CHAPTER 44: Killing the Boss

Unlike fire, which exploded without issue and required no control, earth spells demanded active control. Lian had discovered this when he summoned the stone block as a shield. It required mana to maintain its active form.

Shaking his head and giving himself a light slap on the face, Freddy charged toward the impaled monster, his resolve hardened by the opportunity Lian had created.

His legs moved in a precise pattern as his hands gripped the greatsword. The runes on it glowed with brilliant green, a sign that whatever attack Freddy was about to unleash would be powerful.

But just as Freddy began to approach the monster, Lian lost control of the spell.

The stone spike that had pierced the worm vanished into blue particles, dissolving like a fleeting illusion, as the monster regained its freedom. A powerful roar shook the air, and the blood coagulated, ready to return to its body to heal the wound.
