Ethan was barely holding on.
Every breath scraped through his chest like broken glass. His ribs screamed with every movement, his muscles trembling from exhaustion. The battle was draining him to the bone.
This was even after noticing the Lithoserpent Burrower's attack patterns.
It allowed him to predict its next move and was the only reason that he was still in one piece without using Beast Assimilation.
But that didn't make killing the Boss Beast any easier, as it towered over him.
A twenty-metre nightmare of stone and muscle rising from the cracked plains like a living landslide.
Dust rolled off its armoured plates as its body lifted higher.
It felt... unstoppable.
Ethan wiped blood from his mouth and stared up at it.
'How the fuck am I supposed to kill this thing?!'
The monster answered with a roar.
