Garciel's eyes widened as Captain Ruger hurled the explosive device at the monstrous red spider. The device detonated with a deafening boom, sending shockwaves through the forest floor.
The ground trembled beneath their feet, and a massive cloud of dust and smoke engulfed the spider.
Garciel's heart raced with a mix of fear and hope. Had they finally found a way to defeat the beast?
Captain Ruger stood frozen, his chest heaving with exertion and his eyes blazing with anger.
He had thrown the device with all his might, fueled by his rage and frustration. The spider's relentless onslaught had decimated his troops, leaving the survivors injured, shaken, or worse.
How could they have underestimated the creature's strength? The captain's mind raced with self-reproach. He had forgotten the brutal reality of facing a warrior-class beast, a mistake that had cost his team dearly.
