章 151: The lump of coal

The mantis stopped being observant, and tried to attack now. Despite Tim’s grip, it started walking forward slowly, and it was apparent on its stubborn stride that it wanted goblins for its lunch today!

“Guss… what are you thinking about? He’s gonna bite you in half if he gets any closer!” Tim warned, and he couldn’t do anything else to attack the mantis, because both of his hands were tied, as he tried to push it away using the Soul Grabber ability.

“Hmm…” Gustav stroked his chin, and for once, he didn’t seem as nervous. “If one species has a weak spot, shouldn’t every other seemingly indestructible creature have one as well? Oh, this is going to go very much against protocol, but it’s worth a shot!”
