Chapter 1242: Chapter 1241: From The Frying Pan...

    ?

    "Man... I just HAD to say something about this place didn''t I?"

    Jahi rolled to the safe spot beside me and gave me a wry smile before grabbing her blade, covering the giant sword in a harsh radiance that only drew the ire of our two headed friend yet again.

    She was attempting to unravel some of her nerves with that little quip, and while it would have normally worked now was certainly not one of those times where comedy could make me feel a bit better, especially not after I had watched that two headed tiger casually regrow one of its head after it had been blown to pieces.

    The moment it had roared at us and wrenched both of its maw''s wide open to attempt to blast us to pieces with those bluish flames Lilith had instantly hurled a sphere of compressed air straight into it''s gullet, surprising the monster and causing the blue flame to explode prematurely.

    What should have been one hell of an opening in this encounter turned into a horrifying revelation as the monster simply roared at us and revealed an insane regeneration factor that drained me of confidence going forwards, but there was no turning back now.

    We had to fight, and so Draka and I lowered the barrier now that we were out of the insane windstorm and were instead presented with a monster that utilized flames, which would likely punch through the ice and burn us to a crisp if we tried to block it.

    Protecting the carriage was still a necessity, but Anput instantly buried it beneath multiple layers of rock before pushing it into the ground while Lady Fenyras lunged at the monster to distract it, her blades clanging off of its fur in a rather surprising twist.

    It wasn''t as bad as before, so I was able to push through and begin forming heavy, tapered lances that should penetrate the tiger''s fur, the attack from Mom proving that the defenses of the monster were penetrable.

    As it loosed another roar followed by a gout of blue flame in an attempt to burn the three melee fighters into a crisp, one of its heads snapped up to face towards me as it sensed the magic gathering around me, only to fail to unleash an attack since an earthen spike slammed its jaw shut.

    The rock crumbled upon contact with the monster''s fur and jaw, but it gave me the seconds I needed to sharpen my lance even more before it became shrouded in a gale, enhancing it''s penetrative power even more before I hurled it forwards.

    A whistle emanated thanks to its departure from my hand, and it made contact with the monster not even a second later, the tapered ice brushing past each strand of fur to find the blue flesh beneath.

    Blood gushed from the wound the moment the lance sunk into the tiger''s body, and it tried to let out another roar only for a frigid blast of wind to smack across one of its faces, freezing its maw shut and making it easy for the rest of the group to start whittling down it''s defenses.

    Impaling it with that lance caused it to stumble backwards, halting its momentum and making it easier for everyone else to dash forwards and begin cutting it down, their blades slicing through the fur and carving a patchwork of gashes in its flesh.

    The blood that poured out of those wounds pooled around the tigers feet, and while it tried to raise those massive paws to swipe at its attackers all it managed to do was off balance itself even more after both Mom and Lady Fenyras slammed into its chest.

    As soon as it fell onto its back its fate was sealed, the two strong warriors plunging their blades through its throats and unleashing their mana in droves as they burnt the monster from the inside out, and soon Jahi joined them as she too stabbed at it repeatedly, allowing her Light to wreak havoc as it constantly spilled out of the monster''s body, showing off the damage it had dealt.
