YM778.TV Chapter 42 Eggshell and rock
Myra and Mera argued loudly with each other, their tactics were also relatively simple.
Mera will focus on using [Earth Wall] to block Roc\'s advance, while Myra will use [Fire Bullet] to attack.
The theory was fine, but practice showed how correct Kain\'s previous decision was.
Roc\'s speed was not as fast as Moled\'s, but its massive, rock-hard body was enough to become a deadly weapon, capable of both offense and defense. Myra\'s [Fire Bullet] had quite the power, but each shot could only burn through one layer on the outside.
This injury to Roc was like peeling off a layer of skin, it was impossible to truly injure it.
At the same time, Myra was unable to completely destroy all the Eyels on the Roc\'s body. Because these two things together create an incredibly tight combination.
Eyel not only appeared on the surface of the Roc, they also clung deep into the gaps on the Roc\'s body, borrowing the Roc\'s narrow space and possible toughness to avoid being destroyed too easily. That was also the reason Myra\'s [Fire Bullet] could not completely destroy all the Eyel.
Only Kain\'s [Thunder Magic], which had high conductivity, could ignore obstacles and directly burn all the Eyels on Roc\'s body.
Even in that dire situation, Kain\'s voice rang out like a savior.
"Mera, hold this thing down for me, just for a moment!"
"Myra, prepare [Fire Bullet]!"
Both Myra and Mera were happy inside, but on the outside they still used their magic skills seriously.
At this moment, the Roc\'s two huge legs were held back by the boulders created by Mera. This kind of obstacle could hardly stop the Roc for even a few seconds, but it was enough for Kain.
Only to see him rushing forward at full speed, the monster blood splattered on his body still fresh. Kain in a moment of observation simulated the entire body shape of this Roc in his mind, including the places on the body that had been damaged by Myra\'s [Fire Bullet].
His arm held the dagger tightly, both [Enhancement Body] and [Enhancement Tool] were pushed to their limits. As soon as he approached the Roc, he quickly launched powerful stabs, targeting the areas that had been attacked by Myra and had been somewhat damaged.
The Roc\'s body is made of stone, making them nearly invincible to all enemies. But not all.
Once Kain stopped using attacks spread across a certain surface - which the Roc could easily defend against - he switched to hitting hard at one point, only one point.
The principle of this is very easy to understand.
During his childhood, an uncle in Kain\'s village once taught him a trick, he used his entire hand to squeeze an egg with all his strength, but the egg, which looked weak, did not break. However, when this person used only one finger and tapped on the egg, the eggshell that could withstand the force of a grown man broke.
This was just a little trick adults played on children. But among these children, there was one who seemed to have understood something.
Eggshells are not flexible, they can withstand compression very well, which is when the uncle applies pressure to the entire surface of the eggshell. That\'s why the egg was safe and sound.
But when this uncle used only one finger, this caused the bearing area of the eggshell to shrink, turning the compressive force on the entire eggshell into a compressive force on a part of the eggshell surface, causing this part of the eggshell to be "pulled" away from the overall eggshell. Since the eggshell has no elasticity, it quickly broke and the egg was broken.
Here, Roc\'s body is made of stone, it is hard, strong but has no elasticity, just like the nature of stone.
So, Kain just needed to recreate the old trick.
To him, whether it was the fragile eggshell or the sturdy body of the Roc, they were essentially no different.
In the eyes of both Myra and Mera, the seemingly indestructible shell of Roc was broken by the small dagger in Kain\'s hand.
Right on the head.
Myra came to her senses and quickly released a pre-charged [Fire Bullet] straight at the spot where Roc\'s defense had been broken. Kain didn\'t stop, he even released another [Thunder Bullet] along with Myra\'s [Fire Bullet].
In the end, this Roc had to fall and die under the combined efforts of all three people.
Myra and Mera ran towards Kain in joy, but their expressions changed when they saw the knife in Kain\'s hand fall to the ground.
"Kain!"
"Kain! What\'s going on!"
The two of them seemed to be frightened, but Kain just shook his head after hearing that.
"It\'s not dangerous, it\'s just that my arm is injured."
To be more precise, Kain\'s wrist bones could not withstand the recoil when he delivered that extremely powerful thrust. Just like when you punch a hard surface, what gets damaged the most is not the surface of the fist, but the weakest part - the wrist bone.
Kain had long since learned to fix his wrists when attacking to avoid injury, to the point that it was second nature to him. However, this time it was truly too much for Kain.
[Enhancement Body] did its best. If it weren\'t for this magic skill, worse things could have happened like his arm would have been broken and all the bones in his wrist would have been shattered.
He still has a fracture, though. It wasn\'t too bad and Kain could be aided by Myra\'s [Heal], but this would still affect their upcoming journey somewhat.
And to be sure, Kain\'s wrist was temporarily immobilized.
"We have to get out of here quickly, more monsters might be attracted here at any moment."
Three of them quickly left the scene of battle.
