One down.
But there were still two more.
Another teammate, hit hard across the side, was now limping and holding onto his druidic form with shaky resolve.
Aksai stepped in to cover him, launching rocks and a few Ice Spears to distract the remaining monsters.
By now, even using his basic Spirit spells was proving difficult, but his life wasn't in danger, so he decided to keep up the act.
The second core was finally spotted by one of his teammates, buried deep in the creature's back. Aksai created an opening, focusing his attacks on the creature's thick, bark-covered arm.
He gritted his teeth as the monster lashed back, knocking him sideways, but he managed to stay on his feet. This allowed his teammate to make a move, aiming precisely at the core.
But Aksai decided to do a bit of kill-stealing. Using Wood Vines, he pulled his teammate aside and, with the counterforce, propelled himself close to the tree monster.
