The centipede, feeling the lack of air, burst out from the ground in a heartbeat.
But this time everyone was ready.
"Big guy, tank the attack."
"Me?!"
"..."
"Roger!"
"Extro and Vienna, attack it from the sides."
"Huh? Extro?"
"Yes, you! And Diana, circle it from behind."
"Why are we being so careful? It's a mere Bronze centipede."
Vienna's impatient voice echoed through the dry sands.
"Learn to coordinate first."
"Tsk."
Making a displeased face, Vienna attacked the centipede from the side along with Extro.
As for Diana, she obeyed my orders and circled the monster from behind.
Being flanked from all sides, the centipede chose to attack the big guy first, but its attempts were stopped midway by the combined assault from the three sides.
Extro, being a Bronze core, didn't leave much damage on the hard shell of the monster.
But Diana, along with the Elven princess, left deep gashes across its body, leading to the creature roaring in pain.
"Aahh!"
