"It's not a speed based monster. While it is faster than a minotaur, it's true strength is in its durability, physical strength and its skin," Ais informed him, "Its skin makes it highly resistant to damage."
"Gotcha," Caelan cracked his neck, "Let's try this then!" he shouted, and a split moment later, gleaming blue crystal gauntlets with clawed fingers formed on his arms while similar armoured boots appeared on his feet.
He took in a deep breath, before opening his mouth wide and firing a great big large gout of flame from his mouth towards the Goliath's face.
In return, it howled, unleashing a powerful shockwave that tore through the flames and dispersed them.
But Caelan had already moved, zipping in a blur between its legs and with his clawed gauntlets clad in flame he slashed them into the back of the monsters heel, trying to tear out the skin and make it fall.
To no avail, his clawed gauntlets gave an audible screeching grind and failed to penetrate the beasts hide.
"No dice huh?" he laughed.
His grin only got wider despite his failure.
The Goliath roared once more, stepping back and raising a foot up to stop down on him, only for him to thrust one hand up, and a cloud of purple spores to erupt and shoot up like a gale of wind and enshroud the beasts face.
It stopped, stumbling back as the spores seeped into its mouth and nose and hovered around its face like a cloud.
It was stunned for a moment as it choked and Caelan thrust his other hand up, unleashing a wave of flame that shot up and impacted the cloud of purple most likely poisonous spores.
And a great explosion erupted around the beasts head.
Despite herself, Ais felt her eyes widen as the monster rex stumbled back from the explosion…and tripped.
It crashed thunderously into the ground on its back, a coughing roar escaping all the way, though its outer skin was no worse for wear at all.
Caelan was not content to give it any chance at all to regain its bearings. With a shout, he suddenly exploded forward, his speed enhanced by his flame enchantment, suddenly increasing by another notable amount as he leapt up onto the beasts broad chest and zipped up towards its head.
It lashed out blindingly, instinctively, trying to grab him, but as it did, he leapt over it again, jumping over its fingers easily and coming down towards its skull, both clawed gauntlets poised, superheated with the flames circling around his body.
And as he landed atop its head, Caelan thrust his clawed gauntlets down straight into one of its eyes and Ais watched stunned as the boy unleashed a massive wave of flame straight through both hands inside its eye and began roasting it from the inside out of its skull!
The Goliath roared and thrashed in agony as its pierced eye boiled and cooked and its brain began to follow not long later.
But, it would not be a monster rex, if it fell so easily.
It roared, unleashing a howling shock wave that shot up and slammed into the ceiling above, tearing great beg rents of debris from it, while it brought both arms up and slammed them against its face with all its strength in an attempt to crush Caelan.
He apparently saw it coming though and sprang backwards, up over its arms. She heard its skull crunch from the blow even as he flipped and angled around over it mid-air and spread his arms out, purple spores forming around one hand and flame in the other.
He thrust both down straight towards its open mouth, the flame and poisonous spores mixing together just as they entered its mouth and erupting once more into a roaring explosion.
Its roars cut off and its body thrashed for only a few split moments, before going limp.
Caelan landed on its chest, mouth filling with glittering embers of flame once more and he spat out another gout of flame enveloping the bodies upper torso and head in a wave of flame.
"Come on!" he roared himself, a savage smile on his lips as he cut it off and then began punching his fists out, unleashing blasts of flame one after another, "Let's see you survive this!" he laughed, as he pulled both fists back and then unleashed them as one, firing two great waves of flame from his fists that merged together and slammed into the corpses head like a roaring blazing tsunami.
He kept roasting the corpse with his flames for a good ten seconds, before a confused look finally appeared on his face when it didn't move and he cut off the flow of flame, the enchantment disappearing from around his body.
He panted deeply, sweat pouring down his face and stared, "…It's dead…?" he said blankly, "…But…but, what about its regeneration?"
"Goliath's don't have regeneration?" Ais offered, making her way over to the boy who stood atop the corpse of the monster rex.
Doing her level best all the while to contain her own shock.
He…had won.
As a level one, he'd completely destroyed the Goliath. It did not make sense, it was considered a level four monster, yet he'd killed it alone.
It did not make sense to be honest. Even with his abilities, all he had on the Goliath was a speed advantange.
It had height, reach, resistance to all he could do, superior durability by far, and the same for its strength.
Yet it hadn't even touched him and was powerless after he had targeted its weak points.
She could not wrap her mind around it.
…But if nothing else, this was just more confirmation, that she needed his teachings.
"…Oh…" Caelan replied and then sighed, shoulders slumping in obvious disappointment. Had he come down here challenging the Goliath thinking it could regenerate?
That was…interesting to know?
