Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System-Chapter 473: Fifth Floor: The Molten Cavern of Lava Lizardmen (14)

The leviathan let out a guttural roar, its molten body collapsing momentarily into a pool of lava. But before they could catch their breath, the magma surged upward again, reshaping itself into a more volatile and serpentine form, its obsidian spines now sharper and glowing faintly.

"This thing’s not giving up," Sylus muttered, gripping his sword tightly.

"And neither are we," Athena replied, frost magic crackling at her fingertips.

The molten leviathan lashed out with its whip-like tail, the fiery appendage streaking through the air toward Athena. She backflipped onto a jagged outcrop of hardened lava, conjuring a frost barrier mid-motion that shattered upon impact, the force sending her sliding back.

"Sylus, now!" she yelled, frost energy spiraling around her as she launched a volley of ice shards. The projectiles pelted the leviathan, some bouncing harmlessly off its obsidian spines while others hit exposed veins, cooling them momentarily and causing steam to erupt.

Sylus surged forward, weaving through the jagged terrain left by the Molten Surge trails. His boots scraped against volcanic shards, but he moved with precision, his blade glowing with fiery energy siphoned from the environment. The leviathan snapped at him with its gaping maw, molten drool sizzling as it hit the ground, but Sylus leaped, vaulting over the creature’s head. He twisted mid-air, slamming his sword downward into the beast’s armored skull. The obsidian plate cracked, sending splinters of volcanic glass flying.

The leviathan roared, thrashing violently. Its tail whipped toward Sylus, but Cyrus intervened, his aetheric shield manifesting just in time to absorb the impact. The shield buckled but held, giving Sylus enough time to disengage and roll to safety.

Cyrus retaliated with a barrage of conjured blades, their glowing forms streaking through the air like meteors. The weapons struck the leviathan’s molten body, some embedding themselves in the softer, glowing sections. With a flick of his hand, Cyrus detonated the blades, the resulting explosions staggering the creature and forcing it back against the volcanic wall.

"Push it! Don’t let it recover!" Cyrus shouted, sweat pouring down his face as he conjured another wave of aetheric energy.

Athena nodded, her frost magic intensifying. She slammed her staff into the ground, sending an icy shockwave rippling outward. The frost spread rapidly, encasing the leviathan’s lower half in a thick layer of ice. Steam hissed as the intense heat began to melt it, but the creature’s movements were slowed, its massive tail sluggish as it tried to shatter the frozen bind.

Seizing the opportunity, Sylus dashed forward, his sword trailing energy as he aimed for the creature’s glowing core. He ducked under a sudden swipe of its claw, his boots skidding on the molten surface as he twisted his body to avoid the jagged spines along its side. With a grunt, he drove his blade into the beast’s chest, the impact sending a shockwave through the molten form.

The leviathan bellowed, its fiery eyes narrowing. It reared back, its head glowing with intense heat as it prepared to unleash a fiery breath.

"Not today!" Athena shouted, conjuring a massive ice wall between them. The dragon’s breath collided with the barrier, steam exploding outward in a violent hiss. The wall cracked but held just long enough for Sylus and Cyrus to reposition.

Cyrus raised both hands, conjuring a massive spear of light. He hurled it with a roar, the weapon piercing through the leviathan’s wing and pinning it momentarily against the volcanic rock. The beast struggled, its molten body twisting as it tried to free itself, but the trio pressed their advantage.

Sylus climbed the creature’s side, using the jagged spines as footholds. Each step burned through his boots, but he pushed on, slamming his sword repeatedly into the beast’s softer, molten sections. Sparks and molten rock erupted with every strike, weakening the creature further.

Meanwhile, Athena channeled her frost magic into a spiraling vortex, launching it toward the leviathan’s head. The cold energy struck true, encasing the creature’s maw in frost and muffling its next roar.

Cyrus flanked the leviathan, his aetheric sword elongating into a whip-like blade. He lashed out, wrapping the glowing weapon around the beast’s tail and yanking it downward. The sudden force disrupted the leviathan’s balance, sending it crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact.

"We’ve got it cornered!" Sylus yelled, jumping from the creature’s back just as it thrashed violently.

