The group barely had time to respond.
Selthia, visible now from where she had settled at the base of the beast’s head, watched them with the attention of someone who had said everything they came to say and was now observing whether what they left behind was going to function the way they planned.
A thousand tons didn’t need to be fast to be urgent, and these were fast enough on top of it.
Ren’s spatial jump carried two people. Liora’s jump carried two more.
Hikari took the last of them, and when she landed she was visibly shaking with the effort of a triple jump across a distance equal to the full thickness of the attacking beast, a triple jump for someone whose mana was what it was without the multi-beast architecture that Ren and Liora had behind their own jumps.
She needed a moment to stand straight without support, one hand finding someone to lean on while the rest of her caught up with what she had just asked of herself.
"Retreat!" Ren shouted, and the group didn’t need it explained.
Mayo grabbed Hikari and the ones still not riding the Royal Goat onto the Celestial Cloud Bird, clearing the path with the fast efficiency of people who understood their function right now was to be out of range not being a hindrance and were executing that function without being told twice.
The fusions activated simultaneously, Ren and Liora engaging theirs while the group was still moving, and what the two combinations produced together was enough power to test what they were actually up against.
The combined ray from Ren’s Hydra-Wolverine fusion reached the beast with enough force that the results were unambiguous.
It damaged her...
Considerably, in fact; the impact was real and the mark it left was real. But it didn’t stop her, and the massive mutant beast absorbed the hit and kept coming with the indifference that emerged when something large received an impact smaller than the sum of its momentum and resistance. The losing math was visible in the continued forward motion.
Diamond, or something that resembled it closely enough to function almost the same way in combat even if it wasn’t the same thing in origin.
Because when the spirit-flame breath of Liora’s fused Bashe connected, that one almost stopped her, the damage substantial and clearly outpacing the regeneration rate in a way the Hydra-Wolverine combination alone hadn’t managed. Between the two outputs together, they could hold her.
The defense was lower than the Diamond dragon they had needed ten people to bring down, because the aura wasn’t real Diamond in the stable sense, not the Diamond of a beast that had arrived there through its own natural growth cycle.
This was something that had been pushed to that energy range through an accelerated accumulation process that hadn’t yet become dense, which meant Platinum-level attacks left marks where attacks against a true Diamond simply dissipated faster from the mana level and density difference.
