Luke went around the environment in just a few seconds, aware that there wasn't the slightest chance he would be detected. He wasn't concerned about whether or not he could kill the creature quickly, but rather whether he could penetrate the shell on his back.
At least if Meredith and Alexis could create a good opening, Luke thought he could tear the creature from underneath.
Now closer than ever and hidden behind another crystal, the half-wolf could clearly hear the snoring of the monster, which seemed to be sleeping soundly, and that was a good sign. If Luke approached the monster now, he knew he could surprise the creature or even kill him; however, he trusted that if the half-dragon didn't tell him to do that, it was because there was a reason.
When Luke heard the dagger being thrown by Meredith, he firmly held the handle of the Behemoth Axe.
Craccccc~
The sound of the crystal breaking was the signal the S-Class had been waiting for to start upwards. Seeing the gigantic creature rise from the scare, she used the <Fist of Life> skill. Now, the monster's eyes glowed in a strong yellow tone and a line that ran from the back of his neck to his tail. Before the monster could roar to frighten Alexis, he was suddenly hit by her with a punch on his chin, but he still held his ground. Alexis backed away because her responsibility at the moment wasn't to kill the creature but to get its attention.
The half-wolf didn't take long to act too, although he saw that the sharp crystal couldn't penetrate the monster's tough armor.
Spinning the axe in his right hand, Luke ran quickly behind the monster and slipped underneath him, slicing his two sturdy paws from the rear. Immediately, the creature lost a significant amount of his balance and almost fell on the half-wolf, who was underneath him and was ready to strike his belly, but had to get out to not be crushed.
"That's two paws down; that leaves six." Luke spoke as he stopped beside Alexis. He was a little frustrated that he couldn't kill the creature in the first few moves, but he didn't martyr himself.
"It's okay, she's not that weak.... I'll prepare to do one thing then... distract the creature for fifteen seconds!" Alexis said.
"All right!" Luke shouted and started running towards the monster. Luke spun his axe.
When the creature regained his balance, he attacked with his feline front paws towards the half-wolf. The two blows delivered by these paws were very strong, and although the half-wolf managed to block most of the damage with the Behemoth Axe, a claw of the monster still hit him, causing a deep cut. Luke didn't mind the cut and, in one neat move, slashed another sturdy paw from the front, causing the creature to lose his balance again.
In the end, the heavy and resistant shell was the reason for the defeat of the powerful monster.
The half-wolf still tried to advance again after getting away with a leap, but the creature suddenly turned and hit him with his tail.
Thrown away with the force of the strike, Luke rolled on the cave floor, but managed to get up quickly with a somersault. Afterward, he ran to his axe, and seeing that the creature was running towards him, he had a déjà vu of the fight against the Golem God.
As in the first fight of the Behemoth Tournament, Luke slipped under the bizarre monster once again and chopped off one of the feline's legs. The monster's belly was unreachable for the half-wolf if he couldn't stand under the creature, so he couldn't cut his belly.
"Get out of there, Luke!" Alexis shouted, and suddenly the small sphere of light created by the <Divine Radiance> skill grew exponentially in the palm of the half-dragon's hand.
'Fuck...' Luke thought, startled when he saw that a sun was forming inside the crystal cave.
With his eyes dimmed from the glow of the <Divine Radiance>, the monster had to tilt his head a little to be able to see and try to get closer to the half-dragon. The thing knew it had nowhere to run.
The moment the creature ran up to her in desperation, the Class-S adventurer balanced the sun on the tip of her index finger and shouted:
"Die bizarre cat!"
Subsequently, the golden and hot yellow sphere sliced through the chamber as it flew toward the monster. The crystals around the ability exploded with its passage, and cracks formed on the floor.
Kabooom!
The noise of the sphere's collision over the monster and the creature's cry of pain was so loud, it resonated for hundreds of meters inside the tunnels of the Abandoned Mines. When the sound came out of the mouth of the cave, it was already weak and low enough not to spread to the city.
When Meredith had the courage to open her eyes and remove her hands from her fuzzy ears, she stood up and looked at where the fighting had occurred. Now, there was a heap of burnt flesh, guts, and blood, resulting from the monster's death. The half-fox quickly came down from where she was standing and went over to Alexis, who was pulling out a piece of tripe that flew onto her shoulder.
"Luke, where are you?" Meredith exclaimed. At the same time that she was happy for her victory, she was worried.
The characteristic sound of stomping on the crystal pieces on the ground answered the half-fox's question. Luke stepped out from behind a crystal where much of the monster's remains had been thrown.
Seeing Luke covered in blood and guts, Alexis felt fortunate to have been hit by only one gut. "Hahaha! What happened to you?" Alexis asked with a mocking smile, seeing that Luke was covered by blood and the monster's remains.
"Are you guys smelling that blood?" Luke asked, not even caring about the fact that he was covered in all this disgusting stuff.
"Are you really asking that while you're in this condition?" Meredith questioned, holding back laughter with one hand.
"I'm serious."
All the rotting smell had been extinguished when the monster died, and although there were many monster spoils now, those pieces of flesh didn't give off an odor as strong as what Luke was smelling.
"Follow me." The half-wolf ordered while patting his shoulder twice to get the excess guts of blood off.
The two half-beast women didn't quite understand; however, they trusted their friend's sense of smell and instinct.
