That was why the moment he stopped and landed, he didn't even check his body and stood up. He focused, controlled the far away knives, calculated everything in his mind, clenched his sword tightly with both hands, before finally dashing forward again.
He knew if given enough time, that weird looking mouth would start splashing acid all over the ones in the hole. It might not be enough to kill anyone but would end up losing many gears and having more wounds was an expected result.
William was around seventy up to eighty metres away from that mouth part. And yet that didn't stop him from using his lightning dash technique. He was exhausted physically, but his spirit power was still filled up to max.
As he moved, the monster also moved. It rose up its mouth part, seemingly prepared to sprout out acid breaths over those falling inside the hall.
*Bang!*
Yet before it could open its wounded mouth and do it, William arrived!
His sword was now used like a spear, penetrating it deeply into that slightly opened mouth. At the same time, all of his twelve knives were moving in a circular and rotational way, chipping more of this monster's flesh, trying to cut off this annoying part.
*Roar!*
For the first time since the start of all this, the monster issued such an ear deafening roar. And then William felt a grand shadow looming over his body from behind.
"I'm your opponent!" It was the deadly tail, and it seemed the monster decided to aim at William first before anyone else.
William was the most annoying one here who kept stopping this monster from eating its prey like it used to. And so, it was understandable why it came towards him first.
But before that tail would rise high enough, arch in the air behind William like it was a pillar of the sky, Ibra shouted and jumped high in the air. Holding one oval shaped, heavy looking, large shield in his left arm, while raising his glaive with his right arm, waving it in circles before landing it over the tail.
The hit landed just five metres away from the sharp tip, needle-like end of that tail. The hit was strong enough to issue another deafening clanging sound as the glaive got stopped by the fierce scales on that tail.
But it was enough to throw off that monster's tail away from the direction of William's body.
"Get your things done quickly and leave here as soon as possible!" Ibra shouted again, while using his shield to protect William's body, landing just a few metres behind the latter.
"Give me a minute," William's sword twisted in the monster's opening, before he retracted it out in an oblique way, leaving behind a much deeper and ugly looking wound.
That brown liquid gushed out next, even covering his face, making William feel a little burning pain all over his skin. But that didn't stop him from waving his sword again, mimicking Ibra here, moving his sword in a few circles before landing a barrage of slashes over anything he could reach.
As for his knives, they kept rotating and chopping parts of that monster's flesh like a saw machine or something.
*Clang!*
"Make it faster!" Ibra shouted after another ear deafening clash between his shield, glaive, and that tail.
"Aim at the last metre below that needle," William didn't care about the urge in Ibra's voice, "it's the part without any scales or defences."
"Why didn't you tell me that a bit earlier? Tsk!" Ibra looked at the part William specified, but found it not looking any different than any other part of the monster's body.
Scales were still there. And for a moment, Ibra hesitated.
"They are all fake scales, formed out of flesh, without any good defensive abilities," William could already see through Ibra's line of thoughts, hurriedly shouting while keeping his sword and knives hacking that mouthpiece of that monster.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom The monster wasn't as slim as any snake. It had a body that was around five metres in radius. It was quite thick, and taking any piece down would take quite the time.
"Fine," Ibra decided to give it a go, and the next time he clashed with that tail, he blocked and shielded William first, then the hit from his glaive came next at that slim end part of the monster's tail.
"It works!" As a little kid happy about a new toy, Ibra shouted when his glaive broke through the fake scales, got deeper inside the monster's flesh, and went deep enough to reach the central bone chain of this monster.
"Again!" feeling quite thrilled by this, Ibra got all hyped up.
"Watch out its tail, it's toxic and the blood coming out from it is toxic and highly acidic!" William's shout came a bit too late, as the glaive's edge got slightly touched by the dark brown liquid of that wound, issuing loud sizzling noises and thin lines of dancing white smoke.
"Damn! Why aren't you telling me everything at one go? See? My precious glaive got a little dent in it!" Ibra complained out loud, while looking at his precious glaive in sorrow and anger like never before.
"It still looks cool!" William dealt the final blow and that mouth part of the monster got severed at last, "I'm done here, what's taking you this long? Did you grow old or what?"
"Shut the hell up already!" Ibra wasn't in the mood to accept any jokes from William at this moment, directed all his rage towards that tail, "I'm going to take this part back with me. It's the least price I can accept for the loss in my glaive."
"Fine," William still got more than forty percent of his spirit power left, yet he didn't have the power to even stand straight.
His body got exhausted during the past and fierce clash with that monster. Even so, he didn't try to move away from the battle. Instead, he drew closer.
