296 Zero Chances Of Winning?

'She doesn't want to fight whatever is coming. Frankly, I'd rather not fight both at the same time. Actually... If whatever is coming can get in her way from time to time, that would raise my chances.'

Mark let out a sigh.

'Realistically, there are zero chances of me winning against her. Even though she doesn't use Magic, I can't conjure up an image of me winning against her. Zephyr was somewhat of an all-rounder even though he didn't use Magic against me. The holes in the Boss Room being filled using Wind Magic prove that he is capable of using Magic. All-rounder... That Commander relied heavily on his Senses. This Eye... Maybe it's not so simple. Having one of them should be enough but... Maybe the High Elven Pupil's full potential can only be reached when having two of them? Doesn't matter now. She... She's all brute strength.'

Ani smiled as she slammed her fists together.

"Let's make this a good one. And the last one."

'Zephyr... Imagine Zephyr if he had discarded his ability to use Magic and put that... Energy? Into brute strength.'

The white-scaled Monster sighed again.

'Only one way for me to do this now.' 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚

Mark raised his right arm to the side.

Flames immediately started rising from that arm.

He raised his left arm to the side.

Ice crystals started covering that arm and bits of Frost fell to the ground.

"Phwee..." Ani whistled. "If it's more of the same," She launched herself forward. "That won't do."

'Only thing I can do now...' Mark thought with a smile on his face as he directed his palms towards the approaching Commander. 'Is be as flashy as I can.'

The Frost that lay on the ground turned into an Ice Spike and pierced the air on its way towards Ani.

Part of the flames that rose from Mark's right arm turned into Burning Spears, something that he had seen the Fire Spirit do too.

Both attacks were dodged, but neither was lost.

The Spike and the Spears turned around in mid-air and moved towards the Commander's back.

With a backswing, the Ice was shattered and the flames blown off.

Mark spread the dark wings on his back.

Venomous Wings-

The purple drops hanging on his wings turned into a cloud of purple particles as he flapped his wings and jumped up.

The Commander's backswing had allowed him just enough time to do so.

Mark called out his Inventory as a punch blew the cloud of purple particles away. They had been blown away, but hadn't disappeared.

"Full of tricks, huh?" Ani whispered as a dozen spikes made of bones hit the floor, right out of the white-scaled Monster's Inventory.

'The way her fists blow everything in their way...' Mark's eyes glittered as his feet landed on the ground. 'I'll try it!'

He jumped back to dodge Ani's hit and sent the bone spikes towards her at the same time.

'Not yet...'

As Mark ran forward, flames appeared all over his arms.

Ani's fists destroyed the bone spikes one by one.

She was about to move towards the white-scaled Monster, when she noticed the shattered bones floating in the air in a strange way.

A low chuckle escaped her mouth and Mark clicked his tongue.

Bone Manipulation.

The further the Manipulated Bone is, the more Mana is Consumed.

The tougher the Manipulated Bone journey is, the more Mana is Consumed.

For example, moving it through water would consume more water than moving it through the air.

Moving it through something like a living enemy was something that Mark was used to doing. But to lower the Mana Consumption, the Manipulated Bone must accumulate momentum before reaching the "surface" it's supposed to travel through or tear.

The bones presently used couldn't do much though. They couldn't do anything really.

Her skin and muscles were the sturdiest surface they had faced until now.

Still, that fraction of a second bought allowed Mark's fist to reach her.

A fist covered by flames. By Compressed Flames painted red by the Flames Of Chaos.

Upon contact, the flames would cause an explosion.

But that wasn't enough.

As that fist approached her side,

Fire Manipulation x Flame Of Chaos x Wind Blast

BOOM-

Seconds later,

"Crafty, little snake." Ani whispered as she stood a dozen meters away from the white-scaled Monster.

It was a rather pathetic and disheartening view, as from the dozen meters separating them, Mark had traveled 8 of them.

His own attack had pushed him away and dislocated his shoulder.

It did make him chuckle though.

"The Pet is getting closer. Time-"

"Time to finish this." Mark interrupted as he extended his left arm forward.

'So he CAN talk!'

'I haven't really used it this whole time. Inside the Ice Dome, she might have missed it. So this is a good time.'

Dark Corrupting Spear-

Ani's eyes widened as she stared, her face turning into something that wasn't quite a smile but resembled one.

Mark passed the Dark Corrupting Spear to his right hand, and raised his left arm above.

Dark Corruption, Colossal Harpoon-

Dark Corruption, Colossal Harpoon-

Dark Corruption, Colossal Harpoon-

"There we go. Your specialty, isn't it?" Ani raised her arms to the side before bending her elbows. "Could be smelled from miles away."

'Smelled? Mm. Elisa said that she could smell the Corruption but...' Mark lowered his arm and launched himself forward, Dark Corrupting Spear in hand, as the Colossal Harpoons started moving towards their target. 'She doesn't strike me like the kind that can smell.'

Unlike for the rest, Corruption Magic can't be blown off.

The weapons might appear as solids presently, but blowing them off would only make them turn back into the dark liquid that constitutes them. To risk getting splashed by Corruption Magic was a bit too much even for Ani, even though she didn't know exactly how deadly or potent the white-scaled Monster's Level of Corruption was.

'Dodge? Or grab them?' The Commander asked herself.

A chuckle escaped her mouth as she started moving even faster.

"Thinking is Lin's thing, not mine."
