LRAB Chapter 78 Two-headed Red Tail
Chapter 78 Two-headed Red Tail
Ethan's mind raced as he barely escaped the massive axe, the force of its impact sending tremors through the ground. This thing is a tank, he thought, his eyes darting to his insectoids as they regrouped and launched another relentless assault on the hulking demon.
No, this was a bad choice. He needed to choose something weaker. Something he could turn the tables with. Also, even if he somehow killed this demon, he wasn't sure if he could add it to his summoning list. It could become a repeat of the zombie fiasco.
Ethan's gaze landed on the two-headed beast fighting against three of his wolves. "That one." He commanded one more insectoid to join the fight with the hulking demon and dashed toward the two-headed beast.
His wolves snapped and lunged at the creature, but it fought back viciously, its twin heads snapping at the air with rows of jagged teeth. Each head moved independently, coordinating its strikes to keep the wolves at bay.
[Level 29, Two-headed Red Tail]
The two-headed beast roared, its massive form twisting as one head lunged at a wolf, its jaws clamping down with a sickening crunch. The wolf yelped before vanishing into a puff of mana, leaving Ethan down one summon.
The other wolves fought on, their teeth sinking into the beast's flanks, but their attacks barely pierced its thick hide. The beast was relentless, its movements fluid and brutal as it swiped and snapped at anything within reach.
Ethan sprinted toward the melee, shouting, "Keep it busy!" His wolves redoubled their efforts, distracting the creature as Ethan maneuvered into position.
With a flick of his wrist, he summoned two slimes. The gelatinous creatures landed on the battlefield with wet splats, their semi-translucent forms undulating as they oozed toward the beast.
Ethan staggered back, panting, as the system notification appeared.
[Ding! The entity Two-headed Red Tail has been added to your summoning list]
"Oh fuck, thanks!" Ethan panted rigorously. For a moment he was worried the level difference or its race might do something funny but just like the other beasts this one was also added to the list.
His hand trembled slightly, still feeling the vibrations from the repeated stabs that had brought the beast down. But there was no time to celebrate. He summoned the newest recruit and tried to take advantage of the chaos.
"Do you know any one of those guys' weak points?" He asked the beast and to his surprise, the beast snorted and dashed forward.
The Red Tail barreled toward one of the demons—a lanky, clawed creature with glowing red veins crisscrossing its blackened skin. The demon hissed in surprise, slashing at the charging beast, but the Red Tail moved with surprising agility for its size. One head lunged low, snapping at the demon's legs, while the other head aimed for its midsection.
The demon stumbled back, unbalanced by the ferocious attack. Ethan's mind raced as he watched the scene unfold. "If this thing knows how to fight them effectively, I might have an actual shot."
Ethan turned to the wolves and insectoids on his right side. "Support the Red Tail!" he commanded, his voice steady despite the chaos around him.
His summons moved as one, flanking the struggling demon while the Red Tail pinned it down. The group then surrounded the demon and attacked it relentlessly.
