared to charge at him. "You know, you this beast has begun to piss me off and when I'm pissed, I don't have mercy!" Grey said with his eyes scrunched up in anger and then stomping the ground, several spikes began popping out of the ground beneath the beast's feet but already sensing it, it was jumping around avoiding it. "One good thing about having four magical affinities, is that I can be versatile as much as I want." Grey said as he lifted his hand and sent several wind blades heading towards the beast who was still dodging the Earth spikes. Grey was surprised that the beast was able to avoid the two attacks at once and then in a flash, it dashed towards him at full speed. 'Darn it! One thing about these beasts is that the higher their level, the faster they are.' he thought as the beast's paw was now close to his face but jumping back using his wind magic, he avoided the strike and then sent a huge Earth boulder towards the beast but it weaved around avoiding it. But all of a sudden in front of it, it could see two fireballs and in a second, they crashed into it but then out of the smoke, the beast was seen walking out slightly unharmed as its black fur were scorched. 'And the higher their level, the higher their durability! I need to release a powerful attack in order to finish it but I'm not receiving any breathing space.' he thought as he jumped up in the air flying softly above the ground and sent dozens of lightning bolts and fireballs towards the beast that was jumping around avoiding the spells by the skin of its teeth. And then jumping up high, it was about to strike Grey but lifting his hands, he mumbled. "Wind magic! Aerius!" And a huge gust of wind slammed into the beast sending it crashing back into the ground and then from above, he kept unleashing fireballs after fireballs at the beast trying to kill it but it managed to avoid every single one.

Even if I have a large pool of mana from staying here, it isn't infinite, it would still get over so die already you darn beast!" He shouted as he sent a huge lightning bolt at the beast that managed to crash into it stunning it in its spot. "Finally!" He said as he flew towards the ground at tremendous speed before the effects of the lightning wore off. Immediately his feet touched the ground, he controlled the Earth beneath his feet to lift a huge mound of it and then he began forming it into an arrow while he could see the beast twitching about to be released from the effect of the lightning. And when the arrow was formed, fire immediately engulfed it burning brightly while the beast was finally released as it dashed towards Grey at immense speed. "Shit! Wind magic! Aerius ultra!" He shouted and a tremendous gust of wind hit the flaming arrow sending it flying towards the beast at neck breaking speed. "Earth magic! Bind!" He called out as he saw the beast about to change trajectory in order to avoid the arrow and just in time, its feet got stuck in Earth as the arrow slammed into it sending shockwaves and wind blowing out and uprooting trees for miles to go while the ground beneath the beast's feet broke and even around it, it cracked till it got to Grey's side. And finally, the smoke settled and the beast's head could be seen impaled by the arrow as the arrow slowly dissipated while the beast fell with a loud thud and so did Grey as he fell on his knees while clutching his chest. "I… I did it! I managed to defeat level 5 beasts on my own and just in time." He mumbled as he felt his mana dwindling when he heard screaming above him and he could see the elf mother and daughter duo falling from the sky. "Shit! Wind magic!" He called out with the last bit of mana he had left and they were softly landed on the ground unharmed and unhurt. "Yayy! Uncle demon is so cool and powerful!" The little elf said as she ran towards Grey and hugged him tightly. "For the last time I'm not a… actually nevermind." Grey said as he ruffled the elf's hair making her smile cheekily. "Thank you so much for saving us even though you were forced into the situation by our leader." The woman said. "It's fine. Because of it, I think I have grown stronger in combat." Grey said with a smile when the whole battlefield suddenly felt a tremendous pressure mount them. The pressure was somewhat suffocating and sinister as their hearts all thumped loudly in fear by what they were feeling. Grey who was several metres away from the main battlefield felt the same pressure and aura and he knew what it was. "The boss is finally making its move." He mumbled with his heart thumping louder and louder with each passing moment almost feeling like it wanted to jump out of his mouth.
