Fifth Floor: The Molten Cavern of Lava Lizardmen (19)

The lava leviathan roared, its molten body flickering wildly as it grew desperate. The fiery glow of its core pulsed erratically, signaling its strength was waning. Yet, with its back against the corner of the battlefield, the creature retaliated with a ferocity that demanded every ounce of focus from the trio.

The leviathan's tail lashed out in a wide arc, a molten whip slicing through the air. Cyrus raised his shield, the fiery impact sending him skidding backward. Sylus darted in, leaping over the molten appendage to deliver a precise strike to the creature's side. His blade shimmered with aetheric energy as it cut into one of the glowing veins, sending molten sparks flying.
