♦♦♦
The forest trembled with the roar of the demonic bear.
"Everyone! Now! We must kill it so that everyone in the village can satisfy their hunger." William ordered, "Use your new powers—!"
Their transformation was complete.
Gur, now a massive berserker demon, raised his serrated cleaver and with a loud roar he rushed towards the bear, swinging his cleaver in a wide circle and striking. The blade struck the bear's side, black fire bursting from the wound. The bear roared in pain.
[Demonic Bear's HP: 65%.]
"TCh! Its fur is too thick."
The bear swiped at Gurr, but the Berserker Demon ducked under the blow, countering with another strike. The cleaver bit deep.
Limir moved like a shadow, his daggers flashing as he darted around the bear. He activated his skill, [Phantom Strike], his form blurring as he delivered a series of rapid attacks. The bear snarled, trying to swat him away, but Limir was too fast. He teleported behind the beast with [Shadow Blink], driving his daggers into its back.
"You are now my prey!"
Sira, perched on a nearby tree branch, took aim. Her bow was ablaze with dark energy as she activated [Predator's Focus].
Her arrow struck the bear in the eye.
The creature roared, shaking its head violently.
The bear's vision was impaired.
"Good shot!"
Nara, standing at a safe distance, raised her staff. Dark energy swirled around her as she chanted.
Rotbloom erupted from the ground beneath the bear, toxic fungi spreading across its legs. The bear snarled, its movements slowing as the fungi sapped its strength.
[Demonic Bear's HP: 35%.]
"My King, I can't hold it for long!"
William prepared for the final attack, his hand gripping Garth's sword tightly. He could feel the dark energy within him building, a storm waiting to be unleashed. He activated [Hell Fire], the blade erupting in black flames.
"Tommy, with me!" William shouted.
The Twin-Headed Hellhound bounded to his side, flames flickering between his teeth.
Together, they charged at the bear. Tommy leapt at the beast, his jaws clamping down on its leg. The bear roared, trying to shake him off, but Tommy held on, his Infernal Bite igniting the wound.
William saw his opening. He leapt into the air, Garth's blade raised high.
"Die! You Teddy!"
With a roar, he brought the weapon down, the black flames engulfing the bear's head. The creature let out a deafening scream, its body convulsing as the flames consumed it.
[Demonic Bear's HP: 15%.]
The bear, despite its injuries, was still standing.
Tch
Its rage only seemed to grow, its strength increasing with every wound. It was their racial skill that led to this being called the Demonic Bear.
Damn! It's not dying yet
Then a system notification flashed before his eyes.
[Skill Synthesis Available: Combine Hell Fire and Soul Bond to create Infernal Surge.
Infernal Surge: Unleashes a devastating wave of dark fire that engulfs all enemies in range. Allies within the radius gain a temporary boost to their stats.]
William didn't hesitate. "Do it!"
The system responded instantly.
The system responded instantly. William felt a surge of energy as Infernal Surge activated. The ground around him erupted in black flames, the fire spreading rapidly. The bear was caught in the inferno, its roars turning to screams of agony.
GRROOOAAAAARRRRGGHHH!!
But the flames didn't harm William's allies. Instead, they felt a surge of power.
