the first floor(5)

The battlefield was in chaos. The overwhelming heat from the Djinns' flames distorted the air, creating an almost suffocating atmosphere. Amelia, Mia, and Luna stood at the forefront of the group, their gazes fixed on three high-ranked Djinns who had separated from the pack.

Each Djinn was massive, easily towering over the girls. Their bodies radiated an intense orange glow, and their molten weapons looked as though they could cut through steel with ease. The first Djinn wielded a colossal axe, its edges dripping with liquid fire. The second carried a curved scimitar that shimmered with heat, and the third held a spear that blazed like a miniature sun.

Amelia's light magic flared around her, forming a radiant barrier.

Amelia: "These three are ours. Mia, Luna, stay close. We'll take them together."

Mia: "Got it. Let's show them what water magic can do."

Luna: "Don't get cocky, Mia. These aren't the usual monsters we've faced."

Amelia smirked, her golden eyes gleaming.

Amelia: "Focus. They're strong, but so are we."

The Djinn with the axe roared and charged forward, the ground trembling beneath its massive steps. It raised its weapon high, the fiery edge leaving trails of molten sparks as it descended toward Amelia.

With a flick of her wrist, Amelia conjured a shield of pure light. The axe struck the shield with an earth-shattering impact, but the barrier held firm.

Amelia: "Now, while it's exposed!"

Mia stepped forward, summoning a spiraling torrent of water that surged toward the Djinn. The water hissed and steamed as it collided with the fiery creature, extinguishing parts of its flames. Luna followed up by shaping the water into icy spikes and launching them at the Djinn, each shard embedding itself into its glowing body.

The Djinn stumbled, its flames dimming slightly, but it let out a furious roar and reignited its blazing form.

Luna: "They're regenerating! We need to hit harder!"

The scimitar-wielding Djinn darted toward Luna with alarming speed. Its fiery blade slashed through the air, sending arcs of molten energy in her direction. Luna dodged nimbly, retaliating with a wave of water that crashed into the Djinn, forcing it to retreat.

Luna: "Mia, keep the axe one distracted. I'll handle this one!"

Mia nodded, redirecting her focus to the colossal axe-wielding Djinn. She conjured a massive wave, crashing it against the creature and dousing its flames once more.

Meanwhile, the spear-wielding Djinn advanced on Amelia, thrusting its weapon with precision. Each strike left a searing trail of fire in its wake.

Amelia danced around the attacks with grace, her light magic flaring brighter as she countered with beams of radiant energy. One beam struck the Djinn square in the chest, causing it to stagger back.

Amelia: "Mia, Luna, we need to work together to take them down faster!"

A Coordinated Assault

Mia and Luna exchanged a quick nod, their magic flaring in unison.

Mia: "Luna, let's combine our attacks!"

Luna summoned a massive serpent of water, its translucent form shimmering in the fiery light. The serpent coiled and struck at the axe-wielding Djinn, wrapping around it and dousing its flames.

Mia reinforced the serpent with a freezing spell, encasing the Djinn in a layer of ice. The creature roared in frustration, its movements slowed by the icy prison.

Mia: "It's trapped! Hit it now!"

Luna unleashed a barrage of water spikes, each one piercing through the ice and into the Djinn's core. The creature let out a final, guttural roar before collapsing, its flames extinguished.

Amelia faced the spear-wielding Djinn, her light magic blazing like a star. The creature lunged at her, its spear burning hotter with each strike. Amelia sidestepped gracefully, countering with concentrated beams of light that struck the Djinn with pinpoint accuracy.

The Djinn growled, raising its spear to summon a rain of molten fire. Amelia reacted quickly, creating a dome of light that shielded her from the fiery onslaught.

Amelia: "You're persistent. But I'm not done yet."

She focused her magic, forming a radiant sword of light in her hand. With a swift slash, she cut through the Djinn's spear, the weapon shattering into molten fragments.

The Djinn stumbled back, its flames dimming as it tried to reform its weapon. Amelia didn't give it the chance. She raised her hand, summoning a brilliant pillar of light that engulfed the Djinn, reducing it to ashes.

The scimitar-wielding Djinn was proving to be the most agile. It darted around Luna's attacks, its fiery blade cutting through her water spells.

Luna: "This one's tricky. Mia, I need backup!"

Mia joined Luna, her water magic surging forward in a powerful wave. The Djinn leaped over the wave, but Luna was ready. She froze the water mid-air, creating a barrier of ice that trapped the Djinn in mid-leap.

Mia: "Nice one! Let's finish it!"

The two girls combined their magic, creating a massive shard of ice infused with water energy. With a synchronized effort, they launched the shard at the Djinn, piercing its core.

The Djinn let out a final, piercing scream as its flames extinguished. Its body crumbled into a heap of glowing embers, leaving only silence in its wake.

The battlefield was littered with the remains of the defeated Djinns. Steam rose from the ground where water magic had clashed with fire, and the air was heavy with the scent of charred earth.

Mia collapsed to her knees, panting heavily.

Mia: "That... was intense."

Luna leaned on her knees, trying to catch her breath.

Luna: "We actually did it. I wasn't sure we could handle three of them."

Amelia walked over, her radiant aura fading as she wiped sweat from her brow.

Amelia: "Good work, both of you. That was teamwork at its finest."

The three girls shared a moment of camaraderie, their exhaustion outweighed by their sense of accomplishment.

Mia: "Think the others are done with their fights yet?"

Amelia: "Let's hope so. I'm not sure I have another battle like that in me."

As they regrouped, the sounds of battle still echoed in the distance. They knew the fight wasn't over yet—more challenges awaited—but for now, they had earned this victory.
