The two remaining goblins seethed with fury at the loss of their kin. As they leered at the oddly revitalized wolf pup, Daisuke kicked off the ceiling with all his might, hurling downward like a tractor beam.

SWHISHH!

Before the shaman could retaliate with a protective barrier, its arm, clutching the staff, was sent flying to the side.

"Keeeriiick!" the bastard howled in agony.

"That's payback for taking that girl's leg," Daisuke muttered, purple blood staining the Lipanthyer's Fang.

Zephyr peered down at the demihuman over the bridge of his snout, returning the creature's contemptuous gaze. Suddenly, the pup vanished from his lofty perch, leaving the creature bewildered. Switching to its olfactory senses, the demihuman attempted to track Zephyr's movements by scent, but the pup was too fast to follow.

WHOOOSH!

Zephyr streaked past the demihuman like a blur, fangs forged of condensed mana effortlessly peeling off a section of its leather armor that was once seemingly indestructible.

For the first time since their duel began, the creature's expression twisted in disbelief and frustration. It had clearly underestimated Zephyr's agility, and now with the hordes of goblins gone, there was nothing to hinder the canine's speed.

As Zephyr darted off again, the goblin braced itself for the attack, planning to shift from defense to offense the moment the wolf's momentum waned after his assault.

The creature's breath caught in its throat as four streaks of light, reminiscent of claw marks, glinted in its widened eyes. A pained roar tore from its lungs as mana hardened and sharpened like steel, etched a bloody path across its eye, down its face, and along its torso.

In a sudden shift, the goblin swallowed its cry, tightened its grasp on the club, and with all its might, swung the weapon in a tight arc.

CLANGG!

The creature's eye dilated in shock as its wooden club collided with a translucent wall of energy. The counter shield tolled like a bell, sending ripples across its surface in a honeycomb pattern before dissipating. Though the goblin's attack had landed, Zephyr merely staggered back a few steps, completely unscathed.

Before the goblin's hairless eyebrows could pull down into a tight scowl, it glimpsed a curious flicker of electricity. In an instant, its body was ensnared by a paralyzing current, coiling around it like a serpent.

PISHH!

The shaman's bloodied and swollen face snapped to the side with each blow, purple blood staining the cave floor with every strike. In addition to depleting its mana from repetitive use of barriers and offensive spells, it had also lost a significant amount of blood along with its precious staff.

Daisuke's fists hammered into the creature, driven by a cocktail of righteous fury and the need to release pent-up tension. His fists found their mark again and again. With every strike, he felt a measure of relief, but above all, he longed for this harrowing ordeal to come to an end.

Summoning a Magic Chain, Daisuke callously looped it around the shaman's neck before delivering a swift kick that sent the creature careening into the paralyzed demihuman. With a display of his own remarkable agility, he circled the struggling goblins, binding them both in the chains.

"Zephyr!" he called out tellingly.

The pup didn't need another word to comprehend his comrade's meaning. The air crackled with energy as the canine tapped into the depths of his power. Golden wisps of electricity danced around his legs as he called upon Extreme Speed, his oceanic eyes stirring with an eerie storm.

Without hesitation or remorse, Zephyr surrendered himself to his predatory instincts and descended upon the goblins like a twister. Reinforced fangs and claws flashed in the dim light as he unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks, each strike leaving behind a trail of shimmering golden sparks.

The goblins howled in agony as the onslaught intensified. Bolts of blue lightning arced through the chamber, searing through flesh and bone with unstoppable force. In mere moments, the once formidable foes were reduced to smoldering husks, their cries silenced by the wings of justice.

DING!
