Mike used Phase Step and vanished, reappearing to the side just in time to avoid it.
Mike did not stop moving.
The moment he reappeared, he changed direction and ran forward. He kept his distance just enough to stay out of Leviathan's main attack range.
Leviathan tried to turn its head toward him, but its movement was slow.
The lich attacked from above, firing another wave of dark magic. At the same time, Emperor struck from the opposite side, tearing into the already damaged scales.
Leviathan roared and tried to fight back, but its attacks lacked force.
Mike saw the opening.
He rushed in and slashed at a cracked section of Leviathan's body. Black flames spread across the wound. He did not stay there and immediately jumped back.
Leviathan swung its tail, but the attack missed.
Mike repeated the process.
Attack once. Retreat. Reposition.
Each strike landed on damaged areas. Leviathan's health continued to drop, slowly but steadily.
