The Beetle crawled through the entrance once again with newfound fury. It stared maliciously at the stone golem with chattering jaws.
Lillian clung to one of its legs and watched as the golem began to shudder. Its stiff body, which was covered in a cloak of moss, had risen again.
She then watched as the outer edges of the viridian gem embedded in its face began to glow. The light then began moving towards the deep centre of it.
And then suddenly...
BZZT...!
A startling beam of green light shot from its crystalline eye. Despite the powerful force behind the ray, the Beetle did not back down in the face of it.
With an unwavering sway of its horn, it slammed it against the viridian beam, scattering and causing it to refract.
Lillian clung tightly against its leg, watching as the ray webbed out around them, colliding with the wall and—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
—causing parts of it to crumble.
SKRRRRR!
