The Guardian System: The strongest Summoner's quest to save his family Chapter 205 205: The Mire Crawlers (3)

The Tyrant Mire-King roared, unleashing an earth-shaking blast that bent the reeds flat and sent ripples racing across the black water. As the monster sprinted forward, its six massive legs drove through the mud, shaking the ground with each heavy step and sending up sprays of sludge.

Reidar's army t the charge without flinching, as the five hulking bears from his Feral Pack lowered their heads and bellowed a challenge. They crashed into the Tyrant head-on, where their claws swiped and tore grooves in its armored scales but ultimately failed to penetrate.

The King retaliated, raking its claws across a bear's shoulder. Although the beast roared in pain, it held its ground while its companions sward the Tyrant's flanks.

Above the lee, the forty elite lightning Rift-Sprites unleashed a coordinated volley of blue-white lightning bolts that struck the Tyrant's back.

Its scales blackened and smoked under the electrical attack, which caused the creature to shudder and halt its charge, searching for the source of the stinging bites.

Finally, the thirty skeletal warriors gathered around the grappling titans, acting as a network of bones that looked for weak points. Their weapons struck at the joints behind the Tyrant's legs and at the softer tissue of its stomach whenever it reared up.

The Tyrant's tail whipped like a spiked club, smashing three skeletal warriors into bone dust, while its jaws crunched down on a fourth and pulverized it.

Despite the losses, the remaining skeletons didn't break; they continued to stab and hack at the gaps between the creature's scales.

The bears circled the monster, attacking from the sides as one charged the creature's back leg and bit deep into the thick plating.

In response, the Tyrant roared and kicked out hard, sending the bear flying until it crashed against a tree trunk and dissolved into shimring mist.

From behind the fray, the spectral mages lifted their staves, causing stone walls to burst from the ground in an effort to stop the monster from moving.

Although one wall shattered under an extrely brutal kick, another held just long enough for a bear to clamp its jaws around one of the monsters' legs.

Near the edges of the fight, the shadow guardians attacked using their lances, which didn't hit as hard as Reidar wanted, but each strike softened the Tyrant's defenses, even if only for a second.

More importantly, the creatures siphoned mana from the air and fed a steady trickle back to Reidar, which helped keep his army going.

Twenty fire lances then slamd into the Tyrant's wounded side, and the impact rocked the beast so hard that molten blood oozed from its cracked scales, sizzling on the wet earth.

This ti, its roar was one of pain, not just rage. It counterattacked with a tail sweep through another cluster of skeletal warriors, destroying more than six in one blow.

Its jaws then closed around a bear's head, crushing through bone and mana-construct flesh before the creature shook its prey like a dog with a rat and threw the dissolving corpse aside.
