Diamond beast 1

To keep matters from getting too out of hand . I'm going to express the timeline where my adventure started as the original timeline , While the others might be referred to as per their events .

Example: The Raizon Massacre .

The Divine Era

The Skeleton War

Anyway .

Diamond beasts are endangered in the original timeline while there are plenty in the past . Due to their shiny stones growing in their back . Hunters saw extreme profits and started hunting them like the hunters hunting elephants for ivory .

And now these beasts are under the care of the Immortals in the original timeline.

Jay :

Era what can you tell me more about those beasts .

Era :

They have a crystal hardness of 9.2 , strong legs , have the ability to detach and regrow the diamonds in their back . They are tetra pedal and used their frontal paws for attacking and hind paws to maintain balance . They have sharp eyes which can catch rapid movements , Just like dragons their bellies are exposed .

They have a carnivorous diet . And due to this nature they are very aggressive animals , they live on rough terrains , and are available in different formats mostly distinguishable with the crystal covering the back .

Jay :

Any weakpoints.

Era :

A slight opening about 12 cm is present at the nape . Disabling legs might be a viable option but not recommended.

Fire magic not recommended, these animals can survive extreme temperatures .

Jay :

Okay thanks. But let me take you both to safety .

Era :

It's okay I'll walk on my own , now go .

Now let's take this beast down . Now using the treasures of Chroma we will hunt them down .

But we were stopped .

? : STOP . Please move to a safe location we will handle this .

A band of mages and soldiers arrived . The soldiers weilded hammers . The soldiers distracted the beasts by hitting them with hammers while dodging their diamond spiked tail .

Meanwhile the mages started casting their magic slowly .

They would complete around a 2 minute mark and would fire a single shot . Slowly but surely they overwhelm the beasts and a victory is claimed .

Atleast this was expected . But when things have gone theory wise .

As the beasts have an ability to detach the diamonds on their backs . But she forgot to tell us that detach doesn't mean lauching them . Like a cannonball. Or atleast in this case like a mortar .

The shots were fired as the diamond detached and it had regrowed almost instantly while the diamond in the air split into pieces and fell on the group Pelting them with stones .

But this wasn't able to stop them the mages finally responded with , Fire , Magic .

And as expected it was useless . And the mages now started casting another spell.

While the number of soldiers with hammers was being thinned out. Eventually the entire platoon lost . And they retreated with 5 casualties and 12 people injured .

The diamond beast then made contact with us and roared. Readying for battle .

McElroy laid the first attack as he jumped 13.5 feet high in the air . And swung down a big hammer made of ice. Length : 2.5m , breadth : 2m , Height 3 m . The density of ice is more than water thus this attack was effective . The diamond beast was stunned by this attack . As the shock travelled through its body .

The diamond beast blinked for a moment but that's when he was met with a barrage of water spears flying towards it .

They impacted the diamond beast causing it to turn over and McElroy went for the kill .

But the diamond beast turned around and detached the diamond in its back at high speed . Taking McElroy in the air and McElroy was out of control since he was stunned

Meanwhile

I've heard everything about this and I'm certain I can win . This might be easier .

I rushed towards the diamond beast and it attempted to but my as it opened its wide mouth . And before it could close it I slid under it .

And attempted to stab it . But I couldn't pierce it's skin . It was hard .

It tried to crush me by using its body weight but I shifted towards the side and tried to bind the whip sword towards its legs .

And I pulled forward . But the beast was too heavy

But I compensated it with my strength and pulled it and the diamond beast fell .

I targeted the nape of the beast as I took aim and jumped and I came down towards the nape but the beast was intelligent enough to trick me it opened its mouth .

Its mouth revealed 3 layers of teeth arranged side by side . I had a moment of but the joke's on you .

As I served it a side dish .

An 2X2.5X2 m Iron block . And it fell into its mouth . And it was dragged to the ground .

Jay :

You're mine .

The nape was visible there weren't any crystals growing there just like Era said . I took up the scissor blade and stabbed the area and cut it by dragging the blade across it's neck .

The beast lost its consciousness and died .

Returning to the other scene .

From the sky descended McElroy with an larger than life block of ice much much bigger than before .

McElroy:

Take this .

He threw the ice towards the ice beast which the beast calmly reacted by lauching diamond and altering the trajectory of the block .But it forgot to factor in one thing McElroy who came down and slammed Gunther down in its. neck and Slayer the diamond beast .

McElroy:

That was much less time consuming than before .

Quest completed:

Rewards : +20 all stats .

The two girls were just standing in the middle of the road watching our fight .

Jay :

I said to go somewhere safe .

Era :

I'm standing in a safe spot .

Jay :

What if I couldn't take care of it .

Era :

You would have done it . I know it .

Arguing just feels impossible since she knows everything. Gahh .

Maria :

Hey Mr , you were very cool back there , how did you do that I want to do it .

Jay :

I'm sure you will . Now let's go where to next .

Maria :

It's a secret spot . I'm sure Era will like it .

Oh they're friends already . When did that happened.
