More fireballs fly out of the distance and impact against my water domain, sending massive gouts of steam hissing into the air and further reducing visibility. In front of me, buffeted and soaked by the frothing mass of water that makes up my water domain, the double croc lunges forward with its massive jaws.

SNAP!

Yikes!

Leaping to the left I manage to avoid the snapping jaws at the last second. With the foe off balance, I dash forward to bite once more.

CRUNCH!

[Shattering Bite has reached level 8]

Muahahaha!

The Croc growls furiously, a rumble that comes from deep within its chest and shakes the air with its intensity. The double crocs are almost the same size as Tiny when standing on their hind legs, close to ten feet.

Being a little over a metre tall at this point, the damn thing towers over me. My eyes are about level with its knees! Thankfully my shattering bite manifests more than metre away from actual mandibles, increasing the range of my bite attacks considerably.

Enough to take a decent chunk out of the monsters side at any rate.

WHAM!

Ouch!

A little cocky after my successful bite and I don't even notice the twin tails sweeping towards me until they smash into my side with tremendous force, sending me flying several metres away.

[Master! Are you all right!?] Crinis cries shrilly.

[I'm fine! Focus on the fight!]

[Damn beast! I WILL REND YOU!!!]

I've lost a bit of HP from that strike, the kinetic force of the impact was enough to crack my carapace in several places but the enhanced diamond is perfect for resisting this sort of damage. Not to mention, a new feeling arises in the damaged sections that brings a smile to my heart. The inner bone plating, a supportive structure that webs the inside of my exoskeleton, begins to excrete a gel like substance at the site of the damaged portions. Immediately I can feel the tingling feeling of regeneration begin to intensify as the cracks start to knit together.
