Chapter 170: Killing The Giant Salamander

Giant Salamander Has four feet. Each foot has five toes. Or is it fingers? Well, if I count its front feet as hands, then maybe ten fingers and ten toes. In any case, the Giant Salamander has twenty toes. And I managed to break twelve of them.

Two from its right front foot, three from its left front foot, two toes in its left hind foot, and all five of its right hind foot.

The Giant Salamander has difficulty maintaining its balance with its heavy weight. It tried to stand with its palms on the ground, but it’s only making that Giant Salamander unable to move. Standing on its four feet is the only thing it can do. But with its tail on behind it, it can still barely able to move by using its tail as a pivot.

Did it do this instinctively? If so, that’s awesome!

Well, thanks to it using its tail as pivot to help it move, I know that this lizard no longer has any means to attack me. The Giant Salamander has no means to attack under its body other than slamming its own body to the ground. But once it did that, it won’t be able to stand anymore.

“Damn! You’re evil!” Victoria exclaimed as I explained to her my plan.

“Hahaha! As long as we win! If we defeat this monster, not just your time will be full. I can also probably raise my summoning level! As for this lizard’s fire around its body, those things don’t have any effect on me! I’m nearly invincible even though I’m not proud to what I have to wear. The heat doesn’t bother me anyway!” I said as I’m aiming for another one of the lizard’s toes.

.....

“...it should be the cold.” Victoria whispered something.

“Heat or cold, neither of them can harm me at the moment!”

“That’s not what I’m talking about, but sure. Are you going to keep hammering its toes like this? This lizard doesn’t have much toes anymore.” Victoria asked.

“Of course not! Once people realized that this thing unable to move, they would swarm over here and cast their magic to attack this thing. There’s no way those people would try to leave such easy kill alone. All of them are fighting over the fame of defeating this monster. Unless they are smart.”

Smart people won’t try to gain achievement this way. It will only cause trouble for themselves. If the story that this monster was defeated by some weak hunters spread, and the rumor is different from the fact, those hunters will gain recognition and will be trusted to receive difficult tasks.

I can see from the gate that many people already noticed how the Giant Salamander has difficulty moving and they are started to approach us. Some of them even already casted magic from that far.

There are even hunters who have retreated into the city, returning back to the battlefield hoping for an achievement. I really want to kill them.

Meanwhile, the Giant Salamander realized that it will be surrounded soon, so it prepared to use its flame breath attack again. Although during the fight I managed to turn its body slightly so it no longer looking at the city, it can still move its neck. And it is aiming for the idiot hunters who are coming straight from the city. Which means if those idiots can’t block the fire breath, the city will be in danger.

Well, I have faith that the fire will hit those idiots! Please die for the sake of the citizen! I hope the damage to the city won’t be too big.

Oh, wait! The smarter hunters are actually still near the gate and didn’t move at all! And they are cooperating in building barriers from ice and earth to stop the fire breath!

They should be able to protect the city. I will try to smash another toe wishing that it will scream in pain again and attacked the sky, but seems like the Giant Salamander can now endure the pain and still aimed at the incoming hunters.

Obviously, most of them died. Some of them had half of their bodies burnt. Some lost their limbs. But they are all idiots so I don’t really pity them at all.

The fire goes on until it hits the barrier and stops.

After that, the smarter hunters are spread right and left, making sure no one is in a straight line to the city as they get closer to the Giant Salamander. As for the idiots, most of them retreating again.

I think there are more hunters than before even including the ones who retreated. Maybe it means the other areas are already safe.

As for the airborne troops, the wyverns seem to be retreating after they feel the heat of the fire breath from the Giant Lizard. So Kron and the others are coming here.

Having so many reinforcements is fine and all, but I hope I will be the one who hit this lizard last since I want to improve my summoning level quickly. I’m curious about monsters’ world and what kind of monster I can get contract with.

Back to the battle. I’m going for another one of the Giant Salamander’s toes, but seems like it gave up attacking other people.

It purposely pressed down its body as I’m still under this monster. If it was anyone else, they would be pressed to death. But I’m faster than other people. I can escape before I got caught.

Now seeing the Giant Salamander on its belly, should make it easier for me, but that’s wrong.

The Giant Salamander still has a lot of strength in all four of its legs. With putting the heels of its feet to the ground, it can still stand up again while enduring the pain from its broken toes.

