The fight raged on for hours, but it was a one-sided massacre in the archmages' favor. Although the two women were rivals, they coordinated surprisingly well.
The octopus was frozen into blocks of ice or sliced into chunks. Finally, the red-haired woman located its magic chamber and sent an arrow straight through it before the monster could react.
A loud crack rang out, and a wave of residual magical energy spread across the ocean. Its massive body then fell backwards into the water with a loud splash.
The city lord held her breath as she watched the octopus's unmoving body, praying that it had finally died and wouldn't regenerate again.
Blue blood coated the water's surface. The octopus let out an inaudible, pained hiss before its body finally stopped moving.
Seconds turned into minutes as everyone held their breath and watched. When they realized the octopus was finally dead, deafening cheers erupted through the air.
"Ahhh!"
"It's dead!"
"We finally won!"
