The dreadfiend tyrant’s roar echoed like thunder, shaking the very air around them, and its massive form loomed closer, each step causing the ground to tremble. The twin axes in its hands glowed with an eerie, runic light, promising destruction to anyone foolish enough to stand in its path. "System, did you record that skill?" Nox muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible over the noise of the battlefield. For a brief moment, the world seemed to slow. The system’s voice, cold and mechanical, echoed in his mind. [Skill Recorded!] Nox’s smirk widened when he heard the system’s mechanical words. Some weeks back, he had instructed the system to record any powerful skills his opponents used so that he could select from the list. Nox pushed the thought to the back of his head and focused on the current situation. "Kali, Theo, Luthier! On my mark, hit it with everything you’ve got!" Nox shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. Kali, his berserker instincts already flaring, let out a guttural roar. His muscles bulged, veins popping as his rage surged. Theo’s jewel-encrusted sword hummed with energy, the blade glowing brighter with each passing second. Luthier, standing slightly behind them, raised his hand, and a faint golden aura enveloped the group, bolstering their defenses. At that moment, the dreadfiend tyrant swung its axes in a wide arc, the runes on the blades flaring to life. The air itself seemed to split as the axes came crashing down. Nox didn’t flinch. "Now!" he shouted. Kali lunged forward, his massive warhammer slamming into the beast’s left leg with a sickening crunch. *BANG!* Theo’s sword flashed, a blinding arc of light slicing through the air and striking the tyrant’s right arm. Similarly, Luthier’s golden aura flared, and a barrier of energy materialized just in time to deflect the brunt of the axe’s impact. *BOOM!* "We have to finish this fight in 10 minutes!" Nox shouted, thinking back to the beast’s dreadful skill, *Rewind!* *Rewind* would come out of cooldown in 10 minutes. If they couldn’t get rid of the monster before then, all of their efforts would be wasted. Nox snapped out of his thoughts and darted forward, his movements almost too fast to follow. This was because he had activated *Divine Velocity*. As he drew closer, a solid blood spear with a faint, otherworldly light at the tip formed in his hands. Nox aimed for the runes on the tyrant’s axes. The blood spear struck true, piercing one of the runes on the beast’s left axe. For a moment, nothing happened. Then, the rune began to crack, its light flickering erratically. The dreadfiend tyrant roared in confusion, its massive form faltering as the rune’s energy spiraled out of control. "Fall back!" Nox shouted, already retreating. The group didn’t need to be told twice. They scrambled away just as the rune exploded, a blinding burst of energy engulfing the tyrant’s left arm. The beast howled in agony, its axe falling from its grasp as its arm was reduced to a smoldering stump. But the dreadfiend tyrant wasn’t finished. Its remaining axe glowed brighter, the runes on its blade pulsing with a malevolent light. It swung wildly, its movements more erratic but no less deadly. "Zara, now!" Nox called out. Zara, who had been waiting in the rear, raised her hands. The air around her grew cold, frost forming on the ground as she summoned her ice magic. With a sharp motion, she sent a wave of freezing energy toward the tyrant. The beast’s movements slowed, its remaining axe encased in a thick layer of ice. "Glen, Nyx, Blake! Hit it while it’s vulnerable!" Nox commanded. Glen darted forward, her sword aimed for the tyrant’s eyes. Nyx followed, her holy barriers forming a protective shield around her. Blake charged in, his daggers flashing as he aimed for the beast’s exposed flank. The dreadfiend tyrant roared, its remaining axe shattering the ice encasing it. But it was too late. The combined assault had taken its toll. The beast staggered, its body swaying unsteadily. Seeing the beast in its weakened state, Kali, Theo, and Luthier didn’t hesitate as they charged in once more. Kali’s warhammer struck the tyrant’s chest, caving in its armor. Theo’s sword sliced through its stomach a hundred times in a couple of seconds. *Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!* The beast’s eyes flashed with desperation as the attacks rained down on it. It tried to fight back, but compared to Theo, the beast was no different from a turtle. "It’s powerful, but it’s not a great fighter," Nox deduced. The dreadfiend tyrant was on its last legs, its massive body swaying as it struggled to stay upright. Its remaining axe hung limply in its hand, the runes on the blade flickering weakly. *ROOOAR!* The beast let out a guttural growl, its eyes burning with defiance. Nox stepped forward, his blood spear dissipating into mist as he drew a sleek, obsidian dagger from thin air. It was *Oblivion Edge*. By instinct, Kali, Theo, and Luthier stepped back, but they stood ready, their weapons still drawn in case the tyrant made one last desperate move. Zara’s ice magic lingered in the air, the ground beneath the tyrant still frozen solid. Glen, Nyx, and Blake hovered nearby, their eyes locked on Nox as he closed the distance. This… this was the moment of truth! The dreadfiend tyrant roared in an attempt to intimidate, but Nox didn’t flinch. As he neared the beast, he activated *Divine Velocity* once more, his body blurring as he shot forward like a bolt of lightning. The tyrant swung its remaining axe in a sluggish arc, but Nox was already behind it, his dagger gleaming in the dim light. With a fluid motion, Nox leaped onto the tyrant’s back, using its massive frame as a springboard. He flipped through the air, his movements almost poetic in their grace, and landed on the beast’s shoulders. The tyrant thrashed, trying to dislodge him, but Nox’s grip was powerful. He raised his dagger high, the blade catching the light as it descended in a swift, decisive strike. *Ssshhhhhh!* The dagger plunged into the tyrant’s skull with a sickening crunch. *Oblivion Edge* was also at the legendary rank, so it was almost effortless to penetrate the hide of another legendary-tier beast. *ROOOOOAR!* The beast let out a final, ear-splitting roar before its body went rigid. Nox twisted the blade, ensuring the kill, and the tyrant’s massive form crumpled to the ground with a thunderous crash. This time, he didn’t jump off the beast; he waited until he saw the kill confirmation before sighing in relief. *[Ding! You’ve slain Dreadfiend Tyrant!]* *[Ding! You’ve leveled up!]* *[Ding!
