50 Fighting a Deity (2/2)

”Guh!” Blood shot out from Lachlan's mouth, looking to his side he finally saw it was a feint. The Sobek had spun its body and roundhouse kicked his back. The shock caused him to drop his knife.

He flew away, but unlike the others, he managed to stick his legs into the ground. His body still moved a could of metres, causing the ground to break. He wiped the blood from his mouth.

Lachlan lunged from his position, hoping he could at least restrict a body part.

The Sobek swung its tail towards Lachlan from above. Just like he planned, Lachlan reached out and grabbed it. But the force from the impact caused the ground beneath him to break apart, but he still held on.

”Go!” Lachlan shouted.

The rest of the group began their attack, unfortunately, its tail wasn't the only thing it could attack with. Just like it boxer it threw fast punches, of course, due to Lachlan restriction it couldn't use its full power.

Getting annoyed it lifted its tail, lifting Lachlan with it. Seeing what it had done caused it to grin, before it swung its tail around, smashing against the ground.

The rest of the group attacked it during this time, but its instincts were too high. Although Simon had managed to get a hit in, however, it didn't do enough damage to stop it.

Lachlan felt it was too much, so he had to let go.

He quickly stood up and pounced again, this time going for a punch.

The Sobek grinned the idea. While it continued to defend and attack with its fists, it used its tail to attack Lachlan.

This time Lachlan smiled, he quickly opened his hands and grabbed onto the tail. During the time he was getting beat by the tail he came up with an idea, 'Why don't I just do that same to him'.

The first time Lachlan grabbed the tail he noticed the weight of the Sobek was incredibly heavy, but just like all things, it had a centre of balance, and the tail was a crucial part of it.

Grabbing the tail he tugged it towards him, but while he did that he stepped forwards and got low towards the ground, kicking full force with his legs.

The Sobek was slightly stunned, its legs were kicked from under it, causing it to begin to fall.

Everyone took this opportunity to attack, Lachlan aimed for the back around where the ribcage was with an upwards kick, the rest aimed for either the head or stomach.

With Lachlan's full force behind his kick and everyone targeting either the head or stomach, the beasts back completely turned into a η shape around Lachlan's leg.

*Crack*

They already knew what this sound meant, its back had snapped in half. Lachlan wasn't done there, with such a high vitality stat he wasn't sure what the Sobek could come back from.

He grabbed onto the head and twisted hard, snapping its neck. He then placed a leg onto the shoulder and pulled, but while he did that he also kicked, pulling the head right off.

”Analyse,” He muttered.

Nothing showed up, it was finally dead.

The beasts near them began to pull back in fear, especially the reptiles, causing their formation to slightly collapse as they had just lost their main tanks.

…

Inside the commander room, they all shouted.

”Yeah!”

”I was worried for a second there”.

”Same, that almost got me”.

”Everyone prepare the retreat!” A young woman commanded. It was the same one that talked to James.

”Why?” Everyone asked in confusion.

”That was just one, they won't be able to handle the other four intelligent beasts attacking together,” What she said was a cold bucket poured over them.

”Get ready to retreat, give the order to all soldiers, get someone to tell them we're going to retreat now”.

”Yes, Vice-Admiral May!”
