Fifth Floor: The Molten Cavern of Lava Lizardmen (13)

Athena conjured a wall of water to cool the terrain ahead of her, giving her a safe path to move. She channeled her magic into her staff, launching a torrent of freezing energy at the leviathan's midsection. The attack solidified part of its body, but it quickly heated back up, melting the ice.

Cyrus leaped onto one of the hardened volcanic formations, using it as a perch to launch a spear of light directly at the leviathan's head. The attack struck true, causing the beast to rear back, its molten form rippling in frustration.

The leviathan roared, parts of its body cooling rapidly before launching a barrage of obsidian shards at the trio. The shards whistled through the air, deadly and precise.

Sylus crouched low, deflecting one shard with a well-timed strike of his blade. He immediately sidestepped, twisting his body to avoid another shard aimed at his chest. Cyrus raised an aetheric shield, the shards ricocheting off in a spray of sparks.
