As the battle with the Earth Elemental raged on, the amount of deaths on the mercenaries side began to decrease. They seemed to understand that although the Earth Elemental is exceedingly powerful, it isn't very intelligent. Or maybe it is, but it's been corrupted by whatever's sitting at the bottom of the chasm.
Another important fact that they learned is just how useless they are in the face of overwhelming power. There are thousands of mercenaries in the Core Formation Realm and yet they haven't been able to put so much as a scratch onto the Earth Elemental.
Even Robin, the strongest person in their group, has barely been able to damage it even with Mira taking most of its attention away!
The only saving grace in this fight is that the Qi in the air is so dense that they can basically keep spamming abilities without worrying about having to take time to replenish their reserves.
