Logan focused on giving Scorch every advantage in the fight. At level 80, his beast was formidable, but Logan knew this battle could push it over the edge, allowing it to level up.
Beside him, Luna and Riptide fought fiercely, protecting as many civilians as they could. Thankfully, all of Logan's beasts seemed to share his innate drive to safeguard the populace.
Logan reached for his whip, now visibly transformed. It was indeed a living weapon, though he hadn't paid it much attention before. Now, its energy pulsed stronger than ever as it absorbed his two innate elements. Darkness and Light formed distinct strands along the whip, each moving independently, unwilling to merge.
This was new. Previously, Logan had shaped the whip to suit his needs, but now it acted on its own. The weapon's handle drained more of his mana than usual, yet the energy manifested vividly in the strands.
