Chapter 463 462: A Long Lost Friend.

The fighter jets kept coming back and bombarding the mammoth, but it seemed that it didn't take any damage. The General decided to stop sending fighter jets to fight the mammoth since they didn't want to waste resources against an enemy that they couldn't kill. They still had to take care of the Insatiable Flies that occupied District 4, and it was more important than the mammoth since Asmond and his team were there.

The General said that he had prepared for a situation like that, and told them to wait. He said the weapon was still doing a final check and should arrive early in the morning which was 10 hours. He didn't mention what kind of weapon, but he believed it would work against an enemy like that.

Asmond was fine with that decision, and he couldn't agree more with the General's reasoning. They decided to take things slowly and observe the demon in front of them.

"The sun is out, let's see if this one will go to sleep as well or not," Arum whispered because she didn't want her voice to be heard by the demon.

They waited until the sun turned dark, and then they looked at the mammoth who had been standing still ever since the fighter jets bombarded him. There wasn't a single movement, and the mammoth seemed awake since he moved his trunk up and down.

"Well, it's not moving. That's a good thing right? But the real question is where this thing came from since we didn't see him earlier," Silas asked as he looked at the mammoth from the rooftop.

"Don't know, doesn't matter," Rufus said since they had been thinking about it and found no explanation. "Hey, he's moving!" Rufus tapped on everyone's shoulders who didn't pay attention to the mammoth.

They all stood up and looked at the mammoth and started to walk toward the city where the base was. It looked like the mammoth got attracted by the lights in the city.

"This is bad, we need to do something about this," Roxanne said as she grabbed her sword. "Let's distract him away from the city," Roxanne looked at Asmond.

Asmond nodded and then all of them jumped from building to building toward the mammoth.

Asmond cast a fireball and released it up into the sky. The mammoth lifted his head and looked at the big fireball.

"Looks like he has no brain as well, huh? It's going to be easy to distract him then," Rufus said as he followed Asmond from behind. "I guess you should keep doing that until we manage to send this idiot to the other side of the city," Rufus continued.

The mammoth suddenly roared so loudly that it trembled the buildings and shattered all the windows. The mammoth then started to move his trunk and destroyed the buildings in front of him with it and his tusks.

Asmond didn't hesitate to jump onto the mammoth's trunk and stab his sword at it. Roxanne and the others hesitated because they were scared to jump because if they failed, they would get trampled and die instantly.

"He's crazy! What are we going to do now if he's there on his own?" Rufus asked. "By the way, why is he climbing if he can fly?" Rufus raised his eyebrow in confusion.

"Who knows, maybe it's just reflexes," Silas answered.

Roxanne looked at the mammoth's feet. They were so big and thick that it was enough to tell it would be impossible to cut. But rather than doing nothing and watching, she decided to go down there and test it out to see if they could cut them.

They followed Roxanne and didn't complain since it would be better than doing nothing. They all landed on the ground and looked at the mammoth's back legs. They believed it would be safer to hit the back ones first since they didn't have to worry about the front legs.

Roxanne and the others were right behind the left foot of the mammoth. They then slashed their sword and spear at it, and it was surprisingly easy to cut. It was all thanks to the materials that Mara gifted to them when they cleared the towers.

"Watch out!" Arum shouted.

The mammoth turned around because he felt a sting on his left foot. He started to swing his trunk randomly, but even though he did it randomly, the wind was fierce enough to send them all flying.

Asmond was busy climbing the trunk, and suddenly he felt like his position had been turned upside down. He looked up and saw the mammoth lifting his front legs like a horse. He didn't have any choice but to deepen his stab into the mammoth's trunk so he wouldn't fall.

Roxanne and the others ran as far away from the mammoth as possible. When the mammoth stomped the ground with his front legs, a strong earthquake struck the whole city. The buildings with weak foundations collapsed in an instant, and the tall buildings started to shake and scared everyone underneath.

The shockwave of the trample sent Roxanne and the others up high. They landed with their backs and shoulders. It was so powerful that Asmond saw the ground waving like a wave in the water.

Asmond looked at the mammoth's left eye and decided to fly with wind magic. He then stabbed the eye as deep as he could, and then he dragged the sword from the left side all the way to the right side of the eye.

The mammoth roared as he shook his head to get rid of Asmond from his eye. The mammoth looked so pissed that he swung his trunk around so quickly that it threw Asmond into the air.

Asmond managed to recover by neutralizing the wind around him, but before he could move steadily, the trunk was coming toward him. He managed to dodge it, but the disturbance in the wind made him free-falling. He tried to stabilize it, but it was impossible at that moment.

The moonlight that lightened up the night was suddenly gone in Asmond's vision. He looked up and saw the trunk coming down at him, and it was already too late to dodge it. He accepted it since he still had his [Void Shelter] skill that prevented him from dying.

Asmond hit the ground really hard that the [Void Shelter] popped to protect him and recover his internal wounds. Once he recovered, the [Void Shelter] disappeared, but the mammoth's foot was right above him and ready to stomp on him.

He dashed to the left to dodge it, but then the tusk was coming right to where he was going. He didn't have a choice but to cut it with his sword.

He clashed his sword with the tusk and he used all his strength to cut it. Even though he managed to cut it quite deep, the moment the momentum hit his wrists and arms, he lost to the mammoth's brute strength. He broke his wrists in an instant and then got thrown away onto the tower's wall.

"What a beast," Asmond said as he looked at the mammoth charging toward him. "Looks like I have to go all out from now on," Asmond stood up and activated his [Nemesis] skill at the mammoth.

Asmond gained the regeneration ability from the mammoth and healed all his broken bones. He grabbed his giant sword and charged toward the mammoth without fear.

The tusks, the trunk, and the legs were all preventing him from getting closer. Flying was out of the option because it would only put him in a dangerous situation like before. He didn't have any other choice but to cut everything that came toward him.

"This is pointless, I can handle him on my own," Asmond looked around and there was no sign of Roxanne and the others. "Did they pass out from the impact from before?" Asmond slashed the trunk and cut off the tip.

"I knew you would be in trouble," A familiar voice could be heard from Asmond's left.

Asmond looked to the left and suddenly Enma ran passed in front of him with a giant shield in her hand. She blocked the tusk like it was nothing, and not only that, it bounced the mammoth's head back.

"I'll handle this, you go and get up there," Enma said as she looked at the shield she held.
