Taro and Min pulled in unison, using the monster's own momentum to roll it backward exposing the belly.
But the belly was also completely covered in stone, what could the spear possibly do there?
The audience held their breath, certain they were about to witness a funny failure.
Then Ren spotted it, a single small orifice, barely visible among the rocky plates.
He didn't hesitate.
After a powerful trust the short spear found its target with precision, plunging deep into the creature's cloaca and straight up.
The Stone Lurker tensed once, then went completely still in the next instant. Death came swiftly and silently, catching everyone by surprise.
Silence fell over the training field.
The entire encounter had ended in mere seconds, leaving spectators struggling to process what they'd just witnessed.
"Well," Yang broke the silence, a barely contained smile playing at his lips, "that was... efficient."
