BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
The fireballs continued falling one after the other. These were as strong as Tier 3 Spells and reinforced through the Fiery Grizzlies Fire-related Skills, most likely. The bombardment of explosive flames continued consecutively.
Perhaps if these attacks were from E Rank and below monsters, I would be able to easily tank them with my armor and basic defenses, and I could certainly take several of these head-on even now, but I would rather conserve my energies for later than burn my face.
"{Bloodthirsty Javelin}!"
I quickly imbued Blood Energy into Gluttony, launching it against a nearby Fiery Grizzlies and piercing its stomach with it!
"G R U O O O H H H H…!"
The furious Fiery Grizzlies roared in pain, trying to get the spear out of its body, only for Gluttony to begin eating it from the inside out. No fire attacks or slashing attacks using their claws worked. The Fiery Grizzlies ended falling into the floor and dying quite painfully.
While that happened, I kept shooting them at the eyes to distract them and make them get lost or confused. While the rest of my friends were handling things quite well by protecting the four mages. It has barely been 50 seconds but things were only getting more intense.
"Aahh, my attacks get completely tanked by them! They're very resistant to Nature and Life magic…. Is it because fire burns plants, right?!" Eric said while feeling slightly tired, firing arrows from a distance which exploded into branches wrapping around the Fiery Grizzlies, only for the bears to free themselves seconds later by setting them ablaze easily.
"S-Stay behind me, meat bun!" Alberta said valiantly, pointing her giant Cannon at the Fiery Grizzlies and blasting them away with deadly explosive bullets. However, they didn't die even when hit with these, and it only worked to throw them away. "Uuggh, my hammer would be even less effective! S-Should I bring out my golem already?"
"[Heavenly Demon Arts]: {35 Demonic Steps to Heaven}!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Erdrich meanwhile, was kicking the heads of the bears and punching them away. Even when going almost all out, he had only killed a few so far. Their incredibly tough fur and bones made for tough foes even for someone like him.
Unless he transformed into his next demon form and wasted a ton of demonic energy, he wouldn't be able to overcome them so easily, even as he was very resistant to their fire.
"Hahhh… These guys are tough. I might have to begin using more Ki and Demonic Energy if things continue this way…" Erdrich said. "But we have yet to even fight the demon tribes, I can't waste my energy !"
"Blake, are they ready?!" Eric said while panicking, as his two spirits barely stopped a giant Fiery Grizzly from slashing him in two halves.
"T-This is a bit too much even for me…!" Alberta cried. "I-I am a Blacksmith and Inventor…!"
"Almost there!" I said. "Alberta, can you enchant my gun and my spear?" I asked her.
"Eh?! In the middle of battle?!" She asked.
"Just do it, please." I said. "My spirits are protecting our backs and the Fenrirs are doing a good job at defending as well."
"A-Alright! Leave it to me then!" Alberta nodded, as I quickly gave her an item I had in my inventory. "Huh? What's this?"
I handled her over the [Crescent Frozen Tear (Mythic Grade)], which I have yet to fully consume. However, it was already getting near its end of its energy, but I didn't wanted to waste it and make it disappear once I consumed all the Mana inside as MP, so I decided to use it.
"It is a special Ice Crystal, can you use it?" I asked.
"I sure can imbue it into the gun!" Alberta nodded, quickly grabbing her hammer and making it smaller, immediately beginning to use her Blacksmith Skills and her Rune Infusion powers to combine the materials together.
The Gun and then the Gluttony Spear suddenly began overflowing with a fiery auras, as she gave them the last enchantment, runes that emerged from her hammer, covering the weapon's bodies completely.
"[Rune Creation]: {Attack Runes}! {Piercing Runes}!"
In less than twenty seconds, Alberta was done, cleaning the sweat off her forehead.
"And done, here!" She quickly gave me both weapons. "I've also enchanted the spear's sharpness!"

"Yes, it is just as amazing as I imagined!"
I quickly began blasting freezing bullets at the nearby bears, freezing their bod parts and finally slowing them down one by one, giving us just enough time for the spell that the four water magicians were conjuring to finally begin!
