Erend and ar exchanged a brief nce, both silently agreeing that it was time to give everything they had. There was no room for holding back anymore.
Erend''s wings red wide and crackling with arcs of lightning as he shot into the air. A streak of electric power slicing through the sky. ar stil staying on the ground, crouched low and pressed his hands into the sand again, his brow furrowing as the earth beneath him began to tremble.
The rock giant that now had be faster and more agile without its heavy outer shell, roared as it barreled forward with terrifying speed. Its molten eyes burning at them. It lunged at Erend with a massive fist, attempting to swat him from the sky.
Erend dodged with a sharp roll in midair, narrowly avoiding the giant''s swipe. Lightning danced around him making his body glowing with energy.
He retaliated quickly. Gathering a crackling sphere of thunderous power in his hands before hurling it down at the giant. It was a powerful attack that using a lot of his MP.
BOOM!
The bolt of lightning struck the creature''s shoulder, sending a shockwave of lightning rippling through its stone and crystal body. The jagged rocks and crystals shattered upon impact but the giant barely faltered. It let out a deep rumbling growl, turning its molten gaze toward Erend. It now be even more enraged.
On the ground, ar acted swiftly. The sand around him twisted and surged once more, forming into thick spears that gleamed under the desert sun. With a sharp motion of his hand he sent the sand spears hurtling toward the giant from below. The attack had been effective before and he will try do it again, this time with even more power.
The spears flew and pierced the air, aimed directly at the cracks in the creature''s stone legs.
CRACK!
The spears impacted the giant''s legs with powerful force, causing chunks of rock to crumble away. The creature stumbled slightly but quickly regained its bnce. Its agility shocking both of them.
Without warning, suddenly the giant leapt into the air. A feat that seemed impossible given its size, and reached for Erend mid-flight.
"Whoa, shit!" Erend cursed as the giant''s massive hand came dangerously close to grabbing him.
He barely managed to dodge, the sheer force of the creature''s jump creating gusts of wind that knocked him off bnce.
The giantnded heavily on the ground again a momentter, shaking the entire battlefield with a quake that sent ripples through the sand. It didn''t waste a moment, immediately swinging its arm at ar who was still on the ground.
ar jumped back, his wings ring as he took to the air, narrowly avoiding the crushing blow. The ground where he had stood exploded in a cloud of dust and debris as the giant''s fist connected with it.
Erend took the opportunity to attack again, lightning sparking around his body as he darted forward with blinding speed. He channeled a powerful surge of electricity into his fists, aiming for the giant''s exposed back.
Erend mming his fists into the creature''s back with a resoundingBOOM!
The impact sent arcs of electricity coursing through the giant''s body, the cracks in its rocky exterior glowing with molten energy. Yet the creature endured, its sheer resilience forcing Erend to back off.
Meanwhile, ar hadnded on the ground and immediately summoned more sand spears. This time, instead of sending them directly at the giant, he spread them out in a wide circle around the creature. With a flick of his wrist, he made the spears shoot inward, converging on the giant from all sides.
The sand spears mmed into the creature''s legs and torso, shattering more of its rock and crystal armor. The giant staggered, letting out a deafening roar of frustration. It swung its arm wildly, catching ar off guard with its speed.
ar was knocked back, grunting as he tumbled through the sand. He quickly got back to his feet, shaking off the pain. At this point, ar also suffered a lot of cracks around his body.
"This thing just doesn''t die!" he muttered, his eyes narrowing.
The rock giant now heavily damaged but still fighting fiercely. It turned its attention back to Erend. It leapt once again, this time managing to swipe at him with a massive arm.
Erend was hit and the force of the blow sending him spiraling through the air, just like a few moments before. He crashed into the sand, his body aching from the impact.
"Damn it!" he cursed, pulling himself up. His Dragon Scales were cracked even further, but he wasn''t defeated yet.
"We need to work together!" Erend called out to ar, who was already preparing another attack. "Hit it hard while I distract it!"
ar nodded, summoning another volley of sand spears. This time, he poured even more energy into them, their tips gleaming with an almost metallic sheen.
Erend took to the air again, lightning crackling around him as he circled the giant. The creature followed his movements, its molten eyes locked onto him, ignoring ar for the moment.
"Now!" Erend shouted.
ar thrust his hands forward, sending the enhanced sand spears hurtling toward the giant''s legs. They struck with brutal force, piercing through the cracks and destabilizing the creature''s stance.
The giant roared in pain, its movements bing sluggish as its legs crumbled beneath it. Erend seized the opportunity, summoning a massive bolt of lightning.
With a loud scream, he hurled the bolt directly at the giant''s head. The lightning struck with a blinding sh, splitting the air with a deafening crack. The energy coursed through the giant''s body, finally overwhelming it.
The creature let out onest, earth-shaking roar before its massive frame began to crumble. The ground trembled as the rock giant copsed, its body disintegrating into piles of stone and dust.

Erend nodded. "Yeah… but we did it."
