Luca bravely charged again.
His shield slammed into one of its legs, forcing it sideways, while his greatsword followed immediately after.
Clang!
The blade struck its black body. The creature hissed in fury, seemingly surprised by Luca's strength.
Luca grinned through his fear.
But the eight eyes suddenly turned red.
A chill crawled down Luca's spine as he saw the creature open its mouth.
"Luca!" Leah screamed. If Luca died here, then the rest would shortly follow.
[Ice Blast]
A massive burst of ice shot from the creature's mouth and exploded toward him.
It was too late to dodge, so Luca could only raise his shield and brace himself. The impact sent him skidding across the cavern floor.
"Luca!" Michael shouted as he rushed toward him.
"I'm fine." Luca forced himself back onto his feet.
Michael almost wanted to cry. "I told you we should have retreated! Damn it!"
