The mutated beast and Nina fought back and forth in a fierce exchange. When it realized that her defense was agile and it could not break through no matter how it attacked, it grew increasingly irritable. Its savage gaze flicked toward the protective barrier—and it suddenly charged in that direction.
Nina's heart lurched. She rushed back to shield the barrier.
Seeing her return, the beast intensified its assault.
To protect her cubs, Nina had no choice but to endure the attacks head-on in front of the barrier.
But she knew this could not continue. She had to kill it quickly.
The beast lunged again. This time, instead of defending passively, Nina struck the instant it came within range. Thick, powerful vines shot out and bound the beast tightly. In that brief moment of restraint, she slapped a Immobilization Talisman onto its body. As the creature froze in place, she summoned several enormous, razor-sharp spikes and drove them mercilessly into its body.
