The first day, the heroes had prepared for Tortoise who had just woken up from her sleep. Tortoise roared loudly as if yawning.
*Gaoooo..........
"You're all ready?"Ask Marcel.
No one answered, the answer itself was clearly on the faces of those who focused entirely on Tortoise. Marcel smiled and thought that he could defeat this creature even though the three foolish heroes were not present.
"Then... Come on!" Marcel.
All the heroes dashed towards Tortoise while a small team from the Kingdom followed behind them. Nadia, the Claw hero swings from one tree to another. Almost like Tarzan. He can throw his claws and stick them in the trees around and then pull them back so that he gets carried away.
For Petra, she threw herself with her fan so she was in front of everyone.
Although yesterday they were exposed to the Tortoise Parasite, thanks to Ozaru, they had fully recovered and were ready to fight. They should have rested for about a day, but due to circumstances could not let them do so.
While running, Marcel said, "If we can't beat him today, we should at least figure out how to beat him!" with a loud voice.
Everyone says "Yes!" firmly and focused back to Tortoise which had stood out completely. From anywhere, this creature is still amazing. The size appears larger if you look closely and the eyeballs glow white light.
Tortoise noticed the presence of the heroes approaching him and raised his left leg. He intended to step on the Rata of the approaching heroes.
"Spread!" Takatsumi Shouts.
All the heroes spread out to the corners of the place. Even a small favor from the Kingdom could only watch from a distance. They didn't have the same speed as heroes, so if Tortoise intended to stomp them with its big feet, they wouldn't have the chance to dodge. The best option for them is to help from a safe distance.
"Strike his head!" shout Argo.
attacking other parts was a waste of time, especially the shell covered in mountains. Only a fool would try to attack him. Aland ran towards Tortoise and stood right under his head. He twisted his hammer and threw it at Tortoise's neck.
"Sharp of destruction!" Shouted Aland.
The hammer uniquely casts a giant blue-colored shadow. Almost like Rigel's Mana Manipulation. The hammer hit Tortoise's neck very hard. Tortoise's head was slightly slammed upwards due to the loud impact.
*Gaooo......
Tortoise roared in annoyance and seeing the opportunity, Takumi ran over with a dash to throw his spear.
"Javelin Strike!" Shouted Takumi.
Takumi's spear shot swiftly towards the inside of Tortoise's mouth. On the other hand, Hazama creates an air shield to support Marcel's footing.
Marcel jumped up and stepped on Hazama's air shield as his foothold and jumped over again. Marcel revolved in the air and smashed the tip of his scythe blade into Tortoise's head with an extremely powerful force.
*Clen.....
His scythe hit Tortoise simultaneously with Takumi's Spear hitting him from within. They managed to injure Tortoise by attacking him from the outside and inside. Even so, to Tortoise the wound was just like a mosquito sting. Marcel immediately jumped back to Takumi and stood by his side.
Tortoise was about to attack them using his strength, yet something struck both of his eyes.
"Feel this, damn it!" Nadia.
Nadia clawed at Tortoise's left eye quickly and made him lose his left eye. On the other hand, Petra also attacked her right eye.
"feel this, Rose Fan!" Shouted Petra, using a Skill.
Petra folded her fan and pointed the tip at Tortoise's eye. The fan started to glow and took out a fan blade that shot straight into Tortoise's eyes. The moment the blade struck, he began to take out a Rose-like branch of thorns and smashed his eyes.
Tortoise let out a sick and upset scream, yet there was no time for the hero to shut up and wait. Takatsumi and Argo who were on the other side jumped from two opposite sides. Takatsumi changed the handle of his sword and stuck it on Tortoise's neck, as did Argo.
"Star Sword!" Shouted Takatsumi, using a Skill.
"Star Blade!" Shouted Argo, using a skill.
The Takatsumi Sword and the Argo Blade gave off the same light and stuck into Tortoise's neck at the same time. Argo manages to stab his knife, but Takatsumi only manages to stick half of his sword.
*Clang....
Even so, the plan continues. They pulled their weapons in the opposite direction. Takatsumi's up while Argo's down.
"Yahoooo!!!" Argo roars.
The plan was to decapitate Tortoise in that way. But it looks like this will fail because Tortoise's neck is thicker and harder than before. Takatsumi and Argo jump right down and go to Marcel and Takumi's place.
"Tch, it doesn't seem to work." Marcel cursed.
"Yes... There's something strange about the hardness of his skin." Takatsumi.
"It's louder than yesterday, what happened to it?" Ask Argo.
Hazama who was supporting from behind ran over to Marcel and the others. He seemed to find something about the mystery behind the strange Tortoise.
"as Argo said. Her skin looked harder than before.I thought, if Tortoise increases her skin thickness." Hazama.
"Even Rigel's nuclear explosion scar and the wound we gave him yesterday have fully recovered. The question is, when and how did he do it?" Takumi said confusedly.
Everyone thought the same as what Takumi said. During the fight, they did not see Tortoise heal the wounds he received and for his time to heal, there was only one...
"... I see, yes. He healed himself as he got into the shell and fell asleep!" Takatsumi said with annoyance.
"Ah, asshole... It's gonna be a lot harder than I imagined..." Argo.
"Moreover, only Aland has an attack with a wide range.This is all because of your selfishness to refuse cooperation with Rigel..." Takumi looked at Marcel, Takatsumi and Argo in annoyance.
"Yes... He's a man of mystery, I'm sure he has a lot of cards with broad attacks like Nuclear bombs... For now let's forget about that. We have to figure out how to defeat this thing." Hazama.
Marcel and the others could not argue Takumi's words. If you talk about attacks with a wide range and strong, indeed, Rigel's Nuclear Bomb can be relied on.
But that doesn't mean they don't have anything better. Even Takumi had attacks with a wide range like the Spear of judgment and the increased power of the Curse of laziness. But such a thing was too energy draining.
'Tch. I also have an attack that is even more powerful than Nuclear. Because it is too strong, I might only be able to take it out four times and after that I would be very exhausted.' Takatsumi.
Takatsumi noticed the surroundings again. Aland, Nadia and Petra were flirting with Tortoise while the others gathered. Even Takumi was observing Tortoise well. He felt there was an oddity with Tortoise. While observing Petra and the others fight, Takumi realized one thing was stuck in his mind. He wanted to call for her, but it only took time until Petra and the others were exhausted, so there was no time to wait for the night. When Tortoise falls asleep.
"I have something worth discussing. But for us, we must hold Tortoise until nightfall..." Takumi.
Takatsumi, Marcel, Argo and Hazama are shocked by what Takumi says.
"You're right. We must pay attention to all the movements of this creature and find a way to defeat it... Come on, let's help Petra and the others!" Marcel.
They re-move and hold Tortoise by expending as little energy as possible. At the very least, Tortoise remained in place and did not get close to the iron wall, their last defense until nightfall.
