After being affected by the poison, the movement speed of the Earth Overturning Great monster slowed down quite a bit. This allowed the other knights to now have a chance of dodging it's attacks.
Not just that but with their numbers advantage, some of them even managed to get close to the monsters in order to land a few hits. Obviously the knights used life force to strengthen themselves and their weapons when landing the hits.
But even then, those attacks were able to barely create a few dents in the scales and hide of the great monster. So these attacks failed to reach even the flesh of the monster and were completely useless.
Karl had also taken this opportunity to land a blow on the large beast and just like the others, his attack was was also not very effective.
Most of the knights here had specialisation in the strength attribute. So if they could not hurt the beast, then doing so would be even harder of the knights whose's speciality was not strength.
