Bab 30: The Final Showdown [5]

'What in the world this is?!'

With a roar that shook the very air, the beast lunged forward, its colossal fists swinging with terrifying speed.

Drake was the first to feel the brunt of its assault. The blow sent him sprawling, his weapon clattering to the ground as he struggled to regain his footing. The maids, undeterred, launched their spells in rapid succession.

But their magic, which had seemed so formidable moments before, now barely seemed to faze the creature. Flames washed over its skin without leaving a mark, and ice shattered harmlessly against its hide.

Kevin charged, his sword gleaming with ethereal light. He aimed for the beast's exposed flank, hoping to exploit a weakness.
