Online Game: Starting With SSS-Ranked Summons

Arthur watched the Winter Beast's attack patterns, waiting for the moment when the creature gathered mana for another of his continuous assaults. The preparation phase would provide the brief vulnerability window they needed.

There, the Winter Beast began channelling energy for what appeared to be his most devastating area-of-effect attack yet.

"Now!" Arthur commanded.

Immediately, multiple stunning effects struck the Winter Beast simultaneously. Arthur's Shadow Bind activated, causing the creature's own shadow to rise like dark tentacles that wrapped around his massive limbs and held him in place.

Aether's Space Lock landed perfectly, crystallising reality around the Winter Beast's position and preventing any form of movement or escape.

The Cackle Queen's Nightmare assault struck his consciousness with psychological force enhanced by his reduced mental defences, flooding his mind with paralysing visions.

Three stunning abilities activated in perfect coordination, immobilising the Winter Beast for what might be their only chance at decisive victory.

Arthur and Aether teleported immediately, appearing at optimal attack positions before their opponent could recover. Arthur's Living Shadow split away from him and materialized with its own epic-rank dagger, ready to contribute to their final assault.

Arthur raised his Chaos Katana. Aether prepared his most devastating attack, Singularity Collapse. The shadow readied its daggers and epic-rank combat skill.

The Winter Beast, caught completely off-guard by the triple stunning effect, was unable to mount any defensive response. The combination of physical binding, spatial immobilisation, and psychological disruption had overwhelmed even his legendary resistance capabilities.

He couldn't even understand what had happened—one moment he had been preparing a devastating attack, the next he was completely helpless as three different enemies positioned themselves for coordinated assault.

Arthur's katana descended with every ounce of enhanced strength he possessed. Aether's Singularity Collapse began warping reality around the Winter Beast's torso. The shadow's daggers sought vital points with precision.

All three attacks landed simultaneously on a target whose defensive capabilities had been reduced by thirty percent and who was completely unable to defend himself.

The Winter Beast's roar of pain and shock echoed through his own domain as wounds accumulated.

— <Singularity Collapse>

<Rank: Mythical>

<Active>

Description:

The Void Dragon creates a miniature gravitational singularity at a targeted location within 50 meters, pulling everything toward it for 5 seconds. Enemies caught within 5 meters of the center take massive crushing damage and are stunned for 2 seconds. Those within 100 meters suffer a 60% movement speed reduction and take continuous damage.

Cooldown: 5 Minutes.

The Singularity Collapse activated with devastating force, that usually accompanied it. A miniature gravitational singularity materialised at the exact centre of where the Winter Beast stood, its invisible pull immediately warping reality around the targeted location.

Everything within fifty meters began accelerating toward the gravitational anomaly with irresistible force. The Winter Beast's massive form, already immobilised by their coordinated stunning attacks, found itself pulled inexorably toward the crushing centre of gravity that operated according to physics borrowed from collapsing stars.

The Winter Beast caught within five meters of the singularity's epicentre experienced massive crushing damage as his legendary constitution was tested against forces that could compress mountains into pebbles. His roar of agony was cut short as the gravitational pressure stunned him completely, rendering him helpless for the critical two seconds that followed.

Even Arthur, positioned at safe distances to avoid being caught in the gravitational field, could feel the singularity's influence and speed reduction, but the damage was negligible compared to what the Winter Beast was experiencing at ground zero.

The space shield around Arthur also helped avoid the continuous damage.

Arthur, who had positioned himself far enough away to avoid the worst effects, watched as the singularity exploded with forces that bend light itself around the point of impact. The confined dome amplified the attack's effectiveness, creating a pressure cooker effect that intensified the gravitational crushing beyond anything normal.

BOOM!

After the explosion, they moved immediately, recognising that they had exactly two seconds while the Winter Beast remained stunned to inflict as much damage as possible. This was their window, perhaps their only opportunity to deliver wounds severe enough to determine the battle's outcome.

Appearing before the helpless Winter Beast through coordinated teleportation, Arthur and Aether began their assault with no mercy. They had discussed this exact scenario through their mental connection, targeting the most vulnerable and crucial areas to maximise damage within their limited timeframe.

Arthur's Chaos Katana struck true, piercing through the Winter Beast's left eye with pseudo-legendary force that liquefied the organ instantly. Aether's claws, enhanced by spatial manipulation that made them sharper than any conventional weapon, destroyed the creature's right eye.

Both creatures were now working on the Winter Beast's neck, their attacks coordinated to sever vital arteries and deal as much damage as possible. The neck was arguably one of the weakest parts of the Winter Beast, and they took advantage of that.

Arthur's blade carved through legendary hide and muscle, while Aether's dimensional claws removed chunks of flesh with each strike.

The two seconds of stunning passed, but in that brief window, the Winter Beast had been reduced from legendary Domain Wielder to a creature on death's doorstep. His neck was half-severed, spurting arterial blood that created crimson pools on the ice beneath him. Both eyes were completely destroyed, leaving empty sockets that wept fluid and blood.

The Winter Beast's roar of pain, anger, and pure hatred echoed through his domain with a tone that would have sent fear through anyone who heard it outside. His body, which had never experienced such devastating injury, was consumed by rage that transcended rational thought.

Despite his critical injuries, the Winter Beast's legendary constitution kept him alive and fighting. His aura immediately intensified beyond anything they had witnessed before, and the entire domain began shifting in response to his escalating fury.

The Winter Beast froze his injuries immediately, stopping the blood from flowing.

He no longer wanted to hold back even the slightest fraction of his power. Half-dead and blind, driven by pain and hatred that consumed all reasoning, he was going to kill them or die in the attempt.
