The manticore charged toward the group at high speeds, its paws sinking into the ground from how heavy its strides were.
"I'm buffing evreyone! [Strength] [Defence]" Nadya chanted, and a yellow glow surrounded everyone before fading away.
"That felt good! Get ready, everyone!" Sasha's shield expanded with light as she blocked a deadly strike from the Manticore.
The force of its attack was so strong that even Sasha was getting pushed back. This made sense because Party quests required at least one person of a higher rank to complete them. This meant that a Manticore was technically an S-Rank monster if fought individually.
"Nnghh! My turn!" She slammed her hammer right onto its nose, forcing the beat's front half to bend down.
Amaya took this opportunity to rush in, slashing at the Manticore's legs to immobilize it, but the moment she got close, its tail swooped around, aimed at Amaya's back.
