The Overlord hesitated, a sliver of reluctance tugging at its resolve. Liu Yong, undeterred, pressed on with his plea: "We have no use for this colossal spear any longer. Let us depart swiftly, leave this place behind, and I shall construct for you a novel weapon with utmost haste."
Reluctantly, the Overlord acquiesced and departed.
To their astonishment, the 100-meter-long giant crocodile did not chase either, perhaps weighing its own odds in the matter.
The Overlord faded into the distance, and after considerable exertion, the gargantuan crocodile finally dislodged the colossal spear that had impaled its flesh. With great effort, it too departed the scene.
However, the wound inflicted upon its body bore a striking sight. Had the Overlord possessed even greater strength, it could have pierced the creature's very innards instead of merely embedding itself in muscle and bone.
