Chapter 42: Chapter 42: System's Onslaught 3

Around the battle scene, chaos had erupted. Civilians who had witnessed the confrontation were running in all directions, their screams of terror mixing with the Locus's roar. Panic spread like a shockwave, infecting everyone in the vicinity.

Elio, still kneeling on the ground and clinging to his lance, observed the scene with horror. His aching body protested with every movement, but his mind was completely focused on the threat the Locus posed.

The monster, with six lances embedded in its body, seemed momentarily disoriented by the frenzy of movement around it. Its compound eyes moved from side to side, following the civilians fleeing in panic.
