Chapter 144: Retreat (1/2)

Laust and Phyrill gradually made their way to the tail while Alea faced the mammoth from the front. Theo and Sihan went to the side, trying to make an opening for them.

Ellen was the first to make a move as three ice lotuses appeared above the mammoth's head.

”Bloom, Ice Lotus.”

The mammoth looked at the incoming lotuses and raised its head before sweeping the lotuses with its trunk.

”This mammoth.” Ellen clicked her tongue and used her second skill. ”Freezing Shot.”

The mammoth used the shield again to block these Freezing Shots, but Theo and Sihan used this precious chance to their advantage.

Sihan appeared next to the mammoth's eyes and struck its eye, only to find the mammoth closed its eyes.

The sword bounced off due to the hard surface.

At the same time, Theo sent his Magic Bullets to the other eye, but the trunk suddenly rolled up, turning into a shield for its eyes.

”Inch Slash.” Alea obviously didn't stay quiet and attacked him from the front.

The mammoth tilted his head and struck the energy with his ivory, cutting it into two.

When Laust and Phyrill were about to move, the mammoth raised its leg and stomped the ground.

The ground cracked before some of them flipped.

”Tch.” Everyone lost their footing in an instant and the dust kicked to the air, turning into a smokescreen.

Theo used his Awareness and found a trunk coming his way.

”Why me?” Theo clenched his teeth and disappeared by using his Blink. Little did he know, the mammoth was intelligent enough to understand Theo was the one he needed to defeat first because he seemed to be their leader, commanding all the strong ones, especially Alea.

”…” Theo appeared outside the smokescreen as Alea released her fire sword.

”Flamming Ge-Sword.”

Boom.

The explosion created a powerful shock wave that blew all dust around, showing everyone's condition.

Laust and Phyrill appeared to be together, away from the battlefield. Sihan still maintained his position. Ellen was far from it, so she was fine.

Alea was in the air as if she just jumped.

'The trunk seems to be trying to hit both her and me…' Theo frowned.

”Don't worry. This guy's body is big, so I can feel his movement clearly.” Alea assured Theo.

And with the situation calmed down, Phyrill and Laust went for the tail.

”Lightning Flash.” Phyrill had activated his Wolf Transformation to increase his strength and matched Laust's movement, trying to strike at the same spot as him to add more pressure on that part of the tail.

Laust, on the other hand, waved his sword down with his strongest technique. ”Moon Slash.”

Both of them struck at the same spot and felt the restriction.
