Hundreds of bones and clumps of mud formed a monstrous body, from which dozens of arms protruded.

The arms were no different in composition from the body.

They tried to swat away Robert, who was charging towards them.

However, it was futile.

"Gravity."

The arms trying to block Robert were knocked away by Astina.

Simultaneously pushing the arms away, she used other magic.

"Pressure Field."

Astina immobilized the monstrous body to prevent it from moving.Finndd the newest novels on n/o/velbin(.)com

The monster thrashed in response to Astina's magic, but it couldn't break free.

Robert charged straight towards the restrained monster.

I followed behind him.

Robert held out the staff in his hand.

Then, he used a spell.

"Finger of the Demon."

A black pillar rose from the ground.

It did not erect straight up but formed a path leading towards the monster.

Robert climbed atop the pillar and started running.

Thats when he reached near the body of the monster.

"Rudy Astria, I dont know where its core is. Ill pierce through its body; you find the core."

"Understood."

I responded to Roberts words.

Robert gripped the staff tightly and thrust it towards the monster.

As the tip of the staff touched the monster, cracks began to spread across its entire body.

"Rudy."

At Roberts call, I manipulated my mana.

At the very least, find the core.

If possible, destroy it.

I repeated it in my mind several times.

The crack created by Robert gradually widened, and the entire body began to disintegrate.

Crash!

As the monster's body shattered into pieces, the mud and bone fragments that constituted its body scattered around.

I opened my eyes wide in awe of that power.

What on earth was the capability of that staff to unleash such a formidable power?

Could Robert alone win with this?

However, there was no time to be astonished by Roberts abilities.

Finding the core, as Robert had mentioned, was the priority.

I focused and looked around.

Unlike the Death Knight, which had its core in the center of its body, the monster's core was not visible in the center.

That meant the core must be somewhere within its body parts.

I scanned the surroundings.

I had to find where the strong mana was concentrated.

I recalled the feeling Luna and I had when we encountered the Death Knight.

I needed to find mana that gave off a sticky and unpleasant feeling.

However, the mana was spread throughout the entire body.

Since mana was what constituted and moved its body, that was a given.

Nevertheless, I had to find it.

Find where it felt the most distinct.

Find where the strong mana was.

Thats when a hand was placed on my shoulder.

It was Robert.

He was breathing heavily.

Having shattered that gigantic body, he seemed to have used a lot of mana.

Even in his fatigue, he did not hold back his advice.

"Focus. Feel the mana."

"Don't rely on your sight. Find it with your own senses."

I continued to concentrate while listening to Robert's words.

As I focused and scanned my surroundings, I looked at a skull lying far away.

The skull felt different from the fragments around it.

There was no concrete evidence.

It was just a feeling.

I quickly moved my mana.

"Dark Spear."

A black spear slowly formed in my hand.

It was a spell I could use quickly.

Robert opened his mouth as he saw this.

"Have you found it?"

There was no time to answer.

I immediately threw the spear at the skull.

The spear flew at a high speed.

However, it did not reach the skull.

"Ah...!"

The bone fragments beside the skull transformed into a hand and grabbed the spear.

I read the flow of mana, finding the sticky, dark flow of mana.

And then...

Ive found it.

I read the location precisely.

Top right.

Next to the third tentacle from the top.

I opened my eyes and confirmed the exact location.

Then, I dashed forward.

Gathering mana in my legs, I burst forward.

I had to pierce through its body shattered and scattered around.

Ugh

But my speed was too slow.

The amount of mana I could use at once was limited, so I couldnt invest too much in my legs.

I made a quick decision and shouted.

Priscilla!

And so, I chose Priscilla.

Using Priscilla doesnt consume a lot of mana as long as I dont use the elementals power.

Then, blue smoke gathered in front of me, and a wolf with a mix of silver and blue appeared.

Without a moment to speak, I climbed onto Priscillas back.

What are you doing?

Run! It's to the top right of that monster!

Priscilla looked bewildered, but there was no time to explain.

As I shouted, Priscilla moved as instructed.

I am a elemental, not a mount.

Of course, she didnt forget to grumble.

Despite her protest, she was much faster than my running speed.

The rift that Robert created was gradually widening, and it was almost time for it to completely crumble.

I tapped on Priscillas back and spoke.

Priscilla, we need to go up.

The monsters body was as tall as a three-story building.

There was no footing around, so Priscilla couldnt jump up.

Phew

Priscilla sighed at my words.

I will lift you as high as possible.

Thanks. Ill take you for a long walk when this is over.

Priscilla sharpened her claws and charged at the monster.

Using the momentum from her run, she climbed up the monster.

As we quickly ascended, the monsters body started to crumble.

Its body was made of mud, so it scattered and couldnt be used as a foothold.

The part Priscilla was stepping on disappeared.

I then moved my feet to Priscillas back.

Here goes.

Alright.

We moved in sync, as if we had agreed upon our actions beforehand.

I used Priscillas back as a stepping stone and pushed myself up.

Then, I gathered mana in my feet and jumped.

At the same time, Priscilla pushed me forward.

Directly towards the direction where I could feel the core.

Bang

Ugh

With a slight groan from the impact, Priscilla fell to the ground.

Dont forget about the walk.

She fell to the ground, her body dispersing like smoke.

Thanks to Priscillas push, my body was propelled into the air.

In mid-air, I gathered mana in my hand.

No, to be precise, I gathered mana in my index finger.

The core wasnt that big.

From what I heard from Robert, it was definitely protected by mana.

Then, I must pierce through a small point.

I will pierce through the core, which is heavily protected by mana, at one point.

Gathering mana at my fingertips, I waited for the right timing as the core was falling.

Amidst the soft, muddy ground.

A small skull appeared.

It was clear as day.

Its coming closer.

Right in front of me.

And then,

In one go.

I pierce through.

As soon as the skull reached in front of me, I concentrated on one point of my finger.

I thrust my arm forward.
