Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

The huge creature screeched loudly in anger as it swayed left and right. The sound was so loud that if the team didn't protect their ears with soul force, they could've been blown into smithereens and they would've lost their ability to hear.

Then, with a quick motion, it sent one of its tentacles flying toward them. The limb was so huge that it could probably compare to the size of the hunter association headquarter.

The only good thing that could be deducted from this situation is the fact that the tentacle wasn't moving very quickly so the team was able to evade it. They all ran in the same direction and left the tentacle to hit the wall and blow it into dust with a single swipe.

The fear that almost crippled them before was now the fuel for their movement as a new hope of living swelled up in their hearts.

Acht was the most confident one out of them all as he had one single thought in his head.

'My gravity bullet was able to poke a hole in its stomach so acid should've already reached its other organs. It won't be that long for it to melt its organs. It just needs some time.' He thought to himself.

But, even with that optimistic mindset, he was still wary of this creature especially when it was rampaging like that. Any hit no matter how small it was could kill them instantly. So, each move they did had to be calculated precisely.

The group kept running along the side of the dungeon wall while the monster sent all kinds of attacks at them relentlessly.

Simultaneously, it was also approaching them ever-so-slowly. The group was able to see that and they felt extremely nervous because of it. So, with instruction from Leilset, they got separated into two groups that ran in different directions to make the monster go crazy.

Luckily, it worked as the monster halted mid-air and looked at the two groups running like small mice. It wasn't smart but it was intelligent enough to know what they were doing. So, it locked on to Acht's group and followed them.

They all cursed under their breaths at their bad luck but also felt relieved that at least some of them could escape safely.

Acht eyed the monster and saw that its stomach and other parts of its body were turning to a darker shade as if they were getting burnt. He also saw how it was going up and down as if it was resisting the urge to fall down.

He was now more than sure that it was dying slowly. He gave a rough assumption that it will be incapable of moving in a few more minutes.

So, with that in mind, he looked at Leislet and told her what he was thinking of. She also seemed to notice that fact and encouraged her team more. Everything was going smoothly, but, that didn't last long.

As the monster was close enough, it suddenly halted its steps and did something weird. It opened its mouth which was akin to a hole rather than a mouth. They all could see the oblivion inside that place and remember the feeling of being inside its stomach.

Then, a huge amount of energy started accumulating in the middle of its mouth. They all knew immediately that what it was preparing was not something any of them wanted to see or be on the receiving end of it. Unfortunately, they had no choice in that matter.

The energy accumulating kept getting bigger and bigger to the point where it was almost unbelievable. Then, a small spark flickered inside its mouth. That small spark of fire ignited a huge flame ball that was the size of a sector in Lagradon.

'It has fire affinity?!' Acht's eyes widened.

He knew of the existence of monsters with an affinity for elements but he didn't want to meet one at this crucial time. He had no idea how he was going to be able to stop that attack.

He looked at Leislet who was also shocked but somehow more composed than him.

She eyed one of the S-Rankers with the group and without any word, the woman that she signaled closed up to the left side.

At the same time, the monster had already made the ball grow somehow even bigger until it almost covered its whole huge mouth. Then, with a loud scream, it spat out the fireball like a ball of saliva. The speed of the ball was incomparable to that of its tentacles as it cut tens of kilometers in a few seconds. The group only had a few moments to stop that attack.

It was huge and terrifying but they all relied on the girl that Acht didn't know much about. He watches as she does something weird.

She created a C-shaped statue of ice. It looked like a slide made for kids. It seemed that the girl had an Ice affinity.

Then, she looked at the group and said, "Move to the side and give some space. I might be blown away after the attack." She shouted in a hurry.

At that moment, the fireball reached the group and collided with the statue of ice. However, instead of destroying it, it slid on and changed direction because of the shape of the statue.

However, Acht could see that what was happening was not easy to execute as the woman had to rebuild the statue continuously because of the strong heat emitting from the ball.

Then, with a loud sound, the girl was sent flying and the statue was destroyed. Luckily, the ball changed direction and flew back to the creature.

The monster was way too slow to evade at time so the attack hit it square in the face. A loud screech of pain made everyone shudder as they saw how the creature's body was caught on fire.

*BOOOOOOOMMM*
