Thanks to Cia’s spear. The beast had slowed down just enough for Quinn to move out of the way, avoiding the vine whip. Fex and Peter had also now resorted to dodging after finding out the incredible growth speed of the vines.
However, the fact that the beast was slowed down didn’t go unnoticed. A second spear was thrown and had landed in the same spot on the beast legs. The effect of two spears had stacked and now the beast was 20 percent slower than it usually would have been, and also twenty percent weaker.
The students took advantage of this temporary weakness. Their attacks were bouncing off the beast’s thick hide were now doing damage, and the vines that were troubling started to move slower.
Still, the beast was strong and even at 80 percent of its strength, it was able to fend off the attacks form forty different students.
Cia continued to throw her spirit spears at the beast. At most though, she was only able to stack up two spears. Whenever she would throw a third spear into the beast the first one would have already lasted for five seconds and disappear.
Her ability was perfect for situations like this. The beast was a big target and other then it’s vines, it’s main body wasn’t too fast unless it was running in a straight line.
If she was to go up against other beasts, even some intermediate beats, it might have been harder for her to use her ability, but right now, she was one of the most important people when it came to taking down this creature.
"If only we could make it even weaker," Del said. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
As that moment, a blonde by stood by Cia’s side, and in his hand, he too had a spirit spear.
"Looks like you have quite a good ability there," Vorden said as he threw the spear into the beast’s leg.
With Vorden and Cia using their sprit spears, the beast now had lost 40 percent of its overall strength. It was nearly half of what it used to be.
The students were now doing even better than before, and even the ones whos weapons had been reinforced by Del were working.
Quuinn no longer felt the need for him or Fex to get involved when fighting the beast. The students that had been brought back by Quinn were getting treatment from the support students.
Now that the beasts movements had slowed, they had joined the battle and went to support their teammates using buffs and other skills. The only one that remained in position with a smile on his face was Del. "This is brilliant, it looks like these students might be able to take down and advance beast after all. I might even get a promotion for this!" Del thought about excitedly.
When looking at him, Quinn felt like he could read his teacher like an open book. Especially after there earlier interaction. He got the sense that Del was quite a selfish person and he was right. Even now, although the situation had gotten better it wasn’t perfect.
Students still ended up dying, but all Del could think about was himself.
After a good fifteen minutes of constant attacks from most of the students, other than Quinn, Fex who decided to lay low. Even Peter and Layla were actively helping.
The beast now looked heavily injured. It lifted its front two feet into the air and slammed them onto the ground. The mass weight of the beast caused the ground to shake around the students a little. It also served as a reminder to the other student that this beast was still plenty strong.
The beast repeatedly did this action as it roared and screamed, at the same time, the vines that were coming off from the bud on its back were swinging more widely.
"What is this, have the spears warn off or something?" A student said.
But when looking at the beast, the spears from Vorden and Cia still remained. They continued to attack the beast with them. Although at this point, Cia was feeling incredibly drained along with Vorden. They had been using their abilities for a while nonstop and didn’t know how much longer they could last.
The beast using its long head was now looking over back into the jungle and the next second it started running off back from where it came. The students who were stood behind the beast rolled and dived out of the way, for fear they might get trampled on.
"Should we chase it, if it’s running away doesn’t that mean its nearly dead?" A student asked.
