56 Chimeraan Fight Part 2 (2/2)
”Also, since we don't have the luxury of time right now, I can't fully grasp the abilities of our comrades. Wait, steel yourself Evan, the beast is condensing magic right now. Try to hasten your pace as well, it is condensing a considerable amount of mana.”
Ezra felt that a spell was on its way and could only predict that it would be the same spell. The beast opened its mouth and shot a blast of water like a fire hose toward the direction of Evan. This was unexpected, it startled Ezra but Evan dodged it in time since Ezra had warned him about the spell.
”Wow, this thing can use fire and water? Impressive, I think humans have difficulty with that. But its weird with fire he seemed to have cast it instantly roughly a one-second cast but for this, it seems it used three seconds to cast its spell.” Ezra thought out loud.
The beast roared in frustration as the spell missed Evan it tried to condense more magic to assault Evan and Ezra.
There was now a shout from their right. ”Sire, I have completed the task, the trap is ready,” yelled an excited Rycharde.
”Let's move, Evan, ready your javelin this time, we'll try to pierce its head, from the looks of it, its head is more vulnerable than that scaly body of that thing,”
Ezra and Evan moved swiftly through the forest, even though the beast was fast, it did not catch up to them quickly due to the cover of the trees. They bobbed and weaved through the forest, the beast could only trail behind.
”Knights ready your spears, near the trap, we only get one shot at this,” yelled Ezra. The knights gathered near the depression which was roughly 2 meters by 20 centimetres.
Evan approached the trap now with the Chimeraan chasing behind, he leapt over the hole.
”As the Precantae is trailing raise the wall abruptly when the hole is approximately under his stomach, so cast [Earth Wall] to do this”urged Ezra to Rycharde.
The spears had their end stuck in the ground and their pointed heads facing upward.It did not leap and just charge through as it avoided the hole.
”NOW!!!” Ezra shouted.
The depression rose swiftly, as it assaulted the soft underbelly of the Precantae. The Chimeraan was shocked, it did not know where the attack came from. It howled in pain and slowed down as it flinched.
Spears also showered on its sides and behind as the knights had already surrounded the wounded animal.
'Good thing I was right, 'Ezra sighed in relief. 'My conjecture that its belly possessed soft tissue was correct.'
”Now Evan throw your spear,” Ezra commanded.
The [Earth Wall] trap only wounded the animal but was not fatal, they only had a two-second window to attack the beast with a spear throw. Ezra wanted a direct hit to the brain so that a major part of the Chimeraan's faculties were disabled even if it was not killed right there.
The spear launched travelling at a speed of 778 km/h. The beast who was still in pain from the belly stabs did not notice the hurtling projectile toward its head. The javelin connected on its right temple and punctured its skull while penetrating to the other side firmly anchoring on the ground.
The beast roared and squirmed the knights backed down with worried looks. They thought that it could still fight. It was flailing around but it still stayed where it was, after a few seconds of convulsing, the beast was dead.
Rycharde went near to confirm the kill.
”Hurray for Lord Ezra, Commander and Killer of Chimeraans!” Rycharde reported.
”Praise Lord Ezra!” the other knights seconded in acclimation.
Evan puffed his chest looking at Ezra with pride as he looked at him.' I serve an excellent lord, I hope I can see him grow up and rule Fulmen with the same amount of decisiveness and intellect.'
