All Castra could see was a sand ball as big as a truck flying towards them.
Time seemed to slow down and the movement of the sand ball was clear to the eyes.
The sand ball cut through the sand clouds, even dissipating half of them.
The whole arena suddenly descended into darkness and the next thing Castra knew, a paw suddenly grabbed the back of his neck.
Then...
BANG!
The gigantic sand ball hit the wall of the arena and the protective barrier around the arena hit by the ball trembled hard.
The next second, that particular barrier shattered to pieces.
It was just that, the arena's wall that was not protected by the barrier instantly crumbled and fell to the ground with a series of noises, blocking the exits and entrances to the arena.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The cloud of dust and sand exploded, and the entire arena shook as if it was hit by an earthquake.
Half of the sand on the ground slid onto the hole at the center of the arena, revealing the cracked stone floor beneath.
Castra only felt that the world was spinning and his b*tt suddenly hit a hard surface.
"Ah!"
Castra shrieked as the pain went straight up his spine, almost numbing his entire senses.
At the same time, the voices of the other people also sounded one after another.
"Argghh!"
"Ouch!"
"Oink!"
"Awooo!"
The "survivors" fell around Castra and they groaned weakly, as if about to die the next second.
Garfin flicked the paw that he used to lightly push all the survivors to the safe place just a few inches away from the danger zone and sneered.
"You guys are too weak, meow. Without this king, you guys would have turned into a patty, meow!"
But not being able to use a skill was indeed convenient, hmph.
Being scolded, the two fire beast spirits quickly got onto their feet and lowered their heads in front of the cat that was much, much smaller than them.
"Grrr…"
"Oink…"
Cecily and Mario also slowly rose from the ground while clutching their throbbing b*tt.
"W-what happened?" Mario looked around the place that was full of sand clouds and he almost choked on the sand.
"Ugghh....did the alena got destloyed?"
Cecily covered her nose and mouth as she looked at the thick clouds of dust with watery eyes.
To think that an esteemed summoner like her would struggle against a mere C-rank mutated boss monster...
This is such a disgrace!
Castra also could not see his surroundings, so he looked at Poo and Garfin, the only people who might be able to see something.
[Don't look at me, I'm not omnipotent!] Poo shook his head while Garfin meowed,
"Half of the arena is destroyed and some of the audiences' seats also turn into ruins, meow."
That dung meteor strike was no joke.
Just one move and it almost wiped off the entire group.
"Ugh...now what to do? Can we leave the arena?" Mario groaned as he hit his waist weakly.
As a weak summoner, this series of events is too much for his body to bear!
"Unfortunately meow, the closest exits to us are blocked by the wall's debris."
And the last two exits were behind the boss monster and its group of mobs.
Not to mention, the barrier near the monsters were still intact.
"We have to go through the boss to leave, meow, but I think we can't escape, meow. That monster will chase us to the end, meow."
The entire group fell silent as they watched the clouds of dust slowly dissipate, revealing the twenty-or-so surviving mob monster and the menacing boss monster that looked like an endless wall.
"But...how do we defeat the boss monster? Can the mysterious poison kill the boss monster?"
Mario bit his fingernail and tapped his feet as his face turned pale bit by bit.
"The mystelious poison will only weaken the boss monstel by a bit...it won't even knock it out..."
"What about this cat? Isn't it strong enough to fight against my two D-rank spirits?"
Mario placed his hope on the unusual Garfin but the cat could only shake his head.
"Unfortunately, I can't use skills, meow...so I can't help much, meow."
"Ahhhh! Then what do we do?? Just wait here and die??"
Castra listened to the three people's bickering and his eyes flickered.
So there's really only one way to defeat that monster, just like what Poo said.
"Everyone, I-I have a plan, but we need to get close to the monster!"
"What plan, fake spirit? You are courting death!"
"No, no, you know about my Laxative skill, right? So, I'll do this..."
Mario, Cecily and Garfin stared at Castra in silence before Mario slowly opened his mouth.
"...is this real? Will this work?"
"Anyway, let's just try!"
"Okay, since you said so...there's no other method, anyway."
Mario sighed as he waved his hands, signaling his two summon spirits to standby next to him.
Cecily hugged her natal spirit and Garfin jumped onto Castra's shoulder, assuming his rightful position.
"Okay, everyone, I just need you guys to distract the mob monsters."
"Okay, okay."
"Yesh!"
"Meow..."
"Okay, let's move in three, two, one..."
"Go!"
The group immediately kicked the ground hard and dashed towards the boss monster and the remaining twenty mob monsters shrouded in a thick cloud of dust.
"Attack!!!"
The fire wolf and the fire boar opened their mouths and spurted out a fountain of fire towards the mob monsters.
"Duuuuu!!!"
The mob monsters shrieked as they tried to extinguish the fire with their own rolled sand balls.
But this was not the end.
Before the mob monsters could use their sand balls to extinguish the flame, the summoner duo picked up a stone and bashed it to the monster's head.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Duuuuu!!"
The mob monsters were all knocked out, leaving an empty road in the middle that led to the boss monster.
"Fake spirit— now!"
Castra immediately bolted towards the boss monster before the boss monster could even react and the next second, he tossed Llyod who immediately went to the boss's rear.
With a dramatic hand seal, Castra shouted while Llyod thrust into a specific hole.
"EAT THIS— "
"Laxative skill!!!!"
