Ascension of the Primalist [A Tamer Class, LitRPG]

Seth ducked under three head-sized fireballs that roared past him and grazed his back before rising and pushing aether through Huntbound Rush's grooves. He then charged toward the Fire Elemental standing a dozen feet away while Nightmare and Colossus continued to engage a Wind Elemental with a vortex-like body behind.

A surge of teal aether from Phantom Punch wrapped Seth's arm, the skeletal fist pulsing with raw power as he reared back his elbow. The Fire Elemental hissed and prepared to counter with the maelstrom of flame that had just appeared between its three-clawed hands. But before it could unleash the attack, Seth's fist flashed forward. The Undead spell blasted through the swirling flames and disintegrated half of the Elemental's torso in a violent shower of sputtering embers. The creature let out a pained cry, then its form wavered and its body's hue shifted from a raging red to an intense, unstable blue.

Without wasting a second, Seth used Shadow Step to teleport next to a rock right as the wounded Elemental exploded outward and scorched everything in a wide radius. The instant the spell sizzled out, he dashed back in, the hard gray stone of Iron Fists already around his gauntlets. Noticing his return, the Fire Elemental raised its hands and its claws lengthened into obsidian-like talons.

Thanks to his core, Seth saw through the attack before it even began and easily deflected it, knocking the fiery claws aside with his stone-clad gauntlet. The moment the Fire Elemental tried to slash him with its other hand, Seth bashed its head back with a jab, then buried his fist in its chest. The creature stumbled, and its body flickered.

Before it could regain its composure, Seth was already on it. His gauntlets blurred and battered the poor Elemental until its flames sputtered and vanished entirely, leaving behind a Rank-35 red beaststone that clattered onto the cavern floor.

A dozen yards away, Nightmare pounced yet again, finishing off the Wind Elemental with the help of Colossus, who had the creature immobilized with his massive claws while stinging it repeatedly with his three tails. As the Elemental's swirling body unraveled into nothingness and another beaststone dropped to the ground, Seth took a moment to check their progress, casting Intermediate Identify on all three of them.