The molten leviathan slithered backward, its glowing eyes burning with fury as it pressed itself against the volcanic wall. The trio stood their ground, their weapons and magic glowing with energy as they prepared for its next move. The battlefield was a chaotic mix of molten rock, frost-steamed terrain, and glowing shards of aether, the trio’s determination unwavering as they prepared to strike again.

The leviathan’s molten body quivered as it pressed itself deeper into the volcanic wall, its glowing eyes narrowing before it surged forward in a blur of liquid flame. The ground beneath the trio rippled with heat as the beast activated Molten Surge, leaving molten trails that hardened into jagged terrain.

Athena darted to the left, her frost barrier snapping into place just in time to deflect a lash of the leviathan’s fiery tail. The barrier cracked, shards of ice flying into the superheated air as she conjured a spiral of freezing winds, directing it toward the molten paths. The winds cooled the molten rock into brittle obsidian, giving the trio safer footing.

Cyrus followed Athena’s lead, leaping to the nearest elevated obsidian shard. His aetheric shield shimmered as he deflected a barrage of Obsidian Shards fired from the leviathan’s molten veins. The black, razor-sharp projectiles ricocheted off the glowing barrier, shattering against the volcanic terrain. With a roar, Cyrus hurled an aetheric lance directly into the leviathan’s side. The lance exploded on impact, sending streams of molten rock cascading like liquid fireworks.

Sylus used the chaos to his advantage, weaving through the molten debris with agility. As the leviathan’s molten tail lashed toward him in a fiery arc, he planted his sword into the ground and vaulted over the attack. Landing in a roll, he surged forward, slicing his blade across the beast’s glowing body. Each strike created a burst of steam and sparks, the intense heat forcing him to retreat after every two or three hits.

The leviathan reared back, its obsidian spines glowing brighter. It spun its massive serpentine body, unleashing a Lava Cyclone. The fiery vortex began to pull in debris and molten rock, the pressure growing as the air itself seemed to ignite.

"Hold on!" Cyrus shouted, slamming his sword into the ground and conjuring a barrier of light around himself and Athena. The cyclone slammed into the barrier, cracks forming as molten debris pelted the shield like meteors. Athena crouched behind it, channeling her magic into the cracks, reinforcing them with ice energy that hissed as it clashed with the heat.

Sylus, caught outside the barrier, dove beneath an outcropping of hardened obsidian. As the cyclone pulled at him, he jammed his sword into the ground and held on with both hands, his muscles straining against the force. When the vortex subsided, he surged forward, his sword glowing with energy as he aimed for the leviathan’s molten core.

The leviathan anticipated his move, its head whipping toward him with molten jaws wide. Sylus twisted mid-strike, planting his feet on the beast’s neck and springing upward, narrowly avoiding being consumed. While airborne, he hurled an explosive dagger into the leviathan’s back, the resulting detonation staggering it.

Cyrus took advantage of the distraction, charging in with his aetheric blade glowing like a sunbeam. He slashed at the molten veins along the leviathan’s side, each strike causing bursts of steam and lava. The creature roared, its tail whipping toward him, but he ducked, sliding beneath the fiery appendage and countering with a sweeping strike that left a glowing scar along its molten surface.

Athena, standing atop an elevated obsidian platform, raised her staff high. Frost energy spiraled around her as she conjured a massive ice spear. With a grunt, she hurled the spear at the leviathan’s head, the projectile piercing through the molten heat and embedding itself in the beast’s fiery crown. The ice hissed and cracked, spreading frost along its head and momentarily dulling its molten glow.

The leviathan retaliated, its molten body collapsing inward momentarily before surging outward in a fiery explosion. The trio scattered, Sylus tumbling behind a hardened rock formation while Cyrus and Athena retreated to higher ground.

"It’s losing control!" Athena shouted, conjuring another frost wave to cool the battlefield. The frost collided with the heat, creating a dense steam that obscured vision.

Cyrus used the steam to his advantage, channeling his energy into creating a string of brilliant platforms above the battlefield. He leaped between them, gaining height before conjuring a massive aetheric hammer. With a battle cry, he descended toward the leviathan, slamming the hammer into its molten body. The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the ground, forcing the leviathan back against the volcanic wall once more.
