Chapter 22: Hunting competition (4)
[Physis's POV]
When I rode my horse as fast as I could and arrived at the destination where the mother monster was headed, it was the place where princesses were waiting.
The mother monster frantically thrust her head to attack a certain princess who was trembling in fear while hugging that baby monster in her arms. And Adilun was desperately using magic to protect that princess.
The good news was that it was still not too late. And as soon as I witnessed that scene, I immediately grabbed the throwing spear that was hanging from the horse's saddle and threw it.
Wedge-!
A bloody sound piercing the air was heard, and the spear flew and stuck into the body of the monster whose head was buried in the protection magic.
Bang!
Its body bounced off from the impact of the spear, but the impact itself did not seem to be that great.
The spear, which must have been properly pierced into its torso, gradually began to protrude out of its body. It seemed to be a specie with quite a bit of self-regeneration ability.
Just in case, to confirm my doubts I examined it with my mana eyes. And the reason why the spear fell from the monster's body was as excepted. The dark and turbid airflow of mana in its body was healing its body on its own.
Not only that but mana and magic did not work on it either, as if it was the special property of its leather and fur.
And looking around, I saw signs of all sorts of magic, so it seemed that Adilun had used offensive magic to defeat it, but it didn't seem to work.
