Frizcop: Thanks, Namir! I appreciate your support ^^!
“Belmont! Galmont! Damn it!”
“Buganvilia, get a grip! If you hesitate here, you’ll die! Remember our promise from that day? You’ll find a wonderful husband and have a precious baby! Stay strong!”
The situation in the battle was far from favorable. Even with Thunder Sonia and Nemesia, the two elven mages, using their powerful lightning magic, they only managed to scorch the monster’s skin. Similarly, the sword strikes from fighters like Nazar and Romulus barely caused significant damage. The strong blows from Barabara do Banga targeting the monster’s joints were all successfully blocked. Yes, blocked. Despite the apparent chaotic frenzy, the monster possessed intellect and knowledge. There was a clear sense of purpose: the desire to immobilize everyone present for as long as possible, driven by the will of Sage Caspar.
The giant’s magic emerging from its massive hands amplified human magic many times over, and his method of attacking the weakest first was a fundamental human tactical approach. Furthermore, he used his massive body to strike at their members. Although it seemed somewhat inexperienced, it didn’t fight recklessly but rather mixed in changes of pace, effectively wearing down Thunder Sonia and the others.
No one knew it, but everyone present could feel it. Perhaps it was the first time Sage Caspar had taken this form. However, the act of transforming to fight was not new to him.
Maybe Sage Caspar was thinking ahead: after taking his time to immobilize everyone present, he could defeat a few and then escape. If they kept fighting, the guards assisting important figures to escape the danger zone and the soldiers defending this area would soon arrive in force. He might try to settle the battle before that or even cut through it.
Their current location was just outside the city walls. Ideally, they would immobilize the monster here and defeat him. However, Sage Caspar seemed to understand this as well, occasionally showing signs of wanting to head towards the castle, which was frustrating.
“Damn it, we can’t pursue Poplatica like this! They’ll end up escaping!”
