The Trembling World Chapter 468

Chapter 468 - Absolutely Safe
TL: LifeisaJourney
The King Crocodile was trying to shake itself free from the wall of malice. After it was enraged, its strength output has increased several fold. It has also become quite intelligent, as if it had gained stats in wisdom.
The group members with long range abilities started their assault on the King Crocodile. The members with close range abilities contributed in their own way. They picked up rocks and threw them at the King Crocodile. This was the final push, they had to make the time they spent in this dungeon instance worthwhile!
After two hours, the King Crocodile had shifted more than a third of its' body out of wall. The remaining body parts still stuck within the wall were a leg and the tail. The King Crocodile was held in place and was swinging its claws ferociously at Liu Gan's group, irritated by the small creatures that had caused it so much pain. If there was one thing it wanted the most, it was to crush these mice to paste!
Every once in awhile, the King Crocodile would use the Suppression Roar, but it would be countered by Liu Gan's Psychic Shock. Its ability was the only way it could damage them. With physical and psychic attacks coming in, unable to reach Liu Gan and his group, this aggravated the creature even more.
The remaining body parts still had the protection of the shield, so it was still being damaged. Suddenly there was a breakthrough; a bright red flash like glass being shattered. It was a sign that the Black, no, Red Fog Shield had been shattered!
The shield was gone, but its body parts remained deeply embedded in the wall. The King Crocodile unleashed a painful roar, tugging on its leg and tail. It was relying on one of the legs to pull itself up. That was when Liu Gan started using his ability on the reliant foot, combined with physical attacks using his greataxe.
Without any protection, the King Crocodile's leg ruptured with wounds. It wasn't going down without a fight, it kept trying to swat Liu Gan like a fly whenever he got close. Liu Gan made a mistake and nearly died for it. He ended up very close to the wall of malice.
Even if the King Crocodile was like a cornered dog, it was still ferocious. Liu Gan was the annoying pest that it couldn't get rid of. he had caused the King Crocodile great pain and it was aggravated. It did the only thing it could do, it roared in anguish.
"No more protection, and yet you dare open your mouth! Die!" Liu Gan had prepped a hand grenade earlier. He timed it and pulled the pin when the opportunity presented itself, he threw it down.
Like a small rock it ricocheted down the creature's throat. It wasn't bothered by the impact, since it didn't have any immediate effect. The King Crocodile continued to roar. A few seconds later, a dulled out explosion echoed out of the creature's throat. It tore its insides apart, charring the surface on contact. Black blood started overflowing from its mouth.
A hand grenade might not have much effect when it detonated on the outside, and was even less effective than the Enhanced Crescent Blade. However, it was not the same when it detonated on the inside. Even the strongest creature couldn't train its innards to withstand attacks.
The explosion did quite a lot of damage to the King Crocodile. Afterwards, it couldn't even roar anymore. With the pain growing on its leg and tail, and now its throat, the struggle to pull its leg free had lessened.
"Now that you are weakened, I will take your life!"
Liu Gan used another round of Psychic Shock. Now that the Crocodile was weaker, it was stunned rigid. Liu Gan took the opportunity to charge up in front of the creature's head. Liu Gan shoved another unpinned hand grenade down its throat.
The King Crocodile tried everything in its' power to swing Liu Gan away. Under its weakened state, its speed had lowered significantly, so Liu Gan was able to dodge it easily. Liu Gan retreated to a safe distance outside the range of its attack.
Bang!
The hand grenade exploded in the King Crocodile's throat again. Originally, the creature's head was lifted up, but after the second explosion, its head fell flat on the ground. The only things that were moving were the eyes glaring at Liu Gan. From the angry looks, it couldn't roar at all. It didn't even have the strength to open its mouth!
"Go die! Die!"
For the sake of this dungeon instance, Liu Gan had wasted a month of his time to prep for this King Crocodile. By now, he was exhausted physically and mentally. Powered by extreme rage, Liu Gan kept using his Enhanced Crescent Blade on the Crocodile's head constantly when it was available.
Going with his previous encounters, his go-to strategy for killing creatures usually involved beheading them, or smashing in their brains. So the sure way of ensuring something was dead usually ended with their brain matter spread across the floor in patterns that would signify a violent beating.
Until this fight was over, everything was crucial. Up until the deciding moment, he couldn't relax. Until the experience orbs had entered his body, it was still a gamble between the wall of malice and him. It might mean that he gained nothing from all this wasted effort.
So Liu Gan had to act before it was too late. Liu Gan focused solely on doing everything he could that would maximize damage.
Now that the King Crocodile was near death, it wouldn't even budge. In its enraged condition, the morphology was different. Its bone density was several times denser, yet Liu Gan continued to hack away at its skull.
"Damn! I don't believe that I can't kill you!"
Liu Gan climbed onto the King Crocodile's head, as he assumed a position like he was riding a horse. He was enraged. His greataxe wasn't able to produce the result he was looking for. Instead he opted for using his fist and then using the Enhanced Crescent Blade. After a few minutes, Liu Gan's fist did more damage than his greataxe did. His fist pounded a depression into and through the surface of the reptile's cranium!
From that depression, Liu Gan shoved another hand grenade underneath the bone, into the soft brain matter of its skull!
