Chapter 23: The Quartz Ruins(Part 3)
"Get behind me!" Exclaimed Raven as the large, three-headed dog Monster unleashed blasts of flames from all three of its jaws, before he swiftly shot forward as he fully transformed, opened his jaws wide and burst out a wide, blazing wave of his purple flames, a surge of heat erupting as his flames collided with the Monster's.
The air between them shimmered violently, as Raven strained to maintain his output, slowly starting to lose ground against the Cereberus's flames...
"[Explosion Bomb]!" Chanted Celia, forming a sphere of explosive energy and flinging it up and over the mass of clashing flames, a fierce explosion erupting ahead as Raven's flames petered out, a cloud of smoke bursting out as the Explosion Spell hit the ground in front of the Monster.
Raven coughed slightly as he tried to catch his breath, before stiffening as a feral roar rang out, right as the Monster shot out of the smoke cloud, unleashing sharp bursts of flames at Raven from its jaws.
Raven swiftly unleashed a powerful sonic screech in response, the flames coming to a stop before sharply wavering and dissipating, before the Monster shot forward, Raven's sonic attack dazing the right head, but it wasn't enough to slow the creature down.
As the Cereberus closed in on Raven and swiped its claws at him, he quickly spread out his wings and took off into the air, narrowly evading the slash of the Monster's claws, right before Celia fired off a barrage of small, rapid explosive projectiles at it.
A chain of explosions erupted in rapid succession as her projectiles peppered the front of the Cereberus's body, sending it stumbling back right as Raven unleashed his eye beams at full power, the purple beams shooting down with rapid, penetrative force and hit the middle of the top of the left head, piercing through its skull and drilling into its brain.
Deafening roars rang out from the two remaining heads as the left head slumped lifelessly, blood trickling out of the holes in the top of its skull, before Celia unleashed more explosive projectiles at the Monster.
As her projectiles closed in on it, it quickly leapt several meters straight up into the air, several explosions bursting out across the ground as the Monster evaded the projectiles, before turning its gaze up as Raven came rapidly swooping down towards it.
He drew back his right fist and coated it in intense, crackling lightning as he closed in on the Monster, swerving across as the right head snapped its jaws at him, evading before driving his fist towards the side of the right head.
His fist slammed onto the side of its jaw, cracking and knocking out several teeth before his eyes widened in alarm as the Monster swung its left front paw across towards him.
