It turned out that Lux's intuition had been right.
As she withdrew her hand, distinct elemental ripples appeared inside the monster. Even without sensing the elements, she could see the light element rippling out from its body. It seemed that although her strike had severed its neck, the monster had also absorbed a considerable amount of the light element from her sword.
As a result, the twisted giant beast's body—which looked like twisted flesh—had started to glitter faintly.
Lux had never seen a monster like this before.
Imagine attacking someone with Elemental Magic. They take some damage, but also absorb the element you used in the process. The idea that "getting hit lets you leech energy" seemed wrong no matter how she looked at it.
And if this monster really could absorb elements, did that mean that if the fight continued, it would gradually turn into a light-element creature, rendering Lux's spells completely ineffective?
In theory, Lux could destroy it before it finished transforming into a light-element creature. But considering its enormous size and the fact that it could still move freely even after its body had been severed...
Lux had no doubt that by the time she found a way to completely disable it, it would already have developed a specific resistance to light-element magic!
So Lux cautiously stopped attacking. The thing wasn't fast. Though it was huge and had an impressive stride, she could still kite it while her Lightforged Wings were spread.
Rather than attack it directly, Lux thought she should observe it more closely. She hadn't forgotten that it seemed to have an attack that could silently break defensive spells. Against an enemy with such unusual offense and defense, she couldn't be too careful.
However, just as Lux decided to avoid its attacks and kite it