“Look! Whatever you did before are all useless! Attacking its toes doesn’t mean anything!”

Victoria sure loves to complain.

“At least its movement is slowed down significantly. Now, what to do? Maybe I’ll just pierce its brain or its heart. I guess I should aim at its heart. But attacking from its chest might be difficult since it might press down its body again. Maybe from its back?” I thought.

I run on its side climbing to its back with my feet sticking to it. With my Divine Vision’s see-through ability, I can see where its heart is located. The heart’s location is closer to its back than its chest. But the back is harder, I guess I need a better weapon to be able to hit that far.

“Roy, what weapon will you use?” While climbing on the Giant Salamander’s back, Victoria asked me.

“I’m still thinking. Do you have any suggestion?” I asked back.

“I do. I’ll show you once you’ve arrived on its back.”

“We’re here anyway. I’m right above its heart. What weapon will you show me?”

While chatting with Victoria, I have arrived to where I’m going. Not on top of its back, but right above its heart. This way, I just need to pierce through below me to kill it.

And Ms. Wendy already arrived here while carrying Candy, and Candy is attacking the Giant Salamander’s head. Candy attacked with lightning magic to its eye, but the Giant Salamander dodge it and the lightning struck its forehead. But it didn’t do much damage. I guess its forehead is really the strongest part of this Salamander.

And then all the other hunters also arrived. Even another group of idiots is coming.

From head to tail, this Giant Salamander is covered with fire. But there are still many idiots here attacking with fire magic.

“Roy, I’ll show you the best weapon for this occasion!” Victoria said.

Then the armored part in my right hand, where Victoria usually transformed into sword or hammer, changed into a... drill?

“It’s a drill! Cover this drill with your Aura and make it spin over and over again on the target!”

“Victoria... you are the best! This is a great idea!” I praised Victoria for her idea. ????n????????ℯ????d. ????o????

“Hehe... of course I know you will like it. I am the one closest to you after all. I know your preference.”

Seems like she’s thinking of what I want as well. I’m grateful for her help.

Meanwhile, the Giant Salamander noticed I’m on its back and it keep shaking its body trying to threw me. But with my Aura ability, I can stick my feet to its back like a glue. I’m more of a lizard than this Giant Salamander.

“Victoria. Can you spin fast enough for the drill to dig through this thick scales’ back?”

“That’s up to you. See that thing beside the drill that looks like a reel for fishing? Just spin it real fast.”

I looked at where she told me, and there’s indeed something I can spin. I tried spinning the reel and the drill indeed spinning. It spun as fast as I spin the reel.

Now that I know how to use the drill, I stick the tip of the drill right above the heart and spun the reel as fast as possible.

At first, it was quite though drilling the scale. But I spun the reel faster and the drill finally break through the scale after just a few minutes. Of course the Giant Salamander tried to fight back, but I’m immune to fire at the moment. Other hunters must be thinking that I’m burning, but I’m totally fine. And even if someone else is wearing the stocking, only those with air magic can breathe in this place.

After drilling through its scale, the rest are easy. The skin, the muscle, it was easy to pierce those and I purposely attack it in between its ribs so there is no bone between me and its heart.

The Giant Salamander stopped its fire and keep flailing about because of the pain, but I ignore it. I wonder how a quadrupedal animal scratch their back?

And I find the answer soon enough. The Giant Salamander tried flip its body upside down to press its back on me. Knowing I’m in danger, I enlarge the drill and make a huge hole from where I first drilled its body enough for me to enter.

Because of the first hole I dig, it was easy and I can enlarge the hole enough for me to enter. I’m totally covered in blood. As for the smell, I have air magic to cover my nose and mouth with.

After I entered its back, I changed the drill again to a smaller type since it’s faster. While I’m upside down and shaking, I drilled through its heart.

Finally, the Giant Salamander stopped moving and died.

“Roy! I can feel it! I’m finally able to take control of this slime fully!”

“I know! I can feel that there’s some kind of power entering my body and improving my summoning element! I think I’ll be able to reach Intermediate level soon!”

We’re both happy with the result. But there’s one thing we forget. We’re still inside the salamander’s body and the place we entered from is blocked since the lizard is laying on its back.

I guess I should continue drilling until I left through its chest.
