As the hailstorm abated, the silence was pierced by the muffled sound of the heavy footsteps of a monstrous beast. Gigantic deer antlers adorned its head, shifting slightly with each step the creature took, as if they were tuned to the low frequency of its growl.
The beast's dense, shaggy fur, a gray that seemed to swallow light, fluttered with the raw energy that radiated from its being. The creature's yellow eyes captured the scant light, reflecting a predatory glow that penetrated the darkness of the storm. Its robust muscles rippled under the skin with every movement, a testament to an unimaginable strength. The aura that the beast exuded was almost tangible, a mix of primal power and uncontained wildness that made the air around vibrate.
Amon and the girls, who were near the entrance upon hearing the sounds, saw the creature.
Mabel, with a worried look, broke the silence: "It seems to be stronger than the monster Amon defeated before."
Amon, maintaining his composure, responded confidently, yet with a hint of caution in his voice: "It's almost at the same power level as me."
Barbara, unable to hide her anxiety, exclaimed: "My God, really?"
Maisa, frowning in concentration, asked, concerned for their safety: "Did that thing look this way... Could it see through the formations and seals we created?"
Julia, holding her breath for a moment, added: "I hope not..."
Amon's eyes narrowed, a determined gleam emerging in his gaze. In the next instant, with a decisive gesture, he created a lightning spear.
Without hesitation, Amon stated, his voice firm and resolute: "Whether it saw or not, I'd rather not take any risks."
As soon as his words fell, with a strong impulse, he launched the lightning spear that magically disappeared and reappeared right next to the creature's right hind leg.
"Whoosh!"
Even at their distance, the sound of the lightning spear was heard the instant it shot towards the beast's ankle.
Feeling the threat, the beast leaped high; however, the lightning spear, as if it had eyes, followed the beast, spinning like a high-speed drill creating self-rotating sounds. Soon, it found its target, piercing and passing through the beast's ankle.
"GIHHHHHHH!!!"
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom...!"
Soon, a sequence of sounds from the attacks colliding with each other echoed.
However, Amon didn't stop. He continued creating lightning spears, but the point of origin changed. Previously they came from the sky, but now they emerged close to the ground, heading towards the beast's four legs.
"Whoosh!"
Jumping like a frog, the beast leaped high upon noticing this. However, from its right, other lightning spears appeared, about to hit. Spinning its large body in the air and covering its gigantic body with a thin layer of ice, the beast managed to narrowly dodge. But now, from above, more spears came, and then from the left and from below, surrounding the beast.
"GIIIHHHKK!"
Feeling cornered, the beast let out a lamentable scream, seeming to be filled with fury.
In the next instant, a thicker layer appeared around the beast, turning it into the appearance of an ice statue. However, it didn't take long for the ice layer to explode, and then, all the ice fragments were launched in all directions.
"Smart. Good move," Amon commented, with a slight nod in recognition of the opponent's strategy. "But, it's not enough."
Although the explosion sent the ice fragments flying at high speed in all directions, Amon's vision was not to be underestimated, especially when his eyes changed and his pupils transformed into the shape of a minus sign. This allowed him to see things more clearly and, as if in slow motion, dodge all the ice fragments. Then, each lightning spear hit the body of the beast.
"Whooh! POW! POW! POW! POW! ..."
The endless sounds of the lightning spears echoed, followed by the agonizing scream of the beast.
"GIIIIIIHK!!"
The gigantic body of the beast began to fall towards the ground, as its entire body lit up like a luminous porcupine, reflecting the devastating impact of the attacks.
