After shouting, that giant monster immediately wrapped the rocks beneath its spot tightly, then lifted them up above its tentacles. And threw them everywhere, with very fast and strong force. Causing their group to be forced to fly into the air, constantly dodging the attacks, from those giant rocks that the dangerous and gigantic monster was throwing out.
After throwing those giant rocks for a very long time, to attack their group. It suddenly withdrew those tentacles very quickly. As well as stopped attacking them, making them very surprised when they saw this strange behavior of it.
- Riccardo: Huh! Why isn't it attacking us anymore?
- Cẩm Đan: Who knows?
Suddenly Somchai saw its posture, preparing to unleash the next move. So he immediately shouted to warn everyone:
Hey! Everyone, be careful. It's about to unleash another move!
As soon as Somchai finished speaking, it immediately spun its tentacles into an extremely strong whirlwind. Stirring up the entire space, making everything shake and tremble violently, twice as much as earlier. Making everyone dizzy, to the point they couldn't orient themselves. After that, it raised its huge tentacles. Then while spinning, it smashed those tentacles everywhere. To attack their group.
This time they not only had to dodge the attacks from the tentacles that it was striking everywhere. But they also had to use swords and slash those tentacles. To reduce the impact from those attacks. As well as prevent it from reaching them. But they didn't expect that the more they slashed, the more it regenerated. Making them very confused.
It could be said, this act of theirs brought no benefit at all. On the contrary, it only made them waste effort and made it even more furious. Because the slashes they made caused it great pain. After that, it began to withdraw those tentacles again. One more time, then started to swing them out with great force, this terrifying attack of it. Hit their group, causing them to be thrown far away.
- Katharina: So dangerous!
- Cẩm Đan: I didn't expect this damn creature, to be this strong!
- Riccardo: This time we're done for!
- Annette: What should we do now?
- Somchai: Could it be there's no way to defeat it?
When witnessing the scene of Somchai's group falling into such a miserable defeat, that cunning mage, who was hiding deep inside the monster's belly, felt very pleased and he thought:
"Hehe! Truly just a bunch of foolish kids. I told you already, you'll never be able to take back this ancient manuscript! So stop dreaming, instead just go die."
He started feeling very excited, thinking about Somchai's group being defeated by his hand. Making him feel delighted, but his joy stopped there. When Somchai sensed his presence. Through magical influence, inside his emotions.
Somchai: The emotion of this monster... just emitted from that spot,... right?
Then he lowered his face and thought.
Now I understand! So the real body of this monster, is located at that spot. No wonder all this time, no matter how many times we slashed it, it still didn't die, even when we slashed its vital points.
Seeing that, Somchai signaled for everyone to gather at his location. After seeing Somchai's signal, everyone quickly flew toward him. Then he discussed and came up with a plan with the group.
A moment later, after their group finished planning, they immediately scattered in all directions, to carry out their tasks. On Katharina, Riccardo, and Annette's side, they flew around the monster. And continuously attacked it with slashes, causing it to be distracted and lose focus. Meanwhile, Cẩm Đan flew behind Somchai, with the intention of supporting him when necessary.
- Somchai: Do you remember what I told you?
- Cẩm Đan: I remember, don't worry!
As soon as she finished speaking, he slashed a line right across its eye, temporarily blinding it. Then, Cẩm Đan seized the opportunity, flying toward it at high speed. At this moment, her muscles started to bulge with veins, as she exerted her full strength. Especially in her right arm, which was also the arm holding her sword. As she was preparing to slash it.
At this moment, her entire body radiated a powerful light, and she had also pinpointed the location, where its real body was hiding inside. After that, she slashed the giant monster's body in half, and along with that, the real body inside it was also destroyed, because Cẩm Đan wounded it right in the head. Causing that mage to be beheaded and fall into the rushing acid river, and the ancient manuscript in his body, also fell down along with him. Seeing that, Somchai panicked and shouted:
Somchai: Cẩm Đan! Watch out, the ancient manuscript is falling down there!
When she saw the ancient manuscript about to touch the water's surface. She quickly flew down, then grabbed it. After that, she sighed in relief.
- Phew,.. that was close! Almost lost it!
After successfully retrieving the ancient manuscript, their group became overjoyed.
- Somchai: Thank you, Cẩm Đan! If you hadn't caught it in time, our group would've failed this mission, on our very first try!
- Katharina: Hey! You should thank me too. Because I also helped distract it!
- Riccardo: That's right! Me too!
- Annette: Alright alright! Calm down, guys. Stop arguing, didn't we all contribute?
After hearing Annette say that, the whole group laughed with agreeing expressions.
- Haha! Of course we did!
