The Fire Golems started the fight. One punch from them created cracks in the ground. A single punch from them right on the boday would be fatal. Apart from their strength, their Mana Arrow can deal quite a lot of damage to Chio. Thankfully, Aurora has Mana Shield to protect them.

Chio retaliated.

"Tetra Punch!"

Using Tetra Punch, Chio knocked away 4 Fire Golems at once. The fourth Golem got the most damage. Chio and Aurora then continued to destroy the summons first. It didn't take too much time. Finally, it was time to face Soki. The Golems had created countless of cracks on the ground. Seem like there is a limited area of land to run about.

For starters, Soki send off a ShockWave. Chio and Aurora jumped up and dodged it easily, but Soki released a second ShockWave at them. Unable to dodge the second one, Chio successfully used Dash in midair, and manage to protect Aurora and herself with Guard. Chio only just made it. A single second of miscalculation would have been disastrous.

Soki swipe his staff at them. Chio stopped it with her bare fist and held it there. This gave Aurora a chance to attack.

"Arrow Rush!"

Soki was knocked back, and it staggered for a split second. In the process, Soki had released it's grip on his staff. Chio threw the staff away, far away from Soki's reach. Now they have the upperhand. Soki released a ShockVibe that stunned Chio and Aurora for a second.
"Continue the attack!" Chio shouted.

However, it seems this time, her punches and strikes weren't as powerful as before. Aurora's Magic skills also started to miss frequently. Chio and Aurora retreated for a moment and hid behind come of the crumbled walls in the area, and wait for the effect of ShockVibe to wear off. After a few minutes, the resumed their attack.

"Pumping Heart! Bull's Eyes! Hyper Beat! Aura of Haste! Guard!"

"Mana Shield! Mist of Mana! Aura of Mana! Gnome's Blessing!"

Chio advanced with caution. As she got nearer, Soki lifted up it's hand to attack. Right before contact, Chio used Dash, and came to a stop right in fornt of Soki. Then...

"Uppercut!"

The force from UpperCut, together with Counter Punch, was so great that it sent Soki flying. Aurora used the chance and unleased a barrage of Mana Arrow at it. Right before Soki landed, Aurora opened the ground with Earthquake. Soki held on tight to the edge of the cracks. The hole opened by Aurora was so deep that even Soki wouldn't survive. Aurora then used Dragon Storm on Soki's hand. As Soki lost his grip and fell, Chio executed another attack.

"Inferno Blade!"

Fire swords appeared and flew into the hole with high speed. They knew it made contact when the heard a loud roar, followed by an explosion.

Aurora started jumping up and down happily, but Chio took out her sword and pointed towards the trees nearby.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

"Haha... So, you've noticed."

"Of course. I felt your presense from the beginning. Who are you?"

"Me?" The mysterious figure said as she walked out. "I'm someone you wouldn't want to meet. My name is..."
