The moment the almost entirely green pentagram of Vicente's second essence glowed brightly, the Behemoth's own shadows acted against it, coming to life as monstrous hands left the ground to grab the creature's body.
Vicente's new green pentagram glowed, inaugurating the new power of his first magical essence.
Metallic Symphony!
The metals that the Behemoth had destroyed moments before trembled as they 'heard' Vicente's call, leaving the places where they had fallen to coalesce into various metallic forms.
Metallic Symphony, the evolution of Vicente's first ability, could animate and command metals, creating semi-sentient entities capable of performing complex tasks or fighting autonomously!
Some of these metal forms vibrated as they understood what they were supposed to do. Some weapons instinctively attacked the enemy, while metal creatures in humanoid forms leaped at the enemy.
These were not robotic armors, but metallic creatures, completely independent of Vicente's commands, who would fight individually in his name as long as they existed!
Derived from a new power of his and his mana, these creatures were on the same level as their creator, Low-level Paragons!
The Behemoth felt the darkness trying to paralyze it as huge metallic hands appeared around its body, attacking it with swords, curved spears, and metal beings.
For a moment, it couldn't say a word, shocked to see its enemy skillfully using two completely unique abilities at the same time.
But it wasn't the only one shocked. Vicente's companions, watching all this, couldn't help but feel confused, understanding almost nothing of what was going on.
But after Vicente's first movements, Lina called out to everyone. "Let's attack the enemy! If we don't act together, he won't be able to kill the creature!"
Her companions left their doubts for later and advanced a few seconds after her speech, apparently believing this would be necessary for their victory.
Onyx joined them in attacking the creature's body, mainly using his aura to ease the suppression of the creature.
As weak as they all were compared to the Behemoth, if the difference between Vicente and the monster was small, then their help could make a difference.
Layla joined Rory to attack the creature's eyes, the only sensitive part of the enemy they had identified.
Casey and Lina continued what they had been doing, while Sarah and Onyx, along with Vicente, used their auras to pressure the enemy.
Everyone was using their robotic armor and powers, messing up the electromagnetic field in the area while exhausting their mana.
"Fucking magicians!" the Behemoth shouted as it felt the weight on its body and found it increasingly difficult to move.
After realizing it could hurt itself if it continued like this, the creature felt its eyes grow bloodshot as it raised its head and looked up at the night sky.
As it opened its mouth and let out a scream that could bring down Sovereigns traveling dozens of kilometers away, it drew a series of lightning bolts toward it, causing the sky to light up in the middle of the night as the many rays of light came toward it.
Ka-boom!
Several thunderclaps shook this part of the valley, hitting the Behemoth's body and destroying many of Vicente's autonomous metal items, but also throwing away his allies.
The attack was not aimed at the Behemoth's own body, but at the oppression generated by those many opponents.
The moment the thunder thickened and the beam of light struck that direction, an electromagnetic pulse spread through the area, throwing all of Vicente's allies away as if their bodies were electrocuted cannonballs.
Vicente felt blood dripping from his lips and nose as he fell backwards, feeling a powerful attack on his soul.
Fortunately, he had an affinity with the lightning element, otherwise he could have been seriously injured now that he was the Behemoth's major target.
'Don't distract yourself, master. The Behemoth has used up a lot of its mana, but its body is so strong that it can kill you with physical attacks!' Torne warned his master as he felt his non-
existent heart beating vigorously in his chest.
Not only was this a deadly battle, but Vicente had advanced to the 5th stage with only 3 pentagrams in his first magical form.
The only reason this young man hadn't exploded yet was because of the advancement in the quality of his first pentagram and because of his Throne of Darkness pentagram.
But Torne could sense the current instability of Vicente's magical foundation!
Vicente was in danger because of the power of his opponent, but also because of the instability within his body that could cause him to explode at any moment!
Torne did his best to prevent the worst from happening to his master, but he was already practically exhausted and could do nothing more than advise his master.
Knowing that Vicente was worried about the others, he advised. 'They are alive. Just concentrate on killing the monster. It's fast approaching its weakest state! But again, be careful! Even in that state, it can kill you!'
Vicente clenched his fists as he watched the creature charging at him like a tiger ready to pounce on its prey.
Then, with no further support from his companions, Vicente made his body and magical forms disappear, concentrating on his last move before completely exhausting himself in a combined attack between his powers from both pentagrams.
He formed a twelve-meter-long sword, imbuing it with all his negative elements while charging the mana within it with his murderous intent.
The sword shrouded itself in darkness, then flew toward the Behemoth that was approaching where Vicente had just been.
Instead of attacking the mountain-sized creature with just that sword, Vicente completely camouflaged it while making other smaller but dangerous attacks on the enemy.
The darkness in the area rose a few levels, bringing a dark mist to this area of the Valley of Lightning and suppressing the rich lightning element in the area.
Just as the Behemoth began to succumb to magical fatigue and exhaustion, Vicente appeared, leaping into the air a few feet in front of the creature's head, wielding the mighty sword of darkness.
"Die, you damned monster!" He shouted as he concentrated everything he had into one blow.
If he failed, it would probably be the end of Vicente and all his companions.
The Behemoth shook its eyes and its whole body at its enemy's last attack, bitterly regretting that it had let the little insect test it earlier. Unfortunately, regret had no value on the battlefield.
Seeing its own mistake in this fight, the giant Behemoth saw its opponent's weapon reach it!
