[A/N]
I'm making an early note because this is important. So, I'm experimenting with my chapter being paraphrased with AI, and this is the result of it. What do you think of this? I need your opinion on it.
If you like this one rather than my own description in the fight, or you don't like it, look at this chapter's comment and like my comment because I will make two comments, and you will know which one to choose. It's always welcome to even give your opinion and make a comment yourself.
Don't worry about me giving author notes is to fill the WC because I guarantee you that I wouldn't do this kind of thing.

A lot of Ice spikes formed around the moose, surprising the moose that it immediately became wary of Nix as it used [Elemental Wood] skill, and built a thin barrier made out of wood since it sensed that the spikes weren't lethal.
The moose's wooden barrier creaked under the pressure as frost began to creep across its surface. Cracks splintered outward, fine fissures spreading as the overwhelming cold weakened its structure.
The moose, sensing the threat escalating, stomped its colossal hooves into the ground with its [Heavy Stomp] skill.
The earth rumbled like a drumbeat, shockwaves rippling outward. Nix's Ice Storm faltered momentarily as cracks tore through the ground, disrupting the dragon's footing.
Nix let out an angry roar, frost swirling around its shimmering silver-blue scales. With a beat of his wings, he soared into the air, avoiding further tremors.
From above, Nix's icy eyes locked onto the moose. Frost gathered in his jaws as the dragon prepared his next attack.
The moose raised its head, its enormous antlers gleaming with a faint green glow as it unleashed [Elemental Wood] again.
Massive wooden roots burst forth from the earth, twisting upward to ensnare the dragon. Like titanic serpents, the roots lashed toward Nix, trying to bind his wings and drag him back to the ground.
Looking at the incoming attack, Nix responded by spreading his wings wide, releasing dozens of jagged ice spears as he used [Ice Spike] dozens of times.
The frozen projectiles shot downward, piercing the roots and shattering them mid-air. Some of the shards struck the moose's flank, leaving frostbitten wounds across its thick hide.
The moose bellowed in pain, shaking its massive body. Its eyes glowed faintly as its [Mid-Level Regeneration] began to activate, the frostbitten wounds knitting together slowly.
However, Nix noted something crucial—the healing process wasn't instant.
Nix responded with a guttural growl as his Frost Armor shimmered, ice plating encasing his body to boost his defenses. He dove toward the moose like a glacial meteor, claws extended.
Nix's claws gleamed with sharp layers of frozen energy as he struck the moose's side.
The impact was thunderous—icy talons ripping through fur and flesh, leaving a massive gash that sprayed frozen mist into the air.
The moose staggered but countered immediately as it stomped again with [Heavy Stomp], this time channeling its full strength.
The earth erupted violently beneath Nix, a shockwave smashing into his armored body and sending him skidding backward, his claws gouging trenches into the ground but Nix quickly regained his footing.
The moose, though wounded, wasn't finished. Its antlers pulsed with emerald energy, channeling its remaining strength into a final desperate [Elemental Wood] attack.
Giant roots thicker than trees shot out of the ground, wrapping around Nix's legs and wings. The moose's muscles tensed as it pulled, trying to drag the dragon into a crushing embrace of wood and earth.
Nix roared in frustration, struggling against the constriction. Frost crackled where his scales touched the roots, but the moose was relentless.
Looking at Nix, who seemed to struggle to break free, Cain clenched his fists and shouted. "Nix, use Ice Breath and break free!" Continue your adventure with empire
With Cain's shout, Nix's chest expanded as his lungs filled with freezing energy. His jaws opened wide, releasing an avalanche of icy mist.
The frost hit the roots directly, spreading across them like liquid ice, freezing them solid in moments.
Nix's wings flexed powerfully, and with a surge of strength, he shattered the frozen roots, sending shards flying in all directions.
Nix launched into the air once more, his breath heavy but his determination unwavering.
From above, he glared down at the moose, whose chest rose and fell laboriously. Its regeneration was slowing, unable to keep up with the relentless assault.
Nix who saw this immediately determined to end the battle as he flapped his wings and soared higher. Frost gathered around him, the air turning bitterly cold.
Noticing the dragon's movement, the moose tried to use one last root attack as its antlers crackled with energy. The ground trembled violently as wooden tendrils erupted toward the sky.
Nix roared as he used [Ice Storm] attack, and a blizzard of ice and snow exploded from Nix's body, swirling violently around the moose. The wind howled, frost covering the battlefield in an unrelenting cascade.
The moose, already weakened, struggled to move as the temperature plummeted. Its wooden armor splintered and cracked, unable to withstand the force of the icy onslaught.
The moose's body began to stiffen. Its movements slowed to a crawl as ice crept up its legs, across its massive frame, and finally over its antlers.
It let out a deep, echoing bellow, the sound of defiance and defeat—before falling silent.
The Ice Storm subsided, leaving behind a battlefield blanketed in snow and frost. In the center stood the moose, frozen solid, a towering monument of glimmering ice.
Its once-proud antlers were now encased in a crystalline sheen, a testament to Nix's overwhelming power.
Nix descended slowly, landing beside his fallen foe. His breath came in heavy clouds of frost, and his wings folded at his sides.
Despite his exhaustion, he let out a triumphant roar that echoed across the frozen landscape.
Cain approached cautiously, his boots crunching on the ice-covered ground. He then came to Nix and petted him, a proud smile on his face. "That was a good show you've shown me, Nix."
Nix rumbled softly in response, his white-blue scales shimmering in the pale light. Cain scanned the area one final time, ensuring no other beasts had been drawn by the epic battle.
After ensuring that no beasts were attracted by the commotion, Cain put the moose's frozen carcass into his beast space and jumped onto Nix's back.
"Let's go back first, Nix." Cain patted Nix's body.
The moment Nix flew to the sky, Cain heard the system notifications that he had been waiting for.
[Ding! Nix has killed the High-level Lord Rank Beast.]
[Ding! Nix's experience at Lord Rank has increased to 50%.]
After Cain heard the system notification, he thought to himself, "It seems Nix only needs to kill one more beast and I would be able to make the experience into 100%."
