The air crackled with tension as Isaac rushed the Tyrants blood serpents.
He clutching [Crystal Ice], the shimmering spear that hummed with frozen energy.
The two Blood Serpents slithered forward.
They were thick viscous red masses that shimmered like molten lava.
They moved with terrifying agility.
Each half a human height but as thick as a man's arm.
Their acidic body's leaving ominous burns from their bodies.
One blood serpent lunged.
Whipping around to strike at Isaac with a twist.
Isaac sidestepped swiftly.
[Crystal Ice] flashing through the air piercing the serpent's crimson flesh.
Instantly icy tendrils spread from the contact point.
It quickly began crystallizing the blood causing the serpent to hiss in pain as its body froze and stiffened.
The second serpent came and spat a glob of corrosive acid toward Isaac.
The droplet hissed as it hissed through the air burning a trail.
Isaac dove to the side.
The spear raising in a defensive stance just as the serpent coiled back ready to strike again.
Isaac seized the moment thrusting [Crystal Ice] forward.
He aimed precisely at the second serpent's exposed underbelly.
The spear penetrated the crimson mass.
Then icy shards immediately spread outward.
It was crystallizing the serpent's liquid body.
The creature writhed uncontrollably its body turning brittle and frozen solid from tip to tail.
But the fight wasn't over.
The first serpent that was partially crystallized thrashed wildly.
It released a final spray of acid in desperation.
Isaac yanked his spear free and leaped backwards.
The acid stream narrowly missed him sizzling against the cold crystals on the ground.
Isaac charged forward.
He thrust downward piercing the remaining serpent's thick body.
As he pulled the spear out.
The residual cold extended into the creature.
This caused it to freeze from the inside out.
It then solidified into a grotesque sculpture of crimson ice.
Turning his attention to the remaining squad Isaac saw that each of them were finishing their battles.
He then spotted Master Jack racing towards Wake of Ruin.
"Hold the line I and Master Jack will support Wake of Ruin. After your done help with long range backup."
Isaac gave an order before he began following Master Jacks lead.
The air shimmered with a sickly crimson glow as Cor stepped into the the Nightmare Creatures range.
His black blade shimmering under the pale light.
Suddenly from the viscous red mists the Father of Wounds loomed into view.
It's was massive and oozing.
It's two piercing silver eyes scanning him with a cold, mad rage.
Without hesitation Cor spread his arms wide.
His form flickering as he transformed into a swirling flock of crows.
The dark flurry surged forward darting between the monstrous entity's massive body.
He was seeking weak spots in its acidic flesh.
The Father of Wounds roared screeched.
Then a guttural slithering sound echoed.
Its blood liquid morphed into jagged spires and tendrils.
They stabbed toward the fleeing crows.
One crow was caught dissolving instantly into an ash-gray cloud.
Yet the others pressed on distracting the Tyrant.
With a sudden burst of motion Cor reassembled from the shadows in front of the creature.
His black blade glowing with a deadly aura.
He lunged aiming for the exposed neck.
The Father to raise a thick limb.
The skin bubbling and sizzling as corrosive blood dripped onto the ground.
The beast's silver eyes locked onto Cor.
Their gaze cold and unyielding.
It spat a glob of acid.
Cor narrowly dodged as the heat singe the air beside him.
Reacting swiftly Cor swung his blade.
It sliced through the air.
Then a segment of the creature's limb dissolved into smoke and steam.
The enraged the Father of Wounds manipulated a stream of its acidic blood into a massive barbed whip.
It then lashed out at Cor.
He dodged left.
The whip sliced the ground where he had just stood.
Cor was about to counter by unleashing a storm of crows once more, their sharp beaks would peck relentlessly at the creature.
But then a voice reached his ear.
"FiLthY HuMan".
Cor eyes widened as he realized the voice came form the Father.
"You can speak".
It was not unheard off for Nightmare Creature to be able to speak.
It was just that it was rare.
And above all….
Nightmare Creature who could communicate were the most dangerous.
"DiD yOu thInk bY uSinG tHe WhitE AbYsSes fLaMe yoU CouLd rEwrIte YouR dOOm".
Cor looked at the creature in confusion.
"IF tHe crEatUrEs oF DeSirE coUld NoT dEfEat uS whAt cHaNce Do yOu CreAtuRes OF LiGhT haVe".
Cor could not understand the ramblings of the creature but he made sure to remember it just in case.
He would have to discuss this with the scientists
As Cor solidified this fact in his mind a scream pulled his attention.
The Father howled as its own blood began to freeze.
While Cor was distracted Master Isaac and Master Jack took that moment to attack.
Master Jack used his Aspect to distort the creature's perception while Master Isaac plunged his spear into its body.
A shudder ran through the Father of Wounds as its acid blood crystallized.
It's flesh becoming red ice.
Cor rushed towards the freezing Father of Wounds and delivered a strike of the creatures frozen body.
With a deafening crack the Father of Wounds body was cut in half.
It's mid section split into a mass of shards.
As the creature took its dying breath Cor could have sworn he heard it say something.
Cor then repeated it to himself.
"Primordial Human".
